I have no idea but they have started posting on their Facebook page again after a few months.

I noticed that too, that's why I thought it better to ask everyone if they knew something that we don't. I've got no personal beef with them and I'm not a fan. But for the sake of youth parchar I hope this is resolved properly and put to bed.

Is this jatha under the AKJ umbrella, or have they splintered off? Tough to keep up with these developments.

They imitate some of the practices of the Jatha, notably Saas-Giraas Simran and Rehansbhais, but they've never been a limb of the AKJ.

They seem to draw their influences from quite a few of the older traditions within Sikhi, particularly the Sants.

"youth" ?

"put to bed" ?

Given the allegations and circumstances, probably not the best choice of words !

LOL

This whole samasya seems silly.. That's why I don't prefer talking to people.

im not anti social but I'm anti i.d.iot lol. I don't know who is an i.d.iot or not so I just keep my distance.

Oh I see. I'm assuming the sant figurehead they pay obeisance to is Baba Ranjit Singh? Or am I off-target with that one?

They strike me as a hybrid of quite a few groups as you mentioned, notably AKJ and Nanaksar.

No you're bang on, Baba Ranjit Singh is particularly well regarded, if the NKJ can be said to belong to any Jatha it would be his.

They wear the garb of the Nihang Singhs, perform Kirtan in the manner of the AKJ, and Katha in the manner of the sants/nanaksar. They're like a Sikhi potpourri.

    • 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.
