RSingh96 Jee,

Its actually good that you are able to realise how you are feeling after school as you go to FB, SS and HM on your computer after school. Too many people are not honest about boredom and everyday becomes GroundHog Day.

Life has many related components to it, so make a timetable to work on all of these after school for your personal progress.

1) Physical power and the ability to defend yourself is very important, hence after school have a programme involving going to the gym, swimming, and learning martial arts. You can do phase this out over the week and they will bring plenty of sweat. Play hockey or football too if you can for group sports to be able to interact with others. Aerobics, aquarobics and even dancing classes help you achieve flexibility and CV in your body.

2)Music adds to the quality of life and if you are a Sikh the ability to do kirtan is very important. Hence arrange for tabla lessons at least twice/week and also harmonium and singing lessons for kirtan at least twice/week.

3)If you can read SGGS and understand it line by line, fair enough, but if not, please start going to a gyani to help you read SGGS and even try to start memorising banees in your spare time and also set aside an hour or even 30 minutes each day to read SGGS line by line for meanings.

4)Also, set aside at least 30 minutes if you can everyday after school, to sit quietly and practise doing saas geraas simran with every breath.

5)Most schools etc have a programme where you can read to the blind after school as a sewa. Try doing this or other sewa involving the under privileged at school or in your community. Look up on community activities in your area where you can do sewa of others. Likewise there may be sewa required of you in your local gurudwara which could become a personal project e.g keeping the toilets smelling clean etc, helping gyani in evening semaptee,preparing langar, etc.

6)Do more than just homework. For every module or subject you are studying, read around a lot more by spending more time at the library. You need to aim to achieve an A in every subject.

7)Think of new hobbies for which you could attend classes. Photography, film making, cooking, learning to do more things with your computer(like programming, making websites, editing vid clips,music tech, etc) so you can do more sewa through your computer. New hobbies, a more varied set of interests create a diversity of activities and help to make you more informed and energised.

8) Have gursikh friends you can go out with and explore more. If you are in the UK, there is beautiful countryside all around etc, and there is lots to explore in little towns around the main cities. Even our Gurujees used to travel to preach Sikhi.

9)Likewise invite some non Sikh friends around occasionally too after school to introduce them to punjabi food, to Sikhi and to your family. This will give you confidence in sharing Sikhi and talking about Sikhi to your school mates.

10)After school you can also arrange to do things with others who are at home so you feel more closer and bonded. Remember Sikhi helps you become a magical, energised, communicative, exciting, enthusiastic, excitable, confident and positive person who is intelligent, informed and active.

You are a young person who can do millions of things. As you get old, you find it gets more difficult because old-age diseases start to visit, body starts getting colder, bones ache etc. Hence use your youth to your advantage through guidance from Gurujee to do loads things apart from checking a few websites after school. Be a role model for others and do great things for Sikhi.

      All Gurdware should be like this

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room.

      Self care of hair

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.

      Nidar Singh Nihang X The Ranveer show podcast

      By ipledgeblue · Posted

      Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

      Why are starched turbans hated?

      Author Posted April 24   On 4/21/2025 at 2:43 PM, ipledgeblue said: sirr should not be nanga because keski is usually worn.   Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?

      30th May over 6th June?

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj.
