Must be something?

[Guest curious]

Okay so this thought all began from the song - Mangni by Joban Sandhu... this song is about a girl who fasts on Mondays for her desired groom, i began resarching into this and saw that there are a lot of ladies who do this... seems kinda like a cute thing as every spends a huge amount of their time dreaming about their perfect husband so its like their actually doing something lol...

I was wondering is there any truth in this, even if it a tiny bit? there must be something because the bazurgs back in the day were quite knowledgeable. I know its nothing to believe in blindly like imagine if you fast so you can value food and ezperinec the hunger some people go through everyday alongside keeping a varat of lying and other bad and doing sukhmani sahib, would be pretty good.

No, Sikhs don't believe in rituals

[Guest hello]

It may feel like a romantic thing but it's a hindu thing, as are many cultural things. Like maiiyan on wedding and circling water and so much more. India is a hindu dominated land so even though bajurags are wise, it probably is that they followed the sheep to some extent. Hindu culture is everywhere loook at divali lorhi pre wedding rituals almost everything is hindu traditions are 'indian traditions' as it's their country. This doesnt mean that sikhs should follow any of them. Yes we may have indian ethnicity.... does that mean if somebody becomes british thst they must follow christian traditions? Of course not. hope this makes sense.

Fasting at best, can only make one loose weight.

Gyan, sharda, pyar, pargaas, is only got by devoting ourselves to Owner of akhoot bhandaar of all virtues, who is none other than Wahiguru Akal Purukh, as per Gurmat, through His chintan alone, not by any type or amount of rituals.

Sat Sree Akal.

Your ignorance is defiently bliss, it may look like a romantic thing that they were fasting, but in reality it's a Hindu custom called Karva Chaudh, it's a religious thing for them, doesn't actually mean anything. (What kind of songs are you listening to and putting the lyrics in your head?)

If you would have listened or read a shabad instead you would now be having some thought connecting you to the divine.

doing fasts , putting the body through hardships in the name of penance or as a bargaining tool is mentally deficient activity because you are misusing the body Waheguru ji gave you as your vehicle in this plane of existence, besides what can you offer Waheguru ji which already wasn't owned and given by Him? Answer is your Love . Love and trust Waheguru totally and you not only will have sukh in this land but in the realm beyond. Just as putting sindoor on your parting will not do anything to lengthen your husband's lifespan , doing fasts or feasts changes nothing also , this is fokat karam (pointless/unrewarding actions) do Sewa of the poor , read gurbani, sing kirtan , listen Katha these will help you more in life . Cultivate santokh (contentment) within life by living in hukham, embrace sat (truth) by contemplating His qualities and japping nam

It's not Karva Chauth, it is called Sri Shiva Somvar vrat which is particularly taken during Shravan month. Mondays are sacred to him, and so it is the preferred day to do the vrat dedicated to him.

Akal Purakh made all days equally valuable ,there are not bad days   just wasted ones

Dhan so vela jit darshan karna

So it's a different fast festival, (actually watched the video without the volume to seem to get a somewhat understanding of what O.P was talking about). BTW, even without listening to the lyrics, note to O.P, listen to Kirtan and Gurbani before music, at the very least a little bit to start.
