Today was the first event for this years SYCC Youth Forum based at smethwick gurdwara birmingham... see http://www.boss-uk.org for details. The basic format for this is that every week or fortnight as it is this yr, an event is held on wednesday afternoon, the event is aimed at teenagers aged 16-19 giving them the chance to express their views within their own age group. There is usually presentations on the topic given by the singhs, followed by group discussion or activity... ends with samose and j2o's! Last year there would be a regular attendance of 100 teenagers, both girls and boys, the majority from a non-practicing background. In fact usually the only singhs i…

vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh dear sangat ji With great regret the so called leaders in Punjab are so blind and stupid. The sgpcwale was going to except at presentation from the Darshan dassi cult from the uk. This cult has been degrading Guru Ji and Sikhi. There are 2 great Gursikhs who are serving life in prison because they couldn¡¦t hear the slandering and disrespect of Guru ji and Sikhi.. On the 11th November 1987 Bhai Manjit Singh and Bhai Rajinder Singh brought this pakhandi guru to book and pumped their bullets into him showing him to be a fake. These Gursikhs are soo chardi kala they have not changed one bit. They could easily say sorry and …

As I read some history of last 300 years I learned that there have been many ups and downs in Sikhi. many times came when every single child was willing to sacrifice his life for Sikhi. these movements are so inspiring. So I just thought if I had the choice to live my life as a Sikh within last 300 years which would it be? which movement? right now, Sikhi is being attacked from all directions and our "halat" is not good at all. so which time or year would you pick? would it be 18th century, during khalsa raj, singh sabha, Gurdwara Lehar (jaito morcha etc), gadree Babas, Punjabi sooba, 1978-84 or 2005? please please pick something but after 1708. please post your response.…

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!!! Sadh Sangat Ji, today at the library in edmonton, there was a "meditation class" held by representatives of Sant Thakar Singh(Not Damdami Taksal Wale) In the first half of the "Class" it seemed really good...a few odd things but over all it seemed ok...me and a few Gursikhs attended this class where a lady talked about how important naam is n used alot of quotes in from gurbani. It Seemed like a perfectly normal gursikhi simran class...we were WRONG. Right b4 a break the instructor said we'd be learning meditation for an hour and a half. we were all pretty excited, simran for that long! During the break we asked the instruc…

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh Dear SikhSangat I have been thinking of Castes within Sikhi for a while and would like your opinion on this subject. Although we are taught that Sikhi has no castes within it and all are equal in front of WaheGuru.Why then as many of us do , convince ourselves that we each belong to a better Caste than the other.The Castes in question are Jatt and Bhatt. As we all know there are many Sikh Forums on the net and if one broweses through them one will see that there is so much bad mouthing and hatred going on in the name of theese castes.Why?

You are you and you are nothing else but you I am who I am and that is that If you want to know the infinity, know the finite first, know yourself Kindness, forgiveness and righteousness are the tripod on which rests the God-conscious of the being The truth of self-surrender is to give yourself to God As a human, the only weapon you have is kindness You have two enemies, fear and duality, say ‘NO’ That’s it You have to be You. Nothing less than you will work. You minus ego is always you. Make your temple clean, Make your heart open with love so he can come and sit in it. You should make yourself so happy, that by looking at you, other people become happy Wisdom…

I have been wondering about this for some time now. Bhangra and Giddha are part of Punjabi culture. Although Punjabi culture is not pro-Sikhi but it cannot be called anti-sikhi either. Not everything can be categorized as pro or anti sikhi. Some things just don't fit in. I have heard from so many Sikhs that bhangra and giddha are anti-sikhi but how? I know it is not pro-sikhi but how is it anti-sikhi?When a person does pesh to Panj Pyare, he/she tells all the kurehats or mistakes he/she made but bhangra or giddha is never mentioned. If an amrithdhari person does pesh to Panj Pyare for doing bhangra or giddha, would he get any punishment? has it ever happened? I am not t…

Yeah Dhadi and Kaweshria are known for joking around now and then. -
Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
