Ban the mela I say, boys and girls go around ''picking'' each other up. - Eh kaam ki faria!!

that is very true and that how these fights start, then lead into big things. thats why we need to teach the true meaning of sikhi to the young kids as they will soon be the next generation and we need to set strong foundations for them, if not then the panth will fall, the mella should not be banned but yet used in a way to teach the kids, e.g. gathka, path, simran etc

what do you guys think ?

That's what I hate. In new york mela's are so awesome. Even respectful GORA's come to and get food and talk. One day I was in line and this GORA from the empire state building came and we were talking. He said "Great food, is it a holiday today" I said yes and its called VaiSakhi. He said "whats that" then I sent him to my parents because I myself can not explain what VaiSakhi is.

Can someone give it a chance and explain to me what VaiShaki is? I would love to know. My parents have told me and I love going. But lately it's just a bunch of garbage. Seeing girls and guys picking each other up. Too many Western Sikh's. I myself am a OLDSCHOOL Sikh. I actually go there to be proud of my religion. Not, because I have to with my parents or to pick up girls/guys(most sikh's i've meet use these reason all the time).

We need to show the general sikhi youth what sikh is about before they get the age of 14+ and start going to the Mela as a way of meeting someone.

Also im proud of arrange marriage. It's been done for so long and my whole family obiviously as I am first generation of my family born outside of india. But, as I was saying, arrange marriage has been working out. Although, If I fall in love I can not control that. But, atm im 16 and havent even start or done anything that comply's with dating so im pretty sure arrange marraige is for me. I still have college but anyway thats my point.

--Offtopic--

Anyone, a Sikh, do you date or getting arrange marriage. My opinion is built on the fact that I think we sikh's are "surppose" to get arrange marraige. Although, I do not know what guru ji say's about love and life partner. But, I would like to find out by someone here.

Cheers,

-Sikh.

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
