Why any ethnic community opens their own place of worship. I can't think of even one faith which doesn't have places of worship based on ethnicity or cultural differences, even if they follow the exact same interpretations of doctrine and theology as the majority.

birds of a feather flock together ...

Probably.  Sigh.  We know that Sikhi is open to all races, but you have to be careful when white people start taking your culture.  Are they starting these gurudwara just because they are good Sikhs and the community needs a gurudwara?  Or are they suffering from a lack of culture and trying to appropriate someone else's, and feel the need to be in control themselves out of lust for power and ego?

 

I'm not sure if this is true, but isn't the moderator of Sikhnet a gori?  He seems to do a good job.

The title to me suggested a new White Gurdwara might have been built, NOT ANOTHER ONE I thought to myself :p

A Jatha Singh once suggested a thought provoking idea - imagine having only one Gurdwara (Darbar Sahib, Amritsar), the sharda would increase exponentially, be no beadbi cases and the Sangat will queue for days on end to have a glimpse of the True Guru. No need to bash him or think about the practicalities or that we have massive increase in Sikh populous, just think about it! I'm not interested in the negatives.

Even if there was one Gurdwara per country, it can only be of benefit Sikhi in my opinion.

    • 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.
