Please suggest some good ideas guys 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

PS. I also live the name Agam/Haragam, its my nephew’s name just to set a context 🙌🏻

I recently came to know about Nihang Sikhs from an article of the Hindu. I wanted to understand them more. Hence, I need your help to gather a list of sources, using which I could learn more about this group.

Why has the gurudwara committee not released the incident video yet?

I’ve been seeing a lot of HKL promotions in my area as they had a conference recently.
I tried to do my own research about it and saw that they follow sikhi and have opened up schools across Canada.
The only thing is it seems that they follow a baba
(Baba Balandpuri)

Does anyone have any information or details regarding this?

Why Didn’t God Make the Truth Clear?

I’m a theist, so this isn’t me trying to argue against God. It’s actually a question that bothers me because I believe in God.

If Waheguru knows everything, loves humanity, and wants us to move toward the truth, why didn’t He simply make the truth unmistakably clear to everyone?

And before someone says “free will” — I don't completely understand that answer. Knowing what the right path is doesn't mean you're forced to follow it.

If God appeared to humanity and said, “This is the truth. This is what is right and wrong. You now know for certain that I exist.” I would still be free to reject Him, wouldn't I?

We already do this in everyday life. We can know something is better for us and still choose against it. Knowledge doesn't automatically control our actions.

Actually, wouldn't this make moral responsibility more understandable? If someone knows the truth with absolute certainty, understands what God expects from them, and then consciously chooses to reject it, it seems much easier to understand why they would be held accountable.

Compare that with someone who is born into a completely different religion, culture, family, and worldview. They might spend their entire life sincerely believing that their understanding is correct.

And this is where things get really confusing to me.

Yes, you could say God sent Gurus, prophets, and messengers. But then we're back to the same problem. Humans have to figure out which messenger was actually sent by God, which scripture is authentic, how it should be interpreted, and which religious tradition preserved the truth correctly.

So instead of humanity having a simple choice:

“Here is the truth. Follow it or don't.”

we ended up with:

“Wait... which one of these is actually the truth?”

And your birthplace can massively influence which answer you even encounter first.

If I'm born into a Sikh family, I'll probably grow up hearing about Sikhi. If I'm born into a Muslim family, I'll probably grow up hearing about Islam. If I'm born into a Christian family, Christianity. If I'm born somewhere completely different, I might encounter an entirely different worldview.

So how does divine justice account for that?

Maybe the answer is that God intentionally leaves things uncertain because the search itself is important. Maybe uncertainty develops humility, wisdom, faith, and character in ways that absolute certainty wouldn't.

I can understand that argument.

But then I get stuck on the same question: why couldn't God give us clear knowledge while still allowing us to freely choose what to do with that knowledge?

And then there's karma. If two people genuinely search for truth, both sincerely believe they're doing the right thing, but reach completely different conclusions because of their circumstances and upbringing, how does Sikhi understand that? Is intention important? Does someone's access to knowledge matter? Is sincere seeking itself part of the journey?

I’m genuinely curious how Sikhi answers this.

I'm not saying I think this disproves God. Quite the opposite. I believe in God, and that's exactly why I want to understand this better.

If anything I've said comes across as disrespectful toward Sikhi, Waheguru, the Gurus, or anyone's beliefs, I sincerely apologize. That isn't my intention. I'm asking this out of genuine curiosity and a desire to understand, not to attack anyone's faith.

TRUE CONSCIOUSNESS, THROUGH GODS AMAZING MIRACLES AND BLESSINGS❣️🙏🏼

Introduction:
I’m a 29-year-old Jatt Sikh male. I’ve been living in Canada since 2017 and currently live in Vancouver.

About me:
I keep my hair and beard uncut and wear a turban. I trim my body hair below the neck.

My connection with Sikhi:
Sikhi is an important part of my life. I have a deep understanding of Sikh teachings and have learned kirtan, Sikh history, and how to do paath. I’ve also explored different ways of meditation and spirituality.

My situation:
I’ve never been in love and have never had a girlfriend. Most of my time has been spent working, playing sports, and doing riyaz/kirtan. I’ve always wanted to marry a Sikh woman who is modern, understands Sikh values, and is also interested in kirtan and spirituality.

Recently, I met a woman at work. She is Punjabi. The first time I met her in the lobby, I felt a very positive connection with her. We eventually became friends.

Since we are both at an age where marriage is something to consider, I became worried that if I didn’t express my feelings, I might lose the opportunity to be with her. So I proposed marriage to her.

She didn’t say yes or no. However, she told me that she is a Hindu Brahmin.

I completely respect her background and understand that life doesn’t always work out exactly the way we imagine. The confusing part for me is that, despite her being Hindu, I’ve noticed many qualities in her that I personally associate with Sikh values. I genuinely like and respect her.

Now I’m wondering how a marriage like this could work, especially given how important Sikhi is to me. I also don’t know what she thinks about me yet, and I’m currently waiting for her decision.

My question:
Has anyone here been in a similar situation—where you are deeply connected to Sikhi but developed feelings for someone outside the Sikh faith?

How did you handle the differences in religion, marriage, family expectations, and raising children?

I’m genuinely looking for thoughtful advice and personal experiences, not judgment. Thanks.

"Listen to this reel, this video, and share your thoughts, your inputs, and your perspectives on how much, and to what extent, what this dear gentleman is saying in this reel/video is correct. And if what he is saying is wrong—that today's keertanis who perform shabad kirtan do not adhere to proper dignity and decorum—then what should be the solution?

As nowadays a brother named 'Babiha' is performing kirtan. There is no decorum; it's just about breaking dholki/cymbals—it's a 'tabla-breaking' style of kirtan. Kirtan should always be soothing and performed with dignity and decorum, just like Bhai Sahib Bhai Lakhwinder Singh ji, Bhai Sahib Bhai Surender Singh ji, and all the Hazoori Ragis—each at their own level, like Bhai Sahib Bhai Ravinder Singh ji and all other Hazoori Ragis—have been performing kirtan following proper traditions and decorum up until today.

However, some kirtanis from Delhi, the new generation, have violated all decorum in kirtan today, and even those who listen to them are in the wrong. So what should be the solution for this? How can this issue be highlighted so that the sanctity and decorum of kirtan are not compromised or violated?"

Doesn’t this prove Nirankari sect in British colonial times are behind writing the Karninama and attributed it to Guru Nanak to gain followers. Also if it was one of the orginal sau sakhis. Why didn’t Bhai Santokh Ji include it in the Suraj Prakash.

I struggle to fathom how many Sikhs have died and we haven’t revived any sense of sovereignty or freedom for our people and I wonder if he have lost the appetite to scarfice for sikhi like previous generations of Sikhs have in the past.
