Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

My friend asked me a question awhile ago so I thought I should get the sangats point of view since most of you are more knowledgeable than me.

She asked me if Sikh's were allowed to have weddings outdoors? You know how some Christains have backyard weddings in the summer, etc. Well she wanted to know if Sikhism would allow a wedding to take place somewhat similar to that. Ofcourse all precautions would be taken, like finding a respectable place to put the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, and ofcourse the place would have to be a clean environment (No sign on alcohol etc anywhere around the area). For example a Gazebo can be used and the palki can be placed inside the Gazebo ... kind of like this one ... Click to see picture of sample Gazebo ...

Would it be wrong? Because I've never seen a Sikh wedding be performed like this so I didn't know what to tell my friend. Thank you !

Bhul Chuk Maaf ^_^

I dont' see anything wrong with having a wedding outside the actual Gurdwara Sahib complex as long as you follow the precautions that you have posted in your message.

The akal takhat sahib hukamnaama is to not take Guru ji's saroop to pubs but if you find a suitable place then it should be ok.

The thing we need to keep in mind when arranging somethign like this is that do not put so much emphasis on the location or anything else other than Guru Sahib. If you happen to worry too much about the surroundings than that's what people are going to pay most of the attention to and according to my opinion that would be wrong because the center of attraction should only be Guru Granth Sahib ji, not even the bride or the groom.

the main point is reath must be observed. a while bak they some one started taking Guroo ji to race courses, that cant be done.

Maryada needs to be enforced 100% that to me is the only obstical. If u can ensure a clean enviroment, etc and Maryada will be observed then there shudnt be a problem.

That land, where my True Guru comes and sits, becomes green and fertile.

A gurdwara without Guru ji is just a building, but a building with guru ji is a Gurdwara. Having said that as sikhs we shouldnt just take our Guru ji to any old place be it outdoor or indoor.

If u can ensure a clean enviroment, etc and Maryada will be observed then there shudnt be a problem.

Yup, also if the wedding is outside etc and Guru ji's saroop is there then, that place becomes the gurudwara so sangat should behave in the same manner as they do in the gurdwara.

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
