Vaheguru ji ka khalsa Vaheguru ji ki Fateh 

I would like to walk from ludhiana to darbar sahib which is roughly 142 kms and want to finish the yatra in a few days. How can i prepare for such a long walk? I still have a month to prepare as i am going in mid November. My route would be from ludhiana to jalhandar,jalhandar to amritsar. Trying to do this in two days. I could also do ludhiana to jalhandar,jalhandar to goindwal sahib, and goindwal sahib to anritsar. These could be my possible routes.

That’s amazing sewa. Drink plenty of water on the journey. In the olden days people travelled for long distances by foot.

The reason why Christianity and Islam has high numbers is due to their missionary work. Without it they would be small religions to. Also they invaded countries and brough their religion with them. We need start preaching about our faith more. It needs a world wide effort. Huge scale funding and resources need to go into it. 

Give it some time. Christianity has been around for 2000 years. Sikhism is a new faith been around for 500 years. Maybe eventually it will overtake Christianity. Islam is also outdated.

Sikhi has more converts? Do you have a source to back this up? Thanks

Sorry i maybe wrong.

Sikhism is now a global faith with 25 million followers worldwide. Tell your non-Sikh friends about Sikhism. Invite them to a Gurdwara. The whole Guru Granth Sahib can be read online www.srigranth.org. Books about Sikhism can be read at the library and westerners have done a lot of research on Sikhism.

As for Islam they have high birth rates but Sikhism has more converts.

May look like a lot, but like the o.p said they're small clusters. Whereas in the UK, Sikhs have actually large communities in the London and Birmingham area. A lot more prominent. 

Most Punjabis in California drive tractors/trucks and work in farms which is exactly what they do in Punjab. It's much easier to settle down in America than the UK because the whole family plus close relatives can get a green card.

California has a decent presence of Sikhs in most bigger cities (Los Angeles, San Francisco) and across the Central valley (from Sacramento to Fresno to Bakersfield).  New Jersey - city of Carteret and surrounding areas.  Richmond Hill in Queens, NY has probably the highest density of Sikhs in the U.S. 

Smaller clusters are in  Seattle, Dallas/Houston, Indiana, Chicago, Atlanta, maybe Michigan.  Western Sikhs have center in New Mexico, but also in Los Angeles.  Mid West and other lesser populated areas are much less likely.

Wow that's more areas than the UK. America is a big country. I have relatives in California.

Where in America are there Sikh areas, if any? There's Surrey in Canada which I know about.

I don't follow any jathebandi. But i do like 17 Nanaksar Gurdwara built by Baba Gurdev Singh. I enjoy listening to AKJ kirtan. I practice reading Gurbani according to the Taksal. I believe in Dasam Granth like the Nihangs.

I took holy Amrit several years ago. First i practiced 5 bani i.e japji, Jaap, swayae,  chaupai and anand. And rehras, sohila. Then i practised sukhmani along with Nitnem.

Then i read the whole of Guru Granth Sahib. This was awesome experience.

Most males in the UK were circumcised until the 1940s then the practice died out.

Next time choose Air India and it flies non-stop from UK to Canada. British Airways is mostly used by white people.

The Arti is a wonderful composition.

Like the us, uk and australia, it is a 'melting pot' of immigrants from across the world. Those people worked hard to build a better life for themselves and their efforts strengthened the economy to what it is today. Why ignore their contribution? Both the country and economy would be different without them. Don't just praise the goreh.

At least the British let us wear turbans in schools, work places etc. The French are mega racist. By the way we should not give a White people so much attention because they love it.

Right...there are no ghettos in London? There are plenty. Remember where the 2011 riots started?

Sorry I forgot about the riots.

Best option for what? Job wise it probably is, but too much congestion and pollution compared to West Midlands. There’s some nice places around, whereas as London is all go, go, go. No neighbourhood environment in the capital. 

Yes you're right. I was talking about job wise. London is the financial centre.

Exactly.

One example is Tommy Robinson, a 'former' white supremacist, and Holly Henderson, a 'former' prostitute/escort girl. They showed sympathy for Sikhs when Muslims targeted girls from our community for decades but when the same happened to white girls then they suddenly develop an interest, fear and hatred of Islam. They have began to associate themselves with organisations like Sikh Youth UK and have the cheek to use our history of martyrs to support their argument and gain a bigger voice against Islam. I think they are,also, using Sikhs to appear tolerant and appreciative of foreigners who are non-Muslim and against Islam just to incite Islamophobia, as you rightly say.

The goreh always have and will always be the masters of covert grooming. History tells us about their sly methods so that cannot be doubted by anyone. Unfortunately, most of our community are blind to this and only see the overt/physical grooming by muslims. They have allowed the white devil to succeed in achieving their main purpose against Sikhs which was to weaken the psyche and relationship of Sikhs with Guru Sahib ji. Despite leaving Panjab more than 70 years ago, they are still winning and we are still losing.

I assume you live in a White country.

I have seen so many sissy boys say the same thing. Running off to canada like some poodles. Stay in the uk and be proud of who you are. Stop running as you can run but you cant hide forever!

Living in the capital London is the best option in the UK. Where I live Birmingham it is one big ghetto.

Bad idea. I would get out of the UK while you can. 

 

I can see this storm coming. Canada is a much better option.

The key question is how do we do it? We should have a tons more followers then we do at the moment as Sikhism is a very attractive and intellectual faith. 

Very true. We now have lots of Sikh channels on SKY. Sikhi is finer than a hair and sharper than a sword, where there is no liar no cheating. Other faiths do a lot of lying to get more converts. In the end quality is what matters. Now you can read the whole of Guru Granth Sahib from your homes and easily obtain a copy. Our Gurdwaras need to attract non-Punjabi folk and many do come such as weddings.

What a weird post. So you dont see a problem and your advocating Islamification of non-muslim area's and muslim take over right?

Off course Sikhs also commit crime but not as much as muslims and other faith or non faith groups do. On the whole Sikhs are a law abiding community your always going to get a few bad apples in a community however Islam has a particular bad problem in every country that community settles in with sexual/rape grooming of non-muslim girls, drug dealing gangs, murders, terrorism. etc. So its an ideological problem, they arent taught right from wrong they are taught 7th century arabia wrong thinking wrong way of living in a modern world where them teachings in quran and hadiths are not acceptable.

I agree. The plague from Arabia is spreading in the UK.

Muslims live in small houses with like 10 of them. On my road they brought 4 houses for the same family.

I'm from Birmingham UK where there are plenty of Muslims. One area Cape Hill had lots of White British people and now they have deserted the area. Now there are Burqa wearing women and men in Salwar Kameez. The area Handsworth had once a lot of Sikhs, but they have moved to posher areas.

You have misunderstood my statement. I am not claiming these areas because the Sikhs ruled over them but that Sikhs owned the land. The Turks cannot claim Palestine because it was a part of their empire but the Palestinians can because they owned the land. It's not about rule but land ownership. Sikhs owned 57% of the land in Lahore district, the fact is that the British took the district from the owners and passed it on to the tenants much as in the analogy I gave in the previous post.

Maybe you should tell the Palestinians to move on and lose any hope of recovering their land that the Jews took.

Good news. Sikhism is growing again in Pakistan. There are Sikhs in the Pakistani army. Every year thousands of Sikhs go to Nankana Sahib with full security.

At least Dr Zakir Naik has done some research on Sikhism. He isn't like other Dawah preachers. He has done excellent research on other faiths and can quote from other scriptures other than the Qur'an.
