I am planning on going on holiday soon. I am not one really for holidays, but I get time off so I thought I may a swell use them.

I was all set and ready to head off to a typical holiday in spain on a nice sunny beach ect for a few days. But then I thought about India. I have not been to India a very long time. ie 10 years. I thought I could also visit some historical places ie around Dehli. I could also make the excursion to Punjab and visit the Amritsar.

But is India ie Dehli worth the visit or would Spain be a better option. its either a sunny beach or the of the hustle and bustle of India. Im not sure whhcih one to chose. Anyone been to both and would recommend me anyone? I have not really been to a beach holiday before only city breaks. So thats why I am not sure which on to choose. Last time I was india I was quite young so could not really experience what it was like and I heard it has now changed alot.

I've never been to Spain; however, from what I've heard you could get a good trip for a cheap and affordable price. If you're looking for ONLY historical gurdwaras then India could be the better option, (there's a lot of nothingness from Non-Sikh places there). I don't know much on how Sikhs are treated in Spain, but I know a lot live in the secessionist state of Catalonia.

Prices are quite cheap at the moment due to the strength of the pound in. yeh I was thinking India has more history compared to spain.

I haven't been to Spain either so don't know much but India is pretty amazing. If you go to India are you just going to stay in Punjab or are you going to check out other states aswell?

Yes I have heard that India is now a big tourist hot spot due to the improvements in infrastructure. Many westerners are starting to go.Well my plans for India would be a 5 to 7 day visit. As its a big country I will need time to visit all the attractions. I was thinking of getting a hotel in Delhi as this is best as a base because it has the best railway/road connections to the rest of India. So its its easy to get to places such as Punjab through the the railway. I was thinking of doing the usual tour of the golden triangle which takes in Dehli attractions, plus agra and taj mahal, jaipur ect.

It takes nearly 7 hours to get to Amritsar/Punjab from Dehli on train so I may need to get another hotel for the day when I am in Amritsar or preferably sleep in the Golden temple accommodation quarters If I can get space there.

Most of my family live in Dehli hence I will feel more comfortable there and know the area reasonably well. I dont know which states to travel to to be honest apart from near dehli areas.

go to himachal pradesh and maybe kashmir if its safe, wont regret it.

i may check them out.

Ive actually been in these areas ie near Jammu and Kashmir before and it the views were amazing of the mountins and lakes not sure if I will have time to go there though as its quite far from dehli and indias trains are not particularly quick .

they say its heaven on earth. I would suggest get a driver as roads can be dangerous or get a 4x4 drive yourself. Also, contrary to a lot of people I would say visit the historical places in Pakistan and also see other areas and judge for yourself how you get treated.

It would help if you mentioned what the goal of your vacation is? Do you want to go to Gurdwaras in India or Beaches and whatnot in Spain? (I believe Spain has some Gurdwaras).

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • 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!!
