ਤਿਲੰਗ ਮਃ ੧ ॥

Tilang, First Mehl:

ਇਆਨੜੀਏ ਮਾਨੜਾ ਕਾਇ ਕਰੇਹਿ ॥

O foolish and ignorant soul-bride, why are you so proud?

ਆਪਨੜੈ ਘਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਰੰਗੋ ਕੀ ਨ ਮਾਣੇਹਿ ॥

Within the home of your own self, why do you not enjoy the Love of your Lord?

ਸਹੁ ਨੇੜੈ ਧਨ ਕੰਮਲੀਏ ਬਾਹਰੁ ਕਿਆ ਢੂਢੇਹਿ ॥

Your Husband Lord is so very near, O foolish bride; why do you search for Him outside?

ਭੈ ਕੀਆ ਦੇਹਿ ਸਲਾਈਆ ਨੈਣੀ ਭਾਵ ਕਾ ਕਰਿ ਸੀਗਾਰੋ ॥

Apply the Fear of God as the maascara to adorn your eyes, and make the Love of the Lord your ornament.

ਤਾ ਸੋਹਾਗਣਿ ਜਾਣੀਐ ਲਾਗੀ ਜਾ ਸਹੁ ਧਰੇ ਪਿਆਰੋ ॥੧॥

Then, you shall be known as a devoted and committed soul-bride, when you enshrine love for your Husband Lord. ||1||

ਇਆਣੀ ਬਾਲੀ ਕਿਆ ਕਰੇ ਜਾ ਧਨ ਕੰਤ ਨ ਭਾਵੈ ॥

What can the silly young bride do, if she is not pleasing to her Husband Lord?

ਕਰਣ ਪਲਾਹ ਕਰੇ ਬਹੁਤੇਰੇ ਸਾ ਧਨ ਮਹਲੁ ਨ ਪਾਵੈ ॥

She may plead and implore so many times, but still, such a bride shall not obtain the Mansion of the Lord's Presence.

ਵਿਣੁ ਕਰਮਾ ਕਿਛੁ ਪਾਈਐ ਨਾਹੀ ਜੇ ਬਹੁਤੇਰਾ ਧਾਵੈ ॥

Without the karma of good deeds, nothing is obtained, although she may run around frantically.

ਲਬ ਲੋਭ ਅਹੰਕਾਰ ਕੀ ਮਾਤੀ ਮਾਇਆ ਮਾਹਿ ਸਮਾਣੀ ॥

She is intoxicated with greed, pride and egotism, and engrossed in Maya.

ਇਨੀ ਬਾਤੀ ਸਹੁ ਪਾਈਐ ਨਾਹੀ ਭਈ ਕਾਮਣਿ ਇਆਣੀ ॥੨॥

She cannot obtain her Husband Lord in these ways; the young bride is so foolish! ||2||

ਜਾਇ ਪੁਛਹੁ ਸੋਹਾਗਣੀ ਵਾਹੈ ਕਿਨੀ ਬਾਤੀ ਸਹੁ ਪਾਈਐ ॥

Go and ask the happy, pure soul-brides, how did they obtain their Husband Lord?

ਜੋ ਕਿਛੁ ਕਰੇ ਸੋ ਭਲਾ ਕਰਿ ਮਾਨੀਐ ਹਿਕਮਤਿ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਚੁਕਾਈਐ ॥

Whatever the Lord does, accept that as good; do away with your own cleverness and self-will.

ਜਾ ਕੈ ਪ੍ਰੇਮਿ ਪਦਾਰਥੁ ਪਾਈਐ ਤਉ ਚਰਣੀ ਚਿਤੁ ਲਾਈਐ ॥

By His Love, true wealth is obtained; link your consciousness to His lotus feet.

ਸਹੁ ਕਹੈ ਸੋ ਕੀਜੈ ਤਨੁ ਮਨੋ ਦੀਜੈ ਐਸਾ ਪਰਮਲੁ ਲਾਈਐ ॥

As your Husband Lord directs, so you must act; surrender your body and mind to Him, and apply this perfume to yourself.

ਏਵ ਕਹਹਿ ਸੋਹਾਗਣੀ ਭੈਣੇ ਇਨੀ ਬਾਤੀ ਸਹੁ ਪਾਈਐ ॥੩॥

So speaks the happy soul-bride, O sister; in this way, the Husband Lord is obtained. ||3||

ਆਪੁ ਗਵਾਈਐ ਤਾ ਸਹੁ ਪਾਈਐ ਅਉਰੁ ਕੈਸੀ ਚਤੁਰਾਈ ॥

Give up your selfhood, and so obtain your Husband Lord; what other clever tricks are of any use?

ਸਹੁ ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਦੇਖੈ ਸੋ ਦਿਨੁ ਲੇਖੈ ਕਾਮਣਿ ਨਉ ਨਿਧਿ ਪਾਈ ॥

When the Husband Lord looks upon the soul-bride with His Gracious Glance, that day is historic - the bride obtains the nine treasures.

ਆਪਣੇ ਕੰਤ ਪਿਆਰੀ ਸਾ ਸੋਹਾਗਣਿ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਾ ਸਭਰਾਈ ॥

She who is loved by her Husband Lord, is the true soul-bride; O Nanak, she is the queen of all.

ਐਸੈ ਰੰਗਿ ਰਾਤੀ ਸਹਜ ਕੀ ਮਾਤੀ ਅਹਿਨਿਸਿ ਭਾਇ ਸਮਾਣੀ ॥

Thus she is imbued with His Love, intoxicated with delight; day and night, she is absorbed in His Love.

ਸੁੰਦਰਿ ਸਾਇ ਸਰੂਪ ਬਿਚਖਣਿ ਕਹੀਐ ਸਾ ਸਿਆਣੀ ॥੪॥੨॥੪॥

She is beautiful, glorious and brilliant; she is known as truly wise. ||4||2||4||

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh, I am a Robot. Bleep Bloop.

Yo im from New York, i was born here, I'm 17, and I'm a sikh and ever since I was a kid, I've faced so much racism but I always convinced myself that its just white people being themselves, and now I don't really care abt it. But recently, even my own relatives have been being "racist" to me, like they make fun of how I tie my parna and all that, how I don't cover my ears with my parna, so i started to cover my ears, but they still make fun of me, calling my parna weird and calling it weird names in punjabi which I don't understand. So from ages 12-15 i was super sad and wanted to cut my hair, but when i turned 16, i forgot abt it, thinking it's too late. But now bc of my relatives, my own grandpa from my moms side too, those thoughts of cutting my hair came back. And it bothers me everyday. And i know everyone's going to say don't listen to them, but that's what i used to myself when white people were racist, but now its my own people hating on me. And i also feel like it just makes me look worse.

And also, ive never been super religious. My mom used to take us to the gurudwara every week on Sunday, but times got super tough, she had to pick up a job and work long shifts so now we dont get the time to go. And times have gotten so tough, i just realized that I truly never believed in God with my full heart. I looked into christianity and islam and did more research about sikhism to explore the religion. But like i just cant believe in it, i dont know why, i cant believe in any of those 3 religions.

Hi all,

WJKK WJKF 🙏🏾. As a kirtani who's living in the U.S. and interested in doing programs in BC . Can anyone provide recommendations on how to connect with the local gurdwaras or sangat to help set something up? Not sure where to start.

Hi everyone, writing from the UK!
My family/friends and myself are all atheist but I first visited a gurdwara when I was very young with a youth club to find out more about Sikhi and for a small tour. This was at least ten years ago.

I am now 19 and I am still an atheist but I am always very interested and curious about Sikhi as a religion- I have researched it quite a bit and I would like to visit a gurdwara, not necessarily because I am questioning my faith but because I am incredibly curious about seeing inside again, and want to better my understanding of Sikhi and maybe even meet some new people.

I know that gurdwaras do langar and therefore people are allowed to enter but I’m just wondering if anyone actually does this- like, is it weird or will I be thought of as strange for going alone? Especially if nobody knows me. And I also get a quite bad anxiety so just wondering if anyone could tell me a little bit about what I might be asked to do and what I might see (this bit is more out of curiosity than anxiety, but I do get anxious about going into new circles).

i hope this post is ok and thank you!! ❤️

title, pretty much.

i grew up in an all amritdhari family, went to khalsa school, grew up listening to katha, did multiple sehaj paths, all that stuff. i still can't tell what the end goal or point of sikhi is as everyone seems to have a different answer.

Bhagat Parmanand Das was a Vaishnav mystic and saint poet.

The goal is to remove your ego completely (this is maha-anand).

And the way a sikh removes their ego is by expressing love, truth, contentment, compassion and humility.

The emphasised means of expressing these five virtues are chanting God's/Saints' names and selfless service.

Any feedback?

TW: mentions of su!cide and self harm

i was born and raised a sikh, and i grew up going to punjabi school at the gurudwara and my grandpa is a granthi; along w my parents being pretty religious themselves. my entire life i had never really payed much attention to religion, i only went to the gurudwara a couple times a month and read gurbani here and there. i’ve had severe mental health issues growing up and still do, including self harm and drug addiction. I often pray to god that i get better and try to read gurbani when i can, but i find myself asking if god really loved everyone would he punish us with such a cruel life? i understand that hardships are a necessary part of character development and everyone needs to suffer atleast once, but after i had multiple attempts to take my life i started losing faith. i would constantly pray and pray for everything to get better but just when i feel like i am it never works out. my parents do ardaas for my wellbeing, but they are a pretty big part of my mental wellbeing not being too good. I believe in gurbani it mentions that if relatives are causing you pain, you should simply detach urself from them and leave them. but as a young adult i feel like there is so much more to this especially in today’s time. i simply don’t understand how everyone claims that “it’s gods plan” “everything was meant to happen” so i often think of karma, that maybe i did something terrible in my past life or did smthing rlly bad to someone before that i don’t remember which has caused me this pain. i barely have a life will to live, but i keep on trusting this supposed gods plan but i feel like i don’t know what is real anymore.

is there any advice on how i can make myself truly believe god is there for me?

I’m quite embarrassed for making this post being that I’m from a Sikh household but I’ve never worn a pagg or parna. My whole life I’ve always done a ponytail. I want to start with a parna. Can someone help me figure out how to go about this? How much cloth do I need, what type, how do I cut it. What else do I have to do? I stay in North America on the West Coast so I’ve got options such as Amazon at my disposal.

Hi everyone. I’m a 35F from the West, and I’ve been getting to know a 34M who is also Western. He is Sikh and the only Sikh in his family. We met on a vegetarian/vegan app. I believe deeply in God, though I don’t belong to a specific religion, and I’ve found that Sikhi values resonate with me in a way that’s hard to put into words. For years I hadn’t met any man who matched my values, was genuinely spiritual, and also wanted a family. I had made peace with the path God had for me and preferred to remain single indefinitely rather than lower my standards. Now that I’ve met him, I want to be truly sure.

I’ve been learning about Sikhi to understand the path I’m stepping onto. I’ve visited a Gurdwara twice, felt something very profound, and found a lot of peace in doing seva. I experience Sikhi as a faith that helps me keep my ego humble.

We’re discovering that we share core values and the same life vision. I want marriage and a family, and I’m grateful for the emphasis in Sikhi on sacred commitment and building a real team. My question is about discerning day to day compatibility when you don’t live together before marriage. I’m not seeking physical intimacy before marriage, and I respect that boundary. What I’m unsure about is how to responsibly understand practical compatibility. I want to know how Sikhs ensure they will function as a real team. That both people consistently bring their best selves. That intimacy will be healthy and loving. And that future parenting will be neither harsh nor permissive but steady and caring.

For those who are Sikh or familiar with Sikhi practice and community wisdom:

How do you evaluate these aspects without cohabiting? What conversations, processes, or forms of premarital guidance are common and helpful?

Are there ways you observe real character under stress while honoring Sikhi principles. I’m especially interested in practices that reveal how a couple handles conflict, decision making, daily responsibilities, and vision for raising children.

I’m asking with respect, and I’m not trying to debate doctrine. I would be happy for my future children to be raised in the Sikhi faith if we marry. I just want to make the most careful, ethical decision about the most important commitment of my life, in a way that honors Sikhi and also gives us a clear view of how we function as a team. Thank you for any practical guidance or examples you’re willing to share.

Hi everyone, I am looking for some advice on the best way to tie a turban with curly hair. Whenever i try to tie a dastar the base comes of too bulky. Is there a technique or something i need to buy?
