Some old people can be really snappy and rude, like some of the old people at my gurdwara. The old ladies in the langar kitchen are the worst. when you walk into the langar hall kitchen they stare at you as if you just crossed a marked/sprayed territory that you shouldn't have crossed. 

I understand that their own houses have probably been taken over by their daughter in laws and that they dont have the mukhtiaree that they once probably had but that dont mean they behave as if they own the langar hall. 

Some of these little old ladies are spiteful and vicious 

That is actually quite true. These women live off hate. It's like some kind of energy for them.

Why behave like this in a Gurdwara of all places. Where respect and love should be given. 

It's not only the old women folk though. I've seen some old men act like that to. These people should not be allowed in the Gurdwara if they are going to behave so hostile and rudely. It can actually put off the youngsters from going if they comes across such miserable and rude people.

I once asked for chaa and the old lady slammed the cup on the table  it even spilt out   that's was her sewa    never asked for anything again!  

Her husband is a pervert and just comes to look at the ladies    hes well known for just staring at the ladies.

We have a khalsa primary school just down the road from the gurdwara and lot of the mums after school take their kids to the gurdwara  have langar etc  but the old ladies in the kitchen get really annoyed when the kids mums go into the kitchen to do sewa. 

How do expect young people and families to come and take part at the gurdwara when these old ladies behave like animals defending their territories. 

I know a lot of them are dumped there by their kids before they go to work and then they collect them again when they finish work.

I guess it is because they need to feel useful 

Their fear is that the young mum's may usurp them in the langar hall and they will have no use anywhere. 

Some of the "progressive " older generation will have other interests and hobbies so they would be less territorial in the gurdwara.

The Punjabi men go back for about six months and then come back to UK for six months.

That way they miss out on a lot of the nagging. 

That is why i think this topic regarding getting older Punjabi people to talk to younger Punjabis is futile. 

They already have their own families and their social networks. 

We are beginning to think like goreh as the goreh buddeh are really lonely and would welcome company from younger people.

    • 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.
