i had longing to write about this issue.... why it is essential to write about this issue is because when i met a person of outside punjab having tambakoo in his mouth in darbar sahib complex ..i was shocked ... he was although innocent because nobody told him about it... after that me & my friend told him to spit in wash basin..ughh... sgpc first tell people about maryada..

i know i too am not perfect .... i myself commit very big mistakes ....

but where are tbe sewadars?

during my childhood. when i went to darbar sahib with my mom....

we were very much scared of them...they were so strict....they scolded us for not covering our heads.. respect to sarovar sahib...not throwing parshad to feed fishes..into the sarovar...its cleaniness..& the most important checking of alcoholic person or tambakoo in people's mouth ... each kind of maryada they took great care.. it was harsh but joy to learn the maryada strictly...

people used to talk less while they wore simple clothes...& no mobiles..

sewadars used to teach us like a family ... i am not saying they were rude .,never but much more like teaching us lessons.... they had good control almost everywhere in the complex ..& people were understanding ....

before entering of complex. they took great care ...

& please dont tell me nowadays there is much more people coming...& it is difficult ...yes...but then there must be more sewadars..olden ones had kind of love & duty to tell us...

TOURISTS THINK THIS IS A TOURIST SPOT BUT ITS A RELIGIOUS PLACE..

sewadars must tell people to be silent .. where are they...?

who's there to tell people cover their heads... & tell its meaning & maryada... i never blame all of them but i think thhats a big flaw...

before entering people should be shown videos telling them maryada... there must be more boards in all languages ...& many more ...

sometimes i tell people to cover their heads ,be silent ,etc & then they would see me like for a long time thinking --- " who the heck are u hhh? noones bothering...who r u hh?? one time i remember i told an old sikh woman while she was taking amrit from the sarovar while dipping her legs into the sarovar.. i interrupted her ...she said angrily " asi ishnaan nhi karde, udon vi te pair payide ne .." she would've thought of me like " wadda sikh banda ee"

before going to ishnaan first we go to gusal khana to first bath ourselves then take a dip at sarovar with cleaniness.. still correct me if I'm wrong ...

it takes great courage to tell people alone..

...please we need to put more emphasis on this,...

these r my personal views & thats what i've noticed..sorry if i am wrong or hurt any1..

no haume ji..i myself is a biggest sinner.....

bhula di kheema karni...

sri akaal ji sahai!

I agree. We need strict maryada to be followed by everyone who visits. This should include modest dress and fully covered heads. Tourist or not, when in a religous place, i wouldve thought its common sense to show respect and speak quiety if at all necessary. The problem is, we see our own people barking in there like theyre at home, or sitting around like theyre out on a picnic, or having little sword fights :/ so we're not exactly setting a decent example. And the new benches, trees and dancing fountains in the new plaza dont exactly encourage religious behaviour, rather it encourages people to sit around and socialise.

Also, the new fixed overhead shelter thing over the bridge leading from darshani deori to darbar sahib, not only is it hideous, not only does it detract and defeat the object of the darshani deori and the related architectural marvel, but the shading and fans also once again encourage people to move at leisure, and chit chat away. Sgpc...there arent enough ill words to describe them.

Also, the "sewadars" who get paid by spgc to stand there in their tacky blue robes and chat away with their blunt chrome barshay (spears), are just there to look pretty. Not once have i seen them actioning anything. If something needs implementing, its usually the general sangat who speak up and get shiz done

      Nidar Singh Nihang X The Ranveer show podcast

      By ipledgeblue · Posted

      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.

      Why are starched turbans hated?

      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?

      30th May over 6th June?

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      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.

      do uk ramgharia gurdwaras disrespect langar maryada and treat it as a restaurant, is their use of ramgharia label a scam?

      By VSinghz7 · Posted

      best thing is to follow the Sikh Rehat Maryada and use common sense for gray areas. Anything outside of that's irrelevant tbh that code is what Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the 5 Pyaare agreed on when creating Amrit in 1699
