All The "singhs" Are Good For.

It is amusing how these couples and their families bow down to Guru Sahib Ji with a sincere heart and nimarta. The truth is far from this.

These people have NO love for Guru Ji or Sikhi. It is just a matter of a big show off -

Keep beard just for the anand karaj then as soon as it is done, shave it off in the toilets - is this bowing down to Guru Ji?

Hold a 3 foot kirpan in the gurdwara and then dance the night away - is this bowing to Guru Ji ?

Tie pag in the gurdwara and then throw it off as soon as it is over - is this bowing to Guru Ji ?

The bride hardly has her head covered while doing the lava - is this showing respect to Guru Ji ?

If you want to show respect then become Sikh first. Then nobody can even throw an angry glance at you.

When a non Jew wants to marry a Jew he/she has to go through a rigorous test. They get tested on Jewish law and history, they have to convert before the Jew will marry him or her.

When a muslim marries outside he/she demands that the partner converts first, only then they marry.

What do we do? We have none Sikhs come into the gurdwara, make solemn promises infront of Guru Ji - make solemn pact with Guru Ji with full ardaas. Then go off forget about it and party all night.

So why are we such idiots ? Why do we not demand that the partner converts first ?

That is the state of affairs with us, and we get people come on here and complain that some Sikhs are making a stand against this. You should hang you heads in shame.

Bundha Bhai Sahib (respect to you as an artist btw) but have you fully thought this through?

So there are 5 million Sikhs in this generation of marriageable age (let's assume for argument's sake).

Remarkably only 20% find a spouse who doesn't happen to be born in a Sikh family background (despite the populations of the two main diaspora bastions of Sikh populations ie the UK and Canada being 99% non-Sikh and even India itself supposedly being 98% non-Sikh).

So OK via your method people like you stand at the gates and ruin the most joyous day of a couple's life.

And you successfully ban 1 million erstwhile Sikhs (of the 5million = 20%) from having an Anand Karaj at a Gurdwara.

The consequence of which is that the couple and all their future generations are lost from Sikhi permanently.

Via these tactics the Diaspora Sikh populations will be half of what they currently are within just 2 generations.

It's an absolute no-brainer (demographically and morally) as to why we need to focus on drugs, alcohol, female infanticide, biraderi apartheid, illiteracy, cancer and poverty as the bigger threats to the Sikh Panth.

And focus on welcoming all so-called mixed couples into the Panth so that they and even more importantly their children feel an integral part of the Sikh Panth which is universal and inclusive in outlook.

I would not be Sikh today if people had stopped my non-Sikh ancestors from having been blessed with an Anand Karaj as recently ago as the 20th century. Millions of non-Sikhs came into Sikhi through the blessing of Anand Karaj.

Try telling that to a Muslim that he can celebrate the most joyous moment of his/ her life with a non Muslim and get wed the Muslim way.Compare their numbers with ours.

D = Bundha Ji the first part of your posts apply equally to couples where both partners are nominally Sikh. A potential solution which can keep all parties within the Panth on the same page and welcome new members to the Panth would be to perhaps reserve Anand Karaj for Amritdhari couples and have a Sikh wedding service for those who wish to marry in a Gurdwara but are not currenty Amritdhari.

Bundha = When a non Jew wants to marry a Jew he/she has to go through a rigorous test. They get tested on Jewish law and history, they have to convert before the Jew will marry him or her. When a muslim marries outside he/she demands that the partner converts first, only then they marry.

D = Bundha Ji all three Abrahamic faiths also condone slavery. Does that mean Sikhs should follow the mistakes of others? Sikh ik vakhri Qaum ne!

D = If all the other religions build fancy places of worship costing tens of millions, why do we feel the need to copy them when Guru Sahib wanted us to worship in simple Gurughars rather than wrongly adorn places of worship with gold when Guru Sahib would have wanted the gold melted to feed the poor.

So why are we such idiots ? Why do we not demand that the partner converts first ?

D = A human being that bows down before Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj with a sincere heart is the base definition of an ordinary lay Sikh.

That is the state of affairs with us, and we get people come on here and complain that some Sikhs are making a stand against this. You should hang you heads in shame.

D = Bhai Sahib please be so kind as to address the points I have put forward on this thread if you disagree with me (as I respect the sincerity of why you feel the way you do). But I am sincerely arguing that what you are saying is totally wrong and will result in the annihilation of Sikh diaspora populations within a couple of generations.

Yep, it's the numbers game unfortunately; numbers that the other faiths have in absolute abundance. If we carry on the way things are headed they'll be very little left of us.

In an ideal world of justice and fair play, yes, we should be able to marry people of other backgrounds and bring them before Guru Sahib so they can pay their respects, and begin a lifelong journey of acquainting themselves with Sikhi.

But we know that in reality once the formalities are over, aside from another wedding or a death, none of these individuals will ever step foot inside a Gurdwara, much less raise children in the Sikh way. Yes, there'll be exceptions, but never enough to make a huge difference. That's not to say bully-boy tactics are the way forward, because they're not.

    • 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.
