Hi Kamal Singh,

I am from Vancouver myself, if you are a youth, here's a couple of places for you to talk and get a better indepth of knowledge of Sikhism.

Try Sukh Sagar Gurdwara in New Westminister, this gurdwara is pretty much very youth oriented, and the head preacher - Bhai Bikramjit Singh is like a Saint in my eyes, he's very pro-youth, and he's a young guy himself. He'll definitely be able to help you out further.

The next thing to do would be to check out Yoga West on West Broadway and Alma or something, basically its actually a yoga center that has a gurdwara and you'll see many people who have adopted the Sikh faith, there. You might people who were sort of in a similar situation like yourself, and changed their lives by using the Sikh faith.

Anyhow if you have any questions, please feel free to pm me. Best of luck with your recovery!

Hey, I can't just "check them out" because I live in Victoria. So I need to be able to phone them and arrange it or something. I don't know how this works could you help me? My name is Patrick until then, just so you know.

You are so lucky...

So many people are born into Guru Nanak's house and they still unable to see the greatness of it...

I'm so happy for you...

.........................

A question though:

What inspired you to become a gursikh?

Sat nam, I was always a Sikh at heart. So when I found out that there were others with the same set of believes it clicked for me.

waheguru ji ka khalsa, waheguru ji ki fateh!

congrats and good luck on your recovery and your chosen path.

one bit of advice... you might want to wait till the methadone course is done before taking amrit, because methadone is an intoxicant in itself and should not be used by amritdhari sikhs.

on the other hand, recieving amrit may be enough to end the methadone itself. Guru ji has given us a very powerful gift in amrit! it can and will change your life.

waheguru ji ka khalsa, waheguru ji ki fateh!

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

I'de like to thank everyone once again for their kind replies.

I've watched Insights into Sikhism before, I just don't know about the whole Kundalini Yoga crowed. Waheguru Simran is the only Yoga needed.

I've been reducing my methadone -5 mg every 2 weeks, which has left me sick in bed. I still am able to do my Bani though. Waheguru is keeping me going.

This Sunday I will be getting out of bed and hopefully will feel well enough to visit the Gurudwara Sahib.

    • 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.
