Its perfectly reasonable for signage to be used to remind all that they are in the hazoori of the king of kings, therefore guru maharajs teachings and the right of all to worship/meditate must be respected.

Polite notices should be put up to remind all whilst in gurdwara to;

- dress modestly,

- wear sleeves/loose clothes

- keep head FULLY covered

- encourage children to respect sggs ji (not wander alone in diwan hall)

Whilst in langar hall:

- to either serve or to be served langar (refrain from using langar hall as a place to gather to gossip)

- if physically able to; sit on the floor to consume langar as sign of equality of all mankind as prescribed by guru maharaj

Overall respect sacticty of gurdwara and right of all to worship and serve in a tranquil environment.

We can all do with a reminder on how to behave every now and then. I wish more gurdwara committees did more to encourage best practice in guru ghars.

i agree with you fully . Actually we the elders are at fault as we ourselves do not set examples for the next gen, and the values get diluted after every generation , As vigilant mothers , only bibis , the bibis who have themselves have imbibed sikh values ,can bring the situation back to normal .This is my view , and all have their views about the problem so it would be interesting to get different views on th e matter

it will never work its impossible on a wedding day your gonna get girls dressed poorly and men turning up with cigarettes and alcohol breath ive seen it all before

And with the current commercialization of temples i doubt the pardaan will want his wallet affected

on another note what about keertan samagams theres people coming in and out of the darbaar all the time there should be strict time keeping come and sit and stay for the whole divaan especially AKJ samaghams are all rushed and khap khana all over

Basics of sikhi have a really good gurdwara dos and donts poster. Think every gurdwara should implement the signage.

100% agree with op

Do you feel its worthwhile pressuring 'uk sikh council' asking all member gurdware to implementing the poster or something similar?

If the majority of the large mainstream gurdware did so after petitions from common folks it could take off.

A positive attitude (chardikala) can work wonders!

Yeah im sure that would be worthwhile :) worth a try!

BUT would the rules be implemented? Or is the poster just gunna be pinned up amongst the rest on some shoddy notice board...

    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
