A Query From Us Singhnees


Recommended Posts

Yeh, it can work... but there's certain situations where there is no compromise... for example... if a singh believes in dastar, and a bibi doesn't, and she refuses to wear one, then that mite put them in a tite situation... 'cause neither mite be willin to compromise their belief... then there's other issues such as being sarbloh bibeki or raag maala or even the amrit vela routine... sometimes small things (as well as big things) can make or break a situation...

no 2 situations are the same, and each one may have a different outcome...

in the situation above where the bibi believed in keski, it doesn't make much of a diff (i don't think) because the singh is already wearing a dastaar, and obviously he doesn't mind dastaar on bibian if he married a dastaar-walee bibi... and i'm sure he wouldn't mind his kids wearing dastaars either.... but if the roles were switched, then it mite become a big issue...

what do u guyz think?

Vaheguroo ... They are making decisions based on what they believe.. if a singh says no to a bibi or a bibi says no to a singh because they believe certain things they do not wish to see compromised then who are we to judge them for being 'bad people' hunna?

is like an individual askin another individual to go against their beliefs if they want to be married to them because they believe their belief to be the only right one

Personally, i don't think the individual should be 'judged' because they believe in a certain rehit..

Heera Singh,

In response to your question...I definetely think it can work out between two people if they have different rehits....but it depends on the situation. Let's say for example...the girl or guy does not wake up for amrit vela regularly than this could be an issue because it can impact the other partners progress in Sikhi.

However, if it is over a dastaar issue like the above Singh mentioned...then I don't see any reason why it can't work and I personally don't believe that this is a reason to not marry someone. Let me give you scenario...would you rather marry a bibi who has a keski, but does not help you in progressing in your Sikhi...or would you rather marry a bibi who doesn't wear a keski but does help you in your progress? In my humble opinion, I feel that marriage is a union which fundamentally involves love, respect, trust as well as compromise. A marriage will always work (if this is over the keski issue) as long as each partner has respect for one another's rehit (if they are different). The most important thing to keep in mind is that each partner should help one another in maintaining their rehit (e.g. wake up during amrit vela together). I personally know a couple who have been in this situation (girl doesn't wear keski but guy believes in it) and they are happily married now. And the main reason why their marriage works is because they have learned to respect each other's rehit...

This is just my two cents...

bhul chuk maaf

Vaheguru...

sat naam veerji/bhenji... what you say does make sense.. but like i said, every situation is different.. when it comes to the dastaar issue, sometimes there can be compromises made, sometimes there can't... it all depends on the 2 people involved... and i agree that wearing a dastaar doesn't necessarily mean a persons spiritual avastha is higher.. but like sum1 else said... a person mite not be willin to compromise their beliefs... but again, thats their own personal thing i guess..

Vaheguru...

wow......vahe-guru

A lot has changed here from last night. Jai tegang I know your feeling bad. These kind of comments can do more harm then good, if you understand what I'm saying.....A bibi will read that and decide>> thats it I'm throwing this distaar, its ruining my my life, I'm not normal and these facial hairs and other things are making me look ugly, no ones going to marry me.

Before I took amrit those issues were always holding me back to take it because I loved my normal looking girl outer but my mind was falling in love with Guru Sahib ji.

So you can see how your comments may have really hurt last nite.....If I said anything wrong...apologies too.

Trust Heere singh to hijack me topic.... :wub: ...lol....just kiiding, it kind of relates and ultimately helps everyone. but lets not completely turn away from the previous question either.

I am sure others have opinions left to share yet. There are many bibiyian out there feeling just as saddened about marriage issues right now.....like me wondering if there really are real Gursikhs left in the world and do most of the singhs do this when choosing a partner.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
