I know what i read from your post and its clear what you were saying. I wish you had answered my questions, but as i wrote them, i had a feeling you wouldn't answer them. And my gut feeling wasn't wrong here. Also, i'll refresh your memory here.

You can't even admit you mistook my stance for (iet's) view. I also need no refreshment of my memory thanks.

All your questions (but one, answered below) were answered by the overall theme I was conveying in my point.

Quite frankly I didn’t have time to answer questions like would you give a child a car at 5. Now thats something that does not apply here.

When i read your post, i was tryin to understand why are you bringing up such comments that don't even apply here. There is no Mahapursh here telling the OP their future. I know what I read and your biased view off pushing toward going to prom was showing in your knowning the future bit. Here let me refresh your memory again from a different post from this thread.

I bought up this point to illustrate that everyone is at their own level of development and that you can't suddenly tell someone to start 5 banis a day after a life of the completely opposite thing (mammon etc). You're a joker, please read carefully. I am not referring to the OP when I say the mahapursh knew this guys destiny too but I am referring to the man in my story.

Before you start bringing up so called scholarly writings on this way of behaving. I'm ask you another question, and i hope it gets answered this time. What does Guru Sahib say about going to these events? All that matters here is what Guru Sahib says...FULL STOP. Rehat says don't go. Rehat comes from Satguru, so you DONT GO...FULL STOP.

Quite frankly, I don't know what Satuguru Ji would say on this matter. I feel his view would not be as black and white as yours. And please refrain from shouting.

If you had read my post, then you wouldn't be writing such nonsense. Sant's don't attend these kinds of events. In what world can an average joe attend this event. Who cares about classmates and it is not just a party. Are you here for classmates or Satguru? For you it might be..just a party. But when you are on higher spiritual levels, it means the whole universe. Satguru forgives in a second, but a Sikh suffers many lives for his mistakes. Speak to a Gurmukh that has struggled many lives to get where he or she is at. Gurbani explains this struggle to us, but some miss it, so speak to a Gurmukh, they also can explain in detail.

Nonsense? Its called an opinion mate and everyone is entitled to one. Plus we are not saints.

And who wants to participate in events, which drive them away from Satguru? Sincerely, I think you need to re-think what Sikhi really means.

I was saying it could actually drive him closer if you had read my post.

I think you take responses too personally. Looking at your reply to iets' post has confirmed this. Telling someone his level of ego is similar to demi gods is not being humble my friend, no matter what his opinion may be.

Again, its obvious we completely disagree with this issue. Let's just leave it at that.

    • 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. 
    • 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.       
    • 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.  
    • 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?
    • 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.
