So basically after Guru Ji did kirpa and comin closer to sikhi, i started hanging wiht my old friends less. there not bad people but they are more into drinking and pub crawls and clubbing, etc. then other things. I dont really know alot of gursikhs like as mates, I was wondering what do gursikhs do in spare time. I mean i kno u go to kirtans etc. but when u just wana chill and stuff, like ive got summer hols comin now, all my old mates r planning days out and stuff, but i dont wana do that, because like i sed even tho they are good people, its not my thing nemore and its not a good influence on my mind etc. Like kirtan etc. is at night and u r there for meditating, what do u do in the days and like when uve got loads of time off? i kno u shud read bani and do simran but also socialising is important, how do gursikhs do it? how do u meet gursikhs that u can just chill with?

Where do you live?

If you are in UK, there's plenty of camps through the summer.

There's camps for youth/students (over 16's) where you will get to meet sangat

Also most towns have kids camps- Guru di kirpa, go there and do seva, or travel to where kids camps are happening

Guru di kirpa- sometimes i miss my uni days as in the summer there was camps every week. loads to keep busy

or find sangat in your area

How old are u?

if there's no sangat in your area at all, and you want to keep busy in the summer, but don't want to do the pub thing etc, maybe do some volunteering

again if there's no sikh organisation in your area, maybe check with your local hospital or charitable organisation, you'l lbe doin seva, plus you'll get to meet other ppl from different communities which will help growth within your own sikhi

But 1 thing, make the most of your free time (summer) because as u get older and when u enter gristhi jeevan-u get less time and life becomes busy.

make the most of your free time- don't waste it idly

Hope this helps

thanks, i appreciate ur post, im hopefully going to a camp this year, but still thats only one week. Ive got tonnes of free time, ill see about the volunteering, but also i just neeed to mix with singhs n stuff as well. I don't know why its so hard, i think it must be where i live (in london) its a shame becuase im thankful maharaj has kept me close to him but i think others who arent strong might get led astray when there is so little sangat. LIke i said kirtans are the most important thing but u need a friends circle, or ur just gna go back to ur old mates. I'm such a loner these days its unbelievable.

    • 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.
