Don't:

Seriously though, I think the standard opening statement is: "Guru pyaari sadh sangat, WJKK WJKF!" Then you can plough into whatever it is you want to talk about. If you feel okay about it fold your hands when addressing the sangat, it looks better than having your arms hanging down aimlessly at your side.

If the Sikh Channel, Sangat Tv or Akal TV will be there to film your announcement then I think the second video above ^ sums up how it is always done by we Sikhs. i.e every person that is even remotely involved with that Gurdwara, even if it runs into the hundreds, must stand next to you, behind you and even in front of you (smaller ones) while you make the announcement.

Always remember, your announcement is important but not as important as the inherent Punjabi need to be on camera.

Anyway, once your announcement is done, join the dozens around you in immediately surrounding the poor, frightened, unpaid intern working for the sikh tv station and ask him or her when it will be shown on TV. Someone else will already ask and you'll hear the answer so you won't have to ask. If the answer is "in a few hours time" immediately join all the others iin frantically calling home and telling your little sister to set Sky to record and, bearing in mind how the sikh tv stations don't tend to keep to schedule very well tel her to record the programme due to start before and after your one too. Then, make your way to your wife and tell her what time and day it will be on TV. She will then say "tenu kidha patha ? " "tu puchia si ?", i.e. how do you know....did you ask. When you tell her you were present when someone else asked and you heard the answer she will then say "tu darda puchan ? " "ja puch ke a", i.e are you scared to ask for yourself you pathetic little mouse....be a man and go and ask. At this point you will go and ask the poor intern the question for which you already know the answer. The answer may, perhaps, be next Wednesday at 7pm. As you make your way back to your wife in order to let her know that you are indeed a lion and not a mouse, i.e. you have asked for yourself, you daydream in your head about whether or not next Wednesday, when it's shown on one of the sikh channels, they will have their usual caption on screen saying 'D-LIVE'. You will smile to yourself as you remind yourself how the 'd' stands for 'delayed' which essentially means it's NOT live but you can't help admiring the way the sikh channels habitually put a 'd' in front of the word 'live'. It makes you chuckle inside but you quickly realise that the rest of the sangat might think there's something wrong with you if you keep laughing to yourself so you brush off that smile, reach your wife, tell her you've confirmed it, ask your youngest if he or she wants to come and sit with daddy on the men's side, they say no, and you walk off to the men's side on your own and sit down with the sangat.

THAT ^ is the way it's traditionally done.

If, however, there will be no sikh tv channel there to film it.....well then you're on your own and, as stated, Guru Pyari Sadh Sangat ji, WJKK WJKF is the way to go.

      All Gurdware should be like this

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room.

      Self care of hair

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.

      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?
