Bow down to the courage of Bhai Jagraj Singh Ji, he is in lots of chardi kala!
Waheguru
Tarun Singh The only thing Sikhs should bow down to is the Guru.
The Turbanator Not only Guru but parents and elders too
Jazz B Absoluly NOT, the Guru is the ONLY one Sikhs should bow to. Our Elders and Parents are corrupt with the 5 evils and are not worthy of being bowed to. The Guru is perfect and will always remain with you when your parents and elders will not.
The Turbanator That's obvious that Guru is perfect. Bowing to your parents does not by any means indicate that they are perfect, on the contrary, it's a very respectful thing to do.
Yes we should show respect for people like our parents and understood people like Jagraj but matha tegh is the highest respect only earned by guru ji
The quality of these videos is brilliant, keep it up!
Thanx bos team for ur seva to society
Thank you! Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa.
Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh. 🙏
As a relative newcomer to Sikhi and Sehajdhari, I found this video really welcoming. Glad I watched this.
very informative
I would request everyone to be nice to Sikhs who don't keep their hair. I personally know people who have a lot of knowledge on Sikhi but don't keep their hair. We should encourage them instead of excluding them.
Thanks for saying that. Actually I’m trying to learn about the history, culture, language, religion etc as I grew up in westernised house, even tho both my parents can speak Punjabi fluently, they never did to me. Only when they was shouting 🤣.
And also I do feel the superiority complex from some punjabis, which is fine. I can understand they see me as a gora kind of thing, but I definitely don’t feel an inclusion to the culture etc. But I have been studying as much as I can independently for the last 10 years. Since I was 16 :) I feel bad when I do things that go against sikhi, like have a haircut etc but like he said in the video, if you’re not amritdhari then you haven’t committed sins cos you haven’t been initiated. But still I know in my heart what I should be doing. Respecting the ancestors ways etc.
thanks
A sehajdhari was a name given to Sikhs in Sindh. The modern definition of Sehajdhari comes from the SGPC Act which was made after 1947. The particular term referring to Sehajdhari was forced into the act by the Congress government.
What if you're not Punjabi, don't understand half of what's going on when sitting in sangat, only read gurbani in English, have matted kesh, but jap naam and hear that naad, feel dasam duar? When do we go from Ek to all this division?
it is a universal fact that any religion which gets promoted gets more divided .
💘💘
Surprised caste/guru specific (e.g. Nanaksar/Nirankar etc) Sikhs were not mentioned which is pervasive by the type of gurdwaras names dedicated to castes or specific Gurus and congregations in the UK.
veer ji i want to ask u a question... dumalla can be wear by the gursikh and no one can wear a dumalla???.. if not then why all the gursikh says u have to be a gursikh or u should be a gursikh....for this..?why?
Wear what you want it’s waheguru that should keep you on track it’s a hard path
Paji, dont take offence but Id like to ask where you got your giaan from on 'sehjdharis'. Where does Guru ji speak about it in SGGS?
Please make a video on Karninama.. quite confused as to is it really by guru nanak dev ji or was it a propaganda
Traditionally it is beleived to be Gurbani. Some Scholars have their own view. In old saroops Of Adi Guru Granth Sahib it was included after Raagmala
TheSaintSoldier INL thanks I am trying to find a Katha on this.. Karninama & mangal parkash seem like no solid info is out there nor do the Granthis talk about them.
Aman Singh If you live in India you can talk to elderly Nihang Singhs or Nirmala scholars about these banis. I'm sure they will know alot
Sehaj dhari sikhs are those who are slowly progressing of becoming Amrit dhari not all who do not have uncut hairs . They are not even Sikhs . A person by birth in Sikh family does not become Sikh . When he or she follow the path of guru then become sikh
Tell from gurbani not by your mind brother
@@wearecoders9966 cutting hair is a Banjarmasin Kurahit, gurbani always talks against cutting hair
@Basics of Sikhi To which party in Punjab we should vote this time? As you know elections are on 4th feb?
navrajdeep singh brother support Aap.
1. No one responsible for beadbi brought to justice
2.CONGRESS KILLER OF SIKHS
navrajdeep singh This is an interesting question. Very honestly, I'd go for AAP as well (because, to keep it short, politics in today's world is about choosing the option that does the least damage, just saying). AAP is a young party, in my view, an honest one trying to actually make a difference. BJP is a no no and so is Akali Dal. Congress is so old and corrupt , I'd not vote for them. (Not until some candidate comes along who truly seems different)
JAIDEEP SINGH we need to be responsible for protecting guru granth sahib. we can not look to government for help. gurbani must not be looked away but in safe hands of gur sikh at all times
Thanks for the suggestion... i will think about it
mj897 brother totally agreed but government is responsible for law and order of state, people who did beadbi were not nabbed but people who killed a rss leader in jalandhar were caught in 48 hours,
if singh's tackle in their own way they are termed as disturbing elements and without any proof put behind bars. government has certain responsibilities and duties towards society which are to be done at all costs
Only fools argue on kesh....
Inner sikhi is more important than outer sikhi which perishable intime...
Humanity, is above all.
i have kes, but i do trim my beard, i go to gurdwaras every sunday no matter what, and any other day during the week if i get time, i try my best to regularly do path everyday and stay close to sikhi, I've always defended those weaker than me and helped those who need help. am i considered patit?
Pardeep Singh Brother a Patit is a Amritdhari Sikh who has broken Rehat. U fall in the category of "Sehajdhari". Sehajdhari actually means "Slow learner". Sehajdhari means who is not ready to become a Khalsa at once. But Our goal shud be to become Amritdhari one day, kyunki jis tarah jina bartan(Utensils) te mohar nahi hundi oh lawaris hunde ne, usi tarah Asi Guru di mohar toh bina lawaris haan.
You haven’t committed yet
Why do you cut your beard?
I would estimate that about 98% of Sikhs are Sehajdhari. This number is very low and just goes to show how far the Panth has fallen.
duke1duke1 you have a picture of guru gobind singh as your profile picture - guru gobind Singh wanted an image for his Sikhs- something which I presume you aren’t following which would mean Sikhism has fallen as the gurus have given up this gift of hair growth- you don’t have to understand it to commit to it- it’s a small price to pay for the love of guru
duke1duke1 -falling: meaning going further away from the path of keeping rehit. Kes is just 1 of the five pieces as you know. Respectfully
@@drjohal yes but what’s more important is how much we recite and remember Wahegurus name. It’s what in our heart that matters. I’m a sehajdari, I keep my kesh but I didn’t take Amrit. I’m still religious, and so is my family and friends.
is it latest
Hunarjeet Singh sodhi This was in August 2016 :)
Yoga, shiva etc all predate the hindu way of life, hindu is geographical and cultural identity, therefore don't place something limited into the same category of something that will show us the way to liberation
So Sehaj Dhari is considered Sikh yes or not?
Only if there goal is aligned with sikhi
What about a amritdhari who struggles to wake up amritvela, is that patit?
Barjinder Pannu In my humble view ; from what I understand, no, that won't make you a patit. Amritvela can be taken to be every hour , every breath spent in remembrance of Guru Maharaj, the more specific would be , getting up for those hours before dawn when the world is asleep ,and to chant the Naam then. That is like one more paurhi, one more step towards the Guru, a brilliant and most important addition , however, you're not a patit if you're struggling to get up. Patit is one who breaks the basic rules, the rehat.
Barjinder Pannu Veerji it is true that those hours are somewhat special and truly important, because that is when one can concentrate the best, the vibes in that hour are different , it is like, what one gurupyaare mataji used to say, like being amongst the very first at the Guru's Dar, the Guru's attention is all yours to get. So yes, it is very important and the vibes then are amazing, beyond compare.
Barjinder Pannu praying at amritvela hold a special place in sikhi but we have no set time for prayers the importance we keep God in our hearts and jaap naam.
Japneet Kaur satbachan penji, you are right. The vibes are different and amazing but sometime one gets lazy and my main concern was that ive become patit for not waking up early in the morning.
No worries veerji, anytime :)
This is not the spirit of Sikhism. You are diluting it when you differentiate between people. The 4 doors in 4 directions in Guru Maharaj ji's abode is against this mindset.
No there is the perfect way to god and then there’s the other paths- being an Amritdhari is the hardest path
Yeh bahut such he!!!
A very nice video with a wonderful message.
Though I have one question, I have seen many Hindus, especially Sindhi Hindus(Hindus with sindhi mother tongue) they every year organise Sukhmani Paath in their homes, also in their marriage, though they marry in a Hindu temple, but their marriage is not considered complete if the couple does not visit a Gurudwara.....
They say that all 10 gurus are their Gurus, Gurugranth Sahib is their Guru, they even organise langer at a very large scale during Guru Nanak Jayanti, but they also pray to lord Laxmi during Diwali, they also go to temples....
In which category will one put them? Can they be considered as sikhs?
They are not obeying guru path as guru does not allow us to warship stone god. Many of us in Sikh religion accepts guru Granth Sahib our guru but do not follow what guru is saying . So we are also not Sikh of guru Ji. Hope u get your answer 🙂
@@arshdeepsingh-jd9pk Thanks, I got your point, just wanted to clarify one thing that they don't pray to Stone or Stone God, they pray to one of the form god appeared on earth, but today most people pray to stone rather than god.
@Josh ジョシュ A Sikh is someone who surrenders to the Guru Sahibaan, if they take someone else as their Guru than they haven't surrendered to our Guru Sahibaan. Guru Nanak Dev Ji says:
If you desire to play this game of love with Me,
Then step onto My Path with your head in hand.
When you place your feet on this Path.
Give Me your head, and do not pay any attention to public opinion.
Second, worship of hindu deities is done through idols, which is completely wrong. There are many verses against idol worship. Some of time are quit harsh. Let's not commit the actions Guru Sahib forbid.
@Manny Singh
Guru Granth Sahib ji ang 556
The Hindus have forgotten the Primal Lord; they are going the wrong way.
As Naarad instructed them, they are worshipping idols.
They are blind and mute, the blindest of the blind.
The ignorant fools pick up stones and worship them.
But when those stones themselves sink, who will carry you across?
@Manny Singh there are many verses against Idol Worship within Guru Granth Sahib Ji.
You can find them all here (very interesting do read):
www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php/Sikhism_on_Idol_Worship
U say that hanumaan follower are different Hindu,shiv follower are different but I give u lacks of name who believes In all Hindu gods.,
Then what who are
U cant follow 3cr gods at the same time
Sammy Malhotra there was no such thing as Hinduism until the British’s idea of religion came
I don't think
For being a Sikh you have to have a specific look or something
Because at the very first place
Guru Nanak ji refused to wear a janeu
The same thing applies here also
The Sikh swaroop is given by Guru Gobind Singh Ji , just to differentiate them from the common people .
Teaching of Sikhi or being a Sikh cannot be limited to outfits.
Yeah, totally agree.
I also agree
Peyare dost, Guru Nanak Dev Ji refused janeu because pandit said that by wearing it u will recognise as a high cast....that's y Guru Ji refused to wear but listen ,Guru Gobind Singh ji said to wear kirpan for help of needy people...and beard and head hair means kes is also important as it is naturally grown and if u cut hair so it mean u disrespect one universal god.... Also Guru Ji said ok Gurbani that "tere banke Lohan lambde Bala" means that God has beautiful hair teeth beautiful eyes....so it is must for a person to admire it
@@ranjeetaulakh9602 ਰੂਪੁ ਨ ਰੇਖ ਨ ਰੰਗੁ ਕਿਛੁ ਤ੍ਰਿਹੁ ਗੁਣ ਤੇ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਭਿੰਨ ॥: (“Prabh”) has no form, no shape, no color; “Prabh” is beyond these three worldly qualities. (sggs 283).
So if you are saying God has hair, why above para is in SGGS?

In islam theres a major historical split. Shia-sunni!!! In islam allah can only pass judgement. At the time of the prophet a new muslim was peeing in corner of the masjid. The prophet stopped the sahaba from stopping him.
In islam we dont know our own individual salvation, then how can we pass judgement on another human being. I found the gudwara having good points, but its vvv judgemental, i was doing a wedding video n was told to cover my hair!!! In a masjid generally people do their own thing n not concentrate on the other.
The attraction to islam is the seerah of the prophet. Theres allot of propaganda, but at its core he was a great example of how to live your life.
Dear brother thts not called being judgemental..rather it is called advice or guidelines for obes own benefit...like justa as parents teach their children certain rules sk that they can become successful in their lives nd be gud person ..thts not called judgement of parents ..rather they think benefit of their children only ...same is the case here what u r talking
And all the more one cannot reach a specific target unless bounded by some path with certain guidlines and without some set of spiritual rules or Maryada initially it is not possible to reach the highest stage of spirituality ie.manzil- e- haqiqat...
Can you logically or rationally explain why to keep hairs ? NO
So this is nuts, just a hypocrisy...
I know this might be hard to believe but once you have found the true waheguru inside you by doing simran repeatedly for at least 6 hours a day, each and every strand of hair will start uttering the name of waheguru in your subconscious just like breathing. By doing this you will find true bliss and peace in your mind.
There is also scientific research on how cutting hair repeatedly from generation to generation can lead the future generations to become born blind. I also know that this most likely means nothing to you but once that inner belief and trust in waheguru comes you will definitely believe that keeping hair is one of the keys to finding bliss.
Because Guru Sahib instructed us to. More than enough my brother. Those are God's words they are uttering.
Inner sikhi is more important outer sikhi look which is perishable..
Only fools argue on kesh...which is least important...
After some time these Sikh will start un touchability as well... 😁🤣🤣
I born in hindu family but i dont follow hindu religion means that i am not a practicing hindu... I follow the path of guru nanak dev ji... I go to gurudwara and follow the gurbani and guru granth Sahib ji... Can i also say myself a sehajdaari sikh ??
