You will come across one trillion JATHEYBANDIYAAN, Sikh temples based on every single caste you can think of, then, you will come across the amritdari and non amritdari Sikhs, the meat eaters and the non-meat eaters, the alcohol drinkers and the non alcohol drinkers! You will meet those that support/don't support anandkaraj of interfaith marriages, there are those that also think they are very modern and westernized to follow Sikhi! Some, you will find, don't see the necessity to accept the amrit, some believe you don't have to do five banies after the amrit and some say only 3 banies will suffice.

You forgot the seemingly popular group now at days for Sikhs-In-Name-Only and that's believing all religions lead to the same place.

I knew, I had missed something out. Thank you for mentioning it. One more thing, I also forgot to mention is, that our brother Joe,the wanna be Sikh, will also encounter many lookalikes Sikhs with turbaned heads minus their beards, appearing more like little lost goats or sheep instead of courageous lions!

And the other flipside: full kesh flowing dhari Singhs who are proper cowards too. Donkeys hidden under a tiger skin.

I honestly don't think most of them are being racist, rather they are mostly just interested in what inspired him or her to follow Sikhi, (you seem a bit too quick to judge a fellow human being for seeing something which isn't usual for what he or she have always seen at the Gurdwara).

Some people are just curious. It's not a bad thing.

Thing I love about Sikhi is that you have to fight for it. You have to go through all the negative bullsh1t muscleman highlighted to get at it, but if you persevere and manage to, what you find is inexpressible.

But if you're looking for club to belong to, to make your life comfortable and get some tribal sense of belonging and a sense of superiority - better look elsewhere!

I have personally seen and heard racist sikh losers including my own grandmother talk about white people like they are scum- there are indeed many racist punjabi sikhs, that's a given.

Before you go judging your grandma, you might consider her experiences of whites may have been a world apart from yours. In some countries open,violent racism is no longer socially acceptable - most young <banned word filter activated> people who've grown up in recent times can't even get their heads around how things were REALLY different in the recent past. These things shape perceptions.

    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
