Yeah, but emotional extravagance can also be harmful and demoralising. We have longstanding and strong traditions of stoicism.
Totally, getting drowned in social media posts and news reports on the unfolding injustices is unhealthy.

He is new to Sikhi, evident from answers given during interviews where he needs to call on more Gurbani quotes to refute questions on taking Amrit and avastha of a new abhikali like with the recent one on Pro Punjab TV.
Time will tell where his allegiances lie, for now I have only seen positives and sing his praises, in all his talks he is pushing youth to take Amrit, stop drugs, stand in unity, fight for rights be it waters, language, independence, facing deep state and so on. Recognition that without Guru Sahib on side all else is bound to fail.

Even my non sikh friends who know NOTHING about sikhi were questioning it. My black mate was going off at the black lady doing the service thingo or whatever these Christians do, and how they enslaved them.
Yeah we were all going off last night. I don't know about the UK, but seems like other than 50 year old racist whites, not many people are a fan of the monarchy or the queen.
How many days does the UK get for holidays because of her death?
We have Thursday off (which is during the school holidays, so Charles, mate, please die at a better time), and Friday is already a public holiday for footy grand final and then there's the weekend.

BBC Website:
Sikhs in Wolverhampton gather to mourn Queen in special ceremonyAbout 200 people gathered for prayers and to share their memories at a Sikh temple following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Prayers lasted for two days at Guru Teg Bahadur Gurdwara in Wolverhampton.
The Sikh holy scripture was recited in a special ceremony over the weekend and a langar meal was shared.
The Gurdwara said it was reflecting on the Queen's achievements, her role as head of the Church of England and her respect for other religions.

About 200 people gathered in Wolverhampton, which has one of the largest Sikh populations in the West Midlands
The chair of the trust in the Gurdwara, Surjit Singh Uppal, said the Sikh community was grieving.
"I believe the Sikh community in this country are part of the family of the nation," he said.
"We are grieving for her, same as the rest of the country, and this is the message we would like to tell the British people that we are part of you."
Gurdeep Singh Aulakh, from the Gurdwara, said the Queen was "deeply" devoted.
"Being head of [the] Church of England was not an easy task for somebody who needs to balance the other faiths," he said.
"All I can say is obviously from myself, from family, congregation, friends, we really want to send the heartfelt condolence to the Royal Family."
Just noticed a dastar wala singing in the choir at the funeral...either a convert or a passion for Christian hymns!!

Things were very confusing back then. Even I don't know what to make of it all this time after. I judge older Badal by his subsequent actions and how he steered Panjab. If people think it is a mess today, the process surely started under his tenure.
We have to grasp these people's psychology i.e. the end goal justifies any actions, any betrayal, any lying as long as you are at the 'top' at the end of it. Just like KPS Gill, though he obviously had a sick, violent, sadistic streak in him too - which trickled down to those he was in charge of.
Badal family has singlehandedly caused more damage in Punjab and to Sikh interests than any other person in history. Over 4 decades his successes alongside his wider cricle can be counted as pumping youth with drugs, destroying Sikh heritage at an alarming rate, be it buildings, artefacts, sites of special interest, hand in 84 attack and the subsequent genocide and extrajudicial killings, making a mockery of the SGPC and Akal Takhat Jathedari, beadbi of Maharaj, selling 368 saroops, selling historic gurdwara lands, list is endless. Afsos dhi gal hai, Punjabis voted him in repeatedly!?

8 hours ago, proactive said:He will be demonised in death the same as he was demonised in life by the Indian media. Not equating Deep Sidhu to Santji but after Operation Bluestar the Indian media claimed that drugs were found in Akal Takht, that women were being held as sex slaves there and that Santji was murdered by the Babbar Khalsa during the army attack. None of these were true. Anything that comes out of Indian media should never be trusted by us. That simple rule will ensure that we do not fall victim to their black propaganda.
No one is comparable to a mahapursh unless they themselves have reached chautha pad. We can however deduce Deep had more than a few parallels in soch. He was jazbati, reporters were unable to challenge him in debate, he had almost perfect answers lined up at every turn, was passionate about saving Punjab and freeing Sikhs from gulami. Unfortunately Sikhs recognise qualities after a prominent Panthic figure dies and in other cases still manage to find faults.

15 hours ago, SikhKosh said:People who are judging him based on his marital status or appearence need to have some shame. First get off your computers and do something for the panth before you point fingers at people who did a lot more for the panth without having the appearence of a practising Singh unlike you guys whose only seva is doing ninda from your couches in the west.
People like Deep Sidhu have always existed in our panth and got the respect they deserved. Mind you, he was no patit; he was a sahajdhari. A patit is someone who has taken pahul / amrit and break rehat, he does not fall into that category. There have been several sahajdharis or 'panth dardis' born into Sikh families who have done as much seva if not more than the amritdharis (sahajdharis: Bhai Moti Ram, Bhai Kanhaiya, ... Bhai Gurbaksh 'Das' was the caretaker of 'Kesgarh' Sahib in the early 1700s, Gopal Das was appointed as a granthi by Bhai Mani Singh at Harmandar Sahib... and modern day Sikhs who have done major seva while being moneh include Bhai Sukha Jinda, Bhai Deepa Heranwala and countless others who were at the forefront protesting against beadbi just recently). Stop marginalizing the moneh or sahajdharis, this has been one of our biggest drawbacks post the Singh Sabha movement.
Getting on topic I would like to point out Deeps nimrata (humility) in one of his posts I read just a few weeks back. He admits and says he knows he lacks jeevan (rahit wise) and does not even pretend to be a contender to be some 'panthic spokesperson or leader', he is simply a kookar (dog) at the Gurus darbar... Read it and have some shame before throwing mud at a panthic person who just passed away.
Vilkul teek kehiya, his passing is a great loss to the Panth and Punjab.
In a similar vein, his detractors should listen to Paramjit Singh Akali from 5.24 and the Singh afterwards about Deeps intentions.

No they treated me like crap when i was young, when i had breads etc , rather stay in bed atm
Go to the Gurdwara on Princes Street, they have trained and qualified councillors. We cannot judge all Gurdwarey or people by one or two negative experiences. Pinning the blame on Vaheguru is not going to make an iota of difference to him but it might to you in the long run. No one can understand your pain but Guru Sahib is ghat ghat ke 'antar' kee jaanat, they are all pervading so know how you are feeling. From a Sikhi angle Karams are dynamic, so regardless of what we say, like someone else said they all catch up with us but some of their affects can be reduced based on what we do in this life ie losing ego through meditation and experiencing inner peace and calm.
Think about the hundreds of thousands of Shaheeds, the bibis who had their children cut to pieces and placed around their necks or thrown on top of spears, shaheedi of Baba Banda Singh's 4 year old son when the mughals cut out his heart and force fed it to Baba Jee, shaheedian of Sikhs with Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib. Imagine if they blamed Vaheguru Jee, none of us would be here today.

all saints are celebrities, agree or disagree?
Is a saint someone who has unique talents, and does well for the world?
so why cant Ronaldo be a saint? if anyone knows him personally and would like to comment, please do
I know him personally as I've been to Lisbon x2, I think he is more than a Saint. When I saw the size of him installed at the Colombo shopping center I could not believe my eyes, huuuuge and bronze it was as if he was only average size on the pitch, yes I'm talking about head to toe before anyone gets any crazy ideas.
have you read Sukhmani Sahib?

For the youngsters out there or those new to Sikhi, it's not ok for a true seeker to date.

This will be an eye opener for Sikhs who are modern in their thinking and aligned with purely missionary soch.

A sakhi I was unaware of, is the one from Guru Har Rai Sahib's time and their Sikh Suthra Shah, he was full of guile and with the thaapee of Guru Sahib literally got away with murder. From 25.40 onwards

Recently came across this jatha who hail from Patiala. All of their kirtan and simran is heart melting, it's all I listen to now. Does anyone have more information on them, looking at their channel, they recently opened a new GuruGhar in Aug '18. Unable to find more vichaar by Baba Ranjodh Singh Jee
