I have uploaded some pictures of the Gurdwara and the views along the way. The videos are taking a lot of time to upload, hence I could not attach them. I might retry uploading them separately. ?

Wjkk Wjkf!

last time I went to India, the weather was too bad

I hope the next time it's better and you get to visit. 

I did not know this but a Singh apparently does sewa of hoisting the Nishan Sahib atop each of the surrounding 7 mountains every year. We could barely spot them...they looked like singular thorns...they were very high. Do carry a pair of binoculars if you wanna see them clearly.

This is a man made pictures are lovely. Guru Garanth Sahib jee sits on this mountain. I can go in the Pacific mountains, Andes, Swiss, or even the Rockies  and find so many lakes with peaks. We are  a modern (refers to time not tradition) and scientific, we don't believe in this ritual that is more towards the Hindus. Science says Earth was once one a Island. Gurbani says the earth is alive and Earth moves just like  Earthquakes. Earth breaths Volcanic. I want someone to condemn we are not scientific or give me more know about Science which we are. Guru Jee never taught us Earth is Flat Guru Jee shows that the Earth revolves around the sun. Lets talk sense and science. I am an adventurer in the back country. I love the back country it gives so peace and power to relate to science and Gurbani. It is too bad in Sikhism we have 99.9% Snowflakes and barely .01% who everything about Sikhism. Sikh's are free to hoist their flag on the moon if they wish but it doesn't have any meanings.

    • 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.
    • Good way of putting it, bro. One of the ongoing themes of Gurbani is the fake saint. Whether it's fake babas in Punjab or English-speaking personalities in the West, it's an continuing problem of religion through the centuries (and it's not exclusive to us by any means, this applies to all human societies).
    • First of all, while it's true that Gurbani says slandering a Saint has such-and-such effects, you can't do the reverse: You can't look and your situation and know for certain what caused it. We're not encouraged to mope over our situations but rather to accept the hukam (will). The last line of the very first pauri of Japji Sahib says to live in hukam: ਹੁਕਮਿ ਰਜਾਈ ਚਲਣਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਨਾਲਿ ॥੧॥ hukam rajāī chalanā nānak likhiā nāl .1. O Nanak! By obeying, the pre-ordained order of the Lord's will. Secondly, the astpadhi from which you quoted the Sant ka dokhi verses has this verse at the end: ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕਰੈ ਤਿਸੁ ਆਪਨ ਨਾਮੁ ਦੇਇ ॥ jis nō kripā karai tis āpan nām dēi . God gives His Name to those unto whom He shows His mercy. So ask for his mercy. Also check out the 7th Astpadi, which talks about the good effects of the sangat of a Sadhu: https://khojgurbani.com/shabad/271/709?highlighted_scripture_id=12007&highlighted_scripture_lang=gurmukhi&selected_content=gurbani I'm not getting into who is a "true" Sadhu in this post.
    • In langar it should be common sense for peopel to find a suitable space to sit. Normally in my local Singh Sabha gurdwara, there is enough space to sit, so I am able to find a space with enough space away from other people. There have been a few times, where there has been a lot of sangat and I have been forced onto a table.  In Slough and Southall Singh Sabha, Park Avenue, I will just sit near another group of men unless I am with family, but again there shouldn't be strict gender separation and instead common sense logic.
    • Yeh I could do to be honest. It's not really chardikala to be coming from the diwan hall and then sangat putting on shoes to go langar. I like sitting in the gurdwara with family, and there are spaces for this in bigger gurdwaras such as Slough, Southall, Coventry. In my current local area gurdwaras this is not really possible for weekly sangat, and also not for sangrand and gurpurb. Need to complain about these tendikalaUK practices  to be UK chardikala Singhs!
