You often post suggesting that others are 'fanatics'. Making that suggestion to a Sikh that is the modern day equivalent of calling a black person a n**** in the 50s.

I have not used the term "fanatic" on this forum in the past year and a half. Only when I first joined, did I throw that word around, I will admit that, but I haven't referred to any Sikh on here as a fanatic recently. You must've been reading some really old posts where I wasn't getting too much sleep and taking it out on people here. By the way, how many mistakes have you made in your life?

Your example kind of offends me too. You know how much I support the Civil Right Movements and want to see anyone who mistreats an African American, or any other person based on their skin color, to be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Nobody should refer to a black person as that horrible word in the 1950s or in 2008 or in any century! Now I feel like you're trying to get a rise out of me and before I type these keys any harder, I will stop at this point

P.S. Nice job of buttering me up, I commend you for that, but please use a bit more jam next time. I prefer Snozberry. Much appreciated!

I have been tying my beard for last few years. I tried fixo but never liked it. Now for a very long period I have been using strong freezing gel for my beard and hair glue for my long heavy moustache. It has been working very well. It takes only few minutes in morning. Just apply gel, tie thhathhee and dry with hair dryer. Hair glue keep moustache well in place for atleast one day.

I respect what everybody here believe, but I believe if we don't cut beard, we should keep it well groomed, be it flowing or tucked in.

My opinion is this

Do whatever you need to be proud of your dhara (obviously without cutting it). I work on site as an engineer sometimes so tie it up using hair spray (tresemme extra hold) or shockwaves extra hold (no other will dO!!!) and as long as I can walk out of the house feeling happy with my dhara, then thats what i'll do. Sometimes I hate it so i'll leave it out and that is just as good!

But stop making ppl feel guilty, we are not living in india, we are not in Guru's time unfortunately so keep up the rehit, but adjust where you ahve to.

What does the above exactly mean. By using the same logic a person can say I can cut my beard.

Tie your beard only if there is no other way around it at work. Coming to the Gurdwara or walking around town when work is over with the beard tied is a clear sign of the person inability to believe in Guru Sahib, hin insecurity of having Guru Sahib identity and it shows the person is not making the effort to step away from maya.

Maya?

I hope you wear bana and not hoodies, shirt, tie, trousers or shoes. These are all british imposed clothing which we wear so that is also maya?

Do you use a car? = maya? Follow your country's tax system?

You need to draw a line somewhere! The problem is this, most of the kids these days get advice from ppl like you and think ok if that's the way then yes I might aswell cut my beard. Instead of teaching them what the beard is all about and for those who want to tie it up, let them, but they need to be proud. I have got a lot of advice from ppl, and they are all narrow minded, look at "craig david singhs" and judge. That's not what a sikh is, sorry bro, but its not!

So tie you beard or leave it flowing, but be confident in keeping your kes. Its better for out panth to have a sikh who can walk tall, uplift all he sees regardless of who they are and become an inspiration for youngsters to be. Rather than a singh who is imposing ppl to 1. keep their beard without teaching them about it or what its functions are for a male body and 2. telling them if they tie it up, they are anti gurumat!

Do explain this more man. I would love to hear this.

Your one stubborn man and have not read my whole post. It's visible anger has got the best of you here. So come back in 10 minutes when your calm and then read my post again and then give a reply.

Making accusation with no merit is what SPN team does very often. You sound like one of them.

You call others narrow minded, but in your post this only apply to you.

So stay in Chardikala and then come and give a response.

You want Sikhs to be proud of tying their beard up in general!!! So a Sikh should be proud to hide his identity, which Guru Gobind Singh Sahib ji blessed us with. You sound like a snake and a very sneaky snake I must add.

But do stay in Chardikala

    • 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.
