[QUOTE="dalbirk, post: 98603, member: 6456"] Daer Tony Ji , I have sahred with u my experiences , my observation of countless families here in India , not very fimiliar with the situation in UK or diaspora . One thing I like to add is that though the earlier generation was adherent to 5Ks but maybe they were not quite fimiliar with the real message of Gurbani or SGGS , practical benifits of which which their children could not see in daily life . Also some exceptions r always there , whole Amritdarees cannot be painted with the same brush due to actions of a few . Guru is not asking them to do so , there is no contradiction in Gurbani's message nor in 5Ks . Just like a doctor taking oath on gratuation to serve humanity but takes the way of fleecing the public but due to action of a few doctors whole medical profession cannot be scrapped , banned or hated .Or a woman taking marriage vows but goes on having affair with all & sundry , the action of that woman cannot be the baisis of condemning the institution of marriage . Regarding the lavish marriages , if u see Sikh Rehat Maryada , these type of LAVISH PUNJABI MARRIAGES r banned in SRM & r considered anti-Gurmat . [URL="http://www.sgpc.net/rehat_maryada/section_four_chap_eleven.html"]Sikh Reht Maryada, The Definition of Sikh, Sikh Conduct & Conventions, Sikh Religion Living, India[/URL] It is due to the ill-effects of culture or Hindu norms which encourage such marriages . Dowry is prohibted , minimum Baaratis r allowed , Liquor , Mujras ( Orchestra , DJs ) r prohibted , Anand Karaj is to be held in a Gurudwara .
