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.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh Ji

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:

    • 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.
