punjab can't be runned by democratic way.. They need someone who can kick their butts to keep them on right path.

I think dowry and ego is the big thing behind the less ratio of girls in punjab :@ don't ya think ??

Those are number one reasons.... I guess contuining a family name, will also come into the same category ... and also some just want male cuz of the male dominating working industry in india, for poor they 'think' it would be a benefit to them... :@:)

Satpreet ji......I have a question for u.As u said:
I am totally OPPOSED to LOHRI 

Whats so wrong abt LOHRI? :T:

I think u r refering to the same festival which we guyz celebrate togther and share sweets. right?

Bhul Chuk Maff

Balwinder Singh ji:

heres how i see Lohri: its a Hindu festival/holiday/occassion. Why do Sikhs in Punjab celebrate it? Why do Sikhs out here in foreign countries go to Punjab when they have a baby boy to celebrate Lohri in Jan? I guess thats where culture messed up our ppl :umm: @ .

Whenever I hear about anyone going to Punjab from here for Lohri it is always for a baby boy, never for a girl :D . T

Hey go there and give ladoo to everyone in the pind cuz they had a boy, but never when they have a girl :( . So that pisses me off cuz I was 2nd girl born in same year as my cousin sister, and when my grandparents in Punjab got the letter they were upset cuz I was a girl and not a boy :wub: . so there was no Lohrii for me :D . When my bro was born THEN THEY DID GIVE OUT LADOOS TO EVERYONE IN OUR PIND :D

Satpreet ji ,

I take lohri in very different perspective.Personally my family never celebrate special lohri for baby boy or baby girl.For me LOHRI is great because we all go to gurudwara sahib and I feel really nice to have gr8 sangat.I really enjoy Gurudwara sahib when there are a lotta sangat.

I dont feel bad if Lohri is a hindu festival.....becuase it give me a chance to be in sangat.

I dont feel bad if Christmas is a catholic festival.....becuase it give me a chance to be in sangat.

I dont feel bad if Thanksgiving is an American festival.....becuase it give me a chance to be in sangat.

I dont feel bad if Diwali is a hindu festival.....becuase it give me a chance to be in sangat.

I dont feel bad if new year is a western festival.....becuase it give me a chance to be in sangat.

For me everything is same "GOING TO GURUDWARA SAHIB AND HAVING GOOD SANGAT"

Thats what I feel is gr8 abt any day which belong to other communities but gives me a chance to have sangat.I will be very happy if I find sangat on every other day, I wont care if that day belong to any particular community.

I have many many hindu frndz...and I love sharing my festivals with them( many of umm were with me on Vaisakhi...and they enjoyed kirtan).I personally donot have any hard feelings for any religion in this world.So I wud like to celebrate every community's day with going to gurudwara and sitting in sangat.

Thats why LOHRI ....NEW YEAR....THANKSGIVING....DIWALI.....and any other festival brings a big smile on my face.

bloody kuri maars

i hate punjabis who do that. We keep saying islam is this that punjab and india is no better. They still set alight a daughter in law in the kitchen and say its an accident n grab the dehj list presents that was the classic one. Just 3 years ago a man in delhi roasted his wifes body parts in the home kitchen to avoid being detected for killing her. in the dhuaab region of punjab gangs of girl smugglers prowl out for girls kidnap them and send/sell them to other parts of the east. asia is a hellhole for women.

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • 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?
