Gurfathe Ji...

It can be understable why people do not take lungar from those who are not amritdari.

E.g... A couple of weeks ago when getting lungar (from the Gurdwara) poured into our trays from the "sewadar" we later notcied she was chewing gum....!!! That is NO WAY to be doing any sort of seva, esp when serving those with lungar.

People just dont realise what the term "sauchum" means, after approching the girl about her actions, she did not move from her stand, she stood there continuing to serve, after a couple of mins, appraoched her again and asked her if she had understood what she was just told, she said she did and that she had swallowed her gum!!!!

SO i dont blame people if they are cautious about taking lungar from others who are not amritdari.

Gurftahe Ji.

Tapoban Sikhs (and maybe AKJ Sikhs) believe only amritdharis should cook food and do seva in the gurdwara.

I think that's pathetic. Yes i agree Amrithdharee are suposed to only consume food made my Amrithdharee - fine. BUT i think it's stupid if Tapoban and AKJ Sikhs go round saying non Amrithdharee aren't supposed to fix up the food just becuase their not Amrithdharee.

NO ONE WAS BORN AMRITHDHAREE, if we don't welcome our Sikh brothers and sisters to make them feel they CAN become Amrithdharee who will? We all started somewhere so having crap like only CERTAINS can make the langer is wrong. BUT I'm not disrespecting what we've been told about only eating food prepared by Amrithdharee's but it's just wrong going into a Gurdwara Sahib and treating Sangath like that. It's our Sangath that will help us get through this ocean of Kaljug - making yourself superior to them means your breaking the boat plank by plank - soon we'll be sitting on just a raft.

At home etc have Amrithdharee make you food, in the Gurdwara Sahib there shuldn't be ANY 'must-haves'.

Wahe guru ji ka khalsa Wahe guru ji ki fateh

How far we have come from back in Guru ji's time langar and seva was done regardless who's making, who's serving and who's eating. Sharda, and love was the call of the day.

A lot has been changed. A lot has been seperated in our khalsa brotherhood, the oneness has gone and basic Love forgotten.

hmmm, im not a bibeki myself, but i hope to wen im a bit older, but im just thinking,

isnt the point of langar that anyone should be able to eat it? In that case, shouldnt it be prepared so that bibekis can also eat it? And also, isnt that sort of double standards, that in Sikhi amritdharis ideally should not be eating from non-amritdharis, but its non amritdharis cookin food at Gurdvaras, which should be setting examples?? hmmmmm...

oh and whats this about "Tapoban Sikhs", "AKJ sikhs", whos making the divides now eh?

honestly i beleive that bibi singhstah has a point, if there are bibekis out there then they can't eat at gurughars if non amritdharis are making the langar..

i dont think it should be a turn off or a like superior thing if only amritdharis make langar because it should only inspire others to take amrit and become a real sevadaar.. i think that like moneh not being able to do certain sevas n stuff like degh, ardas, parkash/sukhasan, langar n stuff is because they are not iniated into the panth yet.. if anyone could do anything an amritdhari does then whats the difference between the two..

at that rate, moneh won't even start taking amrit cuz they're like we can do everything they do, so whats the difference if i take amrit.. i think one should learn how to do the seva i.e watch and ask questions and then once u've taken amrit u'll be prepared enuff and know how to do it properly that u will be able to

    • 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!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
