Thats excactly my point we're talking about leaning a martial art here not about Sikhi or Kamaiy..Both your own Sikhi and Kamai is personal to an individual, you got to be pretty stupid to believe that consumption of alcohol is permitted or encouraged in Sikhi, it's obviously not.
No different from if you went to learn KungFu from a drunken monk...does that mean that you should be a Alcoholic as well ? Or should you use your own brain and learn the Kung-fu ? Theres a degree of seperation from the personal life and views and actions of a individual and their career.

"excess alcohol is no good for fitness and training" Cisco my friend you are seriously lost my brother and your cloak does not make your intentions invisable! "Excess" implies that "a small amount" or "some" is ok for a person. For a "Gursikh" to imply this, just shows that value of that persons kamaiy and Sikhi. Another bit of proof that people should stay well clear of surjit sin

So you don’t agree that an "Gursikh" individuals Martial discipline cannot be separated from that persons Sikhi & kamaiy (from a Sikh perspective that is)?? We all know the consumption or Drugs and Alcohol are strictly not permitted in Sikhi, but that isn't what I or Bhai Taran Singh are questioning here, so stop playing silly buggers and deflecting dumbo. As for drunken master or kungfu these are of course brilliant martial traditions, but the fact remains that they do not have the same miri piri link to Waheguru the way that Gursikhi or the martial traditions of a Sikh does. You can consume whatever you want and be a master of those oriental arts with no problemo, but you cannot consume alcohol or drugs and be a Sikh martial traditions master - period. So if someone wishes to have the career of a "Shastar Vidiyah master" (and the last living one at that) and claims to be a "Gursikh" (one with such unadulterated access to young, impressionable Sikh children such as surjit does), then that persons "behind closed door" actions and views are very important to be available to the sadh sangat, so that they can make a fully informed decision about the character of such masters!!

shastar vidya is a load of rubbish. Learn how to dance around with 16th century weapons.... oh yeh thats really practical isnt it? Its no different from those karate and kung fu boys that dance around in funny costumes and spend 30 years doing it but get slapped up like little kids when they get into a real confrontation.

shastar vidya - yeh it looks attractive, alluring and too good to be true. In reality its no different from all the other fake con martial arts that you find out there. Its more suited to wierdo geeks that want to dress up like Nihangs with the full kitchen set and post pictures on facebook than real fighters..... makes me laugh when I see them. They remind of me of some geeks I used to know at Uni that did ninjitsu and thought they had some secret deadly knowlege and used to train in black masks etc. What a joke!

go head dude challenge nidar singh... he might have f'ed up ideology he is actually good at what he does.

That my young brother is called an Oxymoron. But those that believe that baba surjits "f'ed up ideology" can be ignored and that its ok to learn from him just because he's good at what he does, is just a plain and simple mo-ron.

Your grasp of the english language is second to none! The fact that surjit has "betan" all gatka master is open to debate my friend. The fact that no one has challanged him, may have something to do with the fact that most sane minded Gursikhs are well aware of the old saying - "if you roll around with pigs, you will stand up smelling of <banned word filter activated>".

Also the fact that you choose to ignore his "f'ed up ideology" (your words, not mine), just show what kind of grip kaal yug has on you and your plain and simple mind.

Ps. If you are looking for some additional knowledge, I have heard of this group called the BNP, who I'm sure will be more than happy to give you some knowledge about where nice little brown fella's like you should go back to!

wow shaheed singh if this is the way you treat people im sure you sikhi ideology is a messed up as niddar! the singh above in my opinion posted a genuine opinion but you shot him down with little/no respect and really a rather shockingly unlogical approach

now the one problem we really have as a panth is the fact we cannot disagree and be happy you are NOT someone we have to explain our personal sikhi to instead i would advise you to look after your own jeevan

i understand you disagree with niddar but im suprised considering his classes are mostly aimed at older singh, if you really were as brave as our sikh martyrs then you would face any foe if you seriously considered him a problem, i am thinking about attending his class in blakenhall in wolverhampton this thursday as posted above (1st time) im wiling to meet you outside and stand alongside you if you wish to discuss with the students your problems as posted above by you numerous times? please pm me if this sounds like a compromise ill pm you bk my number?

Kulfi - I love the way to surjitists all come along like buses at once and then all skate around the facts raised like armature Torvill and Dean’s... Vah Vah! Don’t worry about my Jeevan my friend, just like I told you before, I think you need to concentrate on yours with the mental focus of yoda.

So now let’s examine what you and your fellow surjitists have posted:

So when bhai Taran stated the facts about surjits penchant for chivas regal, kaka cisco stated “The alcohol stories about the Niddar Singh are pretty sensationalised though. Im not doubting if he drinks alcohol or not, but i've never heard the use of alcohol encouraged in his classes or any claims that you must drink to be a warrior...then again I only went to a few classes and this was over 2 years ago. I actually have personally heard the opposite said in classes..i.e: excess alcohol is no good for fitness and training”

Firstly I have to wonder why a person who has only been to a “few of surjit’s classes” takes so much time and valor to defend someone he has had so little contact with over two years ago. Secondly when I question kaka cisco’s use on the word “excess” when describing surjits stance on alcohol consumption,

He gives me some mickey mouse answer “we're talking about leaning a martial art here not about Sikhi or Kamaiy..Both your own Sikhi and Kamai is personal to an individual, you got to be pretty stupid to believe that consumption of alcohol is permitted or encouraged in Sikhi, it's obviously not.”… If that’s the case then why use the word excess?? The text book definition of excess is “More than is necessary, normal, or desirable; immoderate”

Anyway as you have now picked up the sword in your fellow surjitists defence, please answer the question I put to him:

“Do you believe that a "Gursikh" individuals Martial discipline can be separated from that persons Sikhi & kamaiy (from a Sikh perspective that is)??”

Now on to singh245, to who’s rescue you have come so beautifully. He starts off with the following:

“go head dude challenge nidar singh... he might have f'ed up ideology he is actually good at what he does”

So from your opening statement you believe that this is a genuine opinion, really? An opinion of what exactly, a stone? So the guy starts off trying to get someone in to a confrontation and then goes on to say that surjit has an “f'ed up ideology” (again his words, not mine), but then finishes off stating but he’s good and what he does… Need I say any more? We all know surjits silly little games in calling the authorities when challenged, so most Singhs choose not to roll around with pigs as I said before.

Now this is my actual reply to his comment, please tell me what part of these statements is “unlogical” – “That my young brother is called an Oxymoron. But those that believe that baba surjits "f'ed up ideology" can be ignored and that its ok to learn from him just because he's good at what he does, is just a plain and simple mo-ron” That all seems pretty straight forward and logical to me buddy!!!!!

I also made a comment about the young man’s grasp of the English language, so please feel free to point out the “unlogical” point made here too.

Now as for coming to meet you or any of your fellow surjitists, I will state this once again for you - I have no interest in rolling around with pigs as I like the lenor fresh smell of my clothes thank you very much + I now know the surjitists tactics too well, so “Compooter says NO”

Im in the states so i have never been to his classes.. but i have heard things about him. I was curious. I help run a non profit here for underage sikh youth. I even tried to bring him here to the states was in talk with his peeps. His peeps got Spooked after i started asking questions about his ideology. The reason i wanted him here was to expose his ideology and see for my self.If you have any background in martial arts you will understand his skill. There have been rumors that some singhs in india are getting ready to challenge him.... like i said know thy enemy.

    • 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.
