Talking


Recommended Posts

wow i never knew about that. i have always thought the brother assisting sister seemed a bit like christian weddings where the father walks with the bride to the altar (i dunno just something ive thought)

it would be nice to know how different our weddings are compared to puratan times.

The only other difference that i have been told of with the weddings is the fact that the couple used to stand for the lavan and do matha teekh after each one, that way they were bowing in from of the SGGS. Whereas now we seem to walk around not only the SGGS but also the Giani whilst doing the lavan...

There are a few elders that in my family that got married this way....

Any way back on topic... Sitar girl penji said it perfectly, as a kid i used to see other people running around, they used to go and stand outside, and naturally you want to be with them, but my mum made me sit with her. Which was the best way for me to learn.

But bringing your kids to Gurdwara is the first step, i know of some kids who cant even speak Punjabi, and i feel so bad for their grand parents cause they have no way of communicating with them.

There is a 9 year old at my local gurdwara, who goes to the punjabi class. He dosnt know any punjabi, cant speak it, i feel so bad for him. His parents have put him in a great academic school (tuition fees per year are v high!!), his english vocabulary is great. But he has no knowledge about his religion / culture / where he came from. He told me that he only has to learn punjabi because his dad has property in India and when he gets older his dad didnt want him to 'embarass' him by not knowing any punjabi.

It wasnt his fault no one spoke punjabi with him as a kid, he's now finding it difficult to learn.

Those who attend the Holy congregation but adopt evil thoughts and those who begin conversation instead of paying attention to the True Word are punishable.

They sit and pretend to listen to the Shabad when in the Holy Congretation but never adopt it in their life. Those who practice corruption never obtain the fruit of attending the Sangat.

Where is the above from?

I think they should let you, there is no issues about it, its all Gurbani (i think lol).

If the Gurdwara do allow you to put it up, i strongely suggest you (and anyone else) to put it up as it will raise the awareness of the punishments of talking while Gurbani is being recited = ]

Is it Gurbani? I did not find it in Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji.

    • 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…
    • 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!!
