Obviously all able bodied sangat should sit on the floor in pangat and partake in guru ji's langar.

But the question i have is as well we all know on weekdays majority of gurdwareh in UK are frequented by our elders. Many of them have trouble walking let alone sitting on floor to partake in langar, and also some who are disabled (wheelchair), surely it is okay for the Gurughar to have a few tables / chairs for them to partake in langar like that? I personally think it is fine but whats the consensus amongst the cyber sangat?

I made that statement based on experience and observation, however I'm not an expert in this field of science, hence a scientific study would be interesting.

Sorry I must of missed the part in the Guru Granth

sahib where it stated I had to sit on the floor to eat.

And you wonder why you dont get invited to the annual Sikh Sangat picnic.

Do you think Guru Ji would rather have all of you, his "Sikhs" argue over some furnishings (probably for the elderly who don't have the same mobility as young people), or do you think instead of arguing over tables and chairs he would rather you expend that energy out on the streets, feeding the poor and helping those in need which is the point of langar in the first place? So sad the priorities of our kaum.

Sri Akal Takht Sahib says the sangat sits on floors. THE SANGAT SITS ON FLOOR. End off.

All this BS about bad backs, modern times, etc. Do not undermine Sri Akal Takht Sahib.

Careful now, if you keep saying this you might end up with a bad back yourself to see first hand what the BS is really all about :) sometimes karma has a rather strong way of keeping us in check.

There are a number of hukumnamas from the Akal Takhat that a lot of people don't agree with. (I posted one earlier but my reply got deleted the admins). We should agree with all the hukumnamas that the Akal Takhat issue and not cherry pick the ones we agree with.

Do you shake hands with a faithful Muslim with your left hand? Do you walk into a Mandir and sit equal to a stone idol that Hindus worship You have no respect for religion. You have no respect for authority. If you would step out of your little world and think with an open mind then you would be able to understand the meaning of authority and religion. You have no clue what our Gurus taught us. Spend less time in your head and more time understanding respect.

      Some Observations After Visiting Punjab for the First Time in Over a Decade

      By BhForce · Posted

      Whatever problems the Afghan Sikhs have or Punjabi Sikhs have, it's much better to support them than the Muslims.

      Islam has become Redpilled in the West...Everyone is converting to Islam

      So, are you saying Guru ji isn't God? Or are you saying the British encouraged this belief?

      Amritsar and Punjab: left out of the New Silk road

      By BhForce · Posted

      Part of the problem is the hostilities between India and Pakistan. If the border were open, Amritsar would easily become a huge trading city. Secondly, the National Highways Authority of India is constructing a new 6-lane expressway from Kashmir, through Amritsar/Jalandhar/Ludhiana to Dehli which will be part of the Ludhiana-Delhi-Kolkatta Industrial Corridor.  Maps of the New Silk Road show Kolkata as a key part of the "road". The Punjab to Kolkata expressway and rail connections will fulfill the ability to hook up to the New Silk Road.  In addition, while crossing to Pakistan via AH1 (Asian Highway 1) is difficult, India does connect to AH1 on the other side, towards the East. Finally, Punjab can trade with the world via Mundra port in Gujurat. Rail to Mundra, then sea onwards. Dubai is very close with a free port. If you send products to Iran, there are ground links onward to Europe.

      Child marriage questions

      By BhForce · Posted

      Yeah, that's one possibility. Another I initially thought is that it's a Muslim trying to gather info. But then, you might ask, how does he know about Sikh textual sources. Well, you'd be surprised at their resourcefulness. A final possibility is he's a weak Sikh who was asked a question by a non-Sikh and now he's suddenly feverishly wondering where it's "written" that you can't marry a young child. To the latter, I would say, you're looking in the wrong spot. Gurbani isn't a 1428 page rulebook, like Leviticus or the Vedas: ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਪੁੰਨ ਪਾਪ ਬੀਚਾਰਦੇ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ The Simritis and Shastras discriminate between charity and sin, but know not the essence of the Real Thing. Without the Guru, they know not the essence of the Reality, know not the essence of the Reality. Anand Sahib.

      Starched Turbans - Topi Or Not Topi

      By BhForce · Posted

      You're confusing two different things: One is merely adding starch to a turban to get a certain feel to the fabric. The other is tying your turban once and taking it off like a hat. It is this that people have a problem with. What's wrong with it is that Rehit says to tie your turban afresh every time. If you ask, "Where is that written?", it's written in Bhai Nand Lal ji's Rehitnama. @ipledgeblue didn't just make it up. Umm, no, bro. We're not evangelical Christians like President George W Bush of the US claiming to "talk to God" who told him to invade Iraq. "Speaking to him directly" basically ends up being doing whatever you feel like with the excuse that Guru ji told you to do it. If you still want to take your turban off like a hat, feel free to do so, but don't claim that it's Rehit.
