As i go to aston university i can tell you that there isn't any gurdwara in walking distance. The ramgharia gurdwara is the nearest which is near the jewelery quarter but best to get a bus down there. Guru Nanak Nishkam Sevak Jatha Gurdwara Soho Road is the best gurdwara near aston which has lots of sangat, and have gurbani path all day long and other programmes. A bus can be caught from the town centre to soho road straight (74,79 and probably others). Soho Road also have asa di vaar in the early mornings in the dome but dont really know what time. There are many gurdware in Birmingham but not all are have much sangat hence not many programmes. Hope that helps.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Soho rd looks like the place to be then. And to aston sikh I'm going to study optometry btw what course are you doing?

Also I would like to know if there are any private student accomodations that have ensuite rooms? Any good personal recommendations? THANKS

tbh with u bro living in halls not really good sucham wise and stuff even if its en-suite the kitchens shared thats where u get all ur problems.

but uve really got no other choice since u going from london, best thing would be either lakeside or the new accomodation being built but they'll both cost u around 110 quid a week.

for second year your bound to find a few singhs just get a house between a few of u tht'll be cheap aswell. otherwise see you around aston next year :)

Singh I suggest you get accommodation with unite. The rooms are currently about £98+ but better still try to find a place out of the uni area as the accomodation will be cheaper and plus you can find a flat near a gurdwara.

Singh I see you are quiet into sikhi; get an account so I can pm you about someone who is at birmingham and they can help quide you more spirtually to a new level... TRUST

    • 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.
