not really stop me from going to programs but it will affect me in terms of keeping family and clients healthy . I think it could be a positive thing for our gurdwarey as youth are not doing sewa as much and this will make a vaccum into which they could step and lead sewa and sambal efforts in gurughars up and down the country

yesterday and the day b4   when I was in a train and got up to exit the train at the station   once the green light went on to open the door   the gora standing there didnt press the button to open the door even though he was closer   he waited for me to press the button.   Yesterday same thing happened with me and a gori    she waited for me to press it    A bit selfish

Looks like my concerns/predictions few weeks ago are sadly coming true.

It seems highly suspiciously like a cia/mossad operation to hit chinese economy hard and prevent it from over taking the USA/west and hit iran hard too.

From footage of corona virus victim cases of wuhan china i've seen on youtube. It does look like a very deadly serious illness. That literally makes people drop dead by preventing them breathing properly after flooding the lungs with fluid.

All I can say is just be careful with public transport and in the public stay away from anyone with signs of a cold. Wash hands properly after touching public surfaces as the virus is mostly caught via the hands.

If sikhs havent been taking this seriously they need to do so right now in the west and in india.

If you have relatives tell them to stay away from crowds, dont hang around in gurdwara if its still open and especially with with crowds. The gurdwara commitee's that are open are irresponsible and are risking the deaths and short term and long term health of the sangat they only care about money.

Wash your hands regularly, keep elderly/vulnerable at home isolated, use face coverings and wear gloves to prepare food until the situation has got better.

Gurdwara's need to start getting prepared for large number of deaths if situation gets out of hand.

There's a few cases of this happening in punjab now. This virus has potential to spread very fast and overwhelm the very sparse and poor hospital facilities in that state and country. people sending jokey videos from whatsapp there last week they wont be doing that if this virus has establishes itself, god forbid.

    • 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.
