Can you read or you just have to say something for the sake of it. For your understanding again we are talking about our Gurus who gave the name Amritsar and not about any Sant or Babas.

Do you not even know what you yourself have been saying ?

You've been referring to those that say 'Ambarsar' as "backward" and non-Sikh.

I don't know why.....I mean there must be a reason......but I just don't know why some of you are covering your eyes and ears and pretending that you just haven't seen or heard how Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, in his speeches, also used to call Amritsar 'Ambarsar'.

You see and read that and yet you still continue to label all those that do as 'illiterate backward pendus' and non-sikhs. :wow:

veera please provide an example because Sant ji's ucharan was impeccable and I can't think of hearing him with that thick accent to say it that way, maybe I'm wrong because I just loved listening to him I looked passed the distractions and to the message.

I don't have recordings to hand jkvlondon. I wouldn't even know how to access them now and put them on this website. I.T. is not my forte. But, like most of you, I have listened to his talks and I've also listened to kathas by so many eminent Sikh Giyanis. I've also listened to so many dhaddis singing about Amritsar. The one thing they all have in common is that they all pronounce the place as Ambarsar. They do so because they are talking and singing in Punjabi, and virtually all Punjabi speakers pronounce it as Ambarsar. What would be surprising is if they didn't say Ambarsar because then one would have to guess that Punjabi isn't their first language or mother tongue. Since the day the city was formed it has been called Ambarsar by Punjabis. Amritsar by non-Punjabis....but Ambarsar by native Punjabi speakers.

Please forgive me for not having the time to source his speeches but I'm sure its something you could do relatively easily.

I graduated with masters over 10 years ago -check my linkedin ? Re read the thread where is your anti caste post? All other threads you do post your anti caste message, but where is in this one? BTW are you still a student? Or are you a father of two school age kids?

Are you taking something to remedy your confused mind set? First you write that I don't mind bhatras.When I tell you that I have done that in the previous posts you get confused and ask why I did not post my anti caste comment here. Again forgetting language is being discussed here and not any rotten castes.I feel sorry for your teachers who taught you and awarded you a degree.

Wow so you came to Punjab way back in the 80s to listen to Sant Ji's talks or Sant Ji came to UK to talk to you? And you have amazing memory for your age, man if have listened to Sant ji and still remember how he called Amritsar Ambarsar.

I said I haven't got any speeches sitting in my pocket just on the off-chance that someone randomly asks me to upload them.

If you have then you post them for us.

Either way, please tell us all what not having uploads and, for that matter, not knowing how to upload, has got to do with 'being in Punjab in the 80's' ? :ohno:

I wrote Sikhs call it Amritsar and Johnny explained why. Where did you read "non Sikh"?

Remember saying this JSinghnz ? : "Amritsar for Sikhs and Ambarsar for crude, backward Punjabis" :stupidme:

    • 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.
