There is no white gurdwara, there is no brown gurdwara, the gurus gurdwara has no color 

I read it literally and thought white marble instantly ...personally prefer the original brown-red brick ones  humble and unassuming as a sikh should be, not flashy

Why any ethnic community opens their own place of worship. I can't think of even one faith which doesn't have places of worship based on ethnicity or cultural differences, even if they follow the exact same interpretations of doctrine and theology as the majority.

birds of a feather flock together ...

Its better then our retarded punjabis opening gurdwars to make money. Stop being a racist piece of turd

errr have you not been paying attention to sikhnet and its activities w.r.t brown sikhs ? they fleece brown sikhs daswand for their own yoga based programs and infernal anti-sikh propaganda and yet promote themselves as better than those same brown sikhs ....that's racism too. I love how they openly accept Yogi Bhajan's analysis of Dasmesh Pita ji's mistakes for giving sikhi to Punjabis  and propagate an attitude of we will improve on Guru ji's sikhi with our liberal manmat ways ...

Probably.  Sigh.  We know that Sikhi is open to all races, but you have to be careful when white people start taking your culture.  Are they starting these gurudwara just because they are good Sikhs and the community needs a gurudwara?  Or are they suffering from a lack of culture and trying to appropriate someone else's, and feel the need to be in control themselves out of lust for power and ego?

 

I'm not sure if this is true, but isn't the moderator of Sikhnet a gori?  He seems to do a good job.

Sounds interesting

The title to me suggested a new White Gurdwara might have been built, NOT ANOTHER ONE I thought to myself 

A Jatha Singh once suggested a thought provoking idea - imagine having only one Gurdwara (Darbar Sahib, Amritsar), the sharda would increase exponentially, be no beadbi cases and the Sangat will queue for days on end to have a glimpse of the True Guru. No need to bash him or think about the practicalities or that we have massive increase in Sikh populous, just think about it! I'm not interested in the negatives.

Even if there was one Gurdwara per country, it can only be of benefit Sikhi in my opinion.

Fast forward to 2021. I take that back about Sikhnet.

ok, but now I read this thread and remembered that goray gurdwaras used to be opened to promote the 3ho cult in the past, here is hope that new gurdwaras opened by whites aren't heavily promoting this (you will notice if kundalini yoga is heavily practised in these gurdwara sahibs or now), although I am not very optimistic.

Well before printing presses of SGPC, it was pretty normal to only have the main gurdwaras to have hand written larrivaar saroop of Adi Guru Granth Sahib. Gurdwaras without sewadaars available were less likely to have Granth Sahib.

For example, when the Puraatan Singhs took over the place in Sirhind where the Sahibazadas were shaheed, the puraatan Singhs only put a shastar for mathe tak, not any Granth Sahib saroop was brajmaan, as nobody would have been been able to be a caretaker or sewadaar.
