    How do you think we can prevent this from happening further with our girls?

    Education, as well as creating a more accepting environment where victims can come out. 

    We need to also expose these groomers even more. 

    The key factor these groomers exploit is the Punjabi family sense of “honour” which prevents famalies from coming out. We need to fight this Desi perversion of “honour”, and install Gurmat values in famalies to give them a hunger of justice.

    Along with education, exposing, and changing the family framework, we also need to take harder stances against these crimes and set up bait accounts as well as increase sting operations. 

  2. One main point of confusion that I see among anti dasam granth people is the whole argument of "why didnt the Guru include it in SGGSJ" or "are you saying SGGSJ is incomplete". How would you respond to that?

    I would personally highlight the differance between the two, and state how the SGGSJ is meant for humanity, while the DG is more specialized towards the Khalsa.

    ਸੁਣੋ ਭਾਈ ਸਿਖੋ । ਐਸਾ ਸੰਤ ਬਾਬਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਚੁ ਜਾਨੋ । ਦਸੇ ਮਹਲ ਇਕ ਬਾਬਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਜੀ ਪਛਾਨੋ । 

    Listen Sikh Brothers! Recognize Baba Nanak as a true Saint, this is truth. In the ten forms [10 Guru's], recognize Baba Nanak in all of them.

     ਦਸਵਾਂ ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹ ਗੱਦੀ ਗੁਰਿਆਈ ਦੀ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਨੂੰ ਦੇ ਹੈ ਗਿਆ । 

     The tenth King has given the Guruship to the Granth Sahib.

     ਬਿਨਾਂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਕੋਈ ਹੋਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੇ, ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਹੈਨਿ ਦੁਇ ਸਕੇ ਭਾਈ । 

    Without the Granth there is nothing else, the Granth Sahib has it's form in two brothers.

    ਇਕ ਹੈ ਵਡਾ ਇਕ ਛੋਟਾ ਕਹਾਈ ।੨੬੫। 

    [Recognize] One as larger [brother, which is Adi Granth] and one as smaller [brother, Dasam Granth].

    ਸੰਮਤੁ ਸੋਲ੍ਹਾ ਸੈ ਅਠਵੰਜਾ ਸੇ ਗਏ । ਤਬ ਆਦਿ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਜਿ ਜਨਮੁ ਲਏ । 

    In 1658 Bikrami the Adi Granth took birth [was created].

    ਗੁਰੂ ਅਰਜਨ ਜੀ ਕੇ ਧਾਮ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਜਨਮੁ ਹੈ ਧਾਰਾ । 

    In the house of Guru Arjan Dev Ji the Granth Sahib took its birth.

    ਦਾਇਆ ਸੀ ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰਦਾਸ, ਲਿਖਾਰੀ ਖਿਡਾਵਣਹਾਰਾ ।੨੬੬। 

    Bhai Gurdas, with the blessings [of Guru Arjan], was the scribe.

    ਛੋਟਾ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਜੀ, ਜਨਮੇ ਦਸਵੇਂ ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹ ਕੇ ਧਾਮ । 

    The smaller [brother] Granth, took birth in the Tenth King's house.

    ਸੰਮਤੁ ਸਤਾਰਾਂ ਸੈ ਪਚਵੰਜਾ, ਬਹੁਤ ਖਿਡਾਵੇ-ਲਿਖਾਰੇ ਨਾਮ । 

    In 1755 Bikrami [it was born], [Guru Ji wrote it] under many names [Das Gobind, Syaam, Ram, Kaal etc].

    ਸਾਹਿਬ ਨੂੰ ਸੀ ਪਿਆਰਾ । ਹੱਥੀ ਲਿਖਿਆ, ਖਿਡਾਇਆ । 

    [Guru Gobind Singh] Sahib had much love for this scripture, He himself hand wrote it.

    ਸਿਖਾਂ ਕੀਤੀ ਅਰਦਾਸੁ, ਜੀ ਅਗਲੇ ਨਾਲਿ ਚਾਹੀਏ ਰਲਾਇਆ ।੨੬੭। 

    Sikhs did a plea [towards Guru Gobind Singh] to merge Adi Granth with Dasam Granth.

    ਬਚਨ ਕੀਤਾ, "ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਹੈ ਉਹੁ, ਏਹ ਅਸਾਡੀ ਹੈ ਖੇਡ ।" 

    [Guru Gobind Singh Ji] said, "Granth Sahib is the Adi, and [Dasam Grath] is my play."

     ਨਾਲ ਨ ਮਿਲਾਇਆ ਆਹਾ ਪਿਆਰਾ, ਕਉਨ ਜਾਣੇ ਭੇਦ । 

    The wonderous beloved Guru Gobind Singh did not merge them together, who can understand this secret of Guru Sahib? [of why they were kept separate]

    ਸੋ, ਦੋਨੋ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰ ਕਰ ਜਾਨੋ । 

    So, recognize both Granth Sahib's as Guru and brothers. 

    ਵਡਾ ਹੈ ਟਿਕਾ ਗੁਰੂ, ਗੁਟਕੇ-ਪੋਥੀਆਂ ਪੁਤ੍ਰ ਪੋਤ੍ਰੇ ਕਰਿ ਪਛਾਨੋ ।੨੬੮। 

    The larger [Adi Granth] received the Tika [Guruship], the smaller gutka-pothian recognize them as sons and grandson. 

    Where is this from, and when was it written?

    is it important to have Anand Karaj?

    Yes, it's something that every single physical Guru did (except Siri Harkrishan Ji becuase he was literally too young). 

     

    24 minutes ago, puzzled said:

    I mean whats wrong with something like registry marriage?

    The Anand Karaj is not like the western concept of "marriage", its a contract between the couple and the Guru to live a life according to Sikhi. It has a spiritual requirement that is not met with a simple registry marriage. There is a specific reason the Guru created the Anand Karaj, and it was to put the couple on the path of Sikhi as well as to give Sikhs a distinct identity.

    That's why you can obtain gyan when you go within. It is all stored in the Body and Consciousness.

    I have heard stories of Sikhs who don’t even academically study, and just do Bhagti and automatically start learning things they never knew.

    Have their videos on YouTube been demonetised? If not, they'll continue to generate money based on views

    BoS does not put ads on their videos, and even if they did, it would not be anywhere near enough.

    Under what basis are their finances under threat? I'm not quite clear on the scenario being posited.

    To put it simply: expenses outweigh their income. 

    The parent charity “Everythings 13” has many projects, one of which is Basics of Sikhi, among others which are the Parchaarik Academy, Sikh Press Association, the Amritsar Visitor Center, etc. 

    What people don’t realize is that BoS is just one of many sub projects of Everythings 13z 

  7. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh! 

     

    Basics of Sikhi urgently needs help, it only has enough money to last 3-4 months! 

    Basics of Sikhi has helped spearhead Parchaar of Sikhi online. The parent organization “Everythings 13” has multiple projects which include not only Parchaar, but also training the first generation of western Parchaariks, creating content for the children of the Panth, countering anti Sikh propaganda in the media, and spreading the message of Sikhi to the world. Organizations such as Basics of Sikhi are currently playing an important role in the survival of the Sikh Dharam. 

    Basics of Sikhi is more important than any single Gurdwara, because without organizations such BoS, there won’t be anyone to use all these big and fancy Girdwara’s that we like to throw money at. It’s time to invest in the community, which will only generate more returns in the future! 

    Basics of Sikhi had a very major role in my, and many other Sikhs lives. I know for a fact that if it wasn’t for that famous Jagraj vs Dhawa Man video, that I would have never be inspired to become a Sikh, and would just be some Punjabi Boi who plays video games on YouTube. I personally know a lot of Sikhs and families who had their entire lives changed by BoS. 

    I am not getting paid to say this message, I’m just an average Sikh who is trying to do my part. It is my request that you all donate to Basics of Sikhi. If you don’t have the money, then try to donate your time, but in both cases, please share this message EVERYWHERE!

    A general question I have for you is: Are your responses meant to be your own personal take on things?

    Ok so heres the deal: There's going to be two versions of my argumentative Q/A, one is going to be specifically catered towards the Ex-Sikh user/Muslims who attack Sikhi, and I will be for general Q/A's, the general one will basically be the same version except without the meantones of Islam, and will be designed to be applicable against a wider section of critics, but mainly still Abrahamic people and Atheists, as they are the main ones who intellectually try to attack Sikhi.  

    We dont really need to worry about the Dharmic people, but if the need arises, I will create rebuttals against them as well.

    Israelis now greatly resemble the white supremacist nazis the world

    Is that why Israel is the only democracy in the middle east and a place where muslims, christians, jews, gays, etc can all live in peace? Is that why Israel allows people into its parliament who dont support it? Is that why Israel was willing to sit down and talk with others?  

    I try to stay as objective as I can, but even I have to admit that you are misspeaking here.

    We have our own issues to deal with. None of our people should be concerned with anything other than our own issues at hand. 

     "our people" are not just Sikhs or Punjabis, "our people" are all Humans, we as Sikhs should work towards Sarbat Da Bhalla, not just our own. Those who are also concerned with other issues tie everything back to Sikhi, which promotes helping others. This is why you see a lot of vocal Sikhs stand in solidarity with Black Lives Matter, Palestine, and you have organizations such as Khalsa aid which go out and help non-Sikhs, which again, there's nothing wrong with. 

  11. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh! 

    Recently, there was a big protest along the Israel border, and people on both sides got killed. While the Israel-Palestine conflict isnt new, I have started to see a lot of vocal Sikhs, such as Samsher Singh (Anandpur Exile), Harman Kaur, Sikh Talk, etc support Palestine. I find it interesting how some Sikhs support palestine, yet also advocate for Khalistan.  

    I would just like to state that I personally am not choosing a side as I feel that I do not know enough about this situation, however I will say that both sides are not innocent and have blood on their hands. On one side, Israel is occupying lang, on the other side, Hamas is refusing to even negotiate and is calling for the death of Jews. 

    From a Sikh perspective, it is like beef to a hindu or pork to a muslim to steal what rightfully belongs to someone else, however it's also immoral to want to exterminate an entire race. I just want to make it clear that Im just asking a genuine question, and dont support either sides. 

    With that being said, What does the Sikh Community think of the Israel-Palestine Conflict?

    Talking about the issue of being an “ego maniac”, I don’t think you or him understand what that means.

    Are you the same ego manic mod on Sikh Reddit , or is that someone else. 

    Dont know of any "ego manic" mod, but your a big one to accuse someone of ego. Have you tried talking to the guy? maybe you can work something out, better than bad mouthing him behind his back.
