Being on youtube I have not come across hardly any Sikh parchaar videos. We Are the fifth biggest religion in the world. Yet there are hardly any youtube channels or videos explaining what Sikhs or Sikhism is about. Especially videos in plain english. We need a basic video teaching what a sikh is. The symbols. A interesting history video about Sikhs. Think about it. We have a great platform to reach billions of viewers. It does not cost anything to post a video and not a huge amount of resources. What you need. A camera a tripod ability to talk a little about Sikhi. And then people will have access to what Sikhism is abou…

Author: harmanpreet Singh Date: 02-27-04 05:39 Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! There are a couple of documentaries about our community currently being made that I thought my brothers and sisters on this message board would like to know about. But before the details on those, a few thoughts on Gursikhs and filmmaking. As a community, do we hate movies or feel that they're wrong? I'm not talking specific movies, but the medium itself. Is it just me, or do other people also get the sense we have some underlying issues with film? It seems like many of us have taken the abundance of bad examples as reason to dismiss the entire artform as something c…

waheguru ji ka khalsa wahguru ji ke fateh Pyare jio, this is linked to the white/sikh couple thread, but as it slightly out of topic I have started a new thread. An amritdhari can only marry an amritdhari, we all accept this. What non-amritdharries do is purely their chioce, and as such the world spins in Maya. But often many punjabi sikhs, say only sikhs can marry sikhs, but when they actually mean behind the spin is only punjabis can marry punjabis. They think this is because punjabies can preserve thier culture. Let me share a story, that I saw. In slough, there is a nice elderly bibi who does langar de seva day in day out as happens in most gurdwaras. She had…

2nd Interview with Sikh Unit on 9th September 2007 @ Hackney Fields estate! Its being 2 months since your 3rd mix tape hit the streets, what impact has it had? "Yo I think the youth loved it, from the feedback we been getting, mainly Sikhs from the poorer backgrounds and those who have seen reality and what da streets r about appreciate it. Youths that have been victims of attacks, know da deal, and understand where we r coming from. The silver-spoon Sikhs didn't like it; their reason was we glorify guns. Never have we said get a gun and rob, or commit crime wid it. But we say there's nothing wrong with defending yourself that's a natural instinct. Guru Gobind Singh J…

Like, someone on this forum said to me to read The art of warfare by Sun Tzu...... The next day someone i know in school had this book in his bag... I was searching a inspirational article how a punjabi village of hindus converted to sikhism which i had read some months prior to it... i found it... but next week i found it in the newspaper the sikh times... Also i had read a atheists who bashes all religions view on sikhi.. some months later i wanted to re-read it... after hours of searching i found it... (maybe last week i think)... and guess …

i know there is a topic about hindusikh so i went on it and found it disgusting. there are a few (2) people that are on the site that do encourage the truth but 2 people arent enough, i want too have this site shut down but i dont no how? or even if its possible. i think that as many people as possible should join this site and defend the truth as they are saying rediculous things about the panth as shiv made the kakkars and inspired desmesh pita too make them mandatory kakkars for the panth. thank you bhull chuk maaf waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fathe!

................................................................................ .... One day I decided to quit...I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality...I wanted to quit my life. I went to the woods to have one last talk with God. "God", I said. "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"His answer surprised me... "Look around", He said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?" "Yes", I replied. "When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them.I gave them light. I gave them water.The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed.But I did not quit on the bam…

back then was waaaay different. ppl didn’t attend higher education or have much to do after the age of like… 13, lol. you’d have 13 year olds boys and girls that know how to do kethi, cook entire meals, etc nowadays even 22 year olds are extremely immature and can be sheltered. the average person doesn’t know how to do anything except their 9-5 which they are probably half arsing as well. -
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.
