I am not calling myself true Sikh because I know I am not close to being a true Sikh yet but trying a lot but living in an environment where most of my family member have apposite thinking. in my family they go to pundits, kalesh is there, I live in a big family and kids here are screaming most of the time (I am not blaming the kids because they learn all that from vadde log in family) and I am not allowed to say anything. when I am by myself I enjoy bani ,I want to listen to sakhiya , katha but when I sit with them my heart is never shaant. I am always getting mad , always want to say bad things to make them be quiet and all the things that we are taught not to do I basically want to do that because by those actions they are setting bad example for the kids . Its hard to say I am not going to talk to them and not going to sit with them because they are my family but I want shaanti in my life ,in my heart. they don't ask me to stop doing path or anything like that but they don't want to change themselves either. which is sometimes hard, living with them. what can I do ? I live in a place where I am having difficulty finding sadh sangat.where I can go and talk to them but I am hoping this website will help me.

Out of interest there is an individual who I know (XYZ Singh) who has studied for 12 years in New-Zealand, he is a top-class student but due to some financial difficulties and time constraints he cannot attend any university here. He now wants to study at a University in Punjab. Which university should he chose in Punjab, why? And above all how much would it cost him in fees for one year? He wishes to do a three year degree in biological sciences. He is originally from Jalandhar, and will like to study in any university in Chandigarh, Ludhiana, Jalandhar etc. But definitely not outside Punjab. Plus any additional contact details for the university will be greatly appreciated.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh! With the belssings of the Eternal King Sahib Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji , I hold a humble benti to the Charan of all Sangat. I am in a predicament. I posted previously around 12months ago about a 'Baba' staying at my house and my family following manmat practices - Jal Taareh, Doodh Taareh etc etc. A little about myself: i kept my Kesh 2 years ago however still trimmed my beard and at and drank etc. I am a final year law student. I have always had great pyaar for Sikhi and as a result I stopped eating meat and stopped drinking at the behest of my family. As a result of our differeing views on religion my family and I stopped speaking to each other: my mother and I did not speak for nearly over 10months. When we did start speaking they hinted at me trimming my beard and to stop being 'weird' and start eating meat etc. As a result of keeping the peace within the house i did all of this. Even though i started doing all of the above I did not leave my paath or my Gurudwara (obviously not on the same days as the drink etc). As it was Vaisakhi i stopped for the duration from the srart of April until now - as I had Seva Duties for the Akhand Paath (JapJi Sahib Rauls). My parents got in contact with this Baba bercause of my brother as they thought there was somethign wrong with him - anyway I had an arguiment with my parents a few weeks back and the subject of the Baba came up and I in anger said ill though things about him which angered my parentrs etc. Now we are not speaking again. TOday I had a call from my Mum and I was tryuing to sort things out but it came to the same result _ my mopther asking me not to contact her and not to speak to her etc I was also told that i was old enough to think and do what I want. Im lost Sangat Jee, I would love to Chakk Amrit and become the Sikh of Guru Jee - but honestly I have no one - i thought my family would support me in my path of Sikhi but they wopnt either. Can any Sangat help.? Please Inbox or reply. Waheguru

Sadh Sangat Ji, We took a Hukam from Maharaj last week. The name will start with either Gur or Har. Boys and Girls names please. So please, any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you, Preeti

Waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh. Recently I got the shock of my life. My husband is cheating on me for almost 2 years. We have been married for 7 years now.. We are both amritdhari and he is cheating on me with an indian (hindu) colleague. I had this doubt and confronted him. He told me everything while crying. My whole world is shattered. People c him as a chardikala singh. He is very active in spreading sikhi. Sewa in gurdwara. I am totally broken. I also lost my nitnem. I dont go to the gurdwara anymore i feel ashamed. He feels like i should forgive him but i cant. Divorcing is no option because I dont want my family to know about this. Ive asked for advice to some but it feels like they want to hide this fact. They say forgive him and dont tell anyone else.

What religion are they ??? What are they fighting for and against ???

Sadh sangat ji Please help me with tan, man and dhan For paapian & panth de dokhiyan nu sodhan lai I will read your comments and come back

I'm going to be attending my buddies wedding this weekend. I need some help with what to wear. I wanted to buy a nice suit plus wear a pagri that matches the accent color of the suit. I was told if I wear any color to make sure to wear blue, so I would have the pagri match the blue (or maybe just black). I wanted to wear a pagri and not a bandanna because a white dude with a bandanna looks so cheese, like a biker gang just crashed the party. Any of you have suggestions? Here is a picture of me, if you need help with matching complexion. Any help would be most appreciated.

i cant seem to stop myself from feeling sad and alone i seem to get everything wrong and so parents and close friends r always anoyyed at me i dont have many friends and whenever i have told them something personal something has always happened making me hurt i feel useless alone and worthless and i have such a low sikhi level too i havent gone into detail cos I've thought about posting on here for such a long time and finaly doing it it so hard i cnt tell too much i dont even know what im expecting by posting this

Can non-members view attached thumbnails?

Today I made a very heavy, easily avoidable and massively stupid error which will probably prove fatal to me. There is this girl at school who I want to be friends with. Shes smart and serious. I like her. Today a few individuals at school found out. By tomorrow probably she will know, but this thought just struck me; I am looking for a girlfriend when it's not allowed. What do I do? What do I say to her tomorrow and above all how do I repent in the Guru's eyes? Basically my peers managed to get this stupid thing out of me, I like her.

Gurfateh, will be starting uni in sept, i have to choose between uni of essex, queen mary and kingston. anyone got any idea which is best for amritdhari person and has most gursikh sangat . Thanks

Sangat Ji... Can you all please help and do a ardas for my sister health. she has lymphoma cancer and has a scan tomorrow to show her tumour has shrank. We pray to Waheguruji that this is the case else the consultant has said there is nothing else they can do. My sister is not even 40 and has two very young kids and is a very good person. Please help me Sangat Ji. Thanks you.

WJKK WJKF I went a Sukhmani Sahib paart yesterday at what i have now been told is a Nanaka Gurdwara, (thats if we can call it Gurdwara) On entry as i went to do Matha Tekh i saw a Lions Skin and head in front of Shri Guru Granth shaib, in all my years i nver sceen this, there was something cultish to me about this and the people there am i wrong ? There was No Nishan Sahib there either. They done Ardas kireten and Hukumnama But there was something there which gave me an impression this is not othadox Sikhi. whats it all about

How do you explain to a non-sikh , what happened in 1984, who just doesn't seem to understand?

i need help not a doc never asked for this before, i need ardas, anybody can help me please cant cope nomore, times running out. dont like nothin or nobody no more, times running out. nobody wants to help, faith gone zero. doing simran nothin happening, cried cried cried scared of this world. scary feeling won't go. energy gone. nasty world always blame me. nobody never helped me in life. god has left me. on own again. good then nice can die. the end.

Basically i came across this guy a few months back and from the very first time i met him, i was hooked. He is like no other person i have ever come across. Its not about looks etc but his personality...i feel connected with him on another level. It sounds corny but it feels like we were meant to meet...obviously we were lol Maharaajs hukum but i meet loads of people many amazing people but just this one guy has touched me so deep...i feel like theres a solid soul connection. And whats weird is that he feels the exact same way. I know his not lying...he is possibly the most truthful person ive come across. I know him inside out now. So yeah we have this amazing thing where we both feel the same way about each other and both feel like there is a much deeper meaning to it. Its something neither of us have ever felt. So my question is...what is this? All this has me really confused. I dont know what to make of it anymore. I've tried ignoring him and walking away, tried putting him off etc but none of it works...i can not stop talking to him. I've given up fighting it... And to be honest, i am no longer sure i want to stop talking to him. Coz what we have is so unique. Neither of us have experienced it. I am taking all this as Maharaajs hukum...i honestly dont know where i would be without this guy now. Though i dont agree wth most labels, i can say with all surety that i am not homosexual. Nor bisexual. Im a kesadhari Singh...very much into Sikhi, an integral part of me. I have always wanted to get married to a woman with whom id have 3/4 children lol! but right now i can not see past this guy. I want to spend my life with this person whos so attached to my soul. I could happily live a life of celebacy just to be with this guy...thats how i feel right now. I'd appreciate people not jumping to conclusions and assuming this is some kaam related thing or that i am trying to justify homosexuality. Im not against it either. Its fine in its own place...not my business or the point of this post. It sounds weird even as i read it back to myself but this is the reality of it. I guess im looking for someone to tell of a similar thing...im not sure. I just dont need bakwaas cheap digs. Please do yourself a favour and keep them to yourself. If anyone has anything worth saying, please reply. I apologise if i offend anyone, it is not my intention.

SSA Sangat ji... I am still going to school making my A levels.... In the last. Recently I have many toughts about my future.. I dont really know what I want to be!! I mean I have no real interests... I just play some games on computer, and search trough Sikhi (Sikh videoes, kathas all stuff about Sikhi)after I come home from school... then I watch some youtube videos.. and the day is over.. On weeknds I go jobbing... Almost every day is the same! My grades are average/good .. I don´t study at all .. I just pay attention to the lessen.. and get my grades.. I am the kind of person who never learns or very rarely learns for tests and stuff.. And if I have to hand out homeowkr I alway do it on the deadline! For example I have to hand out an presentation at the 20.th december, I will start on the 19.th at 9 pm and will finish it at 1 -2 am .... I dont know why?!?! I try everything to do my work earlier but nothing helps... I always end up doing my work a day before deadline ! What is wrong with me?? I just browse youtube and read stuff related to Sikhi , Sikhi is my only REAL interesting... Why is this so?? I sometimes think to stop my a levels and just search for a job ... But I fear my parents.. they want me to become a docotr or stuff... They would never accept a bad occucipation for me... but I just want to work.. I am done with school and stuff this is just annoying for me... I mean my parents would be very sad if I would become a secreterial or something like that.. I just dont know... everything is fckd up please help me...... and give solutions...

I got my results from my Higher School Certificate today.... they are horrible. I was expecting somewhere in the mid 90's, but all my marks are in the high 70's to low 80's. I honestly dont understand, I worked really hard for this. I didn't do too great in the external exams, but this is rock bottom! I believe I am a decent Sikh, I have never really committed a kurehat, I do my paath and simran daily. I have yet to chakk amrit, but I try to follow the path of a Gursikh on a daily basis. I got an ardaas done at the Gurudwara for my results, did 201 jaaps of Chaupee sahib and numerous other paaths and ardaas. I know that I shouldnt have expected much, but I seeked the help of my guru, and I felt really close to Whaguru for once. I felt as though all my problems were miniscule and would wash away in an instance with my guru by my side. Someone please provide me with some guidance, I have taken a hukamnama which has consoled me to an extent, but I need someone to help me understand, because at the moment, I feel very disheartened. I know this is just a 'number' and just a facet of Maya, but knowing that Waheguru is so great, and considering I worked hard both in my studies and spiritually, I am wondering why this has happened... must be my karam (

Gurfeteh Jee when trying to edit my post in the following topic: http://www.sikhsangat.com/index.php?/topic/68569-today-in-sikh-history/ i get the following erro TypeError: Cannot all method "getText" of undfined I would like to edit the first post on a daily basis to include a video please advice

I have recently completed filming a movie for school, on the Kirpan. The movie is going to be 15 minutes in length and is documentary style. As I am the only Sikh in the school I decided that highlighting the importance of the Kirpan to the white people will be important. The idea was warmly received by my classmates and teachers. In the editing stage subtitles will be added to the movie in English. But I have run into 4 problems. 1.) I need footage, an establishing shot, of Darbar Sahib in India showing Sikhs wearing Kirpan. These Sikhs can be anyone from sevadars to Granthis to devotees. 2.) I need footage, extremely good footage, of Sikhs playing gatka with real shastars. Please avoid providing any footage with Sikhs dressed in Western style clothing. 3.) I need good army or military music to go with my movie. 4.) I need footage of Puratan Singhs fighting with swords and a picture of Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji with his two kirpans and Guru Gobind Singh Ji asking for a head to create the Khalsa. Can anyone tell me where I can acquire the above from for free please? Once my movie is finished I will upload it onto Youtube and provide links. Thank you very much.
