I guess everyone's someone has a link to a village ..so calling villagers backward and illiterate vlearly shows the utter disrespect the author has for people posting to the forum. Rather than being polite and giving your thoughts the reader chose to question the mentality of the post originator...I would suggest if you feel like being a personal basher please avoid posting. Thanks.

Erm hello read what i put before dishing out pointless lectures. What i said was in response to kalyugi saying sumt on the lines of- kick their heads in. No personal bashing there mate, just me outlining my opinion. Problem? Dont read

Men and women are not divided on opposite sides of the sarovar (though women have enclosed areas to bath), from my experience men tend to bath in the open areas and anyone and everyone can walk past. The original poster has asked a valid question.

Agreed

Give over, this thread is a piss-take. The guy was talking about Singh on Singh because I've never seen a Singhni in close quarters to another bathing Singh so that she can see "creases" and "folds". :blink2: Bibia are all the way over on their side (e.g. Darbar Sahib), so unless they've got Superman's zoom vision or a pair of high-powered binoculars I doubt they'll be able to see aforementioned folds and creases from their end.

The Singhnia issue was only mentioned in passing when he said maybe Singhs should have a seperate enclosure for bathing as well. This is an absolute non-issue - it's not even worth thinking about nevermind starting a topic for discussion. I'm baffled as to the thought processes of some people.

What? Singh and Singhnia are in total segregation at Darbar Sahib?! Lol

Haha supervision! Maybe a little less super hero dramas for u veer

Theres two ishnaan ghats at darbar sahib right? Are they both for bibiya?

No but we could do with a little more compassion, patience and understanding.

This topic aside, people from all walks of life, all background and different levels of exposure to Sikhi come to this forum seeking help, advice and information. Just because a question may seem silly, irrelevant or nothing to do with Sikhi it doesn't mean we should go straight in and attack. Someone, somewhere once helped us and answered our questions which is where our knowledge stems from today, have a little Daya and put yourself in the shoes of the other person.

Why cant we al just use discretion and a little bit of common sense, is that too hard or do we need rules to be set for everything?

It's exactly this point that worries me for the future. Islam (or certain strict interpretations of it) have exactly this problem whereby there's a rule and regulation for the most inconsequential of things, mostly modern-day issues for which there were clearly no precedents when the faith was founded thousands of years ago. Rarely is the follower encouraged to solve the issue at their own discretion. Instead there has to be a ruling or a mandate from somewhere which is then backed up by a tenuous link to scripture by modern-day scholars. God forbid this kind of stuff ever finds its way into Sikhi, but if we need guidance from 3rd parties on issues such as these then I expect we'll be joining that club in a few years as well. Yet people are actually encouraging this kind of behaviour!

God gaves us budh. Lets use it.

I never thought I would say this but for once I agree with you!!

    • I was searching igurbani.com which gives correct pronunciation of Gurbani. I can’t remember all of it at once. I guess it relies on more practice, like more Sehaj Paths. The meaning becomes clearer. I have noticed slight variants in it. This could be because it’s written in old Punjabi.  
    • Veer Manpreet Singh, a lay preacher, claims that -Sikhs aren't supposed to worship Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We are only supposed to worship God as is written in Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We only "revere" Guru Granth Sahib ji.     He says a lot of other things in this video, some are good refutations of Hindu superstitions, but the reformers often go too far. Anyways, what he is saying about not worshipping Guru Granth Sahib ji is totally wrong. The reason is Guru Granth Sahib ji is Guru. Guru is Satguru. Satguru is God. We worship God. Therefore, we also worship Satguru (Guru Granth Sahib ji).   There are innumerable verses in Gurbani equating God and Guru. ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਡੁਬਦਾ ਲਏ ਤਰਾਇ ॥੨॥ The Guru is the Supreme Lord and the Transcendent Master. The Guru floats (saves) the drowning one. p49   ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਏਕੋ ਜਾਣੁ ॥ Know the Guru and God as One. p864   ਗੁਰ ਨਾਲਿ ਤੁਲਿ ਨ ਲਗਈ ਖੋਜਿ ਡਿਠਾ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੰਡੁ ॥ There is no one at par with the Guru. I have searched and seen the whole universe. p49 (If the Guru is the greatest in the whole universe, shouldn't we worship the Guru?)   I'd like to ask Manpreet Singh what is worship? Any reasonable definition would include obeisance, remembrance, and praise. Those are exactly the same things Gurbani says to do regarding Guru! Remembrance and obeisance: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਅਪਨਾ ਸਦ ਸਦਾ ਸਮ੍ਹਾਰੇ ॥ Ever, ever, I think of the True Guru, ਗੁਰ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਕੇਸ ਸੰਗਿ ਝਾਰੇ ॥੧॥ and the Guru's feet I brush with my head's hair. p387   Praise: ਗੁਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਆਪਿ ॥ The Guru himself is the transcendent Lord and the supreme master. ਆਠ ਪਹਰ ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰ ਜਾਪਿ ॥੪॥੧੬॥੬੭॥ Throughout the eight watches of the day, O Nanak meditate thou on the Guru. p387   In fact, Gurbani says the way to find God is to worship (puja) of Guru: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਧੋਇ ਧੋਇ ਪੂਜਹੁ ਇਨ ਬਿਧਿ ਮੇਰਾ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਲਹੁ ਰੇ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ Washing and bathing the True Guru's feet, worship thou them. In this way thou shall obtain my Lord Master. Pause. p1118   Could it be any clearer that we are to worship Guru ji?
    • Bro, reciting a shorter Chaupai Sahib is hardly "anti-Dasam". It's fine to argue that the longer Chaupai is more traditional, but the short one isn't anti-Dasam. That's like claiming shorter Rehras is anti-Guru Granth Sahib ji just because there are fewer selections from Guru Granth Sahib. It might not be traditional, but it's not anti-Guru Granth Sahib. I prefer the longer versions, but let's not exaggerate. Every tradition has a slightly different Rehras version. Nanaksar vs Taksal vs Nihangs and so on. The basic template for Rehras is at the beginning of Guru Granth Sahib ji. Later, Chaupai Sahib was added and Anand Sahib always follows as the end of a process. Then some sangats added more saloks to start Rehras and others were added at the end. Some additional selections from Dasam Bani were also added, but it wasn't the same ones for every sangat. The important thing is to not hate on each other for these variations.
    • Umm, so you're upset that this jatha did Chaupai the same way it's being done at Harimandar Sahib for 100 years? Shouldn't you be upset at the manager of Darbar Sahib? I'm not saying that Sikhs who are aware of certain issues shouldn't do the longer Chaupai, but there are only so many battles you can fight. Instead of calling some jatha traitors because they're doing the (for better or worse) "standard" Chauapai published by the SGPC, it would be better to change things from the central point. You can't fault the average Sikh for picking up the average Gutka and doing paath.
    • It's the same here in Toronto. Alot of the gudwaras here are political orientated and get tons of funding from the government-probably want them stay hush hush with all the BS that has been happening with India.  These guys are skewing gurbani. A complaint was sent to a ragi singh a couple of days ago in regards to a hukamnama.
