Vidya guru/Ustad is a teacher whom you take gurmat vidya-training from - very common term among puratan samparda's like taksal, nirmale, sevapanthis, nihangs..vidya guru/ustad are used interchangeably

To original op question- no there is no maryada or ceremony that i am aware of.

How many of you have them? If you do how did you meet, come across them?

Is there a maryada or a way of getting a vidiya guru?

This is an awkward area, as it can give you many different answers.

A true sikh only has the ONE GURU- Granth Sahib Ji.

I prefer to use the term vidya ustad or teacher/mentor.

As we have lots of deras and babas, that are mostly in it for themselves and not sikhism really, they get to be called 'GURU' either by the followers or they self claim.

I am just going to say, that a true gursikh does NOT need to be following any of these babas or deras ar ehtye are just like sects and diversions from true sikhi.

So, when some one says that it is all thanks their Guruji who is so and so from so and so, then you should take a step back and think !!

They will come to believe that it is their baba who can help enlighten them and ferry them across the world ocean !!1

When infact, the the only thing that gets enlightened is the bank account of so called fake Guru.

So, my question is what or whom are you really looking for ??

Or has some one led you to believe that you need a human guru besides SGGS ji to help ferry you across ????

You ses calling someone teacher/ustad/mentor is VERY different to calling them 'Guru'.

    • 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.
