Are you good at giddah?

I've never seen anyone do Giddah at any wedding I've been to.

To the Singh's: 

What Questions would you ask your ("future"?) Wife before marriage?

What questions should be asked?

 

Vaheguru Ji ka Khalsa

Vaheguru Ji ki fateh 

I'd probably just ask what their expectations are in the marriage?

actually he sound like the prachar from the generic non-bana wearing amrit dharis from last century post-partition, with the mantra "don't eat meat, it's against sikhi" etc...

Can't be having that in the 2020s, not where Nihang Singhs are much more visible again in the panth!

I mean no offense, but arguing about meat one way or the other is pretty useless if someone doesn't know bani or rehat. For most people eating KFC is the same as jhatkaing an animal yourself.

In most scenarios an able-bodied father should protect the family, (including wife and kids), a mother should protect her kids, (after the husband is gone), and oldest siblings should protect younger siblings, (after the parents are gone). If a young child is protecting both mom and dad, something is severely wrong in that scenario. According to Sikhi all of these souls are equal, but by all accounts calling them equal in the pecking order is just not common sense. 

The ones calling Dhan Dhan Shri Guru Harkrishan Ji a child should have a deeper look at themselves on how they view Guru Sahib instead of saying a normal child should be a leader.

so, i'm in year 12, uk. my parents are like sort-of connected with sikhism, but not much. they still eat meat and modify the hair, and while i try not too. my parents forces me to like remove the hairs and eat the meat and i try not to but i most of the time don't win and i feel guilty. i wanted to take amrit, but my parents don't let me and say im too young.  i've learnt gurmukhi and the rehat myraada from online and gurughar. every time i take a step towards being a sikh, they pull me back.  i feel like i'm losing my faith

 

what should i do? should i give up or should I wait till i'm more control of my life?

I'd say start with doing Nitnem and Amrit Vela for a while before taking Amrit. If you are living the Rehat it becomes more easier to eventually take Amrit, if you never do paaht, it would be hard to keep the maryada.

I know this forum does not allow meat discussion. but does rehat maryada say you should not eat meat?

Just make another topic brava.

Why are people afraid of ghosts?

1) They prove death is not the end.

2) They’re supernatural. 
 

3) They have interesting stories, many films are based on them (like Ghost) as well as books.

4) Before the age of science they were very popular.

People are afraid of what they don't know. Considering 99% of us haven't seen any ghosts or know much about them; we might not exactly be buddy-buddy with ghosts.

lol this is the kind of stuff accounts used to get banned for on this forum!

I remember when mentioning Jhatka would get you warnings.

If you're unsatisfied by the marriage you probably should get divorced, nothing is worth losing your mental health over.

My first option would be to marry a apni suchi gal, but they do not even want to open up dialogue. They play marriage like it's a topp trump game, any stat lower than 10 is not worth their time. Even if they are divorced and have kids. So please do not think this my first choice but I'm 44 and want a family so time is not on my side.

Pretty much every mixed race Sikh boy that I've seen raised wearing a guti ends up cutting their hair. 

Most Sikh kids in general cut their hair, even if 2 punjabi parents. Really up to the child at that point to choose Sikhi.

As goras give up Christianity, they are funding efforts to push it on us and Africa.

I'm sure the number is much lower of actual Christians, because many of them are only nominally Christian for the community aspect. Very few people genuinely believe the earth is only 10000 years old and the Bible.

I think you've hit on the legacy of colonialism there. Bhai Jagraj Singh talked about how xtians retained their divinity status for Jesus, but had us talking about our own Gurus as bards or mere humans who came to teach - another Jedi mind trick through xtian, protestant Singh Sabha 'parchaar'.  

There is big change going on though, we are on some paradigm shift. The problem is that we need some sort of coordination, so our revival movement doesn't become yet another 'interpretation' amongst many in our panth. 

Plus, I'd say most of what came from the post-annexation period on Sikhi (i.e. this new beast called 'Sikhism') is skewed as heck. That just confuses people more than educating them. However better thought out material is being produced, and facilities like the internet allow for stimulating and informative debate and info exchange (at its best). 

That kaur who started this thread sounds like she gets her worldview completely from the internet and social media........phew

The biggest problem currently is that we are encouraged to be so unique that if we have a concept that's somewhat similar to another religion, (Christianity and Hinduism), we are told that it's not part of our traditions. I've mentioned Guru Sahib not being seen as God, by a lot of the Panth mainly as a reactionary to get Sikhs to view Jesus as God by the British, but also reactionary towards Hinduism as we are rejected that idea of reincarnation and karma. Sikhi ultimately needs to stand by itself, instead of it having to be reactionary towards something else.

It would be if the majority of the Sangat is from Panjab.

The bulk of the diaspora has moved in the last few decades and it takes time for the diaspora to adapt to their environment. 

 

When being a Sikh was a death sentence, Baba Deep Singh Ji wrote a farsi saroop of Dhan Dhan Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and sent it to Iraq which barely had any Sikhs, now we as Punjabis, (which has a lot more Sikhs and Gurdwaras), are making controversy over legitimacy of Dasam Granth and on whether Guru Sahib was Vaheguru or not. We aren't winning, we've already lost until we go back to Sikhi.

Speaking for real, in modern times our faith is heavily-centric to Punjab and Punjabi issues. There are more talks on Punjab in Punjabi in Gurdwaras than the issues aam bande have wherever they live. If all the people in the Gurdwara are Punjabi, all the talks are in Punjabi, and we are talking about Punjab; why would average Gora or Kalla want to join? What made people like Jugraj Singh unique was that he didn't make the focus on a place far-away and focused on what the average bande living in UK actually needed, spiritual growth, also even when he did speak about Sikh issues; he always made the focus on what we can actually achieve instead of talking about goals that average Sikh likely can't achieve.

If tomorrow someone wanted to learn about Jesus Christ or Muhammad, they could do so in pretty much every language with people from every ethnic group, but if tomorrow we want to learn about Guru Sahib, our only options are in Punjabi and only recently English, otherwise we just learn "Someone born in Talwandi and who traveled a lot as a good man".

Makes me laugh all the blurbing in this post. 
 

how many of those posting are Freemasons and Sikh?

you’re all miles off the point. 
 

I am a FM and a Sikh. 
there are no conflicts. 
It’s conspiracy theories and people with no experience badmouthing anything they don’t know about.

lots if things go hand in hand. In fact when you are initiated, you can choose to make your promises with the Guru Granth Sahib in front of you. 

anyway, WJKK WJKF

so mote it be. 

People used to swear allegiances to the ruler of British Raj in front of Maharaj, it doesn't mean it's the right type of promises.

Also, how many of our people are actually unaware or in straight denial of what constitutes Panjabi 'culture'. 

I don't think transgenderism was popular during Porus time, it likely came from non-punjabi influence.

I think it is in the context of the 'trans' thing that seems to be normalised.

In that if there is abnormal things that are pushed onto society like drag queen hour for children.

The people who do these things would be have been ostracised, shamed and ridiculed in the past and now that these people are not as picked on, they are taking advantage and are now the aggressors. 

Sounds like a Gora/Kallah or Isai problem.

^ Above can be controlled and the only available legal framework in India is to stop desi sharab shops - Holy city status. If that is not doable then no govt; whether central or state can stop liquor powerhouse lobby. That lobby + central's ambition to suppress Sikhs is the result of not giving sikhs any holy city while they have given to hindus and muslims. 

Desi Liquor stores in punjab is the entry point for punjabis to become the addicts.  

Even if alcohol is completely banned and no Hindus, Sikhs, or Muslims drink alcohol in Punjab, this slavery would still exist because of profits and maya; we need to give punishments for slavers.
