  1. Once again - I dont mean to be picky or anything, but isnt Langar supposed to be communal kitchen?? everybody is treated as equals and eat together? I know its going a little off the topic, but just asking.
  2. Im fake too.. I cant imagine there are many non-fakes out there... We are only human We can only try to be good
  3. I know the feeling, I used to worry about it.. but, as its been said before - Im happy with what ever waheguru believes is right for me. If that means being single, then thats what waheguru gets. I dont think that will be the case, but I find my parents worry about it more than I do. Reason being, because Im not Amrithdari (yet) - hence the Amritdari community most likely wouldnt consider me, yet I've got a full beard hence my parents think most girls wouldnt consider me.. At first when I started growing my beard (I used to be a trim singh), I noticed that people started treating me differently... e.g. young couples would pretend that they wernt together etc (i found it kinda funny actually!)... and I was a little worrid that I was intimidating people, but now I dont get bothered about it... I think that also has something to do with learning from a 'past experience'.. Im not going down that route again.
  4. Im glad Im not the only one who feels like this. Im not too clued up on stories in Sikh , but I swear I can remember a story when Guru-ji visited a town, in which a rich guy invited Guru-ji to his palace for a meal. Guru-ji refused to go and ate at a common lady's house. etc... you know how it goes, the rich guys roti was made of blood, whilst the common lady's was of pure white milk.. Would that common lady not have been a non-amritdhari lady? Im not to sure, but I honestly doubt that guru-ji would have refused food from non-amritdhari people... At the most, like anybody else, I would of assumed that hygiene is the only real issue?
  5. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh to the Family... Im Keerat Roop Singh Dale (the surname is a spelling mistake! its supposed to be Deol :? ).... 22, West London (Yes, Southall/Hayes!), just graduated from Brunel with a Bsc hons in Comp Sci. Into my family, friends, sikhi, learning and 1/4 mile racing :twisted:
  6. i dunno if anyone else knows this place in India... when you are going along the GT-Road.. I cant remember off the top of my head exactly where it is... but TRUST ME.. if you've smelt the air in the area.. you'll remember.. Its just as you go over the bridge of a flood plain... there is an animal processing factory near by, and it gives off a vile stench of dead rotting/burning flesh.... I believe they process gelatin there... Its vile... I was there in September... evertime I went past, I'd hold my breath... believe.. I can hold my breath for a long time now!
  7. Isnt accepting an organ a way of trying staying healthy??? Is it not a good idea to try to maintain good health and way of life? Personally - I would accept an organ, and am on the Donor list for them to use all of me as 'spare parts'. But yeh, interesting point... what does Sikhi say about this? Does it mention anything on keeping good health?
  8. Thank you Parji/s Thats exactly what I was looking for
  9. In April we had a family Akhand Path to celebrate my fathers 50th , and as with most large Gurdwarea now-a-days, there were several Akand Paths in progress, hence many sevadaars.... I was helping serve langar, when one of the Gurdwara guys called me to aside.. he took me to where they were making the Kara Parshaad, and asked me to help make the Parshaad - That was the cool part, but, then he said (in Punjabi) "This guy will tell you what to do. Hes not allowed to make it because hes a Mouna"... I was a little confused, however I just got on with it. But the fact he said that upset me. Why do the older folk not let Moune sevadaars do certain things?? At the end of the day, I didnt have a clue what I was doing, and Bhaji obviously knew how to make some lovely Parshaad... so why wasnt he allowed to prepare it? I dont want to start an arguement or anything, but it just seems to me that once again we have an issue of certain individuals imposing their own laws at the Gurdwara. Why does this happen?? because I havnt seen anybody say anything like that to a Bhanji who had cut hair (I dont mean to point fingers at people).. I vaguely remember when I was around 3-4 years old, our family lived in Horely/Crawley area, the community had a small local Gurdwara - however, due to there not being many Sikhs in the area, the Guru Granth Sahib Ji was sometimes recited by a Mouna etc... Ok, so the community didnt have a choice in that particular situation, but I cant see how/why others should stop people doing seva if they are willing and capable? Any ideas/comments... or am I completely wrong to question that?
  10. Thanks for the reply Parji I kinda understood that they meant that - I think I worded my question wrongly. 1) has anybody got/direct me to the full translation of the Ardaas... I think I understand most of it, but then as always, I find there are words that I dont understand. 2) ok, so its poetry toward the end, but if its praising Waheguru, is it wrong to say it?
  11. Bhanji's/Bhaji's For the benefit of the not so educated in Sikhi (such as me), could you elaborate a little?? Please? Ive always been trying to figure out whats being said in the Ardass, and understand some of it, but what does it mean entirely?
  12. Personally - I'd take amrit when Im feeling it... My parents brought me up with cut hair etc... but taught me a bit about Sikh along the way (although a bit is never enough ).. anyways.. I never planned to grow my hair - but one day (4/11/96) I started growing my hair, a while later, I started wearing a Pug - although I trimmed my beard and carried on eating meat... It was about 15 months ago that I felt "the love" again... and since then I dropped meat and havnt cut any hair since... Its one of those things that I have found I do when Im not thinking about it, but feeling it?? Do you know what I mean?? Its really hard to explain.. Ive found that certain 'events' in my life have acted as a catalyst though... Its just one of those things I find hard to explain.
  13. I just hope that our generation (and those to come) can make the change and attempt to rid culture of this "culture"...
  14. I can understand where you are coming from with this statement, but I have to disagree with you. Im not trying to justify the way I lead my life, but.. does the name "Sikh" not mean "student"... or "learner".. "Disciple of Waheguru"... so, if your leading a life, where you are trying to learn and be a good student to Waheguru, are you not a Sikh? Ok, so some of us are still at "Primary School" level when it comes to learning about Sikhi/being Sikh, but I dont think that it makes us any less than somebody who is at "Phd" level in Sikhi. - Just read the rest of the posts, realised what I just said is repeating wat Rupz said, but Im still gona post it.
  15. Glad to know Im not the only one But it happens to me really randomly... Do you ever sometimes "trip over" while you are lying down??? Please dont laugh, but sometimes while im lying on my back, I feel like Im tripping over something and react with a violet jerk in the backwards direction??
