guru panth di members have requested i post once again, and so, kandola the <banned word filter activated> once again annoys the sangat.

anyway....

rules for trying to get him back,

never never never never never do a katha to him about "saddhi guru and saddi shaheeds" because he will simply switch off, that the worst thing one can do, and i can say that from personal experiences.

gursikh supprt-cant live without them, if you know any gursikhs in your area, invite them to your house and let the sikhi be revived in him.

you cant put a gun to someones head and make them do matha theek, that will only bring bad on oneself.

show him some litreture of the shaheeds but the main thing i say is get gursikh help here, not just on msn because if he uses msn he'll only probably switch and block these people and dee them as fanatics. you need a "conferance" face to face with him, and it may well be good if you brought the family together in one place and let the gursikh do his magic :) .

I would like to say 2 things that I heard in Ranjit Singh Dadrian vale ji's divan and I think that those things are really applicable here.

1.you take a bullet in ur hand and throw at another person,it wont do any damage.You put the same bullet in a gun and shoot and the bullet will kill the person.In the same way,bani is the same,a normal person preaches,it doesnt pearce the heart of the people,some kamai vala gursikh or sant preaches thousands and lakhs get affected.

2.A gursikhs jeevan in itself is a great parchar.

Hence,penji what you need to do is start to follow the rehit of a gursikh strongly.

Secondly,try if possible to get your brother in sadh sangat.

Be patient about the whole issue.Make sure ur brother in the mean times doesnt cross limit and falls in bad company or does some deeds due to which it will be really tough for him later.

WaheGuru Ji Ka khalsa WaheGuru Ji ki fateh

I think that who ever said that who ever goes away from sikhi will definetly come back- is right n im saying this from experience myself-although i havent taken amrit or anything but i tell you that i dont doubt sikhi anymore and defnetly do enjoy hearing Gurbani ect more.

The reason for that was because i felt there was something missing in my life- which is what Gurbani talks about feeding your soul by reading ect. The thing that was missing made me feel incomplete and im wasting my time living and i didnt exactly enjoy life anymore because of some problems ect.

Its good to see that Gursharan is taking interest in your brothers sikhi- it just shows your a good sister.

You just have to make him understand what sikhi is about and if he has any doubts in sikhi try to clear them.

I hope to WaheGuru that you get shown the way to show others the way on the true spiritual path, God willing.

i suggest you:

1. engage him in intellectual discussions (this not the same as preaching to him).  explain to him the benefits of acts of devotion and also hear his views out.  let him challenge your views.

2. give him regular advice to stay away from drugs, 'girlfriends', alcohol etc because they are the road to hell.  it will balance out all the stuff he hears from his 'friends'.

3. teach him small pieces of of Gurbani he can keep in mind.  like 'sabna jeea ka Eko Data so meh visra nahi jahe'.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
