Sikh Council Uk - Anand Karaj

They are not being pushed away, they are being given the opportunity to put their ego to one side and join the path of Sikhi, if Anand Karaj is so important to them I'm sure they'll make the required commitment.

D = If only it was that simple Cisco Singh Ji but yes i 100% support the Sikh Council's approach of education prior to marriage for all couples who desire an Anand Karaj (as that was a no-brainer advocated by many including myself long ago) with the minimum fallback position of a Sikh Marriage Blessing at a Gurdwara should sufficient knowledge or commitment not be there from one half of a couple. The key thing for us is avoiding alienating the couple and future children away from Sikhi and the local Gurdwara Sangat and thus pushing the couple away to go to Mandirs and Churches etc, which is something the Sikh Council proposal can potentially achieve from the sound of things.

Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj has already outlined the level of commitment required from those that wish to walk the path of Sikhi

D = Don't forget that Dhan Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj's Anand Karaj with Mata Sulakhani Ji was the first example in history of a former non-Sikh spouse being bought into Sikhi via Anand Karaj.

I agree Cisco Singh that the sanctity of a Gurdwara comes first before money.

But pushing people away from Sikhi to get their marriages blessed at Mandirs and Churches and Dera scams is totally self-defeating for us as we enrich our enemies and strengthen their populations whilst weakening our own Panth's.

Is there any evidence that couples from mixed relationships that have been declined Anand Karaj have had got married in Mosques, churches and Mandirs and the Sikh partner no longer goes to the Gurdwara and has changed their religion.

Ranjeet Singh Ji i personally don't have any statistical analysis to support the common sense inference.

But let's take the case of the Walsall marriage that was blocked recently this month.

The couple just went ahead and got married at a Hindu Mandir subsequently without issue or protest.

I would hazard a guess that they might feel more welcomed by the Hindu community as a result.

And that they might feel happier bringing up their children attending Mandirs in the future as a result.

This is just pure conjecture, do Hindus really get married in Mandirs. They for the most part get married in wedding halls and hotels with a pandit.

I think the Pandits are probably more desperate which they would be more keen for accepting these weddings, yet they are more scornful of two hindus from different castes getting married.

Nevertheless Ranjeet Ji the point still stands.

In as far as that Hindu's did not block wherever the marriage was conducted with the Pandit mumbling his nonsense.

Whereas Sikhs will forever be associated in the couple's mind as the people who "blocked" them from having their marriage and arguably most special day blessed at a Gurdwara.

Ironic given that it was always so-called high caste Qazi's and Pandits that pushed many of Punjab's poorer non-Sikhs (that these Qureshi caste Qazi's and Pandits vehemently despised) in the early 20th century to get married via Anand Karaj and consequently swell Sikh ranks as a result.

Without the Sikhs that came into Sikhi via Singh Sabha parchar and Anand Karaj's of that era there was every chance that Jinnah could have annexed Malwa, Majha and Doaba into Pakistan in 1947 had the numbers been different.

But did the poorer non-Sikhs embrace Sikhi before Anand Karaj or did they did they do this after. This also makes the assumption that only single people embraced Sikhi.

Why u keep makin up ur history for? Muslims were already majority in jalandhar, amritsar, firozpur, and each of those r in majha, malwa and doaba. They were all goin to pakistan anyways, but our ancestors, including my grandad/great grandad, killed as many muslims as possible to ensure we didnt lose land to these sullehh. I for 1 am proud of that too.

Regardin that walsall wedding, they were ALREADY havin a hindu wedding, irrespective of an anand karaj or not!! This is wats gettin on my/our nerves, is how ppl KEEP on sayin how we r pushin ppl away!! Ha! Wat bollox, when they intend to ALREADY have a church/hindu wedding, so how r they bein pushed away? These fuddus care so much bowt sikhi, n want anand karaj, go n tell ur partner bowt sikhi, tell em to become a sikh if ur that adament. Oh and be a bloody sikh urself. Wat makes u fink these tw@ts will have sikh kids, once they have had a hindu/church AND sikh wedding? Gettin sick n tired of these bull arguents! Both partners r sikhs, esp afta anand karaj course = sikh kids = panth expansion.

A sikh women rang sikh channel otherday, sayin how she regrets marryin a hindu, who died recebtly too. The hindu in laws wanted a shaved head for the baby ceremony, n she wanted baby to have incut hair! She openly says, how now shes become religious, she regrets marryin him, but now hes dead, she has the kids all to herself, n will raise em as pure sikhs, with no hindu intervention! End of argument.

My grandfather told me that in pre-partition, 90 out of 100 villages in Kapurthala district were muslims and where Sikhs were a majority in the villages, Muslims constituted a large minority (up to 40 per cent).

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • 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?
