WE NEED JATHEDARS LIKE AKALI BABA PHOOLA SINGH JI who even had that much bravery to whip Raja Ranjit Singh’s back for marrying a Muslim. Not like Gurbachan Singh who forgave Ram Rajeem 

Exactly and not caste based leaders as suggested by few. The problem is there is no one at present who can be our leader. This lack of able leadership is proving very dangerous for our Panth.

In my view , all of those who want to make a difference in sikhi should stand up and "lead" , lead in the sense. That means all of us , lead in the sense take small steps to reach the bigger goal :-

1. Start from the Gurudawaras , make one Rehat Maryada so that all Gurudawara should follow.

2. start learning from the Gurudawara , sangat is very powerful lets learn from them , setup courses,talks,sports events , martial arts etc and let the seva daar run them. Educate the young and old . Role this out to all the Gurudawaras. I believe we all have some quality , lets put it to use. Some will be good and education, some sports , some organizing etc...

3. Organisations like Basics of Sikhi , Sikh Federation , Sikh Youth who are doing great service and parchaar. Already have foundation set , we just need to get on board and learn from them so we can then teach others as well.

4. If we ask 90% of the time a person wont respond , sometimes we just need to be a bit more forceful.

From this , I believe a natural leader will evolve .

That's been tried and didn't work. It just added another 'modren' rehat to the existing ones. I think no, one, modern rehat is going to supercede all the older rehat traditions.

It's the people who have been alienated from, or separated from the Gurdwaras that we need to target. Sometimes it's because of a decision made by parents or grandparents, so it's not always the youngsters fault.

Why cant we all be leaders?? Ie instead of searching and waiting. If Each Sikh did something for the panth wouldnt that make a huge difference. One of the main things we can do is supporting organisations like basics of Sikhi. So they have funding to do more parchaar all over the world. I like their idea of building a visitor centre in Amritsar.

    • 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.
