Kartarpur Sahib videos

The Pakistani government seem to be pulling off some master strokes.

They understand very well the power of Sikh tourism. 

First with Nankana Sahib and now with Kartarpur. 

The question is other than the puppi-jhappi what are the benefits for Pakistan?

What are the long term goals from Pakistan, is it a big 2 fingers up towards India?

It seems clear to me that Pakistan are clearly using Sikhs to help develop the infrastructure in their country. It seems that the Sikh diaspora already is providing more impetus to their economy than the Pakistani diaspora. 

What is very interesting to me was the tens of thousands of people at Nankana Sahib and as I looked closer at the crowds they cannot all be Sikh, I suspect the vast majority were local muslims. 

And the first thought that cropped into my head was "Ripe for Sikhi!"

iv seen videos as well and the a big number of the sangat seem to be local muslims. They call Guru Nanak Dev ji   Baba Guru Nanak. A lot of the local muslims do a lot of sewa in these gurdware.

When i went Hazur Sahib i saw a lot of local muslim women at Hazur sahib, they were burkha but when they enter the gurdwara they lift the face covering. we were really surprised so we asked the local driver that we hired and he said a lot of local muslims come to Hazur sahib. 

I think its 2 fingers up to india and also local business are making lots of money. Im sure there is some other reason too which will probably become more clear in the future

A day after the corridor opened a muslim guy at work hugged me and shook my hand lol     he said he dont like hindus because they kill muslims and that they believe in lots of gods and that sikhs and muslims believe in one god.     He then started talking about mughals and said that mughals did a lot of wrong with sikhs but that god is looking  etc  was very genuine  had his hand on his heart the whole time.

Didn't Guru Gobind Singh Ji teach us to not trust a Muslim's oath?

Sikhs and Muslims may believe in One God but they are worlds apart.

It's like comparing a pizza pop to a real pizza. Cheap knock-off. Lol

Hindutva is on the rise in India.

The Ayodya site has been awarded to the Hindus and Article 370 has been gotten rid off in Jammu Kashmir with it being split into two.

These are two big steps that have been achieved.

First step is that with Ayodya being settled the Ram temple can be built and it means for the hindu that a perceived injustice meted out to them has been overcome. 

The second step with Jammu Kashmir is that non Kashmiris can settle there now and turn it into a non muslim majority. In reality it was the Kashmir Valley that is problem for India.

Jammu is mainly hindu with a large muslim minority and Ladakh is mainly buddhist with a large Shia minority. 

It will be interesting what would be the next steps.

The Pakistani elite are probably very aware that it is going to be even more difficult for them to send their Jihadis over.

I think at some level they are leveraging our emotional attachment to our historic sites. By creating these corridors is a way to split our loyalties. It seems they are looking for some soft spots to exploit. 

I think that Sikhi in the coming years MAY become the stabilising force on the subcontinent.

Check this tweet:

During this summer The Sikh Community in the UK Pledged to Invest £500 Million Into Pakistan.
Sikh businessmen around the globe will invest millions of pounds to promote religious tourism in Pakistan.

#GNGST #Gurdwara #GuruNanakSewaTrust #NaamJapo #KirtKaro #VandChhako #Sikh https://t.co/Z6ZgL7bghE

If these businessmen spent even 1 per cent on the 1984 widows, how much good can be done.

Money has never been a problem, the allocation has

    • 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.
