What Do Gursikhs Do?

[Guest singhaa]

Fateh

So basically after Guru Ji did kirpa and comin closer to sikhi, i started hanging wiht my old friends less. there not bad people but they are more into drinking and pub crawls and clubbing, etc. then other things. I dont really know alot of gursikhs like as mates, I was wondering what do gursikhs do in spare time. I mean i kno u go to kirtans etc. but when u just wana chill and stuff, like ive got summer hols comin now, all my old mates r planning days out and stuff, but i dont wana do that, because like i sed even tho they are good people, its not my thing nemore and its not a good influence on my mind etc. Like kirtan etc. is at night and u r there for meditating, what do u do in the days and like when uve got loads of time off? i kno u shud read bani and do simran but also socialising is important, how do gursikhs do it? how do u meet gursikhs that u can just chill with?

Where do you live?

If you are in UK, there's plenty of camps through the summer.

There's camps for youth/students (over 16's) where you will get to meet sangat

Also most towns have kids camps- Guru di kirpa, go there and do seva, or travel to where kids camps are happening

Guru di kirpa- sometimes i miss my uni days as in the summer there was camps every week. loads to keep busy

or find sangat in your area

How old are u?

if there's no sangat in your area at all, and you want to keep busy in the summer, but don't want to do the pub thing etc, maybe do some volunteering

again if there's no sikh organisation in your area, maybe check with your local hospital or charitable organisation, you'l lbe doin seva, plus you'll get to meet other ppl from different communities which will help growth within your own sikhi

But 1 thing, make the most of your free time (summer) because as u get older and when u enter gristhi jeevan-u get less time and life becomes busy.

make the most of your free time- don't waste it idly

Hope this helps

thanks, i appreciate ur post, im hopefully going to a camp this year, but still thats only one week. Ive got tonnes of free time, ill see about the volunteering, but also i just neeed to mix with singhs n stuff as well. I don't know why its so hard, i think it must be where i live (in london) its a shame becuase im thankful maharaj has kept me close to him but i think others who arent strong might get led astray when there is so little sangat. LIke i said kirtans are the most important thing but u need a friends circle, or ur just gna go back to ur old mates. I'm such a loner these days its unbelievable.

Take Santhiaa from Giani Runn Singh or Giani Gurdev Singh Jee. To learn properly, you need to do a lot Abhiyaas during the day, and if you don't do it when you're young and have summer holidays, you regret it when you're older - like me
