people who break their amrit should we stop speaking to them ?

No Ji show them love... they will need support and the reason they must have broken it maybe eating them up.
Be there for them and show them love and compassion. Daya in these times is important and will help us to grow spiritually.
However if it is bringing off your path then reconsider the situation and listen to what your inside is saying Ji.

if GGS is god's divine words himself and looks after the Sikhs why can't he allow Sikhs to have a prosperous future in making the whole world Sikhs and singing his praises. Why are Sikhs usually ones attacked by Waheguru is it because the bad state of our panth or his hukam?

Example of 1984 will be used to answer this question Ji.

So this game and what happens in it is truly beyond me. However look at it in this way... look at how many Singhs and Singhni have been blessed with Amrit. The way we look at situations will define how we see gurus game.
2 men are walking past each other during the early hours about 1am... they cross over and look at one another and then carry on. One man looks at the other and thinks he's just robbed someone's house like I have. The other man looks and thinks vah (wow) he's gotten up to go Amrit vela and Singh the gurus praises.

are there restrictions on Sikh women's dress code

Vjkk, Vjkfateh,
This path is thinner than a strand of hair sharper then the edge of a sword. Singhni and Singhs should dress humbly as we should when we approach SGGS Ji. Guru Nanak used to say you can be found amongst the lowly... the lowly dress humbly.
Remember the words of Guru Gobind Singh Ji 'until the Khalsa remains distinct, I will give them all my power & radiance'.

Can you explain waheguru's hukam and how the world works according to him. None of us will never know his full hukam but i question a lot on why he lets such terrible stuff like 1984 to happen. We are thrown like a marble in this world to connect back to him but why does he make such obstacles?

Do sikhs believe in the aquarian age and does this exist

Sikhs just believe in the guru... dont worry about other things.
Baba Isher Singh Rara sahib wale would say we have only come on this world to jap naam. What else do we need to know? when someone who is connected to vaheguru came back to the world to tell us the truth.

Is sex without wanting to procreate after marriage ok.

Contraception in sikhi isn't something we would suggest as the reason for sex is for conception. Therefore with every consequence there is a result... in the case of contraception which actually reduces the chance of conception (have chance it can fail) but this can also lead to lustful thoughts and therefore our desires becoming uncontrollable as we have given into them.
Siri Guru Dasam Granth:
when I came to a mature age my guru told me; son, remember these teachings for the rest of your life; love and care for you wife daily, but never even in your dreams go into the bed of another woman. those that have sexual relation with someone other than their spouse, they die the death of a dog.
From the above we can learn that when a sikh comes to the age for marriage and marrys; that either partner will be with you for the rest of your life. Therefore it is not paap to have sexual relations with your wife if you have lustful desires as there is a special relationship formed between man and women explained in the Lavaa bani. If we suppress these thoughts to such a degree then it can lead to frustration and anger which then can affect a marriage. Also the suppression of lust in one or both of the partners in the relationship lead to thoughts & dreams of other men/women which Guru Teg Bahadur in the above bani said those who do this will die the death of a dog.
We however want to get to the stage where we can control our lust as this energy is powerful can be used for simran. We want to change this Kaam to Naam.
so girehee jo nigrehu karai ( he alone is a householder who restrains his passions) so our guru wants us to control our senses and desires and thats how we can go deeper within and find the true guru.
To implement this then we need to do it in a way which we can handle. For example if you have sexual intercourse 3 times a week then slowly cut it down to 2 times after a week or two etc. Until you can handle without it.

Can you teach us about gur harkrishan maharaj? All I know about maharaj is that he selflessly served in dehli= the importance of seva but what was his contribution to the enhancing of sikhi? Eg gurdware, bani, projects, other stories etc. bul chuk, but feel like my knowledge of maharaj is lacking

I can't seem to connect to vaheguru, I try and listen to nitnem every so often and do naam, but still nothing....how should I connect?

you can see why from your question....
we need to be committed to the guru and want only then and their love... then we can connect to them.
It's like when we revise for exams... we need to be persistent if we can't remember something until we do. Be persistent and consistent with your nitnem and simran.

WJKK WJKF Not a question chote veer ji. Just a word of thanks. I am 56, a grandfather born and brought up in England and until I discovered your channel I was lost and floundering around looking for somewhere I could truly discover the path to Sikhi. You have given me a start! I thank you.

Is it wrong to believe in Nirankari baba's? What is the Sikhi perspective?

As sikh we don't believe in a living guru. We were given the hukam... guru manayo granth.
We know SGGS Ji to be the true guru.

VJKK VJKF I have heard a lot about the AKJ and how they have helped Sikhs to connect with god however I've seen a video of them doing simran Jaan and it's something very unnatural! I am no one to judge however I thought simran jaap was peaceful and quiet how can one connect with god with noise?

Vjkk vjkfateh.
Its all about Ekta (oneness)... if they can connect through it then let them Ji.
I like the fast beat simran sometimes as well.

Wjkwjf !My mind keep disturbing me everytime. when i was small i was sexual abuse by my cousin brother once. And i didn't told this to anyone till today include my parents. I always ask waheguru why i went through like and its hard for me. But time pass by i'm starting to follow gurus path till 2day

Vjkk vjkfateh.
I have no life experience on this but with gurus kirpa I will try to write from gurbani Ji.
Ang 1389:
Lust, anger, egotism, jealousy and desires are eliminated by chanting the Name of Lord.
From the above guru Ji has told us that by chanting vahegurus name he will remove anger from our lives? but we need to first understand that we need to prepare ourselves for this.... we need to be willing to give up everything we have to the guru so that he makes us one with him. Anger we feel is down to the ego as our ego feels that we have been hurt.
In this case anger felt towards the Individual needs to be dealt with by either speaking to them but if you feel you can't speaking to someone you have trust with I.e. a friend or family memeber. I say this because why suffer in silence there are also organisations like SOPW, kourageous kaurs & sikhelpline which are available to aid us in times of need.
Next we need to understand that the gurus game is beyond what we are thinking of what we can see. We can only understand what has happened to us in this life and even in this life we only truly know what has happened in the past... we can't even be sure about the future. The guru knows exactly what has happened in our previous lives and what is in store for us in our future.
I want to finish off on dukh Daroo Sukh rog paaio.... pain is the medicine because wherever there is pleasure there is no desire for the guru. We don't know why the guru plays such games with us but remember this all that he does is for own good.... all that happens is for us to grow if we can't see it in the immediate future. Who knows if you would even be into sikhi if the guru didn't play that game so you could fall into his arms.
bul chuk mark karne & I hope that helped.

Do we believe in a personal god ie god actually cares for people personally etc? Surely we just accept the infinite creative force and experience the oness of his creation rather than having a belief that he is there for us

Guru Gobind singh Ji knew the name if each individual sikh who gave shaheed and as the gurus where the reflection of the infinite form of vaheguru on the world then this suggests that vaheguru knows the soul as well as the vessel it has entered.
We will never be able to understand vahegurus limits till we merge back into him like a sant has.
Baba Nand Singh Ji Nanaksar wale used to say never give up your nitnem Singhno its like giving your arm to guru Nanak. This all suggests a intimate relationship is possible.

What's with focusing on diff chakras while doing Vaheguru Simran ? Wa - navel He - heart Gu - throat Ru - third eye What happens if one just focuses on the third eye ?

DW about that.... just literally do simran and vaheguru will do what he wants to you when your ready... sikhis not about trying to activate them because what can a wooden puppet do? its all vaheguru who activities these experiences within us.

Is it true that SGGS says you can be reincarnated as stone. Sure this cannot be true as stone is not a living entity

yep... stones are formed of atoms and vaheguru has poured himself into all of his creation.
Ghosts aren't true living entities but we can still be reincarnated into them I.e. if we apply science to the physiology of ghosts then they can't breathe; therefore not living.
Gurus game has no limit so we shouldn't try to bring it down to our levels of thought.
