Sikh Woman On Interfaith Wedding Issue


Recommended Posts

this whole group of topics this week have been that way, maybe it's just the time of year when we think about the future of the panth that much more ...anyway I'm seriously down now and going to spend time doing paat, nothing else matters or helps.

I lose brain cells when I read silly comments by these so called Sikhs. Makes me wonder how bleak the future is.

VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH

I will oppose all of you and say the following words:

I am in full support of two people from different religious backgrounds getting married. Absolutely!!!!

:omg:

Just not through the Anand Karaj cermony which is reserved for practicing Sikhs.

I don't get the issue. You can get married through civil ceremonies everywhere. If you are marrying outside of the Sikh faith, you are not really a Sikh, are you (unless the definition recently changed and invalidated the Guru's Hukam and the Rehat Maryada, which states that a Sikh should marry a Sikh)? What't the issue? NOBODY here cares if you want to marry a person of another faith/species/alien life form/rocks/trees - it's just that the Anand Karaj is not for you. Go report to the nearest registrar or whatever agency is used in your country and get married. Or if the other spouse to be's faith supports "inter-faith marriages", go get married there.

You inter-faith marriage type people make no sense. You don't practice the faith, you don't do what the Gurus and the Panth say to do, and yet you insist on getting married in front of the Guru...why? What's the point? Tell you what - why not do everything that is involved in the Punjabi weddings EXCEPT the Anand Karaj - that only takes like 15 minutes and you can have the same experience more or less. If you think that doing four rounds around Guru Sahib (which you don't seem to believe in) is vital to your being considered married, then ask yourself why? Do you read Gurbani, do you follow Gurbani, are you following the faith? What are you doing? Why would you want to be a hypocrite in front of Guru Sahib? What are you hoping to achieve? Or what you are REALLY doing is a blind ritual with no meaning or consequence to your life and your new life as a married couple - frankly, every practicing Sikh should be positively offended that you would do this mockery in front of Guru Sahib and is absolutely justified in his/her outrage.

why because I turn my Guru for solace/rebalance instead of getting depressed, reading so many antigurmat things can make you temporarily think 'how is Sikhi gonna survive' when I know my Guru's bachan tells Khalsa Raj will come?

Whats more depressing to know is that we definitely know that Khalsa Raj won't happen during our lifetimes unless things change dramatically fast all we can do is unite and start the foundation for the future Sikhs after us. Also work on our own jeevans too of course.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
