Hey bhenji.. Well if i was in ur case, i would jus one day, sit down with him talk about everyday things/ideas. And then bring up the topic of sikhi. And i agree 100% with raju bhenji/veerji.

"Usually the people who rebel the most when they are young turn into the most hardcore religious later. "- Raju.

That statement is very true. And yes, maybe is u take amrit, and show him / explain to him wat amrit and sikhi is, he will be inspired. I hope i helped.

Guest i know how u feel.

penji, i Know exactly how u feel. My brother does the same. Doesnt wear a kara, cuts his hair, goes to parties, doesnt come to gurdwara. I have done the same. I have told him i wanted to take amrit, after i finish Uni. And he laughed and said " yeah rite! u keep a rehit? thats not possible" I was furiuos with him for days. I know how u feel. I wish i could bring my brother and family into sikhi, n go on the right path... towards Guruji. If u need any help jus PM me. Take care

i know many people in that situation..

my suggestion... talk to him about sikhi.. make sure he knows what its about... but like one of the earlier posts said... u can't do much about it... it's his life... maybe its not written for him to find guru jee this life... who knows... we can't force anybody to become a sikh... allz u can really do is show him love and try to teach him as much bani as possible... the rest is up to him... maybe one day he'll find guru jee.... guru jee has already found him...

if it were me, dont even talk to him about sikhi, that would basically be preaching. Preaching is bad, unless they ask.

A great king was on his deathbed and his last words were as follows:

"I tried to chnage the city thinking that f I changed the city the state would change. I tried to make the stae better thinking that the country would fix itself up. I tried to change the country thinking it may change the world. But I have failed. On my deathbed i have finally realized something. If I had changed myself, maybe my family would have changed. If my family had changed, maybe our community would have changed. If our community changed then maybe our city would have changed. If our city had changed then maybe my state would have changed and so forth. I should have changed myself rather than trying to change the world."

Personal experience: One of my highschool classmates took amrit recently, her cousin is one of my best friends. inspired by her he started keeping Kesh. Inspired by him I started keeping kesh 7 months ago. Now my Chaacha has started keeping kesh again after he cut his hair back in 1989. This is real life inspirational proof that oce you change yourself, others with Waaheguru's glance of grace will follow.

fateh!

    • 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.
