I have heard that they are told to keep sikh appearance/names so they are more accessible to Sikhs after they have converted.

That does make more sense veer ji as they are using the sikh outside apperance to hunt more newer converts especially these 2 images i saw online made me lost for words.

Brother there is no way to know if this is actually true or not. We don't even know if this 'convert' had a basic level grasp of his heritage in the first place either. 

True you are right veer ji it was a mistake i made posting that video.

Here is the background information od Harkowale Sahib before Baba Ji came in the pind and other saakhis

I found this video on youtube today and i was really shocked. Its because of these type of videos that everyone thinks sikh are a easy target.

so please what is the rule for non-amrtibhari.. I see so many mix ups in opinions it bani we should be good.. but at the same time I dont want to anger Shaheed Singhs, by not following the rehat/maryada 

In one katha our hindu had done the path he was good, In other katha it was said that amritdhari should do the path?? 

 

It would be easier if someone can ask Giani Thakur Singh ji themselves.

Veer ji i myself have read this bani paath and i am not amritdhari yet. But as long as you keep away from meat alchool smoking and have a ishan bath before reading dasam bani its ok.

Why do you think they haven't cut their kesh? I noticed a few female converts in London also keep their Sikh names too?

True veer ji its hard to understand why they keep their kesh and sikh names after converting.

Maybe it could be to decieve other fellow sikhs as they usually say apperances can be decieveing.

I think for some time now, the pagh dhara has just become some sort of regional dress for the majority of wearers in Panjab. It's not really an indication of any sort of connection to Sikhi. 

That's what happens when you put more emphasis on external features than internal ones. 

You are 100% right veer ji. All that i see is just people doing lip service when even reading bani as well.

But you are right veer ji as wearing the turban paag is now a culture tradition cos i have seen a few videos on youtube with sikhs having full bread and turban converted into christan religion which was shocking to see.

Just shows how people don't know anything nowdays even though we live in a modern tech era as well makes it more sad not knowing our history culture religion etc.

I think often the quality of the teaching is what puts people off or hinders them. Do consider trying again, but maybe approach the task in a different way than before.

If you can already speak/pronounce words in Panjabi, at least a third of the work is done already. 

You are right veer ji my speaking and listening skills in punjabi are really good as i always listen to punjabi material as the katha,kirtain deewans etc. 

So learning and many banis was a

hard at the start but i got better using the audios and repeating after the sounds.

It can be a bit off putting i do agree the way people teach but i am gonna download apps and look at videos for learning gurmukhi then see what happens.

Thanks Veerji.I'll start trying to hear youtube and get the pronounciation right.

Is Ardas to be done daily?

Yes veer ji its always best to ardas after doing paath simran. Its important as i heard a saakhi on Baba Harnam Singh Ji Rampurkhera Wale about the importance of doing ardas asap after any amount of simran paath etc.

Veera, have you ever thought of learning Gurmukhi? Or tried? It's well worth the effort in my opinion. I know it isn't easy all the time though. 

Veer ji i did try a few years ago than stopped. But i might try again as its hard always using roman english which makes it harder to read new banis.

Thanks for the motivation Veerji. I don't know how to do Ardaas,always had a Granthi do it. 

Veer ji i am glad to help. Doing ardas is really easy i myself can't read or write in punjabi but i know it off by heart as the opening of ardas is from chandi di vaar which i have been reading for over 3 years. 

Here is a english roman script of ardas and hopefuly you can start learning it using a audio from youtube and repeating the words the same way i did with my paaths banis etc.

@Jageera veer ji its really good that you keeping up the hard work. Believe its not a easy task stopping a habbit of any sort and its not going to away straight away. 

So you probably are having withdrawl symptoms which is normal and thats why your mind is playing tricks on you as you are trying to programe it via paath simran. So its best to ignore the minds thought craving and focus on the jaap and everything will be ok. 

Also keep doing ardas as well and keep yourself occupided with as much religious material as you can.

Veer i have tried different websites , i think i need to dig more, i have read somewhere..but now i cannot recollect

Veer ji if you could download and look at this app of Sri Sarbolh Granth Sahib Ji it could help a lot as this is the full sampooran granth. I would have looked at myself but i can't since i can't read or write in gurmukhi punjabi.
