Naam Simran's application has quite a lot of flexibility and versatility. It can be used on it's own, it can be used with breathwork or it can be used in kirtan. It can be recited slowly or quickly, in a melody. The end game is connection with the Akaal. It's just the few times I been to this particular gurdwara, the Sangat become very drone like. This is just my opinion and experience, it is not right or wrong. Apologies if this offends anyone.

Once you hear it, you will know what I mean.

If you ever watched Star Trek and know of the Borg and they did Naam Simran, that is what it sounds like.

No. I have done naam simran in many other gurdwaras but the way they do it in that gurdwara is very strange. Not even the AKJ does naam simran the way these guys do it. The darbar Hall Is absolutely huge. You can have 200 people seated and it feels empty. Maharaj is on a very high platform. I understand that there are many ways of naam jaap but the manner of the naam jaap feels very cult like. If anything the Protestant/Victorian's would approve of it. It is done in a very robotic manner. If you don't believe me, you should go there yourself.

These guys came from Swindon UK and had a gurdwara there before they moved to Slough. It's a nice Gurdwara but there does seem to be a cult like feel to the place. I have done naam simran there and the way it is done feels a bit eerie. That is just my opinion.

Peculiar bunch these particular Sikhs are. These Afghan Sikhs when they were given asylum in India and because they were left to fend for themselves wanted to return in spite of the increase in danger.

By all accounts, the drug trade is largely controlled by people in very high positions in the political establishment which is one of the big factor as to why the Indian elites were after Amritpal Singh.

You are not wrong there. I guess if the stats were further broken down we would have a much clearer indication.

Canada has been a gateway for drugs into the US, probably as an alternative to Mexico and other Southern routes and some of the drugs like cannabis were typically more lax in Canada. This is why Vancouver was very popular with US celebrities like Snoop Dog and Joe Rogan. Punjabis involvement is likely due to being heavily involved in the trucking industry and it is very common for Canadian Punjabi truckers to cross the border into the US. Punjabis in Canada also quite involved owning lots of land in Canada and they probably grow a lot of cannabis as it has become very lucrative. These pendus understand logistics, they know how to buy land and they know how to grow lucrative cash crops. These pendus are also well versed in working with other crime syndicates. This does not sound like they don't have brains.

I have no idea to what extent that their cousin marriage is prevalent since they do not seem to have the same level of health issues, but I could be wrong though.

The Afghan Sikhs have biradri system. Their clan like nature has benefits and they do give each other a helping hand. That aspect of their culture combined with the mercantile-ness as well the environment they come from makes them quite adept in the smuggling business and money laundering. We have absolute no idea of what things they got up to back in Afghanistan. Punjabis and Gujaratis do not network in the same manner and do not have the same mindset.

They have been surrounded by Muslims historically so they have picked up some of those cultural values. Looking at those pictures, the white guys look slavic/east European. Most of the polish shops are run by these guys.

If you can't do the time don't do the crime.

Hearing about this transhumanism where the elites are trying to develop AI, with the end goal of leaving the human form to live forever. Foolish elites, humans have been transforming from humans to non human forms by living this human life and then leaving this world. It's been going on since humans have been on this earth and with other sentient beings since the beginning of time. No one does Maharaj better than Maharaj . Humans can be truly 1diots!

If what he says is true, I have concluded we Sikhs are the only people that believe in the One.

Look up Lloyd de Jonghe. I found this guy on YouTube after watching the Xtian/Muslim debates as these 2 groups are trying to pick holes in each others scriptures. He's a South African guy (mixed race/coloured guy) In a nutshell, there are 4 levels of Muslim Sharia is really for the bottom level Muslims. Basically, the high level Muslims are like free-masons. He breaks it down into simple bullet points. He goes into the Arab terminology. Islam in his view is Basically re-packaged Paganism as Allah is a moon God. The origins of Islam is quite interesting as the standard narrative is not what you think it is

It would be if the majority of the Sangat is from Panjab. The bulk of the diaspora has moved in the last few decades and it takes time for the diaspora to adapt to their environment.

They have hundreds of years to perfect their techniques. During Jahanghir's time, I imagine that the Muslims during that period were probably converted quite recently. So the indoctrination was not so embedded into them. Islam has different levels. One for the common Muslim, one for the scholars etc. There is gnostic, esoteric level that is available to the high level Muslims. It is basically belief in the occult. Bhai Jagraj Singh was quite a unique character/personality, quite charismatic. In his early career, he worked in sales and I imagine in his younger days, he probably had the gift of the gab. In sales/marketing terms, we have a superior product but we are not particularly good salesmen.

It's a hotchpotch of paganism, heretical Christianity/Judaism. It's heavily influenced by the Jewish Talmud. It's a deen not a religion for the most part. Deen means a social-political system. That is why when you see Muslims debate, they argue like lawyers with a bit of sales spiel thrown in. You ever notice the way their dawah types speak, it is called "simiya ". It is a form of NLP that they have been trained to do. If you look at their Koran, it is a very small book. It needs to be supported by Hadiths and other sources. One verse in the Koran can be abrogated by another verse. The hadith can supplant the Koran and vica versa. All very circular, designed to confuse. That is why Muslims find it easy exploit the rules in the UK, they look for loopholes because In Sharia law, for every law there is loop hole. They come from a system of rules and regulations. We are more a principle based people. Though we have our edicts and rulings, ours are relatively more straightforward and less complex.

Other than the dawah types shouting from the roof tops when they have 1 convert, where is the proof and evidence that everyone is becoming Muslim? Ali Dawah and Hijab are just youtubers, they are just entertainers and they know how to game the algorithms like Andrew Tate has done. Since you love youtube so much, I suggest you watch speakers Corner with these guys. They come across Bible Thumpers like "Bob the Builder ". This guy can debate and he beats Hijab hands down everytime. I will suggest you also watch when Hatun and Jay Smith brought with them , so many different versions of the Koran and you should see how the Muslims reacted. We do not have a tradition of meeting complete strangers and telling them to recite Mool Mantar(without understanding) and then saying they are Sikh now. Where the Muslims seem to be gaining ground is the agenda that is being imposed by the elites on the populace. It seems that the Muslims get a free pass on a lot of things and they seem to be allowed to push back on the agenda. If they are accused of being transphobe they can pushback with pointing the finger back with islamaphobe.

When there is a conversation to Islam, it is publicised which is why it seems that there a lot of converts. What is not told is that the majority of these converts leave after a couple of years. There are probably a lot more people that in some ways align dharmically in the west. The difference being of course in our tradition you could probably believe in Sikhi without some formal conversion. Though we have Amrit, there is nothing stopping a non Sikh to attend a gurdwara, matha teking or reading/listening to Bani or naam Jaap. I think that there are probably hundreds of thousands of goreh in the UK that at some level de-facto Buddhists or some form of Hindu since there are increasing number of goreh that are taking up meditation practices or yoga or some other mantras. I have a white buddhist friend and he had a gathering at his place and I was with two other fellow Sikhs and the rest of his friends were white Buddhists. Not the shaven head robe wearing kind but everyday looking goreh. The west to some degree is shifting towards Eastern philosophies. It's just that we do not hear about it as it is shouted from the roof tops.

In our tradition, we consider men and women as equals. There were female warriors who fought in battles. Our women are not a passive bunch. However, does this make our women lose aspects of their femininity and make them more masculine?

According to Christians we are born with sin. The reason they think this is because we according to them the human race are descended from Adam and Eve and they sinned and were casted out from the Garden of Eden. We cannot be saved except through Jesus Christ because he was born of a virgin birth. Only he can save us because he is God incarnated into human form and is his own son and since he was not descended from Adam and Eve, he is not affected by this original sin and therefore can save us. This is not how we consider sin. We are not born with sin but we are come have effects of karma from our own previous incarnations. We have divinity within us, a "jot" and we do not need to be saved. We are part of Waheguru, how and why does Maharaj need to save something which is a part of himself. After 84 lakh joons, it is a blessing to get to the level and a form of a human which provides us an opportunity to break the cycle and get back to Sach kind. We got this far, what is so sinful about that?
