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

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

Balwinder Singh ji:

Your lucky man, I think my relatives are whack :umm: @ . I never heard of anyone celebrating Lohri like you do. my ppls (i mean relatives) give ladoo for a baby boy, my ppls roast turkey sometimes for thanksgiving, my ppls have party for christmas and new year. this was first time after a long LONG time that i went to gurdwara on new year's eve.

at the risk of soundin jealous of my cute lil bro, i think it's a really stupid cultural tradition to "revere" boys more than girls. my mom's side of the family was sooo excited when he was born. my dad's side couldn't care less, cuz they've got too many guys there neways. he got everything for his first year. they gave out laddoos, they did the entire shabang for vaisakhi and a whole bunch of other things.

but... the worst part is they expected me to tie a rakhri on him. i did it the first couple of years cuz i didn't know any better and partly cuz the dough was flowin, if u know what i mean. but then i realized that i dun rely on my bro for support since i'm a Singhnee, so i didn't do it this year. my mom was so mad! :umm: it was pure jokes. but the best part is that since i didn't do it, and i'm his "real" sister (as in immediate family as opposed to just bein a cousin sister), my younger and older cousins didn't do it either. hahaha!

as for this foeticide crap... :D tha's just wrong. ppl need to use their brains. this stuff isn't ne better'n sati, and the Guru's din exactly approve of that. so why should we treat this thing as any different? it's wrong. wrong wrong wrong.

but the real question is: how do we spread the word and get them to stop? us sittin here talkin bout how wrong it is isn't gonna ge

t nething done. neone know if there's nething that can be done? apart from dealin with it properly in ur own life?

    • 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.
