Isn't half an hour too long? Why not just 5-10 minutes, and then move onto Re? I think when I used to learn with Raj Academy we used to do each one for a few minutes.

Neighing and braying, I think that noise is quite regular and normal at some rainsabai/rehnsbai smagams to be honest!!!! If you don't believe me just check out some Youtube and Soundcloud tracks! ?

if you are using harmonium, then I recommend stop using harmonium and start using authentic sikh string instruments such as Rabab, Saranda, Dilruba, Saranghi, Taus etc. The string instrument will help improve your voice.

I saw a video or photo with Singhs in Canada who use Sarbloh, but they don't call it Sarbloh bibek as the water is not from a well. I can't find the source anymore, and I can't remember what kind of bibek they called it.

you do know you will have to get water from a well if you start following full Sarbloh bibek rehit? Still it's good to use Sarbloh utensils regardless!!

you need to put your phone in airplane mode you seriously don't want that radiation overnight time. I usually listen to Keertan Sohila on my phone, but always on airplane mode. The music files are downloaded offline.

wow this is before Salman started his gym workout. Looked very uninteresting back then!

What kind of society? Well it's the society of the age of Kaljug/Kaliyuga, if you didn't already know?! ?

it's a good time to learn cooking since everyone is on lockdown....

@Guest Jigsaw_Puzzled by the way, since you are a write, you definitely need to start posting your stuff on sikh Subreddit. You will get more exposure to sangat on there as opposed to this forum. It's a site much better suited to writers. And it's for more intellectual people compared to the Facebooks and Twitters, lol nevermind Instagram. many knowledgeable sikhs on there!

I think sikhs need to start a self sufficient lifestyle, instead of relying on the economy for food. If we're growing our own food instead of working 8 or more hours a day to be able to buy food then we can improve our sikhi, I am sure! Also theres a Facebook page run by some Birmingham East Africa sikh Nihangs who also promote growing onw food and post lots of photos from their alotments and organic sabjis. Oh yes there Facebook is called Khalsa ethics. Please post your blog!

nice

I would straight up tell women they're being sexist, same goes dor any woman that tells us to shave/trim our beards

you should write a blog post or whatever social thing people do these days.

yes for sikhi, it's more about equity than equality. however, for freemasons, I don't see the need to exclude women.

please use smartphone apps and Youtube videos to assist with this

if sikh community could in uk could promote jhatka and shikaar instead of going to the shops, we could avoid so much of this. Just last century pre-partition, Singhs in punjab did jhatka, even doing it behind doors in areas where muslims had banned it. It is so unfortunate that these baba cults and jathas have put us in the mentality to either be veggie or eat meat from anywhere, and also not to bother carry an shastar beside a kirpan, it's so sad to lose Khalsa rehit like this. As soon as a sikhs listen to katha such as Suraj Prakash, they will understand the maryada they have lost and need to bring back to Khalsa!

we will only be feared when we follow rehit again. at least follow the shastar rehit, obviously there's still too many manmattis doing nindya of Singhs doing jhatka and shikaar. do more sangat of Singhs who preserve Guru Gobind Singhs' bani, such as reading Benti Chaupai as shudh, instead of skipping a few lines like a hinduphobic. Also other ways such as reading Guru Gobind Singh bani in Aarti Aarta, reading more dasam bani in nitnem, reading Ugardanti in nitnem even though the hinduphobics removed this bani from Dasam Granth prints. With this mentality, getting bir rass, people will fear us. We have to collectively make an effort. Forget the SGPC, us sikhs in places like UK can propogate maryada, we have enough knowledge to stop the elders talking down to us from the sant babas and jathebandis which have corrupted them against gurmat.

There was an uncle I worked with, he told me how when he came to England he used to get beaten up at school by goray. Then the bigger apney would come around and beat up the goray. Things were so bad he had to remove his kesh. You can hear similar stories from the Kohli documentary,

it's a shame Afghanistan didn't let them carry on their life over there. Just recently read some horrible stuff happening to sikhs in Afghanistan right now!

the Meat is sacred, in other words it's Mahaprashad. (Just like the rehitee Singhs have) very true. Same with Singhs who follow the Kshatri maryada. he is known as Sadhguru for the sect or sampradaiye which follows him. Same as Bhagat Ravidas being a Guru for his followers. You cannot ban the use of Guru when not used in a sikhi context! Ram would have hunted the deer in this case, which is even better maryada for a Singh than a Singh who can only do jhatka. I think we need to explain to Singhs in the context of shikaar (and the Guru ji maryada on this), and like you said we need to explain not to eat khulla maas (ie from shops etc). However we need to make jhatka maryada and shikar more accessible to Singhs in the sikh community here, so we can follow proper Khalsa traditions and rehit. It is the nindaks of rehit, manmattis who have been keeping sikhs away from this kind of maryada since the last century.

even worse in Canada, over there I think it's more than some that are doing this...

hanjee it does. because this gives clues in how to avoid the virus, or to help incoulate/vaccinate. It's always good to go to the source and history of something to find something out. They will eat anything, they are far from the concept of jhatka. Cooking animals alive, and eating them raw, and even when alive! No daya at all. It's even less hygienic than India over there.

also In Asa Di Vaar, Guru Nanak talks about Brahmins eating abakhya ka kuttha (halal) from the Malesh, whilst they did pakhand about impurity.

many Singhs follow a rehit of combing twice a day. How would that work with beard combing? I guess they comb the 2nd time in the evening at home?
