Fateh

I have a cousin who seriously believes there is a family problem where the spirit of a deceased relative is creating problems for everyone. She’s had arguments in her marriage amongst other things and now refuses to see family members as she believes they encourage the bad spirit and keeping away keeps her in a better place.

Apparently her and her husband both hear things in their house.

I don’t exactly believe that but I’ve recently had a disagreement with her, really she just couldn’t accept I wasn’t on the same page with her views and judging by her messages they both got annoyed and immature in the messages they sent me. I told them there’s nothing wrong in my life etc so not possible to believe what she is saying- I shouldn’t have said that.

Since then my spouse and I keep arguing, it’s like nothing happens and then suddenly blows up and can even become violent. It’s not like us and I can’t help have they cursed me or has their bad luck jumped on me? If so what can I do? Any particular path?  

Thanks

It’s now worse. 

Another arguement which resulted in him throwing multiple electrical items at me, a glass and breaking some of my stuff.

He’s now left, I also agreed he should get out and go. We have two young infants and this is not like us or not does this happen often. It’s out of character

 

Can anyone shed any light into my first post?

look we only get  , what we sow  , arguing was down to the two of you ....I would concentrate on that rather than try to blame a third party . Unless you happen to be arguing about said person/s  then that is simply you allowing another's views colour/influence yours .  Your husband is totally out of order throwing missiles at you , but you need to think on how you behaved yourself how much was just trying to win the argument for your ego's sake , did you swear , did you goad him into a fight ? it all matters . I would suggest also have sukhmani sahib running in your home to bring calm to the atmosphere and protection of bani , if you are nitnemi make sure you stick to it  and stay away from others' domestic politics , they have to deal with it themselves . Think about creating a safe and calm home for your children . Waheguru Kirpa karen your husband will realise his mistakes and make amends.

Never boast of your own happiness to someone who is suffering , just like if you are richer you never show off in front of another who is struggling it invites jealousy and trouble . Be understanding and supportive if you can , if  not, don't say anything . It may be true they have troubles in their home because our homes are older and it may be a spirit not necessarily related ...if they are that worried they can start doing their paat daily too and take Guru ji sharan

Some people are just rabid; no decorum or sense of propriety. Sometimes us superstitiously-inclined ethnic groups are drawn towards rationalising our problems by viewing them through the lens of the occult, whereas the reality is most likely a commonplace, humdrum reason that we've overlooked in a hysterical rush to arrive at a solution.

Bal - thanks

jkv - slightly patronising but generally what I needed to hear

mister - This forum has changed. Someones genuinely worried and panicking due to their husband going off on one and people are rude in their tone of response.... but you have others on here talking openly about how they are gay and marrying a woman for their own gain of not telling their family but ruining her poor life and people act like that’s okay giving advice to support the marriage. 

Use to be a forum with real Sikhs supporting in a nice manner, providing Gurmukhi if required to support answers. Now it’s useless and I won’t be asking for advice here, think mumsnet is better!

look I am probably a lot older than you and have had 22 years plus of dealing with politics in the two extended families . When there's something going wrong in the house it is dangerous/unwise to try and explain it away by giving the blame to something outside , especially given the extent it reached .


Your cousin's problem is secondary really and can wait .( kind of a distraction)

The reap-sow thing is the gurmat message  not me sorry if you think it's patronising . but really don't fill your head with other stuff keep it clear to deal with stuff in front you . Don't take any ish from your husband , if he is violent once he will be again , call the police . If he was drinking , try to get his folks/friends to help him stay away from it , it wont help anything.

Stay safe , and ask Guru ji for help.

There's no such thing as bad luck or luck in general. There's only karma.

Whats happening is your own Maya at play. You can't blame ghosts for your own actions. Take responsibility, change your attitude and move forward. A ghost us a reflection of your own state...you see what you want to see. If you see a ghost, recognise it as God teaching you. 

 

Focus on your own life, be responsible for your own life.

I just read this. My last response was to the bad luck element in your first post. I assumed the violence went both ways, didn't realise he was hurting you and it's one way.

 

Good u kicked your husband out, it's the sensible and practical thing to do, and the best thing also for your children so well done.

 

Stay strong and if possible, get family support. If you don't have family support, there are organisations that can help. If in the UK, call the Sikh helpline for advice- Not sure what country you're in. Make sure your financial situation is okay and don't give in to him. Once domestic abusers start, it's highly likely that they'll strike again. Make him realise that you have support...suffering in silence may cause him to see u as vulnerable and come back and repeat his actions. 

 

Etay strong, God bless you

No one deserves that kind of physical abuse, no matter what was said. 

 

To the OP, don't ever think that him physical abusing you is your fault. Get support ok. 

 

God bless

      Gurbani Santhiya

      By Dsinghd · Posted

      I was searching igurbani.com which gives correct pronunciation of Gurbani. I can’t remember all of it at once. I guess it relies on more practice, like more Sehaj Paths. The meaning becomes clearer. I have noticed slight variants in it. This could be because it’s written in old Punjabi.

      Veer Manpreet Singh claims we shouldn't worship Guru Granth Sahib ji

      By BhForce · Posted

      Veer Manpreet Singh, a lay preacher, claims that -Sikhs aren't supposed to worship Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We are only supposed to worship God as is written in Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We only "revere" Guru Granth Sahib ji.     He says a lot of other things in this video, some are good refutations of Hindu superstitions, but the reformers often go too far. Anyways, what he is saying about not worshipping Guru Granth Sahib ji is totally wrong. The reason is Guru Granth Sahib ji is Guru. Guru is Satguru. Satguru is God. We worship God. Therefore, we also worship Satguru (Guru Granth Sahib ji).   There are innumerable verses in Gurbani equating God and Guru. ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਡੁਬਦਾ ਲਏ ਤਰਾਇ ॥੨॥ The Guru is the Supreme Lord and the Transcendent Master. The Guru floats (saves) the drowning one. p49   ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਏਕੋ ਜਾਣੁ ॥ Know the Guru and God as One. p864   ਗੁਰ ਨਾਲਿ ਤੁਲਿ ਨ ਲਗਈ ਖੋਜਿ ਡਿਠਾ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੰਡੁ ॥ There is no one at par with the Guru. I have searched and seen the whole universe. p49 (If the Guru is the greatest in the whole universe, shouldn't we worship the Guru?)   I'd like to ask Manpreet Singh what is worship? Any reasonable definition would include obeisance, remembrance, and praise. Those are exactly the same things Gurbani says to do regarding Guru! Remembrance and obeisance: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਅਪਨਾ ਸਦ ਸਦਾ ਸਮ੍ਹਾਰੇ ॥ Ever, ever, I think of the True Guru, ਗੁਰ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਕੇਸ ਸੰਗਿ ਝਾਰੇ ॥੧॥ and the Guru's feet I brush with my head's hair. p387   Praise: ਗੁਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਆਪਿ ॥ The Guru himself is the transcendent Lord and the supreme master. ਆਠ ਪਹਰ ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰ ਜਾਪਿ ॥੪॥੧੬॥੬੭॥ Throughout the eight watches of the day, O Nanak meditate thou on the Guru. p387   In fact, Gurbani says the way to find God is to worship (puja) of Guru: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਧੋਇ ਧੋਇ ਪੂਜਹੁ ਇਨ ਬਿਧਿ ਮੇਰਾ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਲਹੁ ਰੇ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ Washing and bathing the True Guru's feet, worship thou them. In this way thou shall obtain my Lord Master. Pause. p1118   Could it be any clearer that we are to worship Guru ji?

      Bro, reciting a shorter Chaupai Sahib is hardly "anti-Dasam". It's fine to argue that the longer Chaupai is more traditional, but the short one isn't anti-Dasam. That's like claiming shorter Rehras is anti-Guru Granth Sahib ji just because there are fewer selections from Guru Granth Sahib. It might not be traditional, but it's not anti-Guru Granth Sahib. I prefer the longer versions, but let's not exaggerate. Every tradition has a slightly different Rehras version. Nanaksar vs Taksal vs Nihangs and so on. The basic template for Rehras is at the beginning of Guru Granth Sahib ji. Later, Chaupai Sahib was added and Anand Sahib always follows as the end of a process. Then some sangats added more saloks to start Rehras and others were added at the end. Some additional selections from Dasam Bani were also added, but it wasn't the same ones for every sangat. The important thing is to not hate on each other for these variations.

      Umm, so you're upset that this jatha did Chaupai the same way it's being done at Harimandar Sahib for 100 years? Shouldn't you be upset at the manager of Darbar Sahib? I'm not saying that Sikhs who are aware of certain issues shouldn't do the longer Chaupai, but there are only so many battles you can fight. Instead of calling some jatha traitors because they're doing the (for better or worse) "standard" Chauapai published by the SGPC, it would be better to change things from the central point. You can't fault the average Sikh for picking up the average Gutka and doing paath.

      It's the same here in Toronto. Alot of the gudwaras here are political orientated and get tons of funding from the government-probably want them stay hush hush with all the BS that has been happening with India.  These guys are skewing gurbani. A complaint was sent to a ragi singh a couple of days ago in regards to a hukamnama.
