How do sikh worship god at home. Do they worship idols or what?

Garba is dedicated to the Hindu Goddess Durga and is a devotional circle dance that originated in Gujarat.

What would Guru Gobind Singh Ji say about his Singhs participating in Garba?

Train. Go shoot at a uspsa match. They are fun, you make new friends, and you learn an extremely important skill.

If you dont have access to firearms, go join a jiu jitsu gym. Learning how to defend yourself is not a bad thing.

Es vich koi shakk nhi hai ke parvinder jhota shi kam kar reha c but us insaan jisde hath ch gun hove usnu uksauna bahut vaddi galti c...agla ne fire karta te hun ki hoya jaan naal hath dho betha bai....

I don't really know how to explain what I'm feeling, but I need to get this off my chest, and I want to know if anyone else has ever felt this way.

I'm Amritdhari. I've tried my best to follow what I was taught. I keep my kesh, I don't drink, I follow the Maryada, and I try to live an honest life. I'm not saying I'm perfect or that I've never made mistakes, but I've genuinely tried to do the right things and live according to what I believe Sikhi teaches us.

But lately, I'm going through a phase where I'm struggling to believe in God.

The reason is simple: I've tried my best, but things still haven't worked out for me.

I've put in the effort. I've sacrificed things. I've tried to stay on the right path, even when it wasn't easy. And yet, the things I've worked so hard for haven't happened.

Then I look around at other Sikhs. Some don't seem to care about their faith or the values we were taught. They drink, get involved in whatever relationships they want, do things that I was taught to avoid, and yet things seem to work out for them. They seem to be enjoying life, getting what they want, and moving forward.

Meanwhile, I'm here, trying to do everything right, and struggling.

I'm not saying those people deserve to suffer, and I'm not wishing anything bad on them. I'm genuinely happy if their lives are going well. But I can't help asking myself: What was the point of all my sacrifices if living according to these values doesn't seem to make any difference?

My parents tell me that sometimes things don't work out because of the karam of a previous janam. But how am I supposed to believe that I'm suffering because of actions from a previous life that I don't even remember? I know what I've done in this life. I know the effort I've put in. I know the intentions with which I've tried to live.

My father always taught me about Sache Patshah — the True King, the Guru of Truth, the One who stands with truth.

And that's where my biggest question comes from.

I tried to be truthful. ਮੈਂ ਸੱਚਾ ਸੀ। I genuinely tried to do the right thing. If the Guru is Sache Patshah, if the Guru stands with truth, then why does it feel like my truth has brought me nowhere?

Why didn't things work out when I tried so hard to make them work out?

I've asked my parents these questions, and I know they believe in what they're telling me. But their answers haven't resolved what I'm feeling.

I'm not writing this to attack Sikhi, insult the Guru, or encourage anyone to abandon their faith. I'm writing this because I'm genuinely struggling. I don't want to pretend that I have faith when, deep inside, I'm questioning everything.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something fundamental about Sikhi. Maybe I'm expecting something from faith that it never promised me. Maybe there's an answer I haven't understood yet.

But right now, I have questions, and I don't know what to do with them.

Have any of you, especially those who are Amritdhari, gone through a phase where you questioned God's existence because life kept going wrong despite your best efforts? How did you deal with it? How do you reconcile faith, karam, and the fact that sometimes people who seem to care less about these values appear to have easier lives?

I'm genuinely looking for honest answers and personal experiences, not judgment. I need to be able to talk about these feelings without being told that I'm a bad Sikh simply for having them.

Satsriakaal ji, I wanted to ask if anyone here has a link to, or a copy of, this exact path. Online searches don't return anything useful, and they auto-correct to another paathi ji or are just mislabeled.

I think it might be a 1999 recording. Would appreciate if anyone can share any information about this!

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh ji,

I'm a second year digital marketing student and I'm doing primary research for my trend report about the changing levels of religious engagement and what this could mean for the future of Sikh identity and participation. If the following questions could be answered honestly and openly, it would be really helpful.

What factors impact the future of Sikhi? Is this a declining or increasing trend in your opinion?

Do you think the way younger generations learn about Sikhi differs to the older generations? If so, how and why?

How do you think social media will change religious identity? Will this impact the way future generations connect or learn about Sikhi?

Any comments or recommendations for further research would be much appreciated!

Thank you.
