Vaheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa!!

Vaheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

sangat jeeo...the nagar kirtan (surrey) yesterday was probably one of the best i've ever been too...i met so many chardi kala gursikhs

however..there were a few things that didnt belong in teh nagar kirtan

There was a float based solely on punjabi culture...it had little girls dressed in fancy punjabi suits and little boys with the traditional farmer look...nothing against punjabis celebrating the harvest season and all, but this is a nagar KIRTAN... held for vaisakhi... so we had the punj piarey followed by guru sahib at the front of the nagar kirtan and then at the end there were these little children waving around their colouful punjabi-style fans (and i think they were even playing punjabi songs).

another thing...this is just sad...my sister and i found a cigarette...in the parking lot of Dasmesh Darbaar Gurdwara...which is just soo pathetic.

who in their right mind would be so careless and ignorant enough to bring a CIGARETTE to a gurdwara??? so close to where there's sangat and guru granth sahib jee?? im still pretty shocked by this...

other than that, it was pretty awesome.

i also attended the week long Vaisakhi celebrations at Dasmesh Darbar. As you know, due to the arrival of the amusement rides in the parking lot and due to the construction of the new building, there are alot of construction workers are carnival ppl around. The cigarette must have been theirs.

Think about it, even a Punjabi person who is not into Sikhi would not dare smoke a cigarette in the Gurdwara Sahib complex. If anybody saw him he would be insulted and probably beaten up. So, its likely the cigarette belonged to either a construction worker or one of the carnival ppl there.

ok well i hope it wasn't someone who came there to actually go to the gurdwara...but i think they should put up no smoking signs...if there's gonna be non sikhs there.

If anybody saw him he would be insulted and probably beaten up. 

actually...that's what i thought too...but i told my brother about the cigarette and he told me that he even saw someone smoking on gurdwara grounds once...and i asked him if he did anything about it...and he's like "no...if they're going to hell its none of my business"

so not everyone will do something about a situation like that

Regarding thew little kids in Punjabi suits??

So what, the vasaiki parade is not only about religion, but about celebrating Sikhism. The parents of those kids were probably so proud of them.

Miss Gurjeet Kaur, have you ever seen vasaiki in India? Now that's a site!

:umm:

    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
