The sikh community worldwide has not more than 30 million adherents. So can we afford to have interfaith marriages.I am no supporter of it but how can we stop it. Sikhism will only stay alive as long as people who profess it stay alive. What are your views on this topic ?

This says more about you as an individual more than anything. Mir Mannu when Khalsa mothers had haars (garlands) of their children's body parts maybe you should have told them your philosophy. Or perhaps when half of Sikh population was shaheed in 1 day for refusing to convert.

Sat will always stand the test of time. The path of Sikhi isn't an easy one to follow and for those weak of heart.

If you've seen/heard of this story above, you'll get to know the root of your question.

You must have heard about Guru Gobind Singh, haven't you? Then surely you also must have heard about his Shabad "Manas Ki Jaat Sabhe Eke Pehchaanbo". If you haven't then it might be a good time to hear and learn from it now.

You must have heard about Guru Gobind SIngh, have you? Then surely you also must have heard about his hukam:

  1. Sir munae noo kanaiaa nahee daenee. Uos ghar daeve jithae Akal Purukh dee sikhee ha, jo karza-ai naa hovae, bhalae subhaa da hovae, bibaekee atae gyanvaan hovae|

    Do not given a daughter's hand in marriage to a shaven one. Give her to a household where the Undying divine personification Akal purakh and tenets of Sikhism are respected, to household without debt, of a pleasing nature, which is disciplined and educated.

Who someone chooses to marry is of no concern to me. But, I think Sikhs should generally stay from interfaith marriages (unless he or she isn't religious and neither is their partner) since a marriage where both parties are fiercely religious in different faiths is a ticking time bomb.

It is never recommended for Sikhs to marry people of different faiths, as they have Manmat in them and won't help improve your GurSikhi. Gurmukhs are based on quality, and if we have Sikhs who marry outside, (especially women, not being sexist), then the faith won't be as strong. This is why the Muslim grooming gangs are even a thing, because we falsely trust them. All of this and basically, "Roti Beit Di Sahnjh"

Nothing wrong with interfaith marriages (well personally i do have a problem with them because their kids will get confused as to what parent to follow etc.) But if someone wants to have am interfaith marriage go ahead.

BUT not in a gurduwara!

the rehat marayada states that only a sikh can get married in a gurduwara infront of guru granth sahib ji maharaj because you are making a promise to guru that you will follow his hukam. how can you do that if one of the couple doesnt belive in sikhi??? thats why it is manmant to get have an interfaith marriage.

i'd go on for longer but... meh. lol

    • 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.
