Which countries can Sikhi look to expand in?

I have come across a few newly embraced Sikhs from Russia. It got me thinking. 

Eastern Europe could be the next frontier for Sikhs. Places like Poland, Russia, holland, germany ect. 

Eastern Europeans/Scandanavia are generally alot more open to Faith and spirituality and have a fascination with Indian faith and culture. Alot more then typical british goreh that are very far from faith and more into boozing and and clubbing. 

Basics of Sikhi could possible do some events in those countries to raise awareness about Sikhism. 

Ive met a few Europeans also in the uk and they really into learning about Indian faiths ect. Yet Sikhs would rather not fund these projects as they believe that all faiths lead to God. So why talk about our faith.

That goes without saying. 

But with limited resources such as money and parchaarics at our disposal. We have to concentrate on key places where we can be most effective. 

We have to be precise and figure out which countries will be most effective and productive for our limited resources.

Places like Europe and south america should be our aim and priority for now untill we can afford to and have the resources to go fully global and expand

I think we need to dependufy Sikhi as well now (urgently). We've had a long period where we've tried to target parchaar towards the most uneducated pendu Panjabis, and this has taken a toll. We need to get back inline with the high intellect approach as exemplified in DG, to do parchaar to people who aren't uneducated and semi-illiterate now. 

That's how we'll spread further.

A Japanese cult was active in Russia and they were on some Terrorist stuff  "Aum Shinrikyo"

Pretty interesting stuff, but yes we should spread Sikhi in countries like Russia, I believe Tokyo has a Gurduwara in it too, and we all know how strict Japan is as a country.

If really all you want to do is form a sikh-nationalist society, you can always take up arms somewhere in Africa (Rhodesia) and create a Sikh colony considering how the UN wouldn't do nothing (just look at Sudan)

how about Japan as they are a dwindling population but had a military past and could easily relate to Guru ji's philiosophy as their samurais' writings are echoes of the saint sipahi motif , they need their youth to reengage in life in a healthy family way, for their race to survive .

Immigration is tough, if you do immigrate then you're working for labor reasons, or being a English teacher.

You probably have to give up your citizenship in other countries, and yes Japan has a problem with their youth,  most of them commit suicide, depressed,worried about family honor and their future, and some of them are completely isolated. 

Ideally Sikhi could help these youth fall back in with society and live a better life, there's already a gurduwara in Japan so we just need knowledgeable singhs who can speak Japanese to actually perform the act.

Research about the suicide forest in Japan, and  the messages there.

(I forgot most of them, but usually  people who plan on killing themselves leave messages, like I think it was blue tape for thinking about suicide, or something.)

I actually plan on going to Tokyo one day myself.

    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj.
