  1. WJKK WJKF Hi everyone, I am in need of some advice and direction to some shabads if anyone can help it would be massively appreciated. I have realised that I am moving away from sikhi and I don’t want to. It has been like this for a couple of months but I thought it would pass as it usually does and my sikhi would become stronger, but something feels different this time. This is going to sound weird but before it was like I had a fire in me and it would get stronger every time I went to the gurdwara, or did vichar or simran etc, but it feels like that has been put out and I can’t seem to summon the same devotion or interest as before. Every time I think about sikhi or Waheguru I feel very sad and sometimes guilty about the some of the decisions I have made in recent months that have been wildly out of character and not something I would have ever done if I was at home (with a stronger sikh sangat around me) or still strong in my faith (I drank alcohol, I have never wanted to drink, I have never liked the idea of it, i have tried drinking before i got into sikh and know that i don't like it yet somehow it happened anyway, even though I have been at uni for like a 2 years now and its only been this one instance where my faith was low and I sort of cracked, i know its not an excuse but it is the only way i am able to rationalise how i did something so unlike my normal self). I don’t know if its and identity crisis, a faith crisis or just that I was influenced by those around me. I know I should do ardas and simran and just try to get back into good habits, but I feel that this time it’s not enough. I still feel Wahegurus presence, I still feel safe knowing that I can still recognise his presence but I also feel very sad for some reason every time I remember Waheguru, it is really weird… just sadness every time, I don’t know why but it is not the way I used to feel so it is freaking me out a bit! I know similar questions have been posted and I have read most of what I could find but i don’t feel that what I have read so far is enough to help. I feel like if I don’t get back on the path I was on before I will get well and truly lost in this world and not be able to find my way back. Anything you can do to direct me back to sikhi would be great because I am really struggling to reconnect. I am taking like a crazy amount of ‘cyber hukumnama’s’ to get some guidance but feel that some of you that are more aware of Gurbani could direct me to a shabad that may suit my situation a bit better. (just as a bit of background: I have not taken Amrit but I hope one day I am blessed to. I am student and currently not able to get the same kind of gursikh sangat that helped me in the past. This is a bit of topic but a few months ago there was a close death in my family and I was faced with death for the first time in my life, I think that may have been where all the questions and doubts started. Perhaps the realisation of how short our lives were, and how final death is made me reconsider my beliefs, but it kind of backfired…. Most people seem to realise the importance of sikhi at this kind point in their lives, apparently I didn't… I have been told in the past that I ‘over think’ sikhi and make it much harder than it needs to be by putting to much pressure on myself, that may also be part of this, which is why I really want some direction from Gurbani as it is perhaps the most basic but most important part of sikhi (excluding naam), but I’m not quite sure where to start) Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

    New To Sikhi.. Help?:)

    Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh I'm new to Sikhi and trying to learn as much as possible Do you know where can I find good resources? I already know about some sikhi answers pages, but are there some online sikh courses/schools or live chats? Thanks

    Confused

    I just need some guidance please. I'm a manmukh Sikh. I do Simran etc often though (every day). Lately I kept having dreams with the Hindu Goddess Durga in them. I spoke to my Hindu friend about it and she said it usually means its warning you of something to do with fertility or death...she was correct...I found out a few weeks later. Now I'm having dreams with her again and I feel my attention going to her ... even though I still do Simran and turn to our Gurus all the time (many times throughout the day). But I cant get her out of my mind. Whats going on?! I feel like I need to start incoporating her when im doing my ardas/simran everyday. Is this bad? What should I do? I'm not into Hinduism at all so this is confusing me! There is no way I would turn my back to Sikhi as I hope to become a Guru's Sikh one day.

    A Secret I Have To Keep

    I'm a male, 17yrs old. I don't know what to do - I live with a secret and it makes me feel terrible. I know I can't tell anyone but at the same time I'm worried and I really stopped enjoying my life recently So the story is: My really good friend (not sikh) is constalntly cheating on his girlfriend - a beautiful, honest, wise, godfearing sikh women. I promised him not to tell anyone but my heart just breaks every time I look at them together - she seems so in love yet he is such a bad person... I told him that he has to stop but he says he won't... And now I don't know what to do. I consider him as a friend but she doesn't deserve that

  6. Hey everyone, So I have been lurking this forum for quite some time, and I really like the help that everyone is getting. A lot of the people that post here are very intelligent in the Sikh ways and I hope you guys can help me out too, being that I don't know a lot of Sikh people besides my immediate family.It's only fair that I post my story so that other people can gain insight from my situation as I did. So I've been through a lot mentally, so I'll try to leave out the details. Basically I've been going through a lot with coping with my identity. I grew up in a Sikh family and I was having thoughts of cutting my hair and beard. I didn't want to tell anyone because I knew it would hurt my family, so I kept it in trying to battle it on my own. I didn't know a lot of Sikh people besides my close family, so I've been on my own for the most part. However over time, it got harder and harder. I was suppressing my emotions while I was with them, and was bottling it all in. After a few years of this, I had to tell someone. Eventually, we were bickering back and forth on discussing this matter and going nowhere fast. There was going to be no middle ground in this, and both of us knew that. Fast forward about 8 months later. I cut my hair and beard. I feel a lot better when it comes to my appearance, but its still not enough for me. We don't have the discussion much anymore, besides a few times when my dad says that it hurts him when he sees me. (When I go home, I wrap a turban on out of respect for my family. Yet it is still implicit that I did get it cut.) Not only does that add on to my guilt, I think about my family members who kept their identity and are doing well. I think about where I went wrong in my thinking that lead me to today. I love my family so much that I hate hurting them in this way. The last time I got my hair cut was in mid-July, and my mother was very happy that I haven't gone to get a haircut recently. It's things like this where my guilt clashes like a golf cart and a semi truck. I love my family so much that I don't want to hurt them, yet I'm conflicted with what I want to do. Even yesterday I went to the hair salon, but I couldn't go inside with the feelings of my family going through my mind, so I turned around and left. If I am really honest with myself, I like the way that I look now then the way I did before. I was even surprised about the reactions I got before and after; they are more positive now. But it's tough to maintain because of all the factors that I have mentioned before; with my family and those who kept up with it. I guess what I'm alluding to writing in this post is that my conflict has stayed the same. Before when I had my identity, it was my views vs the family views. And now after the fact, the game is still the same. Has anyone or does anyone know of anyone that has been through the same thing that I am going through and can share their experiences? My scope is limited because I don't know a lot of Sikh people, but from what I gather, its either an all or nothing thing: I've seen families where either they are all Sikhs and keep their identity, or families where none of them keep their identity. Not split like the situation that I am in. Any input would help. Thanks in advance for reading this and for your help.
  7. I work as a dental technician. I have a degree and i need help, why? Its because i earn per hour, so at the end of the day i get £60 no matter how jobs i do. My boss she is changing the entire business from now on it will be unit based, so monday i made 5 jobs i get £25, tuesday i made2 jobs i get £10.

She has over 10years experience i have 1year. Iv cried every night because i did a degree and now im getting this. Im tearing up writting this, what can my dental technology degree get me a job in. I have no family here in uk or any friends. Im turning to internet for help.
  8. Dear Sadh Sangat ji ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫਤਿਹ You might came across in the media, that Google is setting up a function called Google Helpout, which is based on Google Hangout. People will be able to ask for help etc. My question is how can we use this tool for the future for distributing Sikhi and is there anyone who is already using it for giving santhiya, teaching tabla, vaja, Punjabi etc. Google Hangout is able as far as I know to communicate with 10 people. However you can also set it up as a public conversation and everyone in the world can join the stream. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-VFC9AQM1k

    Advice Needed

    Hello im from leicester. My sister is getting married in over 1 years time to a person of different caste.The wedding date is nearly booked . Now my sister spends all her weekends with her husband to be. This would not be a problem if it was at sociable hours however she ends up going early in morning at coming back at nearly 12 at night. I have tried explaining this is not right before marriage but she wont listen. Not only this but when she comes back she is often very unsociable within the house, she will go straight to say the lounge or her bedroom where no one else is and doesnt want to talk. She secludes her self from us after meeting him. However i want to spend time with her and she doesn't. How can i explain how i feel and make her understand? She is not even engaged as the wedding is ages away. The more i try to make her understand the worse it gets
  10. Deleted. Nobody listens to me anyways, no point, all i going to get is who cares.

    Really Low Point

    Vaheguru jee ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh sadh sangat jee please read this with a kind heart, I really need some help. I am truly in love with Guru Sahib, I feel like I could literally do path all day, however I have quite an issue. I picked a job which I thought would give me time for independent bhagti, however I was sorely mistaken. Due to certain issues I am now working around 12 hours a day if not more (i have to take home work as well), its not even a choice, its simply if I don't get the work done then EVERYTHING would come to a standstill. I am trying everything I can to minimise the work. Now my problem is that my sikhi has fallen to a deep low. I was hoping to do load of path this weekend but i was so exhausted from the week that i literally just collapsed and have done NOTHING all weekend. In fact, due to doing less path and simran in the week I find that I have fallen a lot more badly into vikaars and my mind is getting dirtier. It feels like a true case of "sikh gur bin mar jaee". I can't explain but I feel like i am losing my sikhi and this literally makes me feel like i am dying inside. I just want to cry. There was a point where I would stay up all night doing bhagti now i can't even do amritvela. It would be better if I was dead.

    Lust?!?!?!?!?!

    Having problems with lust....masturbation n porn...when i was a younger i didnt even know what it was....i didnt even know porn or masturbating existed until i was about 15... that was the age wen i started experimenting, and when i found out i got addicted.. Im 17 now and im just really horny all the time. I can go about 2 weeks without doing it but when i do i always have weird lustful dreams. I want to get back into sikhi so badly but i cant because i feel like a fake...like i dont even deserve to say gods name.. I say back into sikhi because when i was younger i used to be very religious but ever since i started masturbation and stuff i feel bad everytime i go gurdwara or do simran etc... Im sorry ive had to post this, but i dont know what else i could do....this isnt exactly a topic u can speak to your parents about :L
  14. I was a Singh for about 3/4 years and had been blessed enough to take amrit, it was hard but I managed for a year or so.. but suddenly everything changed, how I thought about things, the things I done. I was smoking, drinking, having sex. I thought I didn't believe anymore, i thought long and hard for 5/6 months and so Like a pappu I cut my kes. my Singh friends pushed me away but afew are still close but I can't even look at them without feeling bad. It's been 2/3 years since and iv always had this feeling deep down inside that I cannot explain. I look back and think what a TW@T, what have I done. I think about what I have done and cry. I left everything that was good and now I'm here.. I haven't felt the same since. I can't keep hiding my emotions anymore I need help and adivce. I was a son of a guru ji and now I'm nothing. I feel like i want to become a singh again but i just cant do it without knowing if im 100% i dont know what i would do if i done something like this again, I don't even know what to say anymore. Sorry if some of it doesn't make sense, it's been hard for me to explain. Thnx Vaheguru ji ki Khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh
  15. Sat Shri Akal Sariya nu. I am a sikh and i met a girl(sikh) a month ago and i love her and so does she. we are kinda great match n similar in many aspects. we understand each other so well. Everything was going well and i told her once to tell her mom about me because i did not wanted that she should meet me by lying to her mom n come hiding every time to meet me. Basically i didn't wanted that she looses her mothers faith in her(thats whats most important in a daughter and mothers relationship). So she did tell her mom and first everything was okay and her mom told her after knowing my caste and i am not a PR of Canada that just end it right here with me and no more meeting,talking,texting. I really love her and respect that she cant go against her mother because her mother has gone through a lot in the family just because of her kids, so she doesn't want to take any step which will go against her mother from relatives sides. I respect and understand her decision of obeying her mom but why is this caste system causing problem?? I thought sikhs are either 'Singh' and 'Kaur' and guru nanak dev ji apposed the caste system then why are many sikh family still into this caste thing? She will not see me coz her mom told her to focus on studies for 3 years and its not the right time n moreover i m from different caste. I and she didn't wanted to get married until we both completed our studies and become something in life but just coz of this caste thing she cant see me or hangout with me. She talks to me thou. I told her to tell her mom that i wanted to talk to her so that i could sit and explain her how much i love her daughter and i m not marrying her or crossing my limits with her before marriage. I also wanted to tell her that we are not getting married until we finish our studies and become what we want to but she refused to talk to me. I and her our suffering coz her mom thinks that if her daughter gets married to me then their families respect is finished forever and society and relatives will trouble them and taunt them every time about her daughter marrying a guy of different caste. What the hell is all this? Even in this century people r thinking like this? I understand this might not be the right age but why cant we see each other or hang out? Its hard not the see the girl you love the most. Does anyone can help me in this that how should i take my next step or tell me your opinion?
  16. Hi, i live in the uk and my parents want me to have an arranged marriage in india (i have no problem with this) but I dont really know much about punjabi girls, the girl is from a village in punjab and theres so many questions that Im not sure who can answer or who I should ask, such as what if we dont feel in love after we get married? how intimate can you be with each other? is it like relationships in the western world where you kiss each other all the time when youre alone, would they have sex for fun/get closer to each other or would they see it as simply for reproduction? I think id find it hard to ask those kinds of questions to my prospective wife before marriage. Neither of us are amritdharis. Any info on the way punjabi girls are brought up, and what marriage means to them in regards to being close to each other would be great.
  17. WJKK WJKF I have a friend who's 16 and she's been suffering from this problem. For most of her life, she has been caring and ready to help anyone in any situation. For the past little while she's realized that those feelings have been shutting down. It's more natural for her to get upset in a situation where she has a problem rather than a situation where someone else (who she cares about) has a problem. It used to be the complete opposite before this year. She really wants the old state of mind back, but it feels as if her mind just doesn't care about much anymore. Is this because of age? Any tips to help get back into the old state of mind? Thank you in advance for replies WJKK WJKF

    Socailising In The Gurdwara?

    wjkk wjkf okay so i lived in birmingham for all my life, all my friends family and everything was set, we lived next to a gurdwara and we used to go regularly and everthing was good and there was a big sikh community, but recently i had to move to move up north coz my dad got a good job there so i had to leave birmingham and leave everyone and start all over basically, and so i did, ive been living here for a year now and ive made friends and school and everything but ive started to dred going to the gurdwara...i live close to a gurdwara here too but considering there arnt much sikhs up here theres not much sangat in the gurdwara's, and coz theres little sangat everyone there knows eachother, and this is my problem! its like, everyone in my family has someone they can socialise with in the gurdwara but i dont have anyone there are kdis there that are my age group but there just impossible to talk with coz there from india and they speak hindi and cant speak english properly (and i cant speak hindi) thats why i cant talk to them, theres other kids that can speak english but there in their own little group and i dont wanna barge in to their little friend circle, and tbh i dont mind being alone in gurdwara but it seems like everyone else does! i go to gurdwara so i can connect on waheguru not to make friends, i tell my parents that but they say u still need to know these poople coz their apart of ur 'community' n stuff, but im happy being a loner in the langar hall lool, i have friends in school that i go out with so its not like im a loner 247 and i got friends in birmingham that i go to visit occasionally (and their sikh so its not like im not hanging out wih my own kind (sikh friends coz i alrady have them back in birmingham) but at the same time if i look like a loner infront of my family and everyone at the gurdwara it looks bad, im just really confsed! i dont know what to think, this isnt a big problem but its still kind of annoying, any advice would be appriciated, thanks wjkk wjkf

    Vaheguru ji ka khalsa veheguru ji ki fateh My kesh got tangled and i tried to under it but some kesh kind of snaped in the knot does that mean i have to go for pesh?
  20. Waheguru ji ka Khalsa Waheguru ji ki Fateh, Dear Sadh Sangat Ji, Thanks for helping me with my last gupt post....( Help! My Life, Naam Kamai And Gur Sikhi Prachar ) With the Grace of Guru Sahib ji , i have decided to do SEVA and help SIKHS living in Remote Areas of Rajasthan (Pakistan Border Area) India and SIKHS living along with Ghaghar River.... !!! PLEASE POST YOUR SUGGETION, COMMENTS about this Project !!! We will need Support and Fundraising help from Sikh Sangat. The Ghaghar River flows through Rajasthan's Sri Ganganagar District towards Pakistan. This river is named Ghaghar River because it was use to flow like A women wearing Skirt doing Whirly dance. Water spins very fast due to whirly effect and it starts cutting the soil/ shores and many kilometres long land will suddenly get sunk into river water. Story of this Area : It is said that one day Dasven Patshah Dhan Dhan Sti Guru Gobind Singh ji was going through this area with his Sikhs. Guru ji and sikhs started to cross the Ghaghar river in Bedis and 40 Sikhs of Guru ji stuck in the Ghumangheri (swirling water), sunk, and died. This happened between two places known as Malla Tibba and Jhanda Tibba. Guru ji then gave Shrap to the Ghaghar river that - O River You will Dry one day, my Sikhs will come here, they will Rip your chest and they will do khethi ( farming) on your chest. River asked in reply Sachhe patshah when i will flow again. Guru ji said you will flow very occasionally. Since after that many Sikhs settled in this area and started doing farming Inside and along the river. I was born and grown in this area. I have countless number of farms ( even many villages) are actually inside the river flow area ( or between both shores of the river) When heavy rain comes in Punjab , they put excessive water into Ghaghar river ( it happens 2-3 times in every 5-7 years) and it supplies minerals and water for farming properties in the river. This area is Mini Punjab of Rajasthan. Coz it gives a big amount of crops (Wheat, Cotton, Mustard, Pulses, etc.), fruits like orange, sugar cans and other things to Whole Rajasthan. Sadly - There is NO GOVERNMENT SUPPORT to this area, no facilities, not very good hospitals, not good education, bad roads, even not enough volume of water is supplied trough Farming Canals due to Politics of Rajasthan government. This area is self developed by local people. When farmers put their seeds in their fields, government cuts down the water supply form many days to months. About Sikhs living in the Area and common issues: Most Sikhs are farmer. There is no Gur Sikhi Prachar in the Area, Most Sikhs have forgotten their real Values and going on the path of Patit Puna. Don’t ask about Young Generation. There is Theka (bottle shop) in every small village. But this area is far away from big intoxications / drugs. Killing of Unborn Daughters in Sikh Families is very common in this area. Rude culture / DAWRY system - Grooms Family asking for Meat, Chickens, Branded Wines, Car/Motorbikes, Cash and arrangements of Female Dancers is very common. Needs: There is a big need of Gur Sikhi Prachar and to develop personal links with Sikhs in the area. There is a big demand for a good Hospital. Closet good hospital with emergency facilities PMB (prince bijaysingh memorial) hospital, Bikaner. Which is 163kms away from Gharsana, 186kms from Anupgarh. Distance calcution Source: http://www.distancesbetween.com/distance-between/distance-from-bikaner-to-gharsana/164793/r3/ Sikh Awareness. Our project (currently on rough paper) : Stage #1 1. Starting a Good Hospital: Mothers & chalderns - priority Emergency facilities - priority Aged and Youth - secondary 2.

Whenever a Sikh wanted to build a house , Guru ji and sadh sangat will go to that Sikh's house and sadh sangat will give him 1 rupee and 1 brick , thus that Sikh will have 1000 Rupees and 1000 bricks to build his house.

  24. I don't feel like doing anything, it feels like I've lost interest in everything but if someone makes me do something something simple like kirtan then I'll start enjoying it like I used to before. I want to so Simran inside I want to go do seva at the gurdwara but I don't know what's stopping me, I want to so something but it feels like i lost interest and everything seems boring. Why do I feel this way? I did have a fight with my mom earlier which ruined my mood and made me upset. But I don't know something's missing. I don't know what to do.
