a sikh boy should marry only a sikh girl . that's the hukam of guru ji .

if the muslim girl takes amrit and becomes sikh , then the sikh boy can marry her .

if she does not converts, stay away from her . ( sikho beware from turks and turkanis )

I don't agree. It isn't Guruji's Hukam because Sikhi is based on equality, if it was Guruji's hukam, where does equality come into it?

The thing is, why would you want to convert? I mean, I think that if someone loves you, they should love you for you and wouldn't wish to change you. Asking or wanting you to convert is just the same as changing you.

This type of thing shouldn't be happening in the first place. Our religion isn't against us marrying a non-sikh, but our culture is.

I respect the things you've said Sukhi_v, but I'm just thinking that in our local Gurudwara, we don't get much sangat anyway and it isn't as though Sky has been broadcasted on Ladies Sangeet nights to that people would be aware of it. I'm just assuming it's being used for the old men that are in the Gurudwara commity. Alls they do is fight over the commity and whose going to be on it, so I don't get it. Anyway, thanks for the views and stuff. I did ask what it was for they said for the commity.

As far as wrestling goes..don't know..

My name..Aman, it's a Panjabi word..you hear it in Paath/Kirtan

Means Peace.

Full name, Amanpreet, Aman = Peace

Preet = Love

Someone who loves peace.

Most names do have a meaning, however if it's a unique name such as my cousins name "Upnesh", it doesn't have a meaning.

I don't think I'm following either..Sky Digital as in Digital cable okay I got that much..so is the concern on WHY they need digital cable in a gurdwara sahib? Why not ask the management? Perhaps there is a reason..if we don't ask we'll just come to our own conclusions..it's rather a small issue veerji, just ask!

I have asked, but if you have a Commity in the Gurudwara, you know what they're like, they never give straight answers, they twist it in one way or another. I'm assuming that it's for the old men that sit in the Gurudwara, well the Commity of the Gurudwara..shows how much they care about the Gurudwara and Paath.... :roll:

it's just decor, Aman_90. chillax, it'll make the place look nice.

Yeah, it'll make more people come to the Gurudwara, but instead of listening to paath/kirtan, all of them will proberly go to watch Zee Tv or Eastenders or Football, but yeah, it's ok! :roll:

Fateh Ji

I can see that you all think it's ok. I did ask for a reason, but they don't give one, they just start telling you where it's installed etc. If it is for The Giani's in the Gurudwara, why would you need one in the kitchen? If you want to watch TV stay at home, a Gurudwara is a sacred place for praying, Kirtan, Langar or Seva, it isn't for watching Zee Tv or football. I think it's wrong but I'll respect your views.

Fateh Ji

I live in Nottingham, and apparently my local Gurudwara has installed Sky Digital in hall 2. The Gurudwara is Singh Sabhan on nottingham Road.

What would you say, wrong or right?

Personally, i think this is pathetic, My dad said that it's ok because it's in Hall 2 but hall 2 also has SGGSJ and they've installed one in the kitchen in hall 2, but thats where the seva happens. Yeah hall 2 isn't the main hall but it doesn't mean sky being installed into it is right? Does it?

Fateh

Yes. It is absolutely okay. In my opinion God doesnt accept children who dont respect or treat there parents well. In one way God has come in the form of parents to us.Guru Nanak Dev ji had so much respect for his parents, even though they always use to hurt him, scold him. He still did family business, still listenned to his father and even took him to sach khand !

I don't understand, I mean, in Sikhi does it say if your parents hurt you, you still should not hurt them? You should just take in whatever they give/say?

Fateh

So it is wrong to not cover your kesh.

So there isn't a point in me asking do amritdharis have to cover there head is there?

Thank You!

Fateh

Wouldn't they be known as the same? - As Not all males use a dastaar, they also wear a Patka but I just refer to them as Singhs as well?

Fateh

Is it a bad thing to leave your kesh loose?

Firstly, sorry if this topic has been started before.

I was just basically wondering, if you are religious and grow your hair etc, should you wear a dastaar?

Is wearing one something you ought to do for showing respect? Someone told me that Kesh should be kept clean and wearing a dastaar does that, however, leaving it out keeps it dirty thats why most Singhs/Singhnis wear a dastaar. Anyone wanna do the honours of adding onto that?

(Random Question)

Fateh

In my opinion a Singhni is just like a Singh. If you see someone wearing a Dastaar you call them a Singh? (Well, I have a bad habit of doing that), and I just say Singhni to women who wear a dastaar (Again, bad habit). Basically, a Singhni is like a Singh but is a woman. (I think thats a good way of putting it!)

Fateh

I get what you are trying to prove here. I just want to ask is it ok for parents to hurt you?

This is a random question by the way!

Fateh

PunjabiG - Thanks for clearing that up.

Kulpreetsingh - Thanks for clearing it up.

Mugermach Singh - :roll:

Ok, I've heard so many stories about this guy. I'm after the truth, references, book titles, web addresses anything to do with it appreciated! Could someone do me the honour of explaining what he exactly did? What did he do that made some Sikhs call him a "terrorist" and others to call him a "True Saint", someone please clear this up!

Fateh

I know, proberly thinking "She doesn't even know that?"

Moving on..I know the meaning behind Vasakhi..but, why do we hold Marchs around the world? What does it represent? Does anyone know?

Fateh

There have been so many incidents like this. This incident happened ages ago from when this poem was written considering I had received it ages ago. However, this goes on due to many Muslim guys addressing themselves as part of Sikhi. Apparently, they go into Clubs wearing Karai and change their names to a Sikh name, therefore the girl believes him. It has happened a lot and I don't understand, after so many people have heard what goes on, why do some people still just let it happen? It's so confusing and very depressing to hear!

Fateh

The people you'd have to ask those questions are to science! Lol, I doubt many people know unless they are scientists!

Fateh!

I don't actually think that there is an answer to your question. In my opinion, if we could remember, we would be aware of if this life is our first life or not. I've heard that when you die, you have to go through a lot of stages to return to being Human unless your deeds were good. Then again, I doubt that follows sikhi, it's just something I have heard. It's really hard to actuallu say whether you can remember your past or not..

Hope this helped.

Fateh

Hmm..I guess you're right. Still still, doesn't give anyone the oppurtunity to go around and assume people are others without knowing them?

So many Sikhs are judged without being known! It's so..harsh!

Fateh

Yeah ur right we havent got a unique identity, but dnt u think we shud? back in the day, none other than Singhs/Singhnis would be wearing Paghs and keeping Kesh...whats changed?

What do you think of the following link?

Isn't Mukti something you do for something?

EG: Pray for 3 days for someone to get better?

Or when you place yourself to "the test"

EG: Challange yourself?

I dont understand for starters, why people have started comparing us without knowing the slightest detail about Sikhi! It's pathetic. First it was Hindus on about how Guru Nanak Dev Ji is like the sun or some crap like that. I don't see what they gain from doing this?
