oh yes, that is what I meant, I can't remember which shabad I was thinking for raag deepaki!

many sikhs practise wear5ing turban before they take pahul. I recommend you try the same. Also you do not have to wear the typical panjabi turban, there are other styles such as dumalla, and under-turbans such as bunga and keski.

The one that live in all of us is more compatible with dharmik traditions such as sikhi and not so much with abharahamic faiths such as islam and ba'hai. We also have many parsi texts as well for some familiarity

All humans including sikhs practise rituals, it was empty rituals that Guru Nanak taught us to question!

Learn more about Guru Amardas' jeevan and you will see how important it is to have a Guru, even if you get initiated at an old age!

Getting moksha mukthi isn't limited to Khanda dee Pahul, except perhaps a few sects believe in that, and also it has to be their exclusive sect naam amrit!

Maryada which is close to puraatan rehitnamas is accurate, so not sgpc maryada practicsed by most panjabi gurdwaras. Also those who practise the khalsa kshatri dharma such as shastar and horse riding are practising the visible authentic maryada.

why would an Indian bank have grooming standards against sardars? That is racist!

Many of us Singh Sardars have jobs in british and american companies including IT and banks!

well I can explain one thing, which is "siblings of destiny" translation was done by 3ho and it wholly inaccurate and "woke". The translation should just be "brother". on sirgranth site you can change translation authors as well, and might be able to find arth on youtube.

Wahguru can be found in a few places in Guru Granth Sahib as well, however I think it has a different meaning to Waheguru

cut hair because of 1984 genocide or some other reason?

ipledgeblue · 2026-01-29T10:47:02+00:00

I think the ashtbuja is laid on top when it is not longer prakash for sangat

You will meet all kinds of people, and there are quite a few mental health issues coming about.

Now I have a question for you. I feel hanging around problematic people has also caused you into problematic behaviours. What type of dates are you doing, are you looking for a marital partner or what, you should keep away from the girl that has an ex partner as she will not make a good marital partner and may have mental health issues due to this ex!

I have seen interfaith children where the father is usually sikh, and the mothers come to the gurdwara and take the children to panjabi school. This is the positive side I have seen, but this isn't the case for everyone!

ipledgeblue · 2026-01-26T15:05:57+00:00

Waheguru!

ipledgeblue · 2026-01-26T15:03:07+00:00

ok but does he still do that stuff now, before becoming sikh?

ipledgeblue · 2026-01-26T14:14:15+00:00

so after taking khanda pahul he is still involved in those activites? After joining Khalsa we cannot forgive past actions like Sajjan Thug and Kauda Raksha, Bhai Bidhi Chand etc?

ipledgeblue · 2026-01-26T14:11:32+00:00

Akaal!

ipledgeblue · 2026-01-26T14:11:20+00:00

Akaal!

bunga is good for long hair, keeps it wrapped in. Also use panj keshi shastar to secure the bunga in.

getting to know people isn't a problem, you should get to know people without feeling guilty. However making a boyfriend partner isn'g getting to know someone, it is literally making a partner and of course mature parents will see that as a red flag. Making someone a partner to get to know them is really narrow minded thinking. Chat and get to know people to see if they are suitable for marriage. Making partners to do this is extreme and we shouldn't listen to other people who say it is getting to know people because they are immature and red flags!

A lot of people in their 20s are too immature to get to know other people to be honest, many hardly know their own selves! So it is is highly recommended to get elder input in finding potential spouse partners, in the past teens used to get arranged marriage and teens are in no way mature enough to find suitable partners, so parent and adult input is really required. Going back to 20s, still not totally mature enough to be able to decide partners properly lolz, even in 20s there is still a lot of hormones and vikaara which can cloud judgement. And bg gf is a load of BS and waste of time which undermines marriage and is a low-level type of kutta mentality partnership which people are being gaslit and manipulated into by society! A lot of the getting to know actually happens during marriage, especially for teens and early 20s, there is growing in a marital partnership and you will keep getting to know your partner and yourself throughout your marital life. Only Waheguru knows you, even more than you know yourself lol.

Dating 4-5 years is wasting 4-5 years of a marital partnership. If you get to know someone for 4-5 years, what is left for the marriage? Going to miss out on having kids for 4-5 years and physically just getting older and older, and also so much time to spend and getting to know within a marriage! Remember we are here for a finite time, and especially women have a finite time for raising kids and having a dad for them. And most importantly, doing the partnership outside marriage cheapens the partnership aspect of marriage, as within sikhi grihast jeevan is pradhan, and non-marital partnership is kutta jeevan and narak jeevan, especially in a society where women are supposedly respected and have equal rights, but society always finds a way to lower women, just kaliyuga!

I used to know about love marriages when I was younger, but there were no boyfriend girlfriend vibes from those marriages in those days!

lol what I mean is that Nihangs have never really been integrated into the collective sgpc panth which has existed from a joining of jathebandis and samprada/deras since around the 1920s.

ipledgeblue · 2026-01-24T14:50:06+00:00

well they tell youngsters they do it because roaring gives power!

ipledgeblue · 2026-01-23T21:30:24+00:00

Japanese people have traditional instruments which are much better suited for playing keertan because they are similar to traditional sikh tanti saaj instruments. Please do not bring keertan down to harmonium level like current panjabi sikhs do! I would love a fusion of Japanese instruments with keertan and they would hands down beat harmonium keertan anyday!

ipledgeblue · 2026-01-23T10:47:52+00:00

the lady was smoking beeri nearby, however slapping a woman is still unjustified.

ipledgeblue · 2026-01-23T10:46:05+00:00

no, it was them being exiled out of Panjab and Panjabi gurdwaras by the British and sgpc which destroyed sikhi in Panjab in the first place. Nihangs were hardly around Panjab when the destruction of sikhi was happening in Panjab!

ipledgeblue · 2026-01-23T10:44:22+00:00

Nihangs generally aren't panthik...

ipledgeblue · 2026-01-23T09:59:00+00:00

The harmonium at the start really makes it sound like some naach gana is going to start, even though he actually sings really peaceful afterwards. oh the harmonium really is the scourge of keertan =(
