Umm.. penji, your post will stir a lot of anger and hate here. Most sangat doesnt agree with having weddings outside of a Gurdwara. Gurdwara is for that purpose. You should come to the Guru to seek blessings... not ask the Guru to come to you to give you blessings. You cant guarantee satkaar of Guru Jee outside the Gurdwara...

When we prepare for a wedding and the thousand and one things to do we often forget the one most important person who will be present.......Guru Ji.

As we are wrapped up in all the wedding preperations we fail to give Guru Ji the full respect and satkaar that we should. This respect and satkar and suchum cannot be given if we take Guru Ji to a golf Club or any other club for that matter.

I would respectfully ask Benji to reconsider and have the Anand Karaj at the gurdwara .

That is correct, you do not bring the King of Kings to some sort of club house to recieve blessings. If you wish for the Guru's blessing you should go to his palace and ask for them.

it would be out in HIS nature therefore respecting his creations even more. thinking maybe by the water or maybe on a mountain.

It is a problem if gurdwaras dont offer this option but I will find a way to do it eventually just hoping it wont be too much of a struggle

I don't see any conceptual reason why an Anand Kaaraj cannot be held outside, as long as full Satkaar, cleanliness and Maryada for Maharaajh are guaranteed to be followed at all times. Maharaajh's saroops are taken outside in outdoor programmes across the world, as well as camps and to peoples' residences.

The objection is against taking Maharaajh to where it is known that Satkaar and Maryada will not be followed, e.g., party halls where booze and dirty songs are going to follow - that's where the prohibition on no Anand Kaaraj's outside Gurdwaras should apply.

If the utmost Satkaar and Maryada for Maharaajh is followed at all times, then I see no reason why the Anand Kaaraj cannot be held outdoors ... or am I missing something?

Personally, im not totally against it. End of the day, our Gurus did go out to the people, far and wide, to spread the message of Guru Jee to the masses.

I guess in a way its strange... i know someone who was thinking of having a wedding at a holiday resort and i asked them why - the answer was that they wanted their wedding to be special. My question in return was "is having Guru Jee there whatever the surrounding not special enough for you?" ... so i just think people should ask themselves the question first... why do you want to take Guru jee out to a "golf course" or whatever... if it is because you want a "special" wedding and think taking Maharaj to a golf course would make it more special, then i dont think you deserve to have Guru Jee at your wedding at all IMO.

Sorry if that offends anyone.

Yes it would be special and yes Guruji would agree that this is special and would be Very happy with it.

Thank you.

    • 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.
