How is is that Christians are so organized that they can reach out to non-Christians like Sikhs but our Gurdwara are not able to draw people born into Sikhi back into the religion they were born to. There isn't enough outreach towards the spirit of Sikhs and these groups are exploiting that and doing so well out of it.

I don't think Jesus would have called Guru Nanak a sinner. I think they would have been BFF's.

Guru Nanak was in love with God. Anyone who is in love with God cannot be a sinner.

These modern-day Christians need to re-examine themselves and ask if Jesus came back, would he approve of what they are doing. I don't think he would.

There must be a reason why there have been so many Sikhs who left the Panth and looked towards Christianity? There are many lost Sikhs who need spiritual assistance. I remember I knew some Aunties in Southall and they were talking about how there was little guidance from the Granthis and were just instructed to read bani again and again, and although that may seem like good advice how does it help someone who cannot completely understand the meanings of Gurujis teachings that certainily is the case for many Sikhs. Even the older generation born in punjab understand little about their religion. Christians have study groups where they go over the bible and try to understand what each paragraph means and how it can help them. With our Granthis they will repeat the pehlee pauree of Japji Sahib but what about the rest??? Those aunties are now all Christians and many members of their families have followed them.

I know Sikhi isn't meant to be a prosyletizing religion but we need to do more to keep the SIkhs within our religion. I know some Sikhs who take great steps toward reaching Guruji, there are mone who hae grown their Kesh, learnt Gurmukhi and become fluent in Bani but such strong willed Sikhs are generally few in number and most people are simple minded who are easily led. It is those people who need the most help. Our Gurdwarae are open to all but we need to do more to encourage people to come through the doors just how Islam and Christianity has managed to do so well.

I think they are targeting so called labelled "low caste" in punjab. These people are already victimized in punjab, they get double victimized by our sikh community within with all these stupid punjabi tribal fights which are fought in name of dharam bringing - division/hostility between guru ravidasa gurdwaras vs singh sabha gurdwaras run by jatts.

Our parcharaiks (SGPC leaders) need to lead by example, launch massive amrit sanchar to so called low caste community in punjab, give them proper satkar, make all of them eligible for equal rights in dharam, follow by foot steps of guru maharaj sidhant- updesh hou varna ko sanjha..!!

Time to re-think our parchar strategies and bring every one together- kabirpanthis upasakhs, ravidasa upasakhs etc all under sri guru nanak dev nirankar sikhi.

I propose to ease on definition of sikh to include everyone- kabirpanthis/ravidassa panthis/nanakpanthis etc in the panth and also re-bridge by introducing some depth in parchar while withholding and reaffirming the importance of being khalsa, give everyone some room to work on themselves- spiritually/practically instead of feeding guilt trip parchar like jevoh witnesses..!!

    • 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.

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.
