Finding Out Who I Am

Ok well i was just like to say that i was born into a moderate Sikh family and my cousons and i all were patka/turbans unlike our fathers probably due to the 84 incident however i never knew anything about real Sikhi. Some of my cousons (older than me) take drugs, gamble, sleep around, drink and yet call themselves Sikhs, ive learned alot about real Sikhi in the past few weeks and what i truely believe in since i was hardly taught anything from my parents apart from some main Sikhi history and from the panjabi school i used to go to. The thing is i too am guilty of sins (mainly lust) but my heart has also been touched by the presence of waheguru. Everyday for some reason which i dont know of i keep finding myself thinking of God and everything 'he' has given to me when i have prayed, for 'he' has given me great exam results, a humble heart and much much more. I feel ever indebted to 'him' but i see my family as totally different as in not real Sikhs for my father swears and drinks alot and many of the men in my family call themselves Jatts and hold there heads up high by practising the caste system, my dad makes me go to the gurdwara for free roti every sunday whereas i would rather go on my own accord to listen to the bani. I know it might sound stupid but i have a strong feeling that i have converted to Sikhism and would just like to know about other peoples experiences with their families.

I think that is just beautiful, the Grace that has been bestowed upon you is beyond words. Keep the flame lit, let your Simran(rememberance) of him create more thirst, let it burn within you...pray, beg for such a pain that could only be comforted by his Love...Ask for such a Love that could only be satisfied with Meeting...Ask for such Meeting with the Divine Mother that surrenders your ego and leave only that which is True. Let Shukar Hai, Shukar Hai be your daily prayer.

I am joyous for you my veer or bhen...im so joyous for you.. Wahh Guru

As for your family, let them come to the path on their own. Light yourself first with love and compassion. Fill your cup first so that you may be able to share what have been given with others.

dont treat waheguru as far away.. nor as a "god"..

actually try making them your mate.. someone to talk 2.. someone 2 ask 4 a fava.. dont be afraid of them.. fall in love instead.

JIN PREM KEEYO TIN HEE PRABH PAYO - Those who feel love for him can reach Him.

You are one brave singhni, no matter how bad your circumstances have been you still managed to get this far.. All Guru Ji's Kirpa. Dont worry about anything, it all happens for a reason ie: You may not have been a humble person if you got into Sikhi the "easy way".. if you get what I mean.

just leave everything In Guru Ji's hands - Your best mate :lol:

    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj. 
    • best thing is to follow the Sikh Rehat Maryada and use common sense for gray areas. Anything outside of that's irrelevant tbh that code is what Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the 5 Pyaare agreed on when creating Amrit in 1699
