Regardless, the Benti Chaupai and Arril is the same everywhere, it's only long chaupai portions of Rehras which differ with sampradaiye. It is miscreants in the panth which have shortened the benti chaupai section for their own goals!

I sometimes go to the Ramgharia Gurdwara in Slough, they have a statue of Jassa Singh Ramgharia, however I haven't felt any Ramgharia misl vibes from these gurdwaras yet, and instead feel more Kenya Singhs vibes... I see actual bana wearing Singhs including Nihangs in the Slough Singh Sabha gurdwara, I don't usually see anything similar in the misl named gurdwara with the misldaar statue.... I understand that to stand in the Ramgharia gurdwara committees you have to be from Tarkhan background, but would it not make more sense for them to be from Ramghria misl background?

I think there should be a free tier and also a paid tier for those that are more serious. IF it is all paid for, then many people will not bother. At the moment near me there is a Sunday punjabi school in Slough. However many parents will either not bother or will not know about this and other punjabi schools in the area. Some may not have the transport. Those lucky enough to get into the sikh schools don't need to go either. It would really be a good idea to somewhat collaborate with the sunday punjabi schools nationally, to sync with their syllabuses. Would also be nice to get the strength of the sikh schools as well.

I mean Ravi Ranjan Singh is campaigning for traditions that made the khalsa strong and warrior like, practises which neo sikh committee buffoons got rid off when they took over Akali Bunga Takht

He was also a British stooge. Gained the title Babu Teja Singh from his work fixing some nuts on I think it was train railways for the goray. I think the "abhilakhee" lot bibis do all wear keskis though, he was never an Akali Bunga Takht Sarabrah /jathedaar however himself or his students do use the abhilakhee word a lot as well as overuse of the gursikh term. Bhasauria and the influence of his students/cheley did manage to change Benti Chaupai to skip 'kripa kar har jagmata' from Benti Chaupai and completely exlude Arril; and this carried over to the SGPC Akal Takht rehat maryada! Remember this was a period when a sikh organisation could hide behind women to remove Khalsa leaders from Akali Bunga, such as what happened with Budha Dal chief Baba Sahib Singh Kaladhari. Haven't won yet, through his influence Benti Chaupai is still read in a cut corrupt form: 'kripa kar har jagmata' is skipped from Benti Chaupai and Arril is completely excluded, so many gutkas have been published this way because of people like him. Teja and his student who was granthi at Harimandir Sahib, they both managed to forcefully change the Benti Chaupai to this at Harimandir Sahib as well. Kept adding their own corrupt men into the sangat until whole sangat submitted to their will to commit the Benti Chaupai beadbi which carries onto this day. ...still not won, need to do more. Yeh he used to do keertan of Dasam bani and then he just switched. Kala Afghana has similar view to Teja Sing B.

Teja Singh Bhasauria used to force girls in his school to wear keski.... Teja Singh Bhasauria also got excommunicated from the sikh panth....

I think this is called panj ishnan

I am sure sikhni and Singhni is used by puraatan sikhs. I think I have actually heard this term used in bani Never heard Kaur used by Puraatan Singhs....

yes honsla rakh song with Sonam Bajwa, and also the credits song with the main character's wife and ex wife.

is it possible for you to just tell his manager the complaint, since you already know him? to take the bad influences out of family movies, to keep them more sanskari and respectable? To go just a little extra mile?

I am confused, are you talking about Ravi Ranjan Singh who is mentioned in the article, or Ravi Singh Khalsa Aid?

I have seen portraits of puraatan Singhns though, there's no obvious distaar. I think it used to be a mixture of Singhnis wearing distaar or chunni or some other head covering. Things have changed now where some amrit-dhari bibis leave their head naked.

yes, there is maryada of there just being a shastar to matha tek, as was done for the gurdwara created by puraatan Singhs at Sirhind in memory of the 2 younger sahibzadas. There were instances when such as the one I mentioned where a gurdwara did not have a sikh to manage it, and there just weren't enough Granth sahib saroop for every smaller gurdwara, and of course they were all hand written. Obviously, this also changes how Anand Karaj would be done as opposed to modern times...

Puraatan sikhs would probably be surprised to see that their is a saroop of Guru Granth Sahib in the majority of gurdwaras, as those sikhs came from a pre-printing press era. They will find the saroops strange due to not being larrivaar (ie nowadays we have spaced out words) Also they would hear a strange sound coming with keertan due to the harmonium, which would look and sound really strange to them. Probably also be shocked at how many sikhs uncover their head outside gurdwara, and how many have haircuts etc.... dil saaf hona chahida?? no need for tattoos when we have kesh bros

lol what the.... ?

it's also confusing. Without a photo, when someone uses Singh or Kaur without a photo, it gives the image of someone who is into sikhi prinicples and therefore forgoes the surname. In the case of Singh you usually have an image of a man wearing a turban. In these cases, I am all for them using alternative surnames. Also when someone does something wrong while using Singh/Kaur surname, it still tarnishes the image of sikh community.

city sikhs are a bunch of jokers. The original people aren't even shown on the site anymore: Our People | City Sikhs Param Singh, I think he was one of the founders, he's a proper joker. Seemed like people willing to make money and fame but selling sikh principles down the drain to get these.

it's similar, but the fact people like these still call each other as boyfriend-girlfriend still doesn't show the same level of respect. I have seen some people use titles such as partner or significant-other to make their partnerships seem more respectable.

you should see Diljit's early songs, the girls dressed just as bad, or probably worse. On Friday I actually watched his new movie called Honsla Rakh, a good and funny movie. However, for some of the songs they make Sonam Bajwa get adi nangi half naked kapre. And to be honest there is no need, they just do it for the sake of it. They could easily just lengthen the clothes to make them more respectable, but jaloos. kadna honda!! Someone really needs Diljit to banda banja. I mean I know it's the movie directors and producers who do this, but Diljit is a big enough actor now to influence this. I thought we punjabis had enough discussions for this not to happen, yet they still do it in family punjabi movies?!! Yes, I do not think desi communities in general were prepared for waiting for partners, not even upto 20s really. The parens thought kids need education, but forget that there's a thing called puberty which happens in the teens, and which the old teen marriages helped control. After all, for a sikh it's important to control kaam krodh lob moh hunkaar, the 5 panj chor/ vikaar. And how Guru Nanak emphasises grihast jeevan. it doesn't help that the body requires a replacement to the partner that marriage would originally bring. So some desis "get-with" someone but then it doesn't work out after a year or many years and they split up. And going through these broken partnerships they end up getting old without a proper life partner. And also these just break them and make them even less suitable for marriage than when they were teens, not just because of the excess baggage but because of the fact that they're in a habit of being in these casual partnerships and will probably mess up a marriage/life partnership - hence the increase in divorces. During my uni career, I saw married muslim couples studying at uk universities. I am sure our community could make it work, with married people going to unis. I mean people have girlfriend-boyfriend in unis anyway, so proper partners can also work with education. Just need both parents to support these endeavours.

It's good to respect Sant ji, however Sants and bhai sahibs aren't Guru ji, so we don't have to follow them 100%. Remember that he is not part of the sampradaiye associated with kripaan pahul either, and more with Nirmala like deras associated with santhiya and learning bani etc. Even the Guru's children made mistakes. So anything that is not said from Guru ji, then we have to understand that any sikh can make mistakes. Also remember that he is I have been reading stuff that maybe kripaan Pahul was available during Guru Gobind Singhs' times, I will have to look back and find my sources. these people aren't even life partners, yet they take even these illegitimate temporary k-u-t-t-a dating "partnerships" so seriously when it comes to cheating?

still not enough for me to bother to watch eastenders

I think Hajoor Sahib Singhs practised kripaan Pahul so that the local hindu women they married could partake food from them. another thing I heard of is called choola, so that wife and children can share food.

if boy has never had a partner, than it's much better to get a girl without any exes too. Trust me, a girl with ex partners can screw your life up, regardless of if she is virgin or not.

but all your previous comments I have seen point to a superiority complex towards jatts. I have seen inferiority complexes in kenya sikh getting upset about castes. I am unsure if this happens as much in indian tarkhan sikhs. I have seen other inferiority complexes, but to lesser levels. The worst thing is seeing inferiority complexes in some people for being mona, and others for keeping turban, yet I have also seen superiority complexes as well in other monay and turban wearers. Regardless we should have maan for wearing turban of Guru sahibs.

eww, I don't see the status in marrying a gori. I see so many punjab girls trying to behave like goris, such as drinking, making boyfriends, putting nangi pics on insta/fb .... I don't understand the status in marrying people who behave like bhukh/nang mentality! ?
