Sant Ji's views on "monay"

Fast forward to present times.  We have the same backdrop and we have the same hunger to take on the State but we do not have a Leader on the level of Sant Ji.  We have some personalities that are coming forward and no doubt many have been planted and many will doubted.  If we shoot down all the potential Leaders such as Deep Sidhu and Lakha Sidhana, then we are in danger of deterring any future Leadership that could prove to be the only voice that looks after Sikh interests.

I hope there's a plan this time that doesn't involve Pakistan.

I think people are talking about 2 different things, mona and farmers protest. OP posted about monay, not farmers protest.

As someone who was mona myself a few years back, and still am surrounded by mainly monas, do you guys know what most monay really think and say about the appearance of Singhs? In their own circles? 

I myself in my mona days have said some very insulting things about Singhs appearances, like most monas do, and I'm very ashamed of it, I hope guru ji has forgiven me. 

And don't forget that in schools it's not just pakis and Whites that laugh at boys with guttis! mona kids can be just as bad, where do they learn it from? 

Don't let a few moneh involved in the farmers protest delude you! 

Mona people have done a lot of damage to Sikhi. 

This for example, which was posted on this site, is quite a common joke in mona circles. They joke about food being stuck, I've heard it myself. 

Do you reckon there's a difference between NRI moneh and Punjab resident moneh in terms of attitudes to Singhs? I would think the Punjab resident moneh are more in touch with the underlying Punjabi culture and tend to see commonalities between themselves and Singhs, whereas NRI moneh tend to want to create distance between themselves and NRI Singhs especially if the former have a non-Sikh social circle. But then there's pendu NRI moneh who take the pi55 out of Singhs, which I guess comes from attitudes they've picked up from their male elders.

The destination is the most important and to be honest if they want to assist then so be it.  To be honest I don’t think there in any position to do anything as they are broke and fighting for their own survival.  No difference in human rights violations and corruption than all other South Asian so called democracies.  If anything the region needs a new ‘Nation’ that could be a shining beacon to shame other countries to lift their game.  We could easily fill that void and maybe that what the plan is!

If I was in charge my first priority would be not to view civilian Sikhs as collateral to be expended in a struggle with the state. I couldn't live with the blood of Sikh families on my hands because I failed to make a sensible plan. The frontline guys, while physically brave, need to understand not everyone in our community has that Khalsa fighting spirit and desire to see things through. In an ideal world we all should be latent warriors ready to heed the call and kick a55 when required, but reality suggests that's not the case. One of the reasons some apne turned against the lehar of the 80s was when they directly lost loved ones at the hands of the Indian mobs and police goons. Rather than blame the state for their illegal actions, apne turned against Singhs and blamed them for kicking things off. There's still many Sikhs around today who were turned off from the religious aspect of Sikhi due to losing family members in the purges, or at least that's how they justify it. We can't afford to lose support of our own in this way. It weakens us.

Western born moneh take the p155 more than the ones in India. In India there still is a little respect for the appearance of a Singh. I guess it's because in India there still is some sort of reverence for something linked to religion, despite them bot being very religious these days. 

Its important to understand that Sikhi for most monas is a culture, while for most Singhs it's a faith, a gift from Guru ji.

Now culture is ever changing, adapting and criticised, while religion is unchanged and the divine truth.

Because of these two different views, we now have moneh, in full force trying to change and bend Sikhi so it suits their lifestyle and social views. We now have bikini wearing Sikh bibis on social media preaching Sikhi, monas holding beer preaching Sikhi, LGBTQ being pushed into Sikhi,  "Haircuts don't make you a less of a Sikh" view being pushed. 

Because culture can be changed and criticised, we now have mona Sikhs question the relevance of following something that was written in a "book" 500 years ago. 

It's all happening before our eyes. 

We have passed the time where a Singh could criticise these people and correct them. These people are as much Sikhs as a Singh is, so who are you to question their views ? 

You see, these people don't just exist on social media. People born into the comfort of Amritdhari families are oblivious to how all this bakwaas is being pushed into Sikhi. 

One only needs to see that what was socially unacceptable 10 years ago, is completely socially acceptable today. Who made it socially acceptable? Singhs or monas? 

Who made Sikhi bibis, including Sikh brides getting drunk with their brothers at Sikh wedding reception parties acceptable? Singhs on monas ? 

When you're born into the comfort of a Amritdhari family, and surrounded by mostly Singhs, you can't see the damage, but when you're born into a mona family you see the damage taking place, and the extent of the damage right before your eyes. 

We only need to see what these people are pushing for on social media, ideas they are sharing, to see what will become acceptable in our community in the future.

One mistake Singhs did make was let monas call themselves Sikhs. This has allowed them to push their views into Sikhi. 

Being a mona is now a acceptable norm in our community, in fact boys who have guttis are asked if they are gnna continue keeping guttis. 

On top of all of this, these same people take the p1ss out real Sikhs, joke about their appearances, 5 kakkars, maryada. 

I'm not tarnishing all moneh with the same brush, I'm tarnishing majority of them. 

Fair play. The moneh I know are stricter and more reserved in their conduct than some of the Amritdharis I know of who lounge around in swimwear in Dubai and the Mediterranean, completely enslaved by maya and materialism.

When I was a kid this confused me because I assumed moneh had very little idea of restraint and respect because they eschewed the Sikh principles of rehat, but when I started to get older and began to see things with more detail I realised it wasn't as simple as that.

The moneh were always kind and supportive when I hit a rough patch while the religious Sikhs pretended as if I no longer existed. That kind of stuff is hard to forget especially when you think the total opposite.

I guess it's a case of environment.

    • 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.
