  1. Yes they do know of us , through Sikh homeopaths/doctors visiting over the years training their people and also they have heard about our religion , They have shown much respect I think it is because we have a martial code , sense of honour and strong personal ethics,
  2. mad dogs care not for own safety especially having been fed myths of hooran in jannat (God only knows what kind of heaven is that)
  3. If you look at the bridegroom he's desi and sir-mundia my suspicion is he is from Sikh background and this is the concession to Sikhi for family's sake ... but neither he nor his guests cover their heads so much beadbhi ... it is shameful ...
  4. Duniya vale Dad has his opinions that meet with his ideas of how the world works , but Guru Pita has given us the whole perspective for this world and the next . Given what I know about my situation I would have made sure that we were both full on gursikhs before Anand Karaj as it would have saved on so many instances of outside interference by inlaws and helped produce a united front to the outside world. To get married a lot of girls and boys say a lot of things they don't really feel deeply in their heart
  5. Veer ji, I waited , I broke up with him even on the say so of my parents, I told him I would never love him as much as my Guru, I laid it all out ,but his love of what made me ,me i.e. my sikhi was too strong. He approached my parents to ask for my hand and they laid down conditions, my Dad even consulted with Chardikala singhs in India , sant da bachan was my husband will becoe a gursikh thus I did have Anand Karaj and that was the only ceremony we had apart from civil wedding in Gurdwara Sahib same day, it was , is and will always be honoured by us both. Even so, I was so fearful of the possible beadbhi but we both gave our solemn promises to live our lives gurmat anusar and raise Gursikh children and we have never wavered from that , the guruvak from the wedding was " bure bhale hum thare" and that is how we feel . I know I am guilty of many things but I live in the hope that I can regain Guru ji's favour
  6. Veer ji I'm not being funny but they are all Hindu girls aren't there enough good sikh girls out there to choose from ? It's different if you said you wanted to be in a full on gursikh marriage to them and they agreed to become that but my own feeling is they wouldn't , but expect you to go through their rituals and culture , my friends (other mothers in neighbourhood) have done this and they are Gujrati married in Sikh households.
  7. true amrit after all is made by Panj piare, panj bania, and khanda ...kirpan di pahul is just part of janam sanskar
  8. Khande di pahul ... I never knew of kirpan di pahul until after the kids were grown..
  9. OK in my life something happened beyond my control which made me due for pesh ... so I wasn't doing beadbhi as I did ardas for resolution one way or the other and waited two years before Anand Karaj I entered Anand Karaj with full intention to live as a GurSikh, but as my husband hasn't got there yet I support him and my kids in their journey and do my best to progress also ,my faith in Guru ji is complete and I KNOW that special time will come in our lives soon.
  10. he's keshadhari hasn't had pahul I'm waiting for him but the kids have all had choola/pahul
  11. if we take hukam that without pahul/rehit binaa na sikh kaheva then most people have non-sikh inlaws/parents you cannot be sikh by just being born into a sikh household ...you have to make the step towards Guru ji yourself by give sir da bheta and taking pahul ...and living the life of a Gursikh ... Salok in Japji Sahib gives you balance in terms of viewing others ... Karmi apo apnee , ke nehrde ke door... even in Guru ji's ghar there are examples of that ... My inlaws are not of our culture, country or dharam but I don't hold it against them , I just stick to my lifestyle and asool in line with gurmat my household is a gursikh one. funny thing is they are getting exposure to gurbani from other quarters too , my bro in law came to me to ask the meaning of something ...the mool mantar ...apparently his yoga teacher in Brasil is using mool manter as a meditation before session . My cousins in law have been to the gurdwara in Sao Paulo.
  12. There are questions about the handling of the referendum count by the Russians and others as the goings on were not up to standards set by observing bodies ... I wouldn't put it past the Government to mess about ...as the tories have done questionable things in the past , manipulating postal votes, jerrymandering - it would serve their needs and the vote was so close . India doesn't want to learn ...they want to destroy and assimilate everyone thinking or behaving different to their ideology. I mean they are bullying and beating people who even suggest to help those in strife in Jammu and Kashmir ...there is no humanity there
  13. Then that's great because the couple will both be Sikhs and give each other sangat and support, it's not an ideal world anyway so I would expect that the in-laws views would be put on the backburner by the couple. Happened in my situation
  14. AGREED Guru ji didn't just leave hints how to make khalsa raj he gave Us three granths to make it so , and told us to do our works ourselves...so every1 is a warrior and a saint and the saviour of this world. GURU PANTH and GURU GRANTH make POORA GURU = AKAL PURAKH
  15. Guru Pita would only sanction Anand Karaj for gursikhs and only they can have anand karaj not anyone else ...so if Nihangs would marry it would be within rehit . Hindu bibis would have pahul and become gursikhs , if muslim bibis (never heard of this but possible) same . If you have Gursikh daughter why on Earth would you give her in marriage to those who do not keep the rehit ? and would also prevent her from being a gursikh in the fullest and possibly force her to make her children other than Gursikhs? A man should not marry out either , if he does he runs the risk of his progeny becoming nastik, or agnoist or even another faith. A mother is primary caregiver of a child and spends an extraordinary amount of time around her children colouring their worldview , if she is a good Gursikh then it is a positive for the future generations but if she has opposing views or is maya-driven the kids will suffer for it.The Hukam is explicit for females because at the time sikh people were in transition from families /clans of different faiths so may be tempted to appease elders by marrying daughters to people who were not Gursikhs (keeping them out of the crosshairs of the mughals). Today it is still important look for strong moral sikh character in your life partner if you want good, upstanding gursikhs in the future.
  16. And what exactly did these Christians do after the Romans relented, they allowed their granth and dharam to be violated with pagan beliefs and propagation of idol worship and then they started doing things the roman way i.e. put people to the sword and conversion....the oppressed became the oppressors again the Jews have done the same
  17. Think about it logically ...crowds of 80,000 and a big tent ...where would people be inspired ...why would people run away unless something scary happened , these are war-hardened people , standard response of Indians are to stand and stare (hard). I believe Guru ji took those heads and I believe he made the khalsa whole again in full view else why would the mohameddan spies report the same , no goats , no other room/hidden goings on ... Akal Purakh ne Khalsa sajjeiya apne hathi and that is what changed those hearts who were full of fear and hatred of Gursikhs. Aj kal school in UK thrown scorn on Panj piarey's bheta by saying it was just a trick that goats were sacrificed , my sons were livid hearing this and argued with the RE teacher ...who was an atheist anyways...My Guru ji is not a charlatan, trickster or liar he is Akal Purakh with all the cosmos in its control .
  18. No Problem , Veer/Bhaine ji just remember when someone pushes their agenda on you 1. what's in it for them 2. what's in it for them 3. what's in it for them .... in the case of palmistry /birthchart peeps they can control you and extort money.
  19. Then 35,000 woke up that day including Mughal spies who saw the whole thing and became khalsa ...in his last report there was NO tent. btw for the doubters
  20. I was saying the numbers of sikhs by the end of mughal era were 120,000...samaje bus itne seegee gal
  21. that's not true in the time of the mughals the sikh population was approx 120,000 in Vadda and chotta ghalugharey the Khalsa population was reduced by 70% remember that is men women and children. We are more than 15 million in India and estimates are around quarter to half million sikhs were killed during the eighties and nineties we can see it is not as drastic but it feels worse because there are so few khalsey at the starting point (5-10% estimates of total sikhs) and those who were killed were predominately amritdhari/keshadhri sikhs
  22. we have lost the bibek budhi that Guru ji blessed us with , that's why we trust people who we would normally know not to , listen to advice from people who know zilch about being a sikh and fail to recognise our true sikh family members. Not every sikh will look the same every dastaar is tied by a different soul , but the longing for nam and His kirpa is the same in every heart. I would not use the Jewish community as a exemplar , they are diminishing in numbers, they also have internal rifts but are very good at hiding it . Be glad who you are Waheguru doesn't make mistakes
  23. veer ji I meant the puranic/abharamic prophecies are bunk as opposed to the Khalsa raj
  24. Frankly , if we believe in Khalsa Raaj and halemi raaj then these prophecies are all bunkum ...because Khalsa di raaj will bring about a change surely and we have the maha mantra and mantra for this yug so can conquer it... or am I mistaken
