English Parchariks


Recommended Posts

WJKK WJKF,

Can someone please direct me towards gurmat vichars / parchars but that are spoken in english by the parcharik. I listen to parchariks in punjabi and have watched dvds and programmes such as gyan da sagar by maskeen ji many times but find I don't fully understand.

So is there anyone out there who is highly regarded in giving sermons about sikhi in english? Who speaks the correct truth (unadultrated, not deviating from sikhi with a hidden agenda).

Thank you. I am not being totally lazy, if I can just get some names then I will search for the material myself.

Bhai Sukha Singh Akali is an english parcharik from the Uk think he was born in London

you can type is name on youtube and listen to some of his parchar or google it

theres lots of others like the singhs from sikhnet.com on youtube check up "gmustuk" on Youtube theres lots of videos on youtube just search what you want parchar on and there'll always be a translation. Sukha singh ji is a good hearted person and sounds like a gyani. Some of my friends have stayed with him and they said he's a big gyani you would see him doing simran while the rest are sleeping.

Gurfateh Ji,

I advise ppl to only listen to kathas by brahmgianis like sant kartar singh, sant isher singh etc. I used to listen to other parcharics

but got really confused as their knowledge is wrong sometimes. How can a person who hasn't got gian give katha to ppl without making lots of mistakes..

Anyway that is only if you understand panjabi but for those who can't understand start from somewhere. Something better than nothing...

It's always great to see English Parcharks, of which we are very short indeed given the population of Sikhs throughout the west.

However, one suggestion , we all know our Guru Sahiban and various mahan Gursikhs later were conversant in many languages as well as SGGS, therefore it's only pertinent for us to learn Punjabi, Gurmukhi to as a high level possible. This is a must for us to emotionally feel our father SGGS talking to us as well as understanding and vichaar. Bhai Sukha Singh is only good due to his understanding of Gurmuki , panjabi having been born and bred in the UK. This learning of Punjabi and Gurmuki isn't a big issue,as we make it, just requires a weekly consistent effort.As mentioned by the likes of Maskeen Jee, the feeling and depth of meaning of Gurbani Gurmuki level cannot ever be expressed in weak or even deep English. Even American Sikhs started of with our English parchark Yogi sahib but still took to Panjabi Language to gain that deeper level understanding of Gurbani.

    • 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?
