aww bhajis, dnt give up on the love!!

i remember bhai balbi singh jee talking about a bangti in this katha once, a can't remember where its from (bhai gurdas jees vaaran, i think, myb sum1 can correct me), but its about when a gursikh meets another gursikh, its so beautifully written...goes sumin like when 2 sets of eyes meet, 2 pairs of hands join 2 gether 2 say fateh......the amount of piayaar between 2 gursikhs can wash away loads of sins.....

anyway, the state of the duniyaa at the moment, its easy not to show love for your family khalsa jee.....but benti not to give up! even if u do get blanked :happy: Its worth it if even if only one singh replies, cos once they see the piyaar in your eyes...you wont have to force them to hug you, theyll do it willingly! :lol:

and try smilling at strangers, lol, it has interesting effects.... :happy:

same applies to singhnia meeting singhnia, show some love behnjiya!!

stay in chardee kalaa on this journey jee!! :lol:

Anyone know of the thukh that Bhenji is referring too?

I was at the bus stop a while back and i see a singh walking across the road and he does a lil nod and shouts out fateh 2 me, it was hilarious for the non sikhs walking past they were confused with that he said i obviously shouted fateh back and then put my hand up in a wave lol

For me is the folded hands thing and if they are close by it's a handshake aswell lmao

I think just a little bit of luv will go along way. I dont know about fateh to the trimmers. But regardless id still say ello and a handshake. maybe a chupi/bear hug/level 5 head lock;).

ohhhh liverpool 1- 0 Everton (thought id throw that in :p )

KhalsaRaj ji, you should have given him a hug, see that where you went wrong ! :p lol

This thread made me laugh. I know what you mean. Sikhs got issues!!! There are some SIkhs who see sikhs and walk the opposite way. Thats not nice.

Anyways where I live there are not many pagh wale people. Of the pagh wale people I know most of them are weird. But mona sikhs are funny. So many times I am walking around randomly and suddenly a mona will shout KIDAAAAH at me, once a group of them said chak de pateh really loudly. Its kinda embarassing....I wish they would say Fateh....but I guess they are making some effort...

Also who hates asian people saying your name in a English way. That has to be my pet hate. If you know how to pronounce then why cannot u pronounce it properly!

lol.............Singhniah, in some cases are just as bad...........hehehehehe...........those of u who know me know i bear hug everyone i meet..........i did it once to this Singhni and she looked at me like id slapped her.................hehehehehe.............CRINGE!! :BL:

Im all for sharing the love man..................its what the panth needs................if singhs and singhiah were more approachable, we would find more non-amritdharis approaching us to ask questions and find out stuff...........

open the your hearts people and share the love!!

:happy:

If 'Feteh!' is your style then greet all the Panth the same way.

I think uni days are different - in that campus mentality Sikh lads somehow gelled together and regularly got together - no exclusionism - if you were a Sikh, you'd always be welcomed at these get-togethers! Sighnis had something similar at their houses.

To be honest though, when I lived in Birmingham, I would not greet every Singh that I saw - Imagine that - You'd be head nodding, Fateh'ing and handshaking every so often down the street that you'd miss your bus!

Now that I'm in much less densly populated area, I do acknowledge every Singh that I see - a simple nod and 'kidda?' - but often it results in a short conversation about who they are, background, pind etc....

Along the same lines, something that is sad to notice is that grown adults, when matha theking at the Gurudwara go straight to sit down without a quick fateh with hands together towards the sangat. Bad parenting I reckon!

    • Whatever problems the Afghan Sikhs have or Punjabi Sikhs have, it's much better to support them than the Muslims.
    • So, are you saying Guru ji isn't God? Or are you saying the British encouraged this belief?
    • Part of the problem is the hostilities between India and Pakistan. If the border were open, Amritsar would easily become a huge trading city. Secondly, the National Highways Authority of India is constructing a new 6-lane expressway from Kashmir, through Amritsar/Jalandhar/Ludhiana to Dehli which will be part of the Ludhiana-Delhi-Kolkatta Industrial Corridor.  Maps of the New Silk Road show Kolkata as a key part of the "road". The Punjab to Kolkata expressway and rail connections will fulfill the ability to hook up to the New Silk Road.  In addition, while crossing to Pakistan via AH1 (Asian Highway 1) is difficult, India does connect to AH1 on the other side, towards the East. Finally, Punjab can trade with the world via Mundra port in Gujurat. Rail to Mundra, then sea onwards. Dubai is very close with a free port. If you send products to Iran, there are ground links onward to Europe.
    • Yeah, that's one possibility. Another I initially thought is that it's a Muslim trying to gather info. But then, you might ask, how does he know about Sikh textual sources. Well, you'd be surprised at their resourcefulness. A final possibility is he's a weak Sikh who was asked a question by a non-Sikh and now he's suddenly feverishly wondering where it's "written" that you can't marry a young child. To the latter, I would say, you're looking in the wrong spot. Gurbani isn't a 1428 page rulebook, like Leviticus or the Vedas: ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਪੁੰਨ ਪਾਪ ਬੀਚਾਰਦੇ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ The Simritis and Shastras discriminate between charity and sin, but know not the essence of the Real Thing. Without the Guru, they know not the essence of the Reality, know not the essence of the Reality. Anand Sahib.
    • You're confusing two different things: One is merely adding starch to a turban to get a certain feel to the fabric. The other is tying your turban once and taking it off like a hat. It is this that people have a problem with. What's wrong with it is that Rehit says to tie your turban afresh every time. If you ask, "Where is that written?", it's written in Bhai Nand Lal ji's Rehitnama. @ipledgeblue didn't just make it up. Umm, no, bro. We're not evangelical Christians like President George W Bush of the US claiming to "talk to God" who told him to invade Iraq. "Speaking to him directly" basically ends up being doing whatever you feel like with the excuse that Guru ji told you to do it. If you still want to take your turban off like a hat, feel free to do so, but don't claim that it's Rehit.
