I think for a group that’s open to marrying their cousin so that they don’t have to marry outsiders, the idea of marrying a Jew is crazy. 

It's not that they woke up one day and decided to marry Jews, but over the course of centuries owing to migratory movement to the subcontinent, they might have ended up adopting the host culture and religion to better fit in. But that inner draw to mercantile activity just couldn't be shaken, lmao.

Its not casteist. It's a cultural thing. I m from jatt family but I never say anything bad about saini, kamboh,ramgariye or chamaar brothers but I hv had very bad experiences with bhappaas.

In fact I had better experience with Hindus and Muslims in delhi than bhappaas.

Bhappaas are very sweet on face and you never know their inner real intentions.

Bhappaas feel they are the most sophisticated Sikhs compared to rural background Sikhs.

Bhappaas also feel that all gurdwaras belong to them because all Guru Sahibaan were Khatri.

Any more jokes you want to share here that you are not casteist. Your kind are full of themselves and are responsible for the division amongst Sikhs.

Pakistan govt cancels cultural event at Kartapur Corridor

Yudhvir Rana / TNN / Mar 17, 2022, 23:55 IST
AMRITSAR: Succumbing to the pressure of Sikh bodies, Pakistan government has cancelled its five-day-long Jashn-e-Bharan (Spring festival), scheduled to be held at Kartapur Corridor in Narowal district from March 23 to 27.

Talking to TOI on Thursday, Muhammad Latif, chief executive officer (CEO) of the Project Management Unit (PMU), which manages Gurdwara Darbar Sahib and Kartapur Corridor, said their very purpose is to ensure that “maryada (Sikh code of religious conduct)” is not violated here. “Since the Sikh bodies have objected on the festival, we have decided to do away with it and now we will have only one-day celebration on March 23, which will begin with the recital of gurbani.”

Prominent among those who raised the objection is Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhk Committee (SGPC). SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami on Thursday said promoting Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib from a commercial point of view is not appropriate. “Only gurmat samagams (religious congregation) should be held there and in its close proximity. If this (Jashan-e-Baharan) programme takes place, it will not only seriously hit the concerns of maryada of the gurdwara but also hurt the sentiments of Sikh Sangat.”
Stating that the gurdwaras were the centres of flourishing the Sikh faith, from where the message of the Gurus was given to all mankind, he said it is very important to maintain the entire environment around the gurdwara as per the Sikh maryada but the scheduled event of the Pakistan government is not as per the gurmat.
 

The SGPC president has also asked the Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (PSGPC) president Ameer Singh to take up the issue with the Pakistan government.
BJP leader Sarhand Singh has also raised objections on the entertainment event scheduled by the Pakistan government.


With an aim to attract the people to Kartpaur Sahib, the PMU had planned five days of musical event with folk songs of Arif Lohar and other singers, along with other attractions like dhol and horse dance show etc. near Gurdwara Darbar Sahib where Sikh’s first master, Guru Nanak Dev, had spent his last 18 years of life.
The Kartarpur Corridor was constructed by India and Pakistan to enable Indian pilgrims to cross over the international border and return on the same day after paying obeisance at Gurdwara Darbar Sahib.

Of late, the Pakistan government had started developing the Kartapur Corridor as a tourist attraction and had been holding various non-religious events, which invited the ire of the Sikh community.

Sorry I can't help myself. 

"No no no, you keep serving Langar, and we'll see to selling your sist...commerce. We're thinking like a uk theme park...."

Bad jokes aside, some commerce in the area probably isn't dumb if done right?

Why do these Pak Youtube channels covering Sikh pilgrims make their titles so weird? They have to emphasise theres a "girl" even though men are with them too. They should write pilgrim to be respectful?

Sleaze. They have some ambition to kidnap/convert etc maybe? Sikh women are regarded higher in that sense than Hindu women I think .

As a female, what is your view ?

    • I was searching igurbani.com which gives correct pronunciation of Gurbani. I can’t remember all of it at once. I guess it relies on more practice, like more Sehaj Paths. The meaning becomes clearer. I have noticed slight variants in it. This could be because it’s written in old Punjabi.  
    • Veer Manpreet Singh, a lay preacher, claims that -Sikhs aren't supposed to worship Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We are only supposed to worship God as is written in Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We only "revere" Guru Granth Sahib ji.     He says a lot of other things in this video, some are good refutations of Hindu superstitions, but the reformers often go too far. Anyways, what he is saying about not worshipping Guru Granth Sahib ji is totally wrong. The reason is Guru Granth Sahib ji is Guru. Guru is Satguru. Satguru is God. We worship God. Therefore, we also worship Satguru (Guru Granth Sahib ji).   There are innumerable verses in Gurbani equating God and Guru. ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਡੁਬਦਾ ਲਏ ਤਰਾਇ ॥੨॥ The Guru is the Supreme Lord and the Transcendent Master. The Guru floats (saves) the drowning one. p49   ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਏਕੋ ਜਾਣੁ ॥ Know the Guru and God as One. p864   ਗੁਰ ਨਾਲਿ ਤੁਲਿ ਨ ਲਗਈ ਖੋਜਿ ਡਿਠਾ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੰਡੁ ॥ There is no one at par with the Guru. I have searched and seen the whole universe. p49 (If the Guru is the greatest in the whole universe, shouldn't we worship the Guru?)   I'd like to ask Manpreet Singh what is worship? Any reasonable definition would include obeisance, remembrance, and praise. Those are exactly the same things Gurbani says to do regarding Guru! Remembrance and obeisance: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਅਪਨਾ ਸਦ ਸਦਾ ਸਮ੍ਹਾਰੇ ॥ Ever, ever, I think of the True Guru, ਗੁਰ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਕੇਸ ਸੰਗਿ ਝਾਰੇ ॥੧॥ and the Guru's feet I brush with my head's hair. p387   Praise: ਗੁਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਆਪਿ ॥ The Guru himself is the transcendent Lord and the supreme master. ਆਠ ਪਹਰ ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰ ਜਾਪਿ ॥੪॥੧੬॥੬੭॥ Throughout the eight watches of the day, O Nanak meditate thou on the Guru. p387   In fact, Gurbani says the way to find God is to worship (puja) of Guru: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਧੋਇ ਧੋਇ ਪੂਜਹੁ ਇਨ ਬਿਧਿ ਮੇਰਾ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਲਹੁ ਰੇ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ Washing and bathing the True Guru's feet, worship thou them. In this way thou shall obtain my Lord Master. Pause. p1118   Could it be any clearer that we are to worship Guru ji?
    • Bro, reciting a shorter Chaupai Sahib is hardly "anti-Dasam". It's fine to argue that the longer Chaupai is more traditional, but the short one isn't anti-Dasam. That's like claiming shorter Rehras is anti-Guru Granth Sahib ji just because there are fewer selections from Guru Granth Sahib. It might not be traditional, but it's not anti-Guru Granth Sahib. I prefer the longer versions, but let's not exaggerate. Every tradition has a slightly different Rehras version. Nanaksar vs Taksal vs Nihangs and so on. The basic template for Rehras is at the beginning of Guru Granth Sahib ji. Later, Chaupai Sahib was added and Anand Sahib always follows as the end of a process. Then some sangats added more saloks to start Rehras and others were added at the end. Some additional selections from Dasam Bani were also added, but it wasn't the same ones for every sangat. The important thing is to not hate on each other for these variations.
    • Umm, so you're upset that this jatha did Chaupai the same way it's being done at Harimandar Sahib for 100 years? Shouldn't you be upset at the manager of Darbar Sahib? I'm not saying that Sikhs who are aware of certain issues shouldn't do the longer Chaupai, but there are only so many battles you can fight. Instead of calling some jatha traitors because they're doing the (for better or worse) "standard" Chauapai published by the SGPC, it would be better to change things from the central point. You can't fault the average Sikh for picking up the average Gutka and doing paath.
    • It's the same here in Toronto. Alot of the gudwaras here are political orientated and get tons of funding from the government-probably want them stay hush hush with all the BS that has been happening with India.  These guys are skewing gurbani. A complaint was sent to a ragi singh a couple of days ago in regards to a hukamnama.
