I Think only the religion is dying... Sikhi Values are not...

what nonsense ! 

if there's no follower of a religion left, how can that religion be called alive ?

90% percent of people in India said that religion plays an important role in their life, 10 % said no it doesn't, that's 100 million people that said religion has no importance in their life in India, and the numbers will grow. 9 % Pakistanis said religion has no importance in their life,  these figures will grow ... 

And even the ones that said it does have importance in their life, how many of them pray, follow all the traditions and rituals, don't drink, don't sleep around, don't smoke, do charity ? Etc   very few probably ...

That's why living a life for Waheguru in Kaljug means you are blessed and is much easier that getting mukti than any other jug.

We are complex creatures with simple logic. We need to see benefit in anything we put our energy towards. That small point is not stressed enough when we "preach".  Show our fellow sikhs the benefits of sikhi values through your own life. If they see strength, happiness, prosperity, advancement from following....why would they not follow more?  If all they see is the same problems, anxieties, health issues, depression, weakness, corruption, greed, etc as afflicting the common man, who wants to follow?

 

Our forefathers saw the divinty of Guru sahibaan during their physical sareer presence. They saw the changes Guruji brought in the lives of their sikhs. They got inspired and dedicated themselves and their families. 

 

Just some food for thought.

not so much happiness but more contentment and a little prosperity imo as too much induces ego etc. otherwise agreed.

in my eyes, the biggest thing missing from so many sikhs today is true fear and love of akaal purakh....

one thing saying it but another proving so with all thoughts, speech and actions - how many of us really feel these about the creator in the same way as guru sahibaan and sikhs during their times?

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
