you could ask him if would be OK if you meet the lads before the program to wish them  and tell him you don't feel comfortable taking part in active murti/agni puja  as it is not allowed in sikhi. If he is dharmic he will understand since he is your friend  and has seen how things are in Gurdwara.

If you do this, you will surely lose your friend. I don't see anything too wrong with going, but I wouldn't participate in any of their shenanigans lol. I'd just walk and immediately go take a seat somewhere.

yup true. Sadly most sikhs go overboard. I am honestly sick of sikhs bending backwards or should i say forward to appease the hindus. 

If these trend continues of ganesh pooja and all the hindu rituals being slowly but systematically pushed  in sikh society, the day is not far when sikhs would be dead , a hybrid race of hindu-sikh will be norm (as already dreamt by the rss) , and golden temple will become a "temple" in the hindu sense and you will find there not just SGGS but also hindu idols next to it.

If you think its unthinkable to lose Harmandar sahib, just visit history of 200 yrs back. We've been there. We have seen idols of devi devte inside harmandar sahib. It has happened before ! When udasis were in control.

Unless sikhs mend their ways, this time your humiliation will be more brutal

you are wearing your Guru's roop , and we have been told us not to have faith in others' rituals so walking there is :

1. bringing question on Guru ji's roop

2. causes dubida in sikh faithful

3. shows approval of the ritual in the family

4. makes hindus happy that they are weakening sikhi

supersition all that is

you should go. You don't need to pray or anything, you can just sit at the prayer room (they usually have comfortable seats at the sides)   you don't even need to sit down on the floor. Typically it very casual atmosphere with bhajan etc the old ladies will be singing along while kids will be running around. They may look at you, you just need to smile and give them the thumbs up and they will leave. You have the teen boy who attends a function in a Mandir with the sole aim in pulling a fit girl. Typically you will overhear conversations like ("yo Ramesh dat girl in the Pink saree is  well penk man. wait till we get to the langer hall ") 

ohh you always have the token white guy who is always curious you might approach you and ask you stupid questions. 

 

Ha lol... "penk"

I do wonder what the response would be like if the OP said he was supposed to be attending a funeral as opposed to a birthday at the Mandir. Would there still be backlash?

Not like he's asking whether he can attend regularly lol. Nor is there any obligation to take part in the service on any occasion. For something like this, most if not all of the programme will be Bhajan/Kirtan anyway.

No need to act as if he's been asked to do Narial da Daan. :notalk:

Lol most aam Hindus in the west do not have this mindset. There is a mutual respect for the most part.

 

ਹਮੇਸ਼ਾ ਪੁੱਠੇ ਉੱਤਰ.....Sensationalism everywhere.

 

Gurbar Akaal!

    • 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?
