I think the complex is to commrecial now personally I believe every building around the complex including roads leading up to the complex need to be demolished and replaced with a massive park , eg: Picture hyde park with the Golden Temple Complex in the middle with small path ways leading up to the complex.At the moment its a mess the road leads right up to the gate shops oppsosite - too commrecial not to mention pollution damage ,lets hope some sort of park green space is made around the complex and I hope the shops and roads vanish

No need to worry. Before the formation of Khalsa Raaj in Punjab, lots of destruction will happen and all this crap around Sri Harmandir Sahib will be blown away. Its pretty near, we will see it in our lifetimes if we survive the next few years.

Whole of Sri Amritsar Sahib will be like one 1 Big Gurdwara, 1 big spiritual Village, it will be like Sachkhand.

Not sure about the ending to the video about not going or if you are don't take your kids or anyone else :S

But yes, I think I agree it what you are saying generally in terms of repair and attitude. Just not to keen on the way you have presented it... how could Harmandar Sahib ever be the Golden Shame?

great idea. that's exactly what congress did when they "fixed up" harimandir sahib after bluestar. they demolished the shops of hundreds of hard working Sikh merchants, forcing them to move to areas where there was less foot traffic, and less business. my father in law was one of these Sikhs who were forced to move. Congress said they'd pay for the shops, but it took more than 20 years for him to get any reparation money from the gov't, and they paid according to '80's land values. they were lucky, back then it was still possible to purchase shop space for a reasonable amount of money (though not in amritsar proper). though a lot of hard work over the years, the space where they moved to has flourished. but today, it's simply not possible for small business owners to relocate anywhere in or near amritsar. land prices there incredibly inflated.

so sure, create a nice green park and destroy hundreds or thousands of sikh families in the process. all so it "looks pretty".

there's already a garden around it, why not beautify that existing area, rather than smashing the shops that feed so many families?

i suppose in this golden age no one will need to eat or work or feed their families? to which location will you relocate everyone who's shops and homes you destroy?

    • Gurfateh Sangat Ji,   Recently came across this GoFundMe for this Singh and his treatment. Let's contribute if we can.  https://www.gofundme.com/f/my-husband-needs-fund-for-his-cancer-treatment-?viewupdates=1&rcid=r01-173944584254-bf0b275700784313&utm_medium=email&utm_source=customer&utm_campaign=p_email%2B1137-update-supporters-v5b     Gurbar Akaaluhhh    
    • All 10 sikh gurus are Surya vanshi Jats. Bedi trehan bhalla and sodhi are descended from Surya vsnhi king Dasrath father of Sri ram, laxman, Bharat, and shatrugunah.  Sri ram birth lav and kush from whom bedi and sodhi come, Bharat bhalla, and laxman trehan guru angad dev jis gotra.  That's why the sikh gurus military capital aka Akal Takhat had Surya vanshi flags. Hari Mandir was also constructed after Babar destroyed Ram Mandir as a symbol that Ram Chanders legacy and descendants were still alive in kal yug and that the resistance to invaders was fully active.  The British created the sgpc to suppress this knowledge as they wanted to divide sikhism from its roots so they could divide and rule, as punjab was the last region that had not come under their pay check. False parchariks under the East India Comlany pay roll manufactured the divide between sikh and hindu when in fact they are the same thing. This divide eventually led to Operation Blue Star.    Bhul chuk maf karna.  Their original clan flag
    • Ik i'm a few (13) years late but basically: Get a single Mal-mal dastar (around 3-5 metres) and starch it. You just whisk 2 ladles of starch (Kershaw's, cornstarch or maida) with around 5 cups of water until it's completely smooth and mix it on low heat flame for around 20 mins until it goes clear and think like water. When this cools off, take a clean but damp turban and soak it into the starch and make sure you coat the whole dastar evenly You leave it out to hang dry in the sun/air. Once dry u can store it in a cool, dry place until you wanna tie it (for about 4 months) Take the dastar, sprinkle some water all throughout the turban to make it slightly wet and just soft enough to tie. Then you and another person hold the dastar at each end to make a stretched rectangle (two people holding one corner in each of their hands). Fold it in half width-wise 3 times. Tie the turban like this quite loosely. The starch will make it tighter as it dries BUT TIE IT STAIGHT ONTO YOUR HEAD. NO MINi-TURBAN BENEATH IT. JUST TIE YOUR FLATTENED JOORA ON TOP OF YOUR HEAD AND THE DASTAR DIRECTLY ON TOP Secure it with pins and wear it on your head until it has dried from the water you sprinkled before the pooni. After it has completely dried (give it around 3-4 hours just to make sure) you take it off your head DO NOT UNWRAP IT TAKE IT OFF IN IT'S SHAPE and the next time you need to wear you can just place it on your head over your flattened joora instead of tying this. You can do this for around 5 months after you first tied it until you have to ever tie it again.
    • I tie a Punjabi style dastar with starch. Why do people hate this so much? Once when I was tying my dastar my neck seized up and the apna doctor said staying in that position daily for more than 5 mins is dangerous. He recommended a starched pagg like his dad. And I respect my pagg more than my life. I put it on the top shelf of my cupboard whenever it isn't on my head, recite Waheguruji da naam whenever I am tying my joora, fifty and when i place the Dastar on my head and I mata thek and kiss  it before I do. And when I do tie it (every 4 months when the starch starts to weaken) I make sure that I pooni and tie it with much love and whilst reciting paath. I get that if someone treats their turban like a hat (eg: throwing it on the floor, cramping it or just disrespecting it) then this is unacceptable but just cos one puts their pagg on their head rather than tying it each time doesn't mean they treat it as such. (and let's be honest, starched or not we've all put our dad's pagg on our head like a hat when we were kids as a joke and meant no disrespect. Intention is everything). Ik Singhs who get angry tying their pagg and start doing maa/phen di gaaliyan, and when they take it off they just throw to the side and wait to tie it again next time. (Also, I'm from a Jat Sikh family so pls don't try to make this about "starched paggs are tarkhan/caste based" or anything stupid like that). PS: I do remember that stupidness in the 90s/early 2000s UK when Sikh men used to have a tiny starched paggs and were completely clean shaven or had a little goatee like Herbie Sahara/ Vijay from achanak. Now THAT was stupid and deserves all the hate but I just mean the concept of a starched dastar whether it's Punjabi Style, Kenyan style or whatever
