| Re: Is Sikhi Being Wasted on Sikhs? I'm looking for a prospective bride for my cousin in Australia . The father of that girl has posted this detail of bride I recieved today in mail . ..............she is looking for a partner where it could be potential for marriage in future ......... HE:........ Must be someone who enjoys eating out , travelling & have a generally active lifestyle , MUST BE CLEAN SHAVEN . Sums up everything which is wrong with Sikhs today , they just believe in EAT,DRINK & MAKE MERRY . Use Sikhi & their background for personal AISH ( definition varies from person to person ) . This is an article which I endorse fully word by word . The way out would be to preach Sikhi to all of 1200 million Indian ( leaving out present Sikhs ) in their mother tongues starting with Hindi , Gujarati , Bengali , Telugu , Tamil , Marathi which are the bigggest spoken languages in India in addition to English . My take would be to translate Guru Granth Darpan by Prof Sahib Singh Ji in all these languages & do Katha & explanation in all these languages starting with Hindi & English , this is IMHO the most imporatant project which has been neglected wheras we are wasting billions of dollars annually on show off & ego boosting exercises like Kirtan Darbars , Nagar Kirtans , Goldplating & building more Gurudwaras , roadside langars , Hemkunt Yatras , high flying ( & paid Raagis ) Sants , Babas whereas our existing 1% of Sikhs hardly can recite the name of TEN GURUS in sequence , hardly 5% have heard of Sikh Rehat Maryada & only 0.05% know its contents in addition to 95% of village youth who have gone apostate ( clean shaven ) |
