[QUOTE="Abneet, post: 194458, member: 19402"] This whole time for about two hours I just talked to my Dad. He agreed on the point that he didn't do enough to help me learn Sikhi, but he felt proud of me of teaching myself Sikhi. It really touched my heart. Spnadmin Ji, There first of all has to be step taking in Gurdwara. I mean literally there must and I mean must be a change in Gurdwaras. Not only are Gurdwaras are getting worse, but it is affecting the youth. Sikh parents should bring their kids to Gurdwara to learn and achieve enlightment. When I mean classes at Gurdwara I mean real actual classes not unorganized assembly room where kids are flocking all over the place. Look at Baru Sahib. They are excellent in teaching kids. I know many Sikhs who have cut their hair and went there for the summer and came back completely changed. It is truly amazing. We need to teach in a similar style. There has to be a speaker a person who has intellect and knows the truth and his Sikhi teachings pretty well. He needs to talk about to parents and urge them to teach their kids at a young age. The speaker can be a Sikh parent or anyone with knowledge about this kind of stuff. People have to stop being afraid and have to be able to tell people you ought to do this or that. It's really hard I know, but it is a must. It's for the good of the Sangat. Like I said the purpose of the speaker is to tell this people including parents what to do and get their knowledge from Rehit Maryada. If these kind of people don't want to read the Scriptures themselves than we must say it to them they have to get the message. Second step, I could say it right now Sikh parents must teach their kids at a young age about Sikhism. It helps in the long run. Many Sikh parents have done this but have found complications when their child goes to college. Another very big issue is Sikh girls. Most Sikh moms in America have cut hair and their child uses that excuse for them to cut their hair, but their dad is a full sardar. This is a big problem, both parents must plan to attack this issue when it might be brought up by a child. Sikh parents that have girls need to learn to appreciate Sikh boys with unshorn hair and dastaars. Sikh teenagers now use the word "gyani" to every boy with a patka and pagh on. It is disgraceful even though though it has a good meaning to it. Sikh girls are whitewashed and look upon short hair boys as their love due to internet media. It is absurd. This is a very big step since amritdhari Sikhs and even Sikhs with dastaars but are clean shaven have a trouble finding a Sikh woman. When they feel this way they have no choice but to cut their hair. Appreciation has to be taught in order for these kind of situations not to happen. More issues to follow. BTW Basic of Sikhi just made a video yesterday about the issue of Gurdwaras. What a coincidence! <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/ANOT3mzf0Ho" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> A Sikh parent must ask what kind of future generation do they want for their Sikh children?
