I meet people in my dreams that I seem to know really well, but when I wake up I do not seem to recognise them at all.

lol Bhai Khaniye. There is actually a Sewapanthi sampradaiye started from Bhai Khania in sikh panth as well. They don't get much exposure in mainstream sikhs these days.

we do need to know how to somewhat judge ourselves. With bad judgement our community will keep making bad decisions.

they don't? maybe it's for visa purposes?

maybe we need to start planting stuff in gardens and allotments, need to rely less on supermarkets.

don't marry anyone who has had ex partners, regardless of virgin or not. Just don't wait too long to get married, otherwise you will not get anyone suitable for grihast life.

she doesn't have a child, so she is being romantic and worrying about you, wants you to be a well-fed, strong male. She needs a child, then she will feed the child instead of you!! ?

In Slough? That gurdwara is run by PKMC Prabh Milan Ka Chao. But I guess most of the sangat is Afghan, and therefore they have influence there?

no tanti saaj used at all. no gurmat sangeet. in fact if they probably invited some hindus or someone from the university hindu societies, they would have done a better job reading bani in bhajan form than these jathebandi pakhandis did, it was Nishaan Guru Nanak gurpurb commemoration after all, and a lot of Hindu Punjabis celebrate this gurpurb as well... End of 2018 and the London sikh societies are still doing this beadbi, what are we supposed to do? I think BOSS and Nishaan should get urgent assistance from RAJ Academy and Baru Sahib before arranging any keertan darbar again. After all these are supposed to be students studying degrees, and instead they are encouraging such major ignorance for major student keertan programme events? What a great disappointment!

if we can kiss in public, then why are some sikhs considering charitropakhyan as not bani. these same sikhs watch gandh in eastenders and soap operas as well

I went to a Nishaan keertan darbar at Brunel University a few weeks ago commemorating Guru Nanak's Gurpurb First I was excited that there were keertanis from different universities coming. However, most of the event was this midnight jathebandi rehnsbai stuff, just horrible, I just do not consider it keertan The keertani destroyed Rehraas and the Guru's hukam of each raag. Then the next day I went onto Connect2Sikhi Soundcloud and saw that most of the recent London uni darbars were all this pakhand stuff as well. I spoke to some sikhs and they had no idea this kind of keertan isn't normal, nevermind not being close to Guru hukam of raag. Look, it's nearly 2020, what is this nonsense in London sikh societies? It's like these jathebandis are still controlling them. and this event wasn't even BOSS, it was Nishaan! I remember how BOSS used to be controlled by certain jathebandis,! EDIT: worst thing is, this was meant to commemorate guru Nanak gurpurb, and this keertan was far from respectable from the keertan maryada set by Guru Nanak and Bhai Mardana playing Rabab

Aren't we supposed to control kaam, isn't that out of control?

of course it matters between hindu matt and hinduism. Again when Guru ji talks about hindus, he could be saying it in a cultural way as well. As in hindus practiced stone worship as cultural and folk traditions way etc Such as many punjabi sikhs practice punjabi traditions, it doesn't make it a matt, more of a culture. We must must must get out of this gora mentality before looking at terms such as hindu and hinduism. The Gurus bani is in dharmik framework, not gora or middle eastern abrahamic framework!

The term hinduism implies a colonial era religion. There is only dharma. Hinduism as a religion was non existent before goras arrived. First look at sikhs and hindus in a dharmik context before using unreliable terms and definitions such as hinduism. It's even correct to call sikhi as sikhism. There are many hindu panths. In Gurus' times, hindu referred to geographical populations of Bharat and people following bharat culture. However goras changed meaning of hindu to refer to a religion. This is what makes it difficult to answer this question.... Although many modern sikhs have become allergic to the term hindu themselves. I do not deny sikhi being part of dharma and following both nirguna and sarguna saroop. However, to conclude, the term hinduism lacks logic and should never be used to refer to dharma or sanatan dharma.

how did sikhs marry when there was no printing press for Adi Guru Granth Sahib? What alternatives were used when no saroop was available?

lol trying amrit dharis to do jhatka and shikaar. First modern amrit dharis need to follow shastar maryada, ie learn shastar. They can't even do that, and we expect them to then do jhtka... very maryada-less amrit dharis we have today. They think doing paat alone is enough, they should understand they are not sehajdharis, and understand they are not taking charan amrit but pahul from khanda!

believe it or not, puraatan Singhs had multiple wives. Bhai Mani Singh had 2 wives and many shaheed sons. Would be good if gurdwaras could arrange proper shastarvidiya or martial arts as opposed to gatka dance stuff. Also need to arrange archery and gun target shooting ranges.

lol admin someone is starting meat topic again.... I thought we are not allowed to mention it on this site?

@mahandulai You should post on sikhi Reddit, you will get more learned answers!

And then there's also panj piarey who will recommend shikaar and jhatka as guru's rehat, not just allowing jhatka as a way of eating meat. There's a uk nihang Singh I know who took amrit at I think Baba Bakala Dal (I am not 100% sure). Before he was allowed to take amrit he he had to do jhatka of rabbit. He is the son of a late Nihang Singh of Harianvela.

IT's not just Dalip Singh that don't follow gurmat, it's modern sikhs as well ... Neither am I perfect ?

so was there action taken?

I also think there should archery ranges and gun shooting ranges in gurdwaras, seriously, especially in big gurdwaras. Also wrestling / mal yudh is important to be taught as well, a tradition since Guru Angad Dev ji. Wrestling combined with weapons shastar vidiya is a good overall martial artist. Almost perfect. Need raag keertan according to gurmat. Also need proper weapons training instead of the morris dancing they were doing in the background near the end of the video.

I am not that into cars, but that's not the point. gupt section is not for topics like these...
