Why are majority of Sikh saints men? When I visited India I met lots of saints but they were all men? Women were touching their feet with their heads or hands in a very subservient manner. I found it very awkward. Why be so subservient? From what I have learned about the Sikh religion, I was under the impression that a Sikh, whether it's a woman or a man, were not allowed to bow down to another human being. I never came across any Sikh women saints ever throughout my six weeks stay in India, let alone witnessing men touching their feet with their heads or hands! Every Sikh saint I saw was always a man! Are there no women saints in the Sikh religion then, like Saint Teresa of Avila, St Adenine in the Christian faith? There are many more, but I can't name every single one. I know, I don't understand everything about this religion or its followers, but surely, this must be a very common question posed by those that are not born as Sikhs or Indians? I was so surprised to see this and still am.

No one can understand them in India 'cos they try to speak in English but end up speaking in Indlish!!!! It's an Indian version of English!
Is this so? You can understand them if you listen to them carefully. I heard They learn to speak English very early on in their lives. Its a shame if what they say is hard to understand by others. When I was in India everyone spoke in English to me, they were very surprised to find out that English was not my first language. Just because I am from the West they assumed English would be my spoken language! They learned something new when I told them that not everyone in Europe speaks English. I told them the French are very proud of speaking in French . It was quite amusing to see their reactions. Mind you, I could manage a simple conversation, but I got lost for words when it came to asking anything more detailed or elaborate.
I thought it was very sweet of Mr Cameron to wish a Happy Vaisakhi to the Sikh community in the Uk. I have never heard the French, German or a Swedish politician ever doing this.

That's a very modern way of modernizing India amidst protesters with a bulldozer all over the place. Very civilized and ultra modern!!! Never seen this happen anywhere before.

What I mean is, before someone removes it from YouTube. These sorts of videos incriminate the government. so they may wish to have it covertly removed to cover their own backs and protect their image.
You are quite right, it wouldn't surprise me if it is deleted.

Better download this video before it gets "removed"
Why would I do that? They can remove it if they like, they will only be exercising their right to do so, it's their forum!!! I am just a participant, I don't own anything here!

You mean to say that menstruating women actually go and tell Mr Singhs at the gurdvaras they are menstruating?

Some on here who call themselves Singhs think women are disgusting and that anything they touch while menstruating becomes desecrated. So they want to place limitations on women to not do seva during that time. Then they will say that women are now lesser than men because they can't do as much seva as they can even though the men are the ones who created the limitation. Gurbani says pure/clean are those in who's mind the lord abides. These Singhs can wash a million times but never remove the filth from their minds that they created by putting women beneath them. They do not realize that God is everywhere. It makes no difference if a bibi is sitting on tabiya on her period or sitting 10 feet away in Sangat. Because God is everywhere including inside that bibi! and Gurbani also makes it clear that Guru = God. The same God whose divine essence is inside that menstruating bibi. These derawalas have fudu mentality. The disgustingness is in their minds.
How would the Singhs know if a woman is menstruating? Do the Singhs have a special device that can tell them which female within the 4 walls of a Gurudvara is on her menstrual period? The Singhs must be very highly developed souls to know exactly which woman is on and which one isn't.

I have been preparing for the Amrit for almost two years now. I have learned the Punjabi alphabets and say my prayers regularly. I would just like to ask a very basic question and that is, when does one know for sure that they are ready to go through with it? Does a person wait for some supernatural experience which tells her/him they are ready? I am not sure.
