This is what happens when Manmat takes over. Thank God for Akal Takht's Hukam.

Some one should message him and say instead of putting Singh after your name, but Kaur. The soul has no gender, so it don't matter laugh.giflaugh.gif

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.

If the soul has no gender, then how is it wrong for two souls to marry and become one in front of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib, regardless of what the external gender is of both individuals? I would ask you to read the articles on that website and then post a reply. If you wish to have a discourse based on what is discussed there, please feel free to contact the website or discuss matters in an adult fashion on this message board.

The Akal Takht has issued many hukums, but they are not always adhered to. Just look at what has happened in respect of sitting at tables or on the floor for langar, and what is currently happening in India in relation to the Nanakshahi calendar. The Akal Takht can make the wrong decisions (such as when a siroppa and kirpan was given to General Dyer, the instigator of the Amritsar Massacre in 1919) , or decisions which are not respected by the wider Sikh community.

Guru Nanak Dev Ji and the following Gurus ensured that the language of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib was the colloquial language of the day, so that everyone could take from Bani without the need for intercessors. We were considered by the Gurus to be intelligent enough to read and understand the Sri Guru Granth Sahib, but unfortunately not so considered by the 'powers that be' in the present form of Sikhi. Hence the plethora of Hukums by the Akal Takht over the past two decades when the religion had successfully survived centuries of oppression without the need for such hukums.

One thing we should never forget is Guru Nanak Dev Ji's words - Hum nahin changay, bura nahi koi. "I am not good, and nobody is bad." The world is not inherrently bad, nor are the humans who inhabit it, and no Sikh can claim to be entirely good if he or she is a true Sikh (or "learner").

On the issue of marriage, would you want gay Sikhs to be marrying heterosexual Sikhs in order for there to be no 'visible' homosexuality in the community, and thus detrimentally affect the lives of both people in the marriage, or would you rather that gay Sikhs were accepted by the community in order for there to be no unhappy marriages or marriages of convenience? It is a very interesting issue which does not appear to have been given much thought by the wider Sikh community. It is not just homosexual Sikhs who suffer in such marriages, but also the heterosexual husband or wife to that marriage.

To the original poster, I would again repeat Guru Nanak Dev Ji's words and wish him or her all of the best in the search for somebody to marry.

Bul chuk di maaf.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.

    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
