Once upon a time there was a Singh called Babbar Singh who loved to swim in his bathtub. He also liked to sing along. His voice was not so good and anyone who he perved on got a thappar and a free slap from mummy. When he grew he became big. He loved dhudhu which made him white like makhan. Finally one day he met a likkle dogie who looked like Shah Rukh Khan but much nicer than anyone he'd ever seen before in his life and began to hug it. Then, he went to a dog food shop and found ladoo to celebrate.after he ate, he felt sick because ...the ladoo had rocks in it, the size of doggy eye balls. So he looked at the doggie and started crying. Then one day, something amazing happened. The doggie discovered invisible gatka stick & double-edged kirpaan, then lost them whilst bouncing on the wooden table and broke his diamond rolex watch.He shouted,"

We went on a school trip to soho road gurdwara. There were people of all faiths and no faiths that went. Our school made sure that no onecaused offence and told everyone to wear trousers instead of skirts. The people there gave an explaination of everything and answered questions. Everyone ate langar and I laughed becuase loads of people said it was really spicy but it wasn't. The teachers told us that you had to finish everything because you know you're not supposed to leave jhoot. And the look on people faces when the were trying to eat the "spicy" sabji was classic! It was really bizarre cos when i did the normal matha tek everyone just stared at me. Most just bowed their heads because they felt uncomfortable doing so. They thought it was weird when people stared at you but people tend to stare when they see a large group of teenagers wlaking around anyway. The best part was that some of my firends that were non sikh started to research sikhi voluntarily and said it was such a beautiful religion and it made me happy. So if you do get the oppurtunity to invite a non sikh to a gurdwara just try and bring them

Either that or it'll go mouldy

I found this "joke" on the internet: An elderly Punjabi admitted to the intensive care department of a hospital requested that he has taken lessons in French. The doctor was puzzled and asked him why? Well, French is the language of heaven, he sighed. I want to be able to communicate with everyone in heaven if I die. But how are you so sure that you will end up in heaven? You might go to hell. What good will French do you then? asked the doctor. That will be no problem. I am fluent in Punjabi. It's horrible and degrading to say that about any race or culture

Not Really becoz its not just the meat, its the prayer. Sikhs don't believe in the rituals that the food undergoes because you can't really make the food holier. Food is food- (unless it's M&S food but that's beside the point.)

I saw halal chips once. How does that work? By killing the potato?

Sorry, this is going off topic a little but once this guy came to the gurdwara wearing a Liverpool football shirt and they're sponsored by Carlsberg. I thought it was a bit weird having an alcoholic logo on your shirt when you go to the gurdwara

Yes, but have you heard the Adil Ray show? It is completely stupid but very funny. Even my Mum listens to him

Exactly, Not trying to insult any religions but the world was created in seven days doessn't make any sense. i think on the third day God made vegetation, then on the fourth day God made the Sun. This is scientifically wrong because plants can't photosynthesise without light. Unless it was some kind of heavenly light or something. Sikhi doesn't contradict science and science doesn't contradict Sikhi. Also if you believe in the cosmological argument i.e. nothing can happen without a cause, then the Big Bang can be applied to Sikhi. Something made it go Bang, that 'something' could have been God' Please correct me if I am wrong!

Thank you for replying! But I don't understand, what was Maharaj meditating on? As humans we meditate on God so would Maharaj be meditating on himself?

I am doing R.S GCSE and the topic is creation of the world. My school is mainly dominated by muslims and christians so all our R.S. GSCEs are based on their beliefs. I respect their beliefs but I don't agree with them. My teacher said in the ten years she had been teaching at my school I was the first person who knew the most about Sikhism. This is quite disheartening beacuse I am not an expert at all. What is the Sikhi side of creation? I believe in the big bang and evolution. But I don't believe in the genesis story and that. How can I do a GCSE and write a load of stuff I personally don't believe in? Please help!

The terrorists have suceeded in what they want to do i.e cause terror. Now everyone will think that they are going to attack and security will be heightened and evryone will be running around screaming. All he could be planning to do is set off a fart but it would still have that same effect.

It was a joke! But honestly this world is seriously weird at times

Cheese? I always suspected there was something in it!lol

Should we try to fit our nitnem around our lives or our lives around our nitnem? What is more important?

Has anyone noticed in Bollywood that the singhs are always are portrayed as stupid and the jokers? Everytime it irritates me that the Indian filmmakers are so biased against Sikhs.

As my biology teacher teacher says... enzymes are not alive! Well I hope that is right. If i am not, sorry Gurfateh!

Waheguru Ji Ka Kalsa Waheguru Ji KI Fateh. Thanks to everyone for replying back to me with valuable advice. I was deeply touched. I know it is very important for me to respect my my elders because this is what my Guru Ji expects from me as his daughter. Believe me Sangat I do not wish to cause unnecessary conflicts especially with any member of my family. I have come to realize that this life God has given to me is precious and should not be wasted. Guru Ji has given us an excellent oppurtunity to get out of this cycle of birth and death and hopefully pass with flying colours. I know I am not the same wavelength as my family but I still try to explain to them n ot to go against my Guru Ji's teaching only because I don't want them to waste their life. If they do follow Guru Ji's teaching I would feel comforted knowing that this life and after they would be blessed .If any close member of your family was taking drugs or was alcoholic would you help them or just ignore it? Personally I can't ignore. As a daughter , daughter-in-law and sister I will try to help my family. Even if they don't listen I Know I have tried and my Guru Ji will be proud of me. Gurfateh.

waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh! this is my first post and I was hoping whether any of you could give my advice on my personal issues. I am from a staunch ramgharia family even though i don't consider myself as ramgharia. Over the years i feel i have started to drift away from my immediate family beacuse of my strong belief in my faith. family meaning, my parents, brother, sister-in-law,my husband's side of the family. Me and my husband and my two children feel that our way of thinking about Sikhi does not agree with the rest of the family and now we feel more attached to Waheguru, but had to sacrifice our close relationship with our relatives. Regarding the doc's latest post on ramgharia gurudwaras I felt totally in assent to his article and when my family asked my opinion I had to agree with the article which totally upset them. I feel strongly that our gurus teachings, messages are far too important to be taken lightly or ignored and this I feel offends my family because they feel I should agree with them because they are older than me and i should be showing them respect. When I attend nanaksar gurudwara in Birmingham I think it is so beautiful that there is no differentiation between caste there. No one cares if one is ramgharia or jhat, everyone is equal , no jaath paath. My husband, children and I alll took Amrit around 4 years ago and we did not have any problems. In nanaksar everything is provided for you, our kachereh were made in exactly our sizes! My daughter is 13 years old and my son is 8 years old and with Waheguru's kirpa both can read the bani and do kirtan. At the nanaksar gurudwara after the children learnt punjabi they are then shown how to read and do their nitnem, then children are all allocated to do roal di seva every week as they is always regular sampat paaths and akandpaaths. Over the years I know I have drifted from the main families but feel i have a spiritual family at the gurudwara where my beliefs are respected and shared. I feel everyone is born with a purpose in life and you know you are fulfilling your prupose when you feel satisfied with what you are doing and I feel content when I use my time given by God around my children and husband. My lifestyle with my family is totally different from the rest of the family when we do have together for a whatever function , it gets very awkward. Most of the time we feel we have to always go along with their conversation but they have no interest in our point of view. Sometimes i feel we make them feel awkward or insecure and for them to get over their insecurities they try to find faults in us. I don't think we are a threat to anyone we are just an ordinary family who wants to live the gursikhi way. Sometimes I am put in a dilemma if my parents express an opinion on Sikhi which i feel is wrong for example caste systems. I find it hard just to ignore and want to really explain to them the gursikhi way, but we always seem to get into confrontation and they will say to me if i was trying to be religious then i should respect the parents first. and not go against them. What do you guys think? Sometimes my husband will say just along with them to keep the peace but I feel if i do that I feel I am betraying my faith, my love to my guru. I can't bear anyone misinterpreting our guru's teachings for their own personal needs to make their lives easier. YOu can't pick and choose from the bani. Thanks for reading please reply! By the way doc I'm with you 100%
