    No, but my nani was amritdhari and she even used to see baba with her own eyes. My mama back in the 70s used to see him too. When my mama used to do the farming and used to get tierd, baba actually used to lend his strength! My mama said there was so much strength and energy. But then soon after my mama got married he started drinking and then he never saw baba again... Stupid of my mama to start drinking

    I could tell more stories about the shrine at my nanke but the stories will be so unreal no one will believe me haha! But the shrine at my dadke, the baba has never appeared front of anyone or ever troubled anyone

    Iv never heard that before! But these shrines do demand things. For example every visakhi my nanke keep path and do langar at the family shrine, the langar has to be served to 5 amritdhari sikhs (or more) but other people can join too as long as there are singhs present too. but last year my nana forgot to organize path and langar at our shrine and he started seeing small snakes everywhere in his house! He would ring my mum up, we Iive in the UK, and tell her how there are snakes everywhere in the house, baby ones . He even got a man to come in and put snake killing tablets in the house it didn't work my nana then hired a snake catcher, but after he caught them and went more snakes appeared . My mum and her brothers who all live abroad got really worried but then my mum remembered that maybe on visakhi my nana forgot to keep path and langar at the jaggah and it turned out he did forget! Once he organized the path and langar the baby snakes disappeared! I know this sounds crazy but it's true lol It really confuses me though ...

    I just remembered, there used to be this pakistani lady who used to live opposite our house, she was from near Nankana sahib. and she once told us how, there is a ghost of a singh and he does path under the tree in pakistan in her village. men and boys without knowing used to stand by that tree and urinate but then they used to faint! then the singh started appearing before some of the village boys and said to them not to urinate under the tree as he sits there and does path, and she said since then people only sit under the tree. she told us that the sikhs who died during 1947 are still roaming around in the villages in pakistan ...

    yes they are very real, like i previously commented, the baba from my nanke side who the shrine is made for has even appeared before my nani and is a Singh, but i don't understand why he is on earth! i thought people leave this earth when they die. maybe they visit the earth. You hear loads of stories about these "jaggahs" and how they start interacting with family members.

    puzzled replied to a topic in GUPT FORUM

    Sikhs and punjabi Hindus get on well in the uk because of the same culture, not so much with Hindus from other parts of India as the culture is very different. Some sikhs get on well with muslims but in general You won't see many sikhs and Muslims socializing.

    I don't really listen to Punjabi music tbh I like sme of diljits songs. Some Punjabi films are good though rabb da radio was nice

    Iv been to places like una, hamirpur They look similar to punjabis but on average are taller and have sharper features. Some of them looked like Kashmiris. I remember telling my cousin how good looking these people are and she said it's because they are pahari people and live in a colder climate. Haryanvis look similar to punjabis but some are a little darker
  11. puzzled
    Iv been himachal Pradesh, people there were better looking on average. The girls there were very pretty. They also looked clean and like they had a wash. The actual state itself was much cleaner looking than punjab, much less litter on the streets people looked more cleaner too but I think that's to do with the climate I'm himachal

    It's clearly a practice which jatts were doing before they were included within the fold of sikhi, and I guess they just continued doing it ...
  13. puzzled
    A lot of jatts have ancestral shrines in their fields by the khoo , some have them built in the corner outside their house but mostly in the fields. So at night that why you might see divas in the fields. My cousins go there everyday and light a diva but at special occasions they get sikhs and other locals to sit there and prepare langar for them. They even keep akand paths there. But yeah ...
  14. puzzled
    Yes I am jatt. Yeah it's my ancestors shrine and my family in India visit it everyday. They also go there before weddings and akand paths. Also during visakhi before they start planting crops they get 5 amritdhari sikhs to sit there and other sangat and prepare langar for them, my family does that. Iv done langar sewa for the 5 sikhs and sangat at my ancestors shrine. My nanke do the same. The ancestor that the shrine at my nanke is for used to appear in front of my nani! My nani was amritdhari and she used to tell us how baba used to visit! She used to say that he's a singh and is wearing white chola white dastar and has a long white dhari he also has lots if bright light around him. When my nani was close to her death he started appearing more often before her. He's like my 5× great grand father. When ever my nanke used to have akand path at their home some of the granthis used to say how baba was sitting in the corner and listening to the path too and then he would disappear into thin air. Sadly my nani was the only amritdhari in the family no one else has seen baba.

    in the old days it was mostly names like daya singh, dyal singh, gurdev singh, kishan singh, etc later on it became names like sandeep, mandeep, jaspreet etc arabic influenced names have never been as common as these indian names. my great grandfathers name was ram rakha lol

    I don't understand why some "sikhs" look down at the illegal immigrants from Punjab, bachare have only come here to work like our parents did once! if it wasn't for them then there would be far less Sikhs in the multicultural towns of the UK. and they do a lot of seva at gurdwareh too
  17. puzzled
    i think the main problem is that there is no town in the UK where Sikhs are the majority, apart from southall, but even southall is flooded with Somalians now. Even the town that im from if it wasn't for the illegal punjabi immigrants then the punjabi presence wouldn't be as strong

    HAHA! the tiger costume! let your mum do the hindu stuff and you concentrate on Sikhi, if she does puja then you do simran. luckily i don't come from a hindu-fyed family. In my entire life my family have gone mandir probably like 5 or 6 times lol. we dont have idols and have never celebrated any hindu festivals. We used to do rakhri but i stopped taking part a couple of years back as i find it embarrassing to have colorful threads around my wrists, its not really my thing! my mum has stopped sending rakhri to her brothers too because she said she can't be asked anymore haha! which is brilliant. The only odd thing my family does is that we have a "khoo di jagga" in india lol. its one of our ancestors tomb/samadh and my family believe in it, my nanke have their own while my dads side have their own. When i go india i go to our jaggah as well lol we just bow down to it. But its weird when you go to some Sikhs house and you see images of mata and baba balak nath etc
  19. puzzled
    Because that's how it has always been! very rarely have Sikhs used Muslim names.
  20. puzzled
    Those names just sound weird! Imagine being called Abdullah Singh haha! Hari Singh, Arjun Singh, Tegh Singh etc sound a lot better

    I think hinduism was once a great religion but today has been reduced to pouring milk over idols. I think brahmins began the downfall, they spread superstitions which created fear in people, fear traps and enslaves people and thats what the brahmins wanted. They placed the caste system to secure their place at the top and to keep every one under them and in their place. they enslaved Indian society and did not let is prosper, the caste system was designed and practiced in a way where only the bramins would gain. I read somewhere that it was brahmins that spread idols, idols create superstitions. If hindus actually followed texts like the upanishads or the geeta and not the idols and rituals then hinduism wouldn't actually be the mess that it is today.

    Yeah a shivling basically represents shivas private parts while the thing that the shivling is placed on, it begins with a Y i think represents parvatis private bits lol!
  23. puzzled
    yeah he did change his form to look like the rishi, but the rishis wife knew it was indra but didn't say anything and still did it, thats what it said in the ramayan i read ...
  24. puzzled
    I dont understand why hindus worship these people because the hindu texts themselves talk about their faults and imperfections! why worship something that isn't perfect and egotistical. I remember reading how when shiv and parvati were getting married, bhrama, who was conducting the ceremony got a little too happy when he saw parvati and ended up leaking his seed! and then when shiva and parvati were making love on mount kalash after getting married, they kept on doing it for 100s of years non stop, and it reached the point where the demons started taking over the earth and spreading evil so all the demi gods had to tell shiva to stop doing it with parvati and reminded him of his duty and told him to stop the demons from taking over the earth. Thats how distracted shiva got with his new wife and lust that he forgot his duty and let the demons take over. then why worship shiv!

    I remember reading about indra sleeping with a rishis wife in the ramayan. it wasn't rape because she was after it as well lol! and just when indra finished and was leaving the rishis house the rish walked in and saw indra leaving. the rishi then cursed indra and indra's man bits were turned into 100 lady bits! he was humiliated and begged for forgiveness. the rishi cursed his wife too and she became a pillar of salt i think, rama then came 1000s of years later and broke the curse and she was human again and asked for liberation and was liberated by ram.
