Do you stretch regularly? Most guy have tight hamstrings, which pulls on the knee causing problems. Warm up for 5 minutes; I will attempt to describe a really easy to do hamstring stretch. You can do this at a door. Lie down on the floor, one leg goes up the wall, the other leg can go through the door (door is open btw) and remain on the floor. Now, the leg that is on the wall is being stretched, hold the position for 2 minutes. Then switch to stretch the other leg, you will need to face the other way now. When you do this stretch, you may feel a tingling sensation in your leg/butt/lower back, that is fine just make sure its not uncomfortable. Also, make sure your pelvis is parallel to the floor, easiest way to accomplish this is to keep it in contact with the floor at all times.

As your hamstring flexibility increases scoot your butt closer to the wall, eventually you should be able to put your butt right by the wall, making a 90 degree angle between your leg that's up on the wall and the floor.

I can't stress enough that you should never stretch a cold muscle! I did that a couple of days and boy is my lower back in pain now :(

there are lots of yoga classes out there that can increase flexibility. there's also step by step instructions on the net on how ot increase flexibility so a person can sit on the floor for along period of time. i think the one most people sit in at the gurdwara (cross legged) is called easy pose, but i could be mistaken on that.possibly googling 'how to sit in easy pose'? would find some instructions.

    • 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.
