Haldee is crazy good. Multi-purpose good. Just recently we had an ant infestation - ant powder and spray wasn't doing anything so poured haldee on the edges of the outside doors and bish bosh bish...job done. Also, a long time ago, had an old car with a leaking radiator. Took it to the garage which was quoting me something like £500 to fix it. A freshie from Punjab recommended I use a teaspoon of haldee because in India they use it as a sealant to fix leaks. Poured a teaspoon of haldee in my radiator and bish bosh bish....job done. Bobinderjit's yer uncle. No more leak. Haldee is crazy good.

I made some haldhee powder from fresh haldhee I bought. It's messy and time consuming but worth it.

How comes these guys were still using the true Khalsa standard at this time? How did the community come to universally accept the modern version over this? 

Did goray do the standard flag change thing they do in places they've conquered? 

probably earlier on in british raaj?

LMAO  It looks like such a far away world   looks similar to how the rajasthani women dress. 

Even the singhs from that era are dressed really differently 

Singhs from the 1850s

Current indian fashion is influenced by Bollywood     I think sherwanis look disgusting     they look ugly   

When I get married I ain't gnna wear that sh1t    

I think the above people from the puratan pics look so much better.

It's gd that that generation has passed away  they had izzat and sharam 

They would of been lost in these shameless times, imagine them seeing the current state of the sikhs.

    • 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.
