Waheguru ji ka khalsa,

Waheguru ji ki fateh!

Why not just go to the gurdwara when a child is born. Forget about a get together of dancing and other stuff cuz it usually just involves drinking, meat and other non-sikhi stuff. Instead of wasting time here we should encourage our family and relatives to bring the new born child to the gurdwara and let her/him hear the words of guru and let some simran get into his ear, instead of music.

I think dis will change over time wit our generation... hmmm... maybe... rolleyes.gif

yea veerjee no worries. im sorry if i sounded like i was picking on u... i certainly wasnt and didnt intend to. im just trying to drive the message home that we sikhs should be very sure of what we want and how we gonna get it. indecisiveness means half the battle lost.

IT will change with our generation. Remember most Punjabi's of our parents generation grew up in the pind and were accustomed to the Punjabi culture without great knowledge of Sikhi.

Now we have our generation, educated and with much access to information.

Lohri is totally manmat to accept it as just a punjabi culture issue. That is ignorant and not aligning to a GurSikhi lifestyle.

As veer or bhainjee pointed out earlier, why not just go to the Gurudwara Sahib and join the sangat. Or do langer dee sevaa.

in our culture we just need any excuse to celebrate (by that i mean eating/drinking ) ;) but when it comes gurdwara any excuse to get out of going there would do.

However i dont see any harm in celebrating such functions providing that we remember waheguru on these occasions. if we are to celebrate lohri because of a new born babie then the child's GENDER shouldnt be an issue. I mean what would you say to your daughter if she asked "Dad why didnt you celebrate lohri on my birth?" or "why didnt you throw a big party on my birth?"

Our gurus treated men and women equally, but since when do we do what our guru's taught.

      Concept of Sin

      By MokhamSingh · Posted

      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…

      Concept of Sin

      By BhForce · Posted

      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

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      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.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      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!!
