Brahmin Rituals In Nanaksar Gurdwara

I did raul and dera sri nanaksar and giving cha and langar is okay. But what is this?

1) Putting a piece of paper and turban under sri guru granth sahib ji.

2) Keeping water in a gharvi.

3) Females are not allowed into sachkhand.

4) Mishri, lechi prashad at madh time.

5) Agarbati and jot must always be there.

6) Your mouth must not stink.

Updesh is being missed. Many Nanaksaris now freely admit this maryada of akhand path is too difficult. They do sukhmani maryada instead.

singh ji,

why not look at the amount of naam and seva is happening at the gurdwara , its very easy to point fingers at things we see bad or not understand. there may be reasons to why they do things in diffrent ways

but the main concept is that sikhs are getting gurbani of guru ji

forgive me if i may have had said anything wrong.

Brother,

Nanaksar has a beautiful maryada given by Baba Nand Singh ji himself who was a paragon of devotion unto Guru Nanak Dev ji and Sri Guru Granth Sahibji that is simply unrivalled;

who is anyone here to question what is in or lacking from the maryada made by such a high soul?

The Nanaksar maryada is the same as in the Nirmala Sampardai which goes back to Bhai Daya Singh and Bhai Dharam Singh ji, the keeping of jyot and jal is purataan maryada, and will be seen in any Nirmal kuttia.

What's more,

It is sad how 'Brahminism' has become such a readily applied slur-like watch-word

used by people with certain agendas to smear other groups.

I mean if there are no pandits or brahmins at a function reciting vedic mantras

and worshipping idols--how can anyone say that the group is Brahminized?

This has become such a dangerous trend that we even have people from the anti-panthic singh sabha international calling Damdami Taksal and Nihangs 'brahminized' with no evidence, this word is just used to defame people and organizations because of the strong anti-Hindu sentiments in our community--which is wrong and decietful.

We go to Gurdwara and do sewa and raul, rather then come home with our choli filled with Guru Jis pyare instead we come home pointing fingers at this and that, finding faults in this and that.

If this is all we have earned from the sewa then maybe it is better not to do the sewa at all ?

just becuase some rituals are followed by the sevadars at the Gurudwara does not automatically give someone the right to label them as 'brahmin' practices

once again the scapegoat mentality which dominates more and more young Sikh brothers these days

just a sad refelction of people being 'Not Hindus' as opposed to being Sikh

Being Sikh should be enough for any follower of the Gurus and such paranoia and weakness will only lead to the fall of many Sikhs in the future to a racist talibanised dharma the very same our Gurus fought against

    • 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?
