  1. Listen brother, You are who you are, you love Sikhism and don't want to change that, there are women out there who will love you for that. We all are different, just because women might not look at you the way they do to other guys doesn't make you any less of a man and if a woman thinks any less of you because you're a Sikh, let me tell you that woman is not worth your time. Don't let it effect your job or your faith you will find the right woman as long as you be patient. Focus on Waheguru above all else and the rest will fall into place. You say you're "mentally weak", well in life the hard and rough times make you mentally tough, we're not all born as mentally tough, it's the life Waheguru puts in front of us that makes us tough, makes us worthy to hold the name Singh because a Lion isn't called the king of the jungle for nothing. So at the end of the day have faith in Waheguru, love Waheguru and stay strong my brother. Peace
  2. This doesn't seem to be working out, marriages need love, it's what makes them work. In this day and age it's less frowned upon to leave a marriage and right now it seems even if you want to do right he isn't letting you. You need to do whats good for you, have faith in Waheguru, even if your husband doesn't let you develop your Sikhi find time and just close your eyes and concentrate on Waheguru's name. I believe everyone needs happiness in their lives, there is too much pain and sorrow in this world. There are organisations set up to help women in your situation but at the end of the day the decision is up to you, stay at a loved ones house until you figure out what to do. Peace
  3. we will be victorious, I have faith in Waheguru and the Guru's that our time will come to put an end to our persecution. WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH
  4. I very much doubt Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji was that height based on the weaponry he used, he would need to be taller. Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib is believed to be over 7 feet tall based on the sheer size of his chola he used.
  5. I think in areas where there is a hotter climate people seem to be larger in their physical appearance, maybe the vitamins from sunlight help growth and in the UK where there is little Sun and more a damp climate, the same nutrients aren't as easily obtained so we will seem shorter. I'm 5'11" so I'm not short or tall but I'm quite wide in shoulder width. It's a shame because in the Guru's time we were probably the most physically intimidating people around.
  6. exactly, in older times Sikhs used to work day and night and they were very physically strong so whatever they ate was either converted as energy or into muscle nowadays with technology there is little need for physical labour compared to before so when Indians eat food that is way more readily available, drink alchohol etc and do little exercise then we will seem less physically strong
  7. I'm up at around 3 or 4 a.m and listen to prayers from the Harmandir Sahib when they bring Guru Granth Sahib JI out, I try to do the Jaap Ji sahib etc and meditate upon Waheguru's name. I know it's not a lot at all but I'm slowly trying to get better and be able to do more prayer while I'm concentrated
  8. yeah that's true man, sometimes it's tough accepting the will of Waheguru because you feel cheated but you just gotta keep the faith
  9. When I've gone to see family friends or even gone to weddings, there is barely anyone who looks big in physical appearance, because I have to say hello to a lot of people at the weddings I can see a trend of everyone getting a beer belly. Our Indian culture has been diluted and is no where near the full wholesome one it once was.
  10. that's true, anything worth obtaining isn't easy I suppose wow, I could make an evening watching those Sikh videos! thanks man!
  11. I've taken a quick look at a couple, going to look at them properly later, thanks a lot for your help man, in depth explanations hopefully I'll be able to get my mind set now. Peace brother
  12. True, and I do trust it but maybe not to an extent as other devout Sikhs, it's a process man I'm trying
  13. Hi, I've been a Sikh since I was born and I've never been a baptised Sikh (wear turban etc), I guess that means I'm not actually a Sikh per say. I pray and try to become closer to God but I've never been able to make the decision to be a baptised Sikh for various reasons. Will I ever have a hope of becoming closer to God like this? I've got a lot of pain going on right now and I'm hoping God will help me out. My Karma may be bad because I've been hitting rock bottom for a few years now and I can't seem to get out of this bad section of my life but I see people who are very cruel and barely do any good in this world and they have a comfortable life. I'm really confused as to how to stop the pain and sorrow in my life but I'm not sure Waheguru will accept my asking unless I become a proper Sikh.
  14. Ooh! I'm still amazed at the linguistic beauty of the Guru Granth Sahib, quotes like this can make me sit back and think about them for ages haha, thank you again!
  15. I've played Rugby for years and been one of the bigger guys amongst my whole team, my job was to break the opposition's defensive line, basically I was the battering ram. I don't think we're physically inferior to any other race. In the times of the Guru's, Sikhs were huge, very physically strong soldiers. Look at this page: http://exiledonline.com/war-nerd-classic-in-praise-of-sikhs-the-coolest-warrior-tribe-around/ Here is a quote from down the page: (censoring the profanity) "I’ve read Brit officers’ accounts of that battle, and they say something you get in all accounts of the Sikh: how big and strong the **stards are. The Brits said they felt like children beside the Sikh horsemen, and there’s really funny picture of a white officer surrounded by Sikh soldiers, looking like a pasty little midget with his bodyguards." There are physically strong Sikhs out there but not as many as before.
  16. Waheguru has allowed these distractions into the world so people will in time realise his true grace and power. Using drugs will only pollute and distort their minds eventually, they will be left wondering about their lives amongst a cloud of addiction and depression. In this time they will look for a higher power to help them. If we all were born with God's name in our minds and lived with no mistakes, what would be the point of life? It is through these hard and tough times we truly realise the love of Waheguru and what is real and fake in this world, the only things that are real are Waheguru and his prayers. I am totally against drugs and understand their harm but at the end of the day, we cannot stop it entirely. Only prayer to Waheguru will help these people. God help the world please. Peace
  17. thank you! that quote really is inspiring thanks a lot! it is very tough, the mind can be seen as a muscle and we need to train it, work it out continually and only then can it be strong enough to hold God's grace, it's making sense now When I first started doing more prayer I felt content but when I did more my mind just became filled with distractions, I think it's a test so we can really control ourselves. What you said is true, thanks!
  18. When I try to meditate and pray, my mind most of the time wanders off and thinks about other things, even when I really try to concentrate I find myself thinking about God and other things at the same time. How do you fully concentrate when praying?
  19. How does karma effect the pain we will go through in our lifetimes? If one experiences a lot of physical pain and emotional pain in their lives does that mean that they have a lot of bad karma?

    Suicide !

    Suicide is a dark place, I've been through a lot of pain in my life and I always ask God why, why me but at the end of the day suicide is a cheap way out, instead of leaving this world in a mind set of anger and regret do things you've always wanted to, explore and live life. Just remember God's name and Waheguru will get you through it. Everything happens for a reason. Peace
  21. thank you for your post! very detailed! I think I understand now, I didn't realise Karma was so deep, I thought of it as a broad spectrum of good/bad deeds.
  22. I didn't watch the video but I understand the general idea of what went on. In the UK there are people whom value Sikhs and recognise us apart from other religions. We fought in the world wars for Britain and have earned 14 victoria crosses up to 1945, a per capita record ( if I remember correctly). The EDL recognises Sikhs and values us and even UKIP did, they gave a standing applause when a Sikh member of their party came to speak. I know this isn't much compared to what we may get treated and seen as in public but stand up for yourself. Don't cause any uneccesary trouble but if someone is going to come and try to intimidate or physically harm me based on my religion, I know what I would do, I got two fists waiting for them. I'm not a baptised Sikh but often wear my Kara and people can guess it anyway. Peace people
  23. Well the world is a very evil and corrupt place mostly and I think we need a new age to begin. I'm not a perfect Sikh, I've been recently becoming closer to God, I haven't been baptised or wear a turban but its a gradual process I suppose. God is the only being we need to be worried about, he is the one we need to become closer to and show how much we love him. Earth is a temporary place don't become attached, the true beauty is located beyond this world. peace
