I had the same problem a while ago. It seems like there so much hera feri right? what i did was that i youst to learn tabla and instead of waiting for the granthi ji that tought me downstairs in the ragghi rooom (where all the politics go on usually) i would go upstairs do guru ji di sewa on chohr sahib or just do some simran. All i can advise is that you go to gurdwara for Pilgrimage aand keep your mind on just that.

Try to look into to see if there are any sangat type programs in your area. What I've noticed is that these sorts of programs usually don't have any politics or anything involved, and are usually strictly for the keertan and simran. The other alternative is to decide what days/times to goto gurdwara.

I know here at least when they have "major congregations" there is a LOT more politics and stuff going on, but there are smaller programs, saturday nights or sunday nights where its just some local sangat who get together for keertan.

IK ONG KAR SATGUR PARSAD!

I can understand how you feel about it.

Take it this way..

Every human is born to do his *karam kamayee*.. let the political minds do theirs! However, do not let this fact deter you from visiting the Gurudwara. Keep yourself and your mind focussed on IK ONG KAR.. and he will take care of the rest.

Bhul chuk maaf karnee ji!

[KHaNdA_NaTioN]

What kind of reason is that for not going to the gurudwara?

Man u should have enuff sense that u go to the gurudwara to get Guru Ji's Kirpa, not worrying about political "fights"

I experienced the same a little over a year ago - it happens. Seeing stupid things throws you off. The only way I got through it is by going anyway. Slowly, I started noticing when there was Kirtan, and where there were speeches, etc. and scheduled myself around that.. so maybe go when the Kirtan/Katha happens, and go do Sevaa while speeches and campaigns and stuff are going one. And I really like Jagdeep Singh Veerji and Khalsa4Ever's suggestions - attend smaller programs, early/late programs. For example, Asa di Vaar at Guruduara Sahib Fremont. Not too many people, and it's just Kirtan. Or try attending Raensabaaees, etc. or Simran programs - you know, not regular diwan time when the Darbar is crowded with people talking and babies crying. Then, once you get used to it, you can merge into regular Diwan time again, with sort of an immunity to all the things that bothered you before.

Worked for me! :umm: I can only pray it works for you too.

My friend Avtar and I are working on some satirical Qawalis and cavishris making fun of gurdwara politics. I find it rather funny, all these old people fighting over the KIDS gatka, the KIDS punjabi school, the KIDS's camps, etc.

join a Gatka Akhara or Punjabi school or something, that way you'll have to go to the Gurdwara
