Mandir


Recommended Posts

a true Sikh should not shy away from any house of God - whether Gurudwara, Dharmsala, Mandir, Mosque or Church

we are slowly developing the same mentality that Guruji fought against

we are slowly losing that freedom of thought and spirit which is the cornerstone of Sikhi

How many Sikh brothers and sisters bow without the slightest knowledge before the Guru Granth Sahib - it is the devotion in our hearts that is important and that can be found anywhere if our minds are focused on Akal Purakh

If that was the case and we shouldnt shy away from any god of house regardless of whether mandir or mosque.....would guru have gone through so much for us and tell us in detail not to do idol worship? If waheguru wanted us to do this what was the point of sending Guru Nanak Dev Ji to preach the true path...

Hindu gods - yes they were on earth, waheguru sent them...they come and went....it was all a creation of and a drama by the almighty

Hey all, I got a problem. My family is typically punjabi (eat meat, drink sharab etc.) anyway so I'm fortunate that I've been allowed to go to Punjab for Vaisakhi, but my mum wants me to go to this Balik Naak mandir, I refused and told her, the very thing which we go against, bowing to idols, we are practising. Now she's almost forcing me to go against my will, I don't even know what to do

Is your mum one of those typical Sikh women (please don't take offence, my mum did the same thing too)that do path in morning, then keep some kind of "vrat" or visit some kind of joshi. It seems to be a phenomenon among Sikh females (especially when they reach a particular age) to do this kind of thing, probably because someone in your family is a big drinker and she wants them to quit so she goes to these pandits or joshis or hears there is some joshi or pandit in India from one of her female friends that can do miraculous things, where there is some holy water that will cure your ailment,you should ask your mother what her hidden agenda is, I reckon it is something that relates to some family problem.

I personally would have no problem visiting a mandir, if you are confident in your own Sikhi then it should be no problem as long as you do not bow before a murti.

I personally would prefer to go and see mandirs in South India for the architecture, especially those thousand year old stone carved ones.

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • 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?
