its getting out of control! local sangat where i live is just 2 crazy. I really need advice because im thinking of seriosuly not attending any of the programs anymore and am jsut going to stick to yearly smagams. First, none of the vajay work. we only have 1 tabla player who sometimes does not come so there is a little kid playing. and ay i add its never on beat? i might come off very rude so im sorry. im just fed up. During the kirtan there are people talking inbetween. chanaiy are incredibly off tune. aunties are singing when the kirtanie does and totally change the tune in a really awkward way. then afterwards its like a party. poeple yelling from one end to the other. and then a bunch of problems as in "i dont like her" "she sfhsfh" "he sfjhslf" and a lot of sarcastic comments.

i come home with the biggest headache ever. All this off-tune singing etc. NEVER bothered me. I was happy to listen to the gurus bani in any way but now its just hard with all this nindah etc.

so my question is, is it ok for me to leave

or should i stay

or am i over exxagerating? i

rally need sum halp :s

i know exactly how you feel. i see your trying to make the best of out it though. if you cant find any sangat that adaptes to you where you are living try moving if that the last option. maybe uni can be done somewhere else or something if you are at that age.

If Nindiya of Guru Ji is happening than make it stop.

I went to the Gurdwara recently becuase some family had an Akhand Path. So im Sitting in Guru Ji's Darbar after Ardaas and all of a sudden the whole Sangat (prety much all my family) get up and starts talking inside Guru Ji's Darbar. I mean people had their pith towards Guru Ji and stood around for a good 10 mins before going downstairs to have Langar.

Nindiya happens alot but we must be the ones who must stop it and educate people. Some of those things you said would not happen if people realised who Guru Ji really is and what Guru really means. If that could be understood then alot of this would never happen.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
