WJKK WJKF,

I have decided to let go all of my friends, their all pretty much entangled with either drugs/girls/gambling, and I would like to meet sangat who are decent and hardworking.

I goto the gurdwara all the time, but I never am able to meet new people there, its funny we see people all the time there, but we dont know their names, what they do. Hence, I have decided maybe its perhaps better if I invest my time in some volunteer organizations. Can anyone think of anything or how they met individuals who helped them in their career or life goals?

Lastly, I live in Vancouver, I was thinking of either the Downtown Rotary Club. :wub:

Well most of us are from the land of England situated many many miles away from you :T:

Now, go to the Gurdwaras in the vicinty and get into a conversation with sangat and involved in events organised by the Gurdwaras. I did this and i met a bunch of Gursikhs, and it was awesome! - I hope you're not shy or my suggestion may not work

Congrats that you've seen that your current friends are not the sangat you want to keep, but isn't that harsh? Keep in touch and who knows once you've started practicing Sikhi, it will rub off on them too :e:

    • 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.
