It would be interesting to know how you met the Colombian girl and how long you have been corresponding.

She is a mature student,  from here , but she goes back to Columbia every end of term, I have known her on and off past two years and past 8 months I have been seeing her so to speak.

Okay, I was concerned it was someone you had met online and had only corresponded with from afar. If you have known her for so long in "real life" then you probably have a solid idea of what you are getting into. I don't know if your situation belongs in the "passport bro" category 🙂.

I presume you have been able to accurately gauge whether her interest in Sikhi is genuine. Was she previously a practicing Catholic? Or was she effectively atheist or agnostic?

How old is she? What is her past in terms of relationships (divorced, never married, etc.)?

But she is surely primarily (if not entirely) interested in you because you live in a more prosperous country.

Steady on mate. I think he lives in deepest, darkest northern monkey territory. That backwards, shytehole would be off putting for even third world people.......phew

If western nations had open borders; it would be overpopulated by Desis; and UK would be India 2.0

Pendu apnay are perfectly capable of creating shytehold ghettos, look at Southall. Look at how some apnay also create drug fuelled crime waves complete with skyrocketing murder rates (in-between themselves) in certain parts of Canada.

Pretty much every mixed race Sikh boy that I've seen raised wearing a guti ends up cutting their hair. 

I don't think that has to go with them being mixed race, seen countless punjabis cutting their hair, especially around my age right now. It's because they were only sikhs because their of their parent(s), just like a lot of the goreh in the west who's parents go church but they don't take their kids. Make sure to raise the kids in a way that they have their own love for waheguru, and they want to go to the gurdwara on their own accord, not because they're being forced to and it's a chore. 

Sikhi is well above race, imo race shouldn't be a barrier. Somethink that we're currently lacking is expanding into non-punjabis because we prioritise keeping our 'punjabi roots' over sikhi. Culture changes over time, sikhi doesn't, it's eternal, above all race and culture.

I personally think every Sikh has to learn Gurmukhi,  and we need to try and get out of do your nitnem and everything is fine mentality.  Guru Granth Sahib Ji has 1430 angs there is so much to learn . For instance you want to know indepth what a real Gurmukh is read Sidth Gosht. Also Guru Nanak Sahib Ji explains Shabad is Guru and singing bani is a must because of sound vibrations the words produce when pronounced.

Obviously every sikh has to learn gurmukhi, the phonetics in gurmukhi cannot be accurately translated to other language, however reading baani in english or hindi or spanish or whatever is better than reading no baani at all for people who cannot read gurmukhi yet

I think everyone should read Guru Granth Sahib ji as many times as possible, with meanings, you learn so much. It's also good to read dasam granth and sarabloh granth. We should read as much as possible imo, we're lacking a lot of knowledge in sikhi. 

Kirtan is essential imo, if anyone has the opportunity to learn raag kirtan, they should, and make sure kids know kirtan as well, it's the one thing that connects you. 

That's all part of religion though, learning gurmukhi, reading baani, learning about sikhi, and learning sikhi is for sikhs, not punjabis, we have to remember that the two are not synonymous.

    • Was listening to Sant Ji's katha on youtube.  Sant ji stated apart from the traditional raags, there is nothing wrong if Kirtan is sung in other NON - Raags set up by our Guru Ji's.  His example: Think of poison in a bowl.  Drinking the poison then blaming the bowl is silly. The poison is bad not the bowl. Likewise, we will never call a bowl Amrit once it contains Amrit init. Sameway it's not the raags being good / bad... it's WHAT we put into those raags. How many times Kirtan was sung but on a track of sum Bollywood tune? It is happening in Gurudwara by Raagis! Youtube also has Kaweshri jatha singing history of 1984, on Dr Dre's - Still Dre track.  Rap instrumental/ Bolly tunes stand neutral. We can either put bad things and sing with our own remixes and lyrics... or we can recreate to sing Shabads of Gurbabi, kirtan and Sikh Prachaar over them. 
    • Everything in Gurbani points us towards the Atma. Atma and Parmatma are the same… Atama and Parmatma is the source that creates and causes everything… What have the following items got in common? A fan. A television. A fridge. A radio. A computer..? These things are powered by electricity. Without electricity these things are lifeless. It’s the electricity that causes these things to function… Atma is the source of energy that allows everything to happen.    without Atma, we are lifeless… Call this Atama RAGUNATH…call this Atma by any other name…the fact remains that it’s the life force energy… Dieties also have the same Atma as humans, but they still part of the creation, and not the creator…  
    • Hi I want to know who’s ragunath in gurbani Hindu claim this word appear for ram chandra if we read guru teg bahadur maharaj salok maharaj clearly rejecting ram gayo ravan geo but at the last pangti Kahu naanak īh bipaṭi mai tek ēyk ragɦunaaṭɦ ॥55॥ Says Nanak, in this calamity, the Lord alone is my support who is this ragunaath why would maharaj use ragunath as refrence for god?
    • Throughout history we have been tested and tried. We remained steadfast and resiliant. The events that took place in Punjab and outside of Punjab in the past years made it quite clear we are big players in the game which kept the world powers on edge. It started off with the drug pandemic in Punjab, to the uproar by Bhai Amritpal Singh to the Farmer's protest. Outside of Punjab the deaths of Avtar Singh Khanda (UK) and Hardeep Singh Nijjar (Canada) created a stir within our community. This was probably our first real opportunity to establish something but how quickly members of our own community forget history. We have been a threat to civilization in the past and this is probably what the world powers are concerned about. However, may we continue grow and learn through Gurbani and like Jaswant Singh Khalra said: 'May the spirit of equal rights Punjab continue to kindle'. 
    • This is why people used to get married earlier in puratan times. Think about it, nowadays you legit have to be brahmacharya at ages when you're supposed to be married and producing children, which historically speaking, is unprecedented outside of the Sants in Indic tradition.
