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.

    • 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!
