i am glad that someone had mentioned about the Aartee..cuz i just had visited india and went to many gurdwaras in which one was Sachkand Hazoor Sahib and had a awsome time but one thing that confused me was that they did Aartee there and the granthees there would have an orange tikaa or something on there forehead which to me didnt make any sense. i am surprised to see some of the hindu rituals are still happening in the Gurudwaras in india!..and also some the gurudwaras would put Guru Ji's picture in front of the Guru Granth Sahib ..so u would be bowing to the pic and the Guru Granth Sahib..that i thought was wrong..i dont kno why they put the pictures in front of the Guru Granth Sahib?? :T:

Sat Sri Akal:

One thing that we all must realize that the Gurudwaras in India were in the hands of Hindus for quite a while (up the early 1920's when the Gurudwaras were finally handed back to the Sikhs from the hands of mahants and pandits). And until VERY recently, the identity of a Sikh was not really considered that separate from Hindus (1984 was really the separation point that awoke the common Sikh to realize that they are indeed a separate Panth - until then, it was mostly acknowledged by Sikh scholars and leaders).

It will take a while to slowly find and weed out such practices.

Artee should be done by Sikhs: but not like the Hindus. No thaals with divas or flowers. Just the singing of the Artee Shabads. I really like the tune myself. www.tapoban.org has a very nice version of aartee

So sing artee, just don't do the other stuff. They do it every day at Sree Darbaar Sahib Amritsar.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh,

I have heard/seen the Aarti being done at local Gurdwara Sahibs, and I dont know the tuk from the top of my head, but a tuk comes where it is about flowers, and at that point flowers are showered over Guru Ji as a sign of respect, now that cant be wrong can it? :T:

Guest sikh4life

why kill the flowers and take life away from them to show respect to the Guru?

isnt respecting God more important by NOT killing the flowers.. remember God is in every plant/animal/being! ?

    • 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?
