Visiting the golden temple has become a very trying time and I am only talkng about queing up to pay my respects to Sri Gurun Granth Sahib Ji. Most of them seem super impatient at the queue. I have always been shoved and overtaken in the queue as though there is a lucky draw prize waiting for...

I find this argument that "where in sri guru granth sahib ji it said that we cannot cut hair" is absolutely stupid. this is a talk of a 3 or 4 yr old child. as soon as you question as to where it is written and need proof, it is so obvious you are a person trying to justify your action by...

I am surprised that you get annoyed just because a person has some sort of a name that is not traditional. But the beauty of this person is that he still maintains the name Singh. Most of those living in Punjab and elsewhere have discarded the name Singh after their name as they fancy calling...

Re: Help me please - (Lust & Sexuality) I must congratulate you for having the courage to share the most intimate details of yourself at a forum like this. Glad that you realise that you think you have a problem and is prepared to allow us to advice and at the same time learn from it. I am...

Having a ban in place will undo all the good all of us have been trying to do. To save the religion from extinction. It will drive people away from our religion as there are too many rules. No other religion has any issues with keeping hair except Sikhism. Why is it that only Sikhism has a...

The fact is that we must admit that the reality is before us. Sad but true. But do we need to argue amongst ourselves that who is right and who is wrong in his belief. What we should do is think collectively as to how we can encourage the younger brother and sister of ours to love the religion...

Golden Temple Every time I visit Punjab, I make it a point to visit the Golden Temple. And each visit also brings me bad experiences. I decided to write now as I just returned from Punjab and am hoping that with a momentum from this forum, immediate changes can be made as it affects the Sikh...

I would like to add that one should never get angry if a person of another religion were to inquire about a Sikh beliefs, teachings and culture and costumes. Explain to them each and every time so that eventually they will understand Sikhism better and also spread the word to their friends...

Re: How many sikhs have married out of Caste/Race Most of the posting contained about Sikhs having distinction among themselves. I believe that it exists only in Punjab. Those who have moved abroad from Punjab have brought their traditions, cultures and also their shortcomings, like a caste...

I live outside of India and listen to punjabi songs more often than not. I crave to watch punjabi videos of my favourite songs. but what is so demoralising are the actor and actresses in the videos. Practically hero is clean shave and the actress has short hair. Nothing of the punjabi culture...

Dear Balbir, Your message is absolutely ambiguous. A clarification would assist so that we all can respond accordingly.

Gurbani on Zee TV It is a privilege to receive the gurbani live from Darbar Sahib but what is frustrating is that the segment ends just when the Giani is about to read the Hukumnama for the day. I find that the Giani takes about more than 10 minutes just to unravel the Sri Guru Granth Sahib...

how shameful that an act of this nature that blesmishes the true teachings of the Guru is allowed to be shown in a drama. from what little that I know about the SGPC, it is toothless and nothng more than a group of people gathered for their selfish needs. I always thought that the SGPC was the...
