What Is Wrong With Us


Recommended Posts

this past sunday June 04, 2006, marked the 22nd anniversary of the of the Martyrdom of the <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Blue_Star>Akal Takhat… </a> and well when I arrived to sangaat at gurdwara, I was late…. Then after hukamnaama and bhog, the secretary does announcements.. strangely there was no announcement of Operation Bluestar, I didn’t make any mention of it to the secretary b/c I thought for sure it probably happened earlier in sangaat….

WRONG

Instead I open my e-mail 8am Monday morning and I get this

<em><h5>Dear Fellow Sikhs,

Twenty years ago yesterday, Sri Durbar Sahib complex was attacked by the Indian Armed Forces and this lead to the destruction of Sri Akal Takhat Sahib. No one mentioned a word about this in the Gurdwara Sahib yesterday and I am equally guilty of this. <b>Just a reminder so that we may never forget this.</b> It is probably alright to forgive but our future generations must be told of what happened.</h5></em>

I couldn’t believe it not a single person in sangaat remembered… its so odd b/c usually every other Sunday someone on the board rants about the politics in sikhi… they usually make announcements after Hukamnaama , but before <a href=http://www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php?title=Kara_Parshad>Degh</a>.. and that rant usually last for 20 mins… the one I distinctly remember the most is well on the day of Vaisakhi, the secretary gave his speech about “Brahmanism and the khalsa”, he sounded really confused by it, and the bhai sahib did a very sweet katha, on the importance of taking amrit, sadly it was in Punjabi… but the secretary made some highlights in English, but they were mainly forgotten inlieu of the his rants about the “laws of manu”.

Seriously one calls themselves the Sikh of the Guru, but how can you forget about the Martyrdom of the Akal Takhat, The Royal Throne of Waheguru?

I’m reminded by a quote Siri Sahib Ji said about the 1976 Nirankari Incident…

<center><h5><em>"It is a most unfortunate day in the history of the Khalsa. We have our Ministry; we have our Government; we have our Sikh majority. And people have been killed in a most merciless manner. Now things will be covered up. Truth will be totally covered. And this is a very unusual situation which we have to stand. That is why we have sent three representatives to India from here. But there is nothing to investigate. It is a simple fact to find out, and every heart knows what they are doing to us in America, what they are doing to us in Canada, what they tried to do to us in England; and wherever they are, these patits are going to attack us. They may look like Sikhs of the Guru, but their heart is not for the Guru. You can call them anything; they are chips of the same block. Their dedication is not towards the Guru, their dedication is to their personal glorification and personal earthly power." </h5></em> - <b>Siri Singh Sahib Harbhajan Singh Khalsa Yogiji</b></center>

Why can’t we ever get real leaders in Sikhi… I’m also reminded about the words of Bhai Santbir Singh Ji and Siri Sahib… those that can reflect the Shabd Guru, just as the moon reflects the light of the Sun, they are the true leaders of sikhi….

But how come now a days we only have people in power who only reflect their own EGO…. They only want to lead the gurdwara so that they can have something here when they die… don’t these “real” leaders realize that they are hurting us the youth… because we the youth are fed up….

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
