Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh

I hear you but it isn't as simple as that. Sometimes the goray bring in dodgy politics and practices themselves, such as gay Amritdhari viahs.

But yes, I do think there are a lot of deeply devoted Sikhs from non Panjabi backgrounds out there. I even met some Sindhi Pakistani 'Hindus' at a Gurdwara recently and their commitment to Sikh prayers was very inspiring and devout. Then you think boy, most of the descendants of Panjabi Sikhs in the diaspora don't even known 5 pauris of Japji Sahib and here are so called 'Hindus' who know it all by heart.

Good point. According to bani, having bani bought into your life is a blessing from Waheguru itself. If you are blessed like this and enjoy it, then it should make you feel a tad sorry for the apnay that live their lives without experiencing it (not in a horrible supercillious way mind you!).

They say you can bring a horse to water but you can't make it drink - so in the end, even if we were to make loads of effort (as a community) to bring people closer to bani, it is no guarantee they will drink it.

Sai gal dalsingh bhaji if u think about it we r VERY VERY lucky to even hear of Gurbani and we must of done something correct in a previous life for this to happen :waheguru: i agree that some havent recieved this blessing but all is due in time maybe not in this janam maybe in the next one or whenever Akaal Purakh wants we just have to take a day as it comes and live in the present moment :) ...( abit contradictory of me as i have a report in for tomoro and im on here )

culture really does not have a thing to do with Sikhi. Some people born in Sikhi act as if amrit is some sort of Ruafsaa drink, they dont respect it one bit which is very sad and frustrating. Some people who arent born in Sikhi give it high value. At the end of the day, its the soul inside of you and how much its thirsty for guroosaahebs pyaar. If its strong enough to follow rehat and stay in bhanaa. Do not get annoyed, whatever they are doing is due to thier past karam. Just do ardaas for them to guroosaaheb, may they one day start following gursikhaa dee rehnee behnee jeevan!

I am white and have been doing kirtan for months now. I have read so much about Sikhism and find it a welcome change to what I was brought up in. I know it's hard to be different especially in this day but finding the Sikh faith has brought much peace into my life, so thank you for having a religion that accepts everyone.

Thank you for your kind words. It's just for the first time in my life I have found peace and a religion that doesn't make me feel like I don't belong.

    • 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.
