Agree.. need to do that. .BUT they also need to bring the AWARENESS.. Yes one can Ban this or that, PPls who do these stuff will not stop doing it.. even after this law is in effect..

ALl i say is first we need to bring awareness, education, seminars to public on these subject before announcing such laws to public...

I have few issues regarding these bans:

1." They have banned the serving of non-vegetarian meals "

I understand from the hukamnama of Akal Takhat that Sikhs are "allowed" to eat meat if it is jhatka meat.So banning meat is not according to Sikhi.I know its a controversial issue, but Akal Takhat hukam means something.

2."dance by women on roads during baraat"

If men are allowed than why not women.If men can express their 'Khushi' then why can't women? I know people look at women differently when they dance, but this is not the solution to it.I think everybdy should have the right to express their 'Khushi'.Equality is one of the principle of sikhism.

I think all this is more cultural issue than the religious.The only good thing is banning liquor which is according to the Sikh principles.

I expect a healthy feedback from the sangat.

Bhul Chuk Maff.

well guys it clear that you have not been to 'indian-punjabi' wedding back home in punjab. the thing is that men are drinking...they are totaly sharabi. all "normal" jananian are at their own party singing songs and all. but the men are watching indian prostitutes dance at the wedding....THAT IS WHAT WOMEN ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DANCE IN THE BARAAT! if there were men prostitutes dancing...then that would be banned too. and one more thing: Meat is not allowed in the presence of Sri Guru Granth Sahib. that is why in langar their is no meat. Jathka food can be eaten when there is neccesity [no vege food around...and you are going to die].

it is simple guys: all this is written in Rehit...do you want prostitues dancing? B)

Dear Deep Singh ji!!

you said:

I been to India-Punjabi marriages back home in Punjab.I know about shrabi men.The solution to this problem is NOT to stop women from expressing their 'Khushi' or emothions.The solution is stoping liqour service in Barat.The solution is to make men understand that the women who are dancing are not 'prostitutes' they are women from respected families.Dancing is very normal thing a very normal expression, there is nothing wrong in that.The wrong thing is looking at those ladies in 'wrong' way.We should eradicate the evil,not the very normal expression i.e. dancing.I totally support the idea of expressing one's emotions regardless of gender.Men and Women should be treated equally.

I NEVER SEEN EVER SINCE ANY PROSTITUTE DANCING IN NORMAL PUNJABI MARRIAGE,I DONT KNOW ABOUT WHICH PUNJAB ARE U TALKIN ABOUT

You said:

"and one more thing: Meat is not allowed in the presence of Sri Guru Granth Sahib. that is why in langar their is no meat. Jathka food can be eaten when there is neccesity [no vege food around...and you are going to die]. "

Admin Note: Controversial Issues are not allowed. Waheguroo! Network firmly beleives and stands by the fact that meat is not allowed

in Sikhi. No pro meat topics of posts will be allowed. If you want to know more about the subject, search our archives, it has been discussed numerous times.

Also, why meat is allowed when u r dieing? If NOT eating meat is religion then why not die for that (i.e. by not eating anything except veggie) as our great Sikh died for their hair(Bhai taru ji).

Balwinder Singh ji:

1) Okey..great! ban alcohol! i agree 100%

2) okey..women should also have fun. never said that they should not.

3) And YES there are women NOT from respected families who dance at these weddings. some times famous singers are brought, and they bring some girls with them who are dancing and the sharabi men are looking at them. this happens man! now i do not know if they are prost.s or what, but still they are not members of the families....

4) I am not sure if all will agree that dancing is perfectly fine. as in Gurbani dancing has been rejected, also several Rehitnameh talk aganist them. but i agree that it is the way people dance that is wrong...or the way the men look at ladies, either they are from respected families or from some singing group who i called prost.s as i could not find a better word. that is my bad, sorry for that. :) also i am not sure how many people will think it is perfectly fine that ladies dance alongside roads as they are going with the baraat. (not that i favour men doing so)

5) Meat: here you some up some argument about meat; and i say okey...if the family wants to eat..then it is up to them. however, there are certain differences in the Panth whether meat should be eaten or not. that i believe you are aware of. i could make up some argument about meat too. but i read your post in the other forum about 'Meat?' so you will hopefully get some answars there...

and you said that men and women should be treated equally:

man...where have i s

aid they shouldn't be....if you read some of my posts back in days, i have also said lots of times that alcohol should be banned. if women are not allowed to dance...no dancing for men either! Sikhism does preach equality: but it does not mean that if one smokes or drinks, the other should also do so. it says that both men and women should not drink..smoke...or even dance (if it is lusty)

      Traveling in Punjab independently and safely (need good advice)

      By BhForce · Posted

      Umm, that's totally irrational, bro. There are plenty of prakash-dara Singhs in Punjab (less than we'd like, but still plenty). No one cares that you are sabat soorat. It isn't 1986. You can walk around in chola, kurta-pajama, or jeans. Whatever. If you want the look @dallysingh101 is referring to, just go into a cheap clothing shop (not a Western-style mall) and buy some shirts for 250 rupees or a track suit for 2000 rupees. You'll get the cheap stuff made in some sweatshop in Bombay.

      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!!
