Whenever my dad is the only singh at the airport and he sees another singh, even from a distance, he always says “saade vadde bhag, sanu singhan de darshan hoye”
My question to keshdhari singhs is “do you want to raise your kids in sikhi?” And if the answer is yes, then I want to know why you marry moniya. This isnt to attack anyone personally, I just want to understand the viewpoint bc I always thought the point was to lead by example
The sikh hate is getting so real in the gta bro, why am I always seeing posters on the roads that are anti-sikh?? I’ve never once in my life seen this shit before
I love going to gurdware in different countries bc tell me how we were in vienna, austria and all the little girls and boys at this gurdwara were keshdhari🥹 and this gurdwara also had gurmukhi, kirtan, santhya classes. Dhan sikhi
I really didnt want to comment on Malton/Rexdale Nagar Kirtan but it is NOT what it was once was. Back in the day, we would actually sing Bani together as sangat aka “Nagar Kirtan” but now, this last one was beyond disappointing for a number of reasons
There’s this black pickup truck that stays parked outside around 12 am & my dad kept thinking this is sus, could be a car thief bc gwandiaan di gaddi ta hai ni, only to find out today, its just a guy and girl jehre adhi raat nu aashiqiaan karde phirde ne💀💀
Growing up in sikhi vs learning about it in your 20s is so different. Learning about it is one thing, but experiencing it as a child, is another. Some experiences are just unexplainable. I’m sure those who have grown up in sikhi know exactly what I’m talking about
Telling my dad that I wish I had heard this katha years ago instead of today, bc I would’ve gone about life so differently with this knowledge and he says “things find you, when they are meant to find you”
It’s crazy to me how when india tried to kill an american sikh on american soil, their gov took strict action & stopped it.. we’ve now had THREE targeted incidences in canada in less than a year, either at the gurdwara or in the victim’s own home & what action did our gov take?
L O L, here’s your next right wing leader. He said he needed more proof to stand with Canada when a Canadian is killed on Canadian soil, when USA, UK, Australia have already provided reports backing Canada. Is this guy even Canadian at this point?
Every Canadian deserves to live without fear and feel welcomed in their community.
In recent days, we have seen hateful comments targeting Hindus in Canada. Conservatives condemn these comments against our Hindu neighbours and friends. Hindus have made invaluable contributions
The Ontario Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee is posting wanted posters of m*di everywhere, including outside of the Gurdwara. Do we really want to see this person’s face before we enter? Or would we rather see pictures of our Shaheeds so we can open the dialogue of our history?
Next, having a float dedicated to this person & swearing in a loudspeaker, right before Palki Sahib? Is this what we want to teach our kids to recite? Swear words? For all the times these words were said in the loudspeaker, how many times could we have recited Waheguru in sangat?
One deep convo with my dad fixes everything, having a present parent who embodies sikhi values will do so much for your mental well being than anyone or anything can do for you (aside from Maharaj ofc)
I will never get over that nyc couple who had qawwali at their sangeet night, ugh I wish more people were into it so we can skip the daru tracks and have qawwali at sangeets instead
My fav thing about halloween is the toddlers coming up to your door and then struggling to open their candy bag and the parents telling them to “say thank you” in the back LOL literally so cute
When we talk about politics, our goal is to enlighten people of the injustices and current events - many members of the Panth are doing this already via news channels and press conferences, we don’t see any of these Sikhs swearing on a float at a Nagar Kirtan
You appreciate thoughtful people so much more, as an adult. With everyone being so busy with their lives, they rarely think about anyone but themselves, which is understandable tbh. But I’m so honoured when someone takes time out of their day to ask me how I’m doing
I like how west coast people will casually be like “just went on a walk by my house” and the photos will be of literal mountains or the ocean in plain sight, meanwhile the grass I’m touching isn’t even real
Honestly idk what goes through someone’s head when they post a pangti from Bani to a random (non religious) photo dump.. not sure when Bani became an aesthetic but this has to stop
If you are unsure how to voice your opinion, listen to katha on our history, speak with lawyers, community sevadaars, activists on the ground - the resources are endless for those who want to seek them
I hate the rage I feel when someone is rude to my parents but my dad says if he’s not bothered, then why am I and that’s valid but still UGH idk why they had to teach me how to fight if I’m not allowed to swing at someone🙄
I really feel for those that have a hard time understanding katha bc the way katha gives you goosebumps, the way it fills you with sharda, bhaava, bharosa is beyond words, I truly hope everyone gets to experience this
Is it bad that jhanjharan always remind me of kamm karn waliya💀 I mean that’s how I knew the naukarr were home doing saaf safayi without me having to get out and see who it was
Let’s not forget how quick our gov was to release that report on terrorist threats in 2018 citing “sikh extremism” and now when our own intelligence agency has proof of foreign interference & the rise of rss, where is the report?
Just met a random person on my train ride home, he majored in neuroscience and we spent a whole hour talking about the psychology of human nature in social structures
the gori in the bathroom asked me how I got my hair so long and I was like "just don't cut it" and I think she was expecting some secret hair growth formula or something because she looked at me like "???”
I’ve never been too big on sunrises, mostly because I’ve never enjoyed waking up early. But after watching the sunrise on the west coast for a week, I’ve decided that there’s no other way I want to spend my mornings than to watch the sunrise like this, for the rest of my life
I honked at this pickup truck to warn him bc he was INCHES away from getting crushed by 2 heavy trucks, this man rolls down his window and gives me the finger instead?? Lmfao okay go die then
I just hate when I’m out with my brother and someone thinks we’re a couple, I don’t get it?? You see a guy and girl talk at the gurdwara and your first thought is they’re a couple??
it’s my parents anniversary so I asked my dad whats been the highlight of 30+ years of marriage and he says “was marriage supposed to have a highlight?”💀😂
The one thing I hate about social media now is that everything is just couples content, twitter, ig, tiktok, everything is just all about relationships 24/7 ffs
SAF International has been doing such an amazing job helping poor Sikhs across all of India. They’re educating children, teaching kirtan, Gurbani, and itihaas (sikh history). If you want to contribute, check out the link and check out their homepage:
The biggest dilemma for the 40 day simran jaap at malton is that they never have enough bibiyan for langar seva so do I help with langar or do I sit in simran, ahhh why does everything have to be at the same time
Apne need to stop throwing khalistan into every global political event taking place, just to spark some debate lol. There’s nothing to debate, we follow the sant-sipahi way of living & no other kaum follows this
Have you ever hung out with someone that just talks nonstop?? Like I tried to add my 2 cents to this girl’s story and she goes “wait im not done yet” bro it’s been 35 mins, how tf is this story not done yet I want to kms
So my cousin just told me that I don’t need to soak badaam at night, I could just pour boiled water over them and peel them after like 5-10 mins.. this is a whole game changer omg
Having easy to understand katha is so good for youth but whenever I hear a watered down version, my heart hurts because so much depth and emotion of the original katha is lost in simple translation
Being more extroverted than everyone else around you can feel so lonely sometimes bc they just don’t have the same level of excitement as you for simple things
Every time I ask my brother for help, this man always has an insult ready. I asked him to show me how he ties his bunga bc mine is slipping and he says “its slipping because the shape of your head is retarded” 😒😒
The fastest way to preserve our historic gurdware, is to buy the land they’re on but that must cost at least a couple million. Maybe it’s about time we started re-evaluating where our dasvandh is going to
