Gurudwara Opens In Johannesburg


Recommended Posts

Stop saying two things at the same time Daily Mail. On one hand you said Sikhs did not have career options and joined the Brits and on other hand they joined to fight injustice. They had no other option but to fight as they had joined the Brits as their loyal soldiers.

As I said earlier we cannot re write history. And am just thinking that how Sikhs then who fought so long against the Moghuls earlier just gave up the fight against the Brits and chose to be their servants.

Veer ji

I had a think about it , koi vi anhonee cheej nahin hondi, sare bharamand Waheguru de hukham te chalada: it was written that they, those Sikhs were to take amrit and because it was the sharat placed by the Raj to join the troops that was the mechanism...surely that one fact annihilates any objection we could ever make , they became Guruwale and inspired others to follow suit. They could have stayed home and never had amrit and they would have never inspired the current generations who look at their dastars and uniforms and read of their deeds of bravery and say , 'I want to be a true Gursikh like that, not scared of death, trusting Waheguru with every breath'

It's not all bad ...

It is not that easy because we know what happened in past and very easy to judge. Nobody at that time knows what is going on. It is divide and rule policy played by goray and they contained all negative part of their rule. Same trick gandhi played on restricting knowledge reaching to sukhs when she attacked darbar sahib - played old darbar sahib recorded kirtan at normal time so that ppl think all is ok - while darbar sahib was under heavy tank attacks.

What homeland are you referring to?

And please do not bring Guru in this as

Our Guru gave us everything to be rulers.

And not join the enemy ranks. Imagine

Sikhs joining the Moghuls as their slaves

to oppress other races like how the

British did.

]

Can you please stop confusing yourself?

Omg, where did you get this connection

with laying down of arms and Guru's

message to Bhai Kanaiya. Little knowledge

is really dangerous. Better to admit to

your mistake rather than making more by

trying to justify earlier ones.

J Singh, you come across as very arrogant, obnoxious and rude at the best of times. So in response to your posts I ask how much do you even know about Sikh History? Going by your posts OUR GURU JI joining and marching with Mughal emperors will make Guru Ji and the Singh's in their presence SLAVES? HOW DARE YOU!!!!!

As you state little knowledge is really dangerous. I have quoted your posts so you can not squirm yourself out. Just like you did in other threads, where I have proven you are a liar! Please acknowledge what I am on about or admit to your mistake rather than making more by trying to justify earlier ones, ( sound familiar), btw a google search may not find out what I am talking, but having read BOOKS and having knowledge of Sikh history you will know.

Just being an online pseudo Sikh will not help. Pretending to be something you are not, BTW many others on OUR forum concur, with that statement.

Proven me a liar, really, when did you do that? You do not even how to comprehend simple posts and go about making up statements that I am a student in a school or something.

Just proves how thick you are and how difficult it is for you to understand what is written.

HOW DARE YOU STATE THAT OUR GURU JI JOINED AND MARCHED WITH MOGHUL FORCES.

Bahadur Shah pleaded for Guruji's help in his war of succession against his brother Muhammad Azim.

DO NOT EVER DARE TO DISTORT SIKH HISTORY.

I was not referring to this. But as you bought it up, bhadur shah begged for assistance which Guru Ji obliged. So re read the post I quoted. Your Fourth line to be exact. re read the posts you made, don't try to squirm out.

    • 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.
