Just keeping kakars such as karda as sign of a sikh is so dangerous as every other hindu wears one and now the musley do too to misled the girls until it is too late . If they knew their prayers or history they could catch out fakers

You can tell muslay from the way they try and speak Panjabi too. It's usually way off from how Sikhs speak it. Yes, some can speak Panjabi a little bit like us, but how they are taught to give proper Arabic pronunciation to certain words from that quarter gives them away. 

I honestly can't help but think that an apna that can't tell a sullah from a Sikh is probably 'special needs' if you know what I mean.

but think about how coconut our youth have become they don't speak punjabi or read gurmukhi at all they don't have minimal sikhi knowledge so they cannot communicate to their babey , bebey at all . So Yes special needs indeed theycan swear and sing along to bhangra songs but they haven't got a clue how filthy they are.

Yes that's a new generation thing. It's funny because I've heard the Canadian apnay have retained their language to a high extent. Bengalis all seem to know their language pretty well.

bengalis are discriminated against by other muslims so stay in their ethnic group , they are like us back in the seventies soon they too will experience the coconut effect on their kids . Canada is more likely to have a high proportion of fresh intake from punjab so that keeps the need high.

I've spoken to a few Bengalis. They are conscious of the coconut effect and resist it. They actually look at people from India as an example of where they don't want to get.

Majority of Sikh community lacks the basic knowledge/understanding of sikh dharam.

how?

apart from specifics of who did what?

I am interested in what you would teach them.

 Because people only do things if theyre motivated to, maybe the history or the way it is shown is just not inspiring enough.

If a boat was tipped, then people would be forced to swim, but until then ...

ignorance of our youth especially our girls , if they knew their roots, sikh ethics  and our history they would never be groomed out of the faith by hindus, muslims etc . They would be able to take up the mantle of sewa and propagation of Guru Nanak dev ji's true message not an airbrushed , wishywashy all religions are equal

the thing is, if it was so clear, and important, people would gravitate towards it ........?

islam's youth are ignorant , they may memorise reading arabic of the Quran but they are not aware mostly what it says , don't be fooled about the headlines , most of their youth especially the females are not educated adequately .  The guys are encouraged to hate others in madrasas and faith schools in islamic classes (BBC Secret Footage) the bibian are indoctrinated by female teachers similarly.
 

Just keeping kakars such as karda as sign of a sikh is so dangerous as every other hindu wears one and now the musley do too to misled the girls until it is too late . If they knew their prayers or history they could catch out fakers

I would say @dallysingh101 @namespace

Islam have a bigger population, hence these activities, are social anyway.

    • 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, 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.
