Do Moneh Have The Right To Ask Sikh Question Or Talk About Sikhi?

Seva of Gurudwaras and control should always be under Amritdhari singhs. There is no second opinion about that.

Which seva are you referring to? Or do you mean that any and all types of different seva in gurdwaras should only be performed by Amritdhari Singhs? What about Amritdhari ladies?

It's obvious, bro. Maharaj's seva, langar seva, degh seva, etc., should be for Gursikhs. I don't think anybody can stop moneh from doing dishes and general cleaning.

I am referring to management of Gurudwara sahibs and election process in which only keshadhari sikhs should vote.

There should be no debar on ladies. .

Yeah I agree with that, I thought that GPS was suggesting that even the seva of washing dishes/cleaning should be for Gursikhs only, which doesn't seem fair somehow.

Maybe it's time for me to change my name, everyone thinks I'm a guy...

Oh I'm very sorry, sis, haha. I miss the 'Kaur' bit of your name and only seem to focus on the 'M' and the '89' bits!

If you visit langar management at harmandir sahib. you will find many westerns with head covers cutting vegetables and peeling onions outside

at entrance. That is perfectly in order.

That is how we get new entrants among some of them.

In 1960s Col Nasser was president of Egypt.He came to pay a visit to harmandir sahib along his staff while on visit to india.

He took langar sitting on the ground(That time there was no langar hall). He was so impressed by the scene that he emptied

his pockets and donated every penny for langar.

Such institutions are open for all. We cann't debar anyone. The maiin purpose is to serve humanity in need.

This is all good when non-Sikhs have no agenda. But do you think there were any times in history when ONLY Amritdharis were allowed to make langar for sangat and Satguru's fauj?

Some Gurdwara allow degh to be brought from homes. Sure this encourages people to participate in the process, but there has been cases where foreign material like nails were put in degh and then brought to the Gurdwara. It was some form of black magic. So people believe in a lot of things and telling who is Sikh from a non-Sikh is very hard.

Those that do seva in Langar halls and speak to the main caretakers will know what evil intentions some of the sangat has and how to best deal with such bad intentions.

    • All 10 sikh gurus are Surya vanshi Jats. Bedi trehan bhalla and sodhi are descended from Surya vsnhi king Dasrath father of Sri ram, laxman, Bharat, and shatrugunah.  Sri ram birth lav and kush from whom bedi and sodhi come, Bharat bhalla, and laxman trehan guru angad dev jis gotra.  That's why the sikh gurus military capital aka Akal Takhat had Surya vanshi flags. Hari Mandir was also constructed after Babar destroyed Ram Mandir as a symbol that Ram Chanders legacy and descendants were still alive in kal yug and that the resistance to invaders was fully active.  The British created the sgpc to suppress this knowledge as they wanted to divide sikhism from its roots so they could divide and rule, as punjab was the last region that had not come under their pay check. False parchariks under the East India Comlany pay roll manufactured the divide between sikh and hindu when in fact they are the same thing. This divide eventually led to Operation Blue Star.    Bhul chuk maf karna.  Their original clan flag
    • Ik i'm a few (13) years late but basically: Get a single Mal-mal dastar (around 3-5 metres) and starch it. You just whisk 2 ladles of starch (Kershaw's, cornstarch or maida) with around 5 cups of water until it's completely smooth and mix it on low heat flame for around 20 mins until it goes clear and think like water. When this cools off, take a clean but damp turban and soak it into the starch and make sure you coat the whole dastar evenly You leave it out to hang dry in the sun/air. Once dry u can store it in a cool, dry place until you wanna tie it (for about 4 months) Take the dastar, sprinkle some water all throughout the turban to make it slightly wet and just soft enough to tie. Then you and another person hold the dastar at each end to make a stretched rectangle (two people holding one corner in each of their hands). Fold it in half width-wise 3 times. Tie the turban like this quite loosely. The starch will make it tighter as it dries BUT TIE IT STAIGHT ONTO YOUR HEAD. NO MINi-TURBAN BENEATH IT. JUST TIE YOUR FLATTENED JOORA ON TOP OF YOUR HEAD AND THE DASTAR DIRECTLY ON TOP Secure it with pins and wear it on your head until it has dried from the water you sprinkled before the pooni. After it has completely dried (give it around 3-4 hours just to make sure) you take it off your head DO NOT UNWRAP IT TAKE IT OFF IN IT'S SHAPE and the next time you need to wear you can just place it on your head over your flattened joora instead of tying this. You can do this for around 5 months after you first tied it until you have to ever tie it again.
    • I tie a Punjabi style dastar with starch. Why do people hate this so much? Once when I was tying my dastar my neck seized up and the apna doctor said staying in that position daily for more than 5 mins is dangerous. He recommended a starched pagg like his dad. And I respect my pagg more than my life. I put it on the top shelf of my cupboard whenever it isn't on my head, recite Waheguruji da naam whenever I am tying my joora, fifty and when i place the Dastar on my head and I mata thek and kiss  it before I do. And when I do tie it (every 4 months when the starch starts to weaken) I make sure that I pooni and tie it with much love and whilst reciting paath. I get that if someone treats their turban like a hat (eg: throwing it on the floor, cramping it or just disrespecting it) then this is unacceptable but just cos one puts their pagg on their head rather than tying it each time doesn't mean they treat it as such. (and let's be honest, starched or not we've all put our dad's pagg on our head like a hat when we were kids as a joke and meant no disrespect. Intention is everything). Ik Singhs who get angry tying their pagg and start doing maa/phen di gaaliyan, and when they take it off they just throw to the side and wait to tie it again next time. (Also, I'm from a Jat Sikh family so pls don't try to make this about "starched paggs are tarkhan/caste based" or anything stupid like that). PS: I do remember that stupidness in the 90s/early 2000s UK when Sikh men used to have a tiny starched paggs and were completely clean shaven or had a little goatee like Herbie Sahara/ Vijay from achanak. Now THAT was stupid and deserves all the hate but I just mean the concept of a starched dastar whether it's Punjabi Style, Kenyan style or whatever
    • Anyone know how to tie this turban? My Nani's dad tied it, it was starched but i can't work out whether the pooni was kenyan orpunjabi (like folded or an actual pooni). This was very common before partition, and uses a single dastar (not double stitched). Is it js Kenyan pagg with a higher larr?
