I just curious what you guys think about this. Because I think parkash should only happen in side Gurdwara. I think a while back there was a Hukamnama about not taking SGGS to Hotels and other places for anand karaj. Here we have one example. Lets hear your thoughts.

Think back to Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib ji's time. Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji prakash happened in the open, but back then Singhs had methods to discipline those who purposely tried to disrespect the prakash. Disrespect can happen by talking loud, having your own function next door which is against the teachings of Gurbani or wearing inappropriate attire in and around the prakash of Guru Sahib. Singhs in the 1980s used to do Prakash of Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji outside in the farms and it was one of the best atmospheres according to the Sikhs witnessing it. Even then the Singhs good handle any disrespect committed by people. People smoking, drinking, dress inappropriately would know not to go near the Prakash because Singhs will give us a lesson in being respectful.

However today, we don't have the same case. Today, we have Sikhs openly disrespecting Guru Sahib and seem completely fine with it. Having a wedding at your house in the open is an awesome feeling if you can control for any disrespect to be stopped immediately. Sikhs today bring Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji to their house to bless the wedding, but they don't care to respect Guru Sahib. They have coolers and fridges filled with alcohol ready to be served after the Anand Karaj is complete and Guru Sahib is off the property. Sometimes beers are being passed around while the Anand Karaj is happening. Meat waits in the freezer and fridge to be put out afterward for the guest as if Guru Sahib was never present. Whether people cover their head or sit down on the ground is optional according to how religious a family is. The amount of disrespect that takes place at a house is not controlled because the wedding family considers it not to be disrespectful. Anand Karaj taking place on beaches are full of disrespect. Women and men walking around on the beach with beers, meat and dressed in inappropriate attire cannot be controlled for and neither is it ever. Two people making out next to the Anand Karaj can't be stopped. The guest are there to have a good time and can't wait for the Anand Karaj to be over. Again Guru Sahib is immediately taken away, out of sight and the real fun begins for the wedding guest. Sikhs of the past had respect for Guru Sahib and doing wedding or other religious events outside was not an issue. Sikhs would take care of anyone who will try to disrespect the function in the most appropriate method. Today Sikhs are the one's who are doing the disrespect, so who is going to police them?

The Hukamnama was issued to stop this sort of beadbi (disrespect) from taking place. But a Hukamnama is only effective if there is proper enforcement behind it. The Sikhs today have no power to enforce the basic respect in a Gurdwara. If every Sikh took responsibility of their own actions, there would be no need to issue such Hukamnama.

VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH

Sure we do:

http://www.freedomandleela.com/sikh-wedding-priest-for-punjabi-wedding/

http://www.anand-karaj.org/ (same folks, different website).

He may have wised up, as the second website has this note:

"PLEASE NOTE: Dr. Freedom Singh has a set of Sikh Scriptures in Mexico."

Before, it stated that they would bring the Sikh scriptures to the location of the wedding, though his "included" section states that Guru Granth Sahib Ji is "included" as part of his services.

How quaint that we have turned our Guru into our servant rather than being the other way around.

What's wrong in having Parkash on a beach?

Dosen't mahraj have the right to go to beach.. end of the day it is his creation , he can be present anywhere.

Obviosuly I am not saying wear bikinis with mahraj around , I cannot see any bikinis in the previous photo?

Wahts the problem

the problem is that these two jokers are known to do mixed faith marriages , also there is no mention that that the beach is reserved for only the wedding people so you could have people wandering into area barely clad in clothing . Guru ji is not supposed to o where we want but we are supposed to go to Guru ji ....it's kind of saying yes I will follow Guru ji but only if he is in a place I find conducive ...sad so pathetic

these guys are from Vancouver I think. I have heard that a private area of a beach was used for one wedding with security controlling the borders, so there was no regular tourists wandering in (jkvLondon :biggrin2:) However, I have no idea if this is what happens at all locations.

One positive point I have heard from the young couples is that why should they have their parents spending 100K for some banqueting suite where open and kulah maas is served along with enough liquor, yet no Sikh complains or argues about the manmat activites at every major city, every weekend.

On the whole, I agree with akalifauj that it's our own shortcoming and problem that we can't organise sensible monitoring and policing to avoid any beadbi at all costs. We Sikhs are the cause of most of our own problems but the first to go and start pointing fingers. It's a shame that the utmost regard and respect is not given to Gurusahib or the sacred value of anand karaj, whether it be at home, gurughar or abroad.

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • 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. 
    • 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.       
    • 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.

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?
