Don't you like India? Our goal at there is to attach ourselves with Naam,bani,sewa. Yes of course we can do it at home to but I feel the vibration of bhagti in India is much stronger. And there's so many itihaasik Gurdwara. No, you can't get disease like maharaj said 

ਸਰਬ ਰੋਗ ਤੇ ਉਹ ਹਰਿ ਜਨੁ ਰਹਤ ।।

Such a devotee of Lord is free from all diseases.

Your age doesnt limit what you do. Think positive come on ✨

How will you support yourself over there? Food, shelter, etc?

If you've gown up in any western country, then you will be incompatible with India. It's nice to visit like a tourist; pampered by relatives, having Darshan of Dharmic Asthaans, with a safe and secure lifestyle to head back to once you've had your fill. But if you want to prolong your stay, be very very cautious (especially if your are young, female, or non-Indian).

Other than that, life is a great teacher. You can go there and try living out your fantasy.

 

I agree, I used to think I could live there but in my most recent two visits I realised I could not.

but everyone is different and you never know unless you try it

Okay yes, it's not like I'm running there now and leaving my home and going there only myself. Yes it can be dangerous if I don't have any guardian with me but hey I'm not doing that now.  Yes but I would definitely love to stay in India for maybe a month when maharaj bless me. I will finish my studies and work because who's gonna pay for my ticket? I have to pay it myself. Many of you are not really understanding me here.

Do not need to go to India for this. 

plenty of beautiful and cheap opportunities here in western world. 

- Buy dozen acres of rural land, mountain side
- Go off-grid - Solar, Propane/gas, Fireplace 

India is polluted - air, water, land etc.

So much of negativity, yes we know it's polluted but it's not like we gonna die there once we step in there. I bet your country has a bit of pollution too. I am not a western world type of girl.

Let’s say I am a citizen of the world after having lived and worked in many different countries except India, we have lost that innate feeling of belonging somewhere normal fortunate people have. We have both reached a stage where we are looking into very simple back to basics and no fuss life. Do you think it would be better if we bought a small house or flat there in rural settings near a community of local organic farmers? At the moment we are waiting for Covid regulations to relax before we book out airline tickets. Our aim is to buy something small near the above mentioned community and travel everywhere visiting our ithiasic gurdwaras and staying there as long as we can, even if it means we have to sleep on the grounds of these gurdwaras under their luscious green trees or verandas. We honestly can’t wait to try it out.  We are both Amritdharies and it would ever so nice to meet and interact with others on the same path. Who knows, we might even end up making lots of life long friends who only speak of spirituality or spiritual matters and nothing else. Can’t wait.

Singh Ji Singh Ji, we would like to work in those places that you have mentioned on very little pay or even without it, as long as we can travel to all the places in India that are part of our Sikh heritage to educate ourselves of who we are and where we originate from. Thanks for your help. Again, the idea is to live our lives in very rural, simple, back to to basics life with no mod cons to depend on and no unwanted distractions from anywhere.

This person really understands me. I am nothing infornt blessed souls like you.

good like finding those "good people" in punjab.  lol.  you clearly haven't visited there before?

good people?  more like devious, lying, money hungry, unprincipled, unethical, etc etc.  they wont waste any opportunity to try and rip you off.

also you have romantic notions of not having access to hot water, heating, basic hygiene faciilties?

theres rubbish and toxic pollution galore.

    • All 10 sikh gurus are Surya vanshi Jats. Bedi trehan bhalla and sodhi are descended from Surya vsnhi king Dasrath father of Sri ram, laxman, Bharat, and shatrugunah.  Sri ram birth lav and kush from whom bedi and sodhi come, Bharat bhalla, and laxman trehan guru angad dev jis gotra.  That's why the sikh gurus military capital aka Akal Takhat had Surya vanshi flags. Hari Mandir was also constructed after Babar destroyed Ram Mandir as a symbol that Ram Chanders legacy and descendants were still alive in kal yug and that the resistance to invaders was fully active.  The British created the sgpc to suppress this knowledge as they wanted to divide sikhism from its roots so they could divide and rule, as punjab was the last region that had not come under their pay check. False parchariks under the East India Comlany pay roll manufactured the divide between sikh and hindu when in fact they are the same thing. This divide eventually led to Operation Blue Star.    Bhul chuk maf karna.  Their original clan flag
    • Ik i'm a few (13) years late but basically: Get a single Mal-mal dastar (around 3-5 metres) and starch it. You just whisk 2 ladles of starch (Kershaw's, cornstarch or maida) with around 5 cups of water until it's completely smooth and mix it on low heat flame for around 20 mins until it goes clear and think like water. When this cools off, take a clean but damp turban and soak it into the starch and make sure you coat the whole dastar evenly You leave it out to hang dry in the sun/air. Once dry u can store it in a cool, dry place until you wanna tie it (for about 4 months) Take the dastar, sprinkle some water all throughout the turban to make it slightly wet and just soft enough to tie. Then you and another person hold the dastar at each end to make a stretched rectangle (two people holding one corner in each of their hands). Fold it in half width-wise 3 times. Tie the turban like this quite loosely. The starch will make it tighter as it dries BUT TIE IT STAIGHT ONTO YOUR HEAD. NO MINi-TURBAN BENEATH IT. JUST TIE YOUR FLATTENED JOORA ON TOP OF YOUR HEAD AND THE DASTAR DIRECTLY ON TOP Secure it with pins and wear it on your head until it has dried from the water you sprinkled before the pooni. After it has completely dried (give it around 3-4 hours just to make sure) you take it off your head DO NOT UNWRAP IT TAKE IT OFF IN IT'S SHAPE and the next time you need to wear you can just place it on your head over your flattened joora instead of tying this. You can do this for around 5 months after you first tied it until you have to ever tie it again.
    • I tie a Punjabi style dastar with starch. Why do people hate this so much? Once when I was tying my dastar my neck seized up and the apna doctor said staying in that position daily for more than 5 mins is dangerous. He recommended a starched pagg like his dad. And I respect my pagg more than my life. I put it on the top shelf of my cupboard whenever it isn't on my head, recite Waheguruji da naam whenever I am tying my joora, fifty and when i place the Dastar on my head and I mata thek and kiss  it before I do. And when I do tie it (every 4 months when the starch starts to weaken) I make sure that I pooni and tie it with much love and whilst reciting paath. I get that if someone treats their turban like a hat (eg: throwing it on the floor, cramping it or just disrespecting it) then this is unacceptable but just cos one puts their pagg on their head rather than tying it each time doesn't mean they treat it as such. (and let's be honest, starched or not we've all put our dad's pagg on our head like a hat when we were kids as a joke and meant no disrespect. Intention is everything). Ik Singhs who get angry tying their pagg and start doing maa/phen di gaaliyan, and when they take it off they just throw to the side and wait to tie it again next time. (Also, I'm from a Jat Sikh family so pls don't try to make this about "starched paggs are tarkhan/caste based" or anything stupid like that). PS: I do remember that stupidness in the 90s/early 2000s UK when Sikh men used to have a tiny starched paggs and were completely clean shaven or had a little goatee like Herbie Sahara/ Vijay from achanak. Now THAT was stupid and deserves all the hate but I just mean the concept of a starched dastar whether it's Punjabi Style, Kenyan style or whatever
    • Anyone know how to tie this turban? My Nani's dad tied it, it was starched but i can't work out whether the pooni was kenyan orpunjabi (like folded or an actual pooni). This was very common before partition, and uses a single dastar (not double stitched). Is it js Kenyan pagg with a higher larr?
