you underestimate the patience and myriad ways they are still subverting Gurbani

Will there (or has there) ever only been one interpretation? It doesn't look like that from what I gather from precolonial Sikh literature. 

I think the greater danger is how the SGPC and various universities in Panjab and abroad are rewriting Sikh history along western influenced racialised/casteist lines. It's the unique Sikh 'social vision' that is under attack the most. This strikes deeply at cohesion which is always difficult given Panjabi nature anyway. 

If we are talking about bhagti marg or spiritual side of Sikhi through naam simran and paat. It's our own personal journey into that that expresses itself to us. If people are excessively relying on other people to hold their hands in this (various gianis and babas they subjugate themselves to) - are they even getting it? And it looks like for most people the 'sangat' is more of a social/community thing than anything else? 

Yes, people have always tried to subvert this thing (and not only 'Hindus' but especially the british), but I think it is the uninformed and gullible pendu masses that keep falling for this. They don't really like thinking for themselves in any case - and don't like reading - so that is inevitable. They bring it upon themselves with their cultural norms. Farmers make me laugh - they cry out about the surreptitious 'bahmunization' of Sikhi, whilst themselves sitting in some pseudo-Sikh, protestant anglicised colonial product  'religion' themselves. The irony.....

Why don't you give examples of this.

For heaven's sake I already mentioned you just check the folio of sukhmani sahib attached in this thread itself

Check the first salok . Compare that with modern one

    • 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.
