we should organize a World Sikhi Union.. :@

so that certain matters can be discussed and also can bond up all the sikhs around the world...we need to educate the younger generation abt sikhi...if not...sikhi will just go away without us realizing it... :) @

action needs to be taken...we have to educate everyone..not only the young ones..but also the elderly ones so that they know their responsibility to educate others...

something has to be done soon...or...well...i wouldn't want to mention wat might happen... :@

I agree to most points above

espc Khalsa 4 eva veer-

AHEAD OF JEWS. Yet, Jews are still known globally, maybe after Nazi Germany. But how many are well aware of the 1984 attack none? Whose to blame? OUR LEADERSHIP? Yes, the Jews have their own country, and Jews everywhere are united.

Judiaism is like 4500 yrs old than Sikhiskm

Jews are known for being the 'starters' of the semetic religions,

henc eth ebiggest religion :@

ONE BENTI TO ALL SINGHS & SINGHNIAN

The day we start dressing in BANA, the day we have a uniform, we WILL BE RECOGNIZED!!

What we need is 'BANA & BANI' in us. I was reading this passage on the uniform. And the author says, If someone is in uniform, we automatically figure out the history behind that person, and what he/she represents.

For example, a police officer in uniform, we give them respect, because of the amount of training they've done, and what position they hold in society.

A U.S. Marine, who is in uniform, stands out from the crowd, and people know what he/she represents.

We are the fauj of DHAN DHAN Guru Gobind Singh ji maharaj, we're the knights of God, we have to show that, we have to be in BANA, and show the significance of our history, of our past, then people will learn to respect it, and honour that.

Sorry for the long post, just my two cents! ^_^

Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

Even though Sikhs have been in the UK for a number of years some man things still don’t happen when they should. last year in Birmingham a gang of muslims cut of a sikh teens kesh when he was on his paper round.

sikhs still face so much discriminatinon last week a sikh was not allowed in the London EYE because he had a kirpan. They said no weapons even though the law says the kirpan is an article of faith. Its not security as a number of Sikhs have been with kirpans.

comities of gurudwaras should do more youth pograms and invite schools colleges etc to see gurudwara and raise awarness. I go to gatka classes at gurudwara but even that we pay for our selves for shusters, etc. even though the comitee have money and sangat is willing to give they wont spend it on the youth. They even tried to stop classes.

They need to help raise awareness in society and overcome ignorance. People will cal you stuff like arab, bin laden, but maybe we should blame our selves for not educating them. In primary school cildren do a whole book on India and hindus but 2 pages if that on sikhi.

A while back a talk show host wrote an article for the news paper and said things about arabs, etc. the article was actually published a year earlier but was republished by mistake and he was sacked by the BBC and had to issue a apology. But when some one says something about Sikhs u complain as individuals but nothing happens. Theres no legal sikh org like in U.S. but there is a need.

Look at mother taresa she was great I cant say she weren’t he got somany awards, etc by so many states, etc and on the other hand look at Pringlewara, bha

i sahib Puran singh hes done so much but was he recognised NO, why he was SIKH. He didn’t convert people he did great things but because there is or was no sikh/panjabi media. We need sikh run media such as Panjab radio, sikh times, etc. Panjab radio opened in UK and withi 2 yrs along can another 4 radio stations. Its ridiculous we need asikh TV station as Alpha is rubbish. They couldn’t even record 2min of opening of kar seva, etc but they can finih early to play bhangra videos.

Pull chuk maff

sorry its so long

I think I posted this somewhere else too, but I'll say it again.

Just like the Muslims are now, its only when some big catastrophe happens that people switch back to being sikh... we haven't had something big for a while (20yrs?) so we're all lazy and just don't put our effort forward.

Saheed Bhai Fauja Singh said the same thing. He said Sikh blood will be split every 20-25 (I can't recall the exact time scale he gave) because Sikhs have become lazy.

But's its great that we as the next generation are picking up on these issues. At least with Guru Ji's kirpa we won't make the same mistakes our elders and leaders made. I strongly believe if we can educate our generation then we can have a stronger future. After all we will grow to be elders and some of us leaders.

And I also think we need more educated professional Singhs and Singhnia in the professions and in the public eye. I think that would help to educate the masses on what true sikhi is. A lot of people are confusing it with panjabi culture, bhangra and stuff.

Bhull Chuk Maaf!

    • 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.  
    • Author Posted April 24   On 4/21/2025 at 2:43 PM, ipledgeblue said: sirr should not be nanga because keski is usually worn.   Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . 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?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj.
