i think sitting on the floor is correct seven kings sabha gurdwara and karamsar gurdwara (sorry for spelling mistakes) have got it right i usually go to the neville road one in east london its nice all done up BUT use chairs and thats wrong to me personally.

but u know what sikhs who aint into sikhi that much wont care becuase to them its just a chair u know and when u try and explain it to them why i sit on the floor and not above Guru Maharaj all they give u is funny looks.......

BTW im NOT referring to the bibia in the pictures im talking bout those people who could sit on the floor but choose not to (the healthy non disabled/old people)

Some of you are sick fanatical individuals. One women clearly has a zimmer frame in the picture for God's sake. That is the silver walking frame incase you never noticed it. That means she find it difficult to walk without support!

You need to get a life.

Ok Balaitee Sher made a good point about it..

bit on the other hand..

over reaction? rolleyes.gif lol

We have a woman who comes ina wheelchair into darbar hall..

while another wheelchaired man prefers struggling up the stairs (can extend his knees so he makes lil steps up stairs) - That's sharda init.. :lol:

Guru Ji's darbar is open to all - disabled or not. If people start bringing up chairs just for the sake of it - "cant sit on the floor coz i cant be bothered" kind of attitude - then call me fanatic or whatever u like but the answer from me is no :)

yaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwn

oh please - you mean that little old bibi sitting in the chair? next to the zimmerframe?

are you her physician? did you bother talking to her about it? is the rest of Sangat blissfully unaware of her physical abilities? or did you see her sitting in the presence of Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj and felt SO outraged that like a true saint soldier you stood there and took her picture and posted it on the forum?

who knows maybe the bibia at your GuruGhar have more himmat than the naujawans. maybe this precious moment of your time could have been better spent focusing your energy in the direction of Guru Ji instead of at this old lady. i dunno.

yes at the age of 60 Guru Amar Das Ji showed respect by walking backwards whilst fetching water for Guru Angad Dev Ji to never turn his back, yes we should show maximum respect as possible for Guru Maharaj but the duty is left on each of our own heads anyway!

why cant we just focus on ourselves? a member of my family is a bazurug in a wheelchair and is prevented from seeing Guru Maharaj because the truth is these days we got no love.

Khalsa ji's,

My motives for posting these pictures are being questioned. Over the next few years we are going to have more and more people asking for chairs to be placed in the Divan halls, just like what happened in the langar halls. Maybe some time in the future we will all be sitting on chairs.

Now when non Sikhs are coming to Gurudwara for wedding etc, they are too requesting chairs.

This will be an issue for us to deal with in the next few years, hence for need for this discussion, at this Guruhar there were empty chairs in the Divan hall, up stairs, and there are numerous empty chairs left behind after wedding in the Divan halls.

This is not a debate of disable access to Gurudwara, which I fully agree needs to be addressed.

the bibiji looks like she cant really walk properly.... so i understand no one shud be higher than maharaj.. but it comes to the point.. where ppl say wheel chairs shud be allowed... all im sayin is... ppl have difficulties and problems... we shud'nt let that stop them from coming into sangat etc

pull chuk marf....

plz dont start any bashing!

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
