welcome to the forum , well depends on how religous he was, Sikhs are taught to meditate and connect to God while alive and also that the soul is eternal and will never die basically Sikhs dont believe in a matirial heaven or hell the reason being that if matirial things dont make one happy in this life how would they in the afterlife to a Sikh hell is living a life separated from God and heaven is living a life in service to God and humanity but when a Sikh dies it is proper to wish the widower that her husband find his eternal place in the arms of God and a card would be sweet maybe just let her know ur there oh and by the way i think its super sweet that you took the effort to come on this forum and find out in order to help another person its a wonderful gesture and judging by it u must be a very sympathetic person of a good heart which is hard to find these days. many blessings always

Where is the link? Majority of Dharmi Faujis/their families got given jobs at SGPC not direct pensions. Others who doubt Khalsa Aid's intentions, go ask the donors who have handed the money over to needy families by hand (as Khalsa Aid always encourage) or ask the 80+ families of the shaheed/jailed singhs parivaars who are being supported on a monthly basis, whether Khalsa Aid is supporting them or not.

The AISSF (Peermohammad) has submitted a memorandum to Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Gurbachan Singh asking him to call a call Sarbat Khalsa to determine if Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal deserved to be given the Panth Ratan award. The federation said only a non-controversial personality deserved the award. “Only a non-controversial personality deserves the prestigious Panth Ratan and not a controversial and political personality like Badal. Badal's nomination for Panth Ratan has divided the Sikhs across the world,” the memorandum said. The federation alleged that Badal had patronised the Nirankaris in the 70s and Dera Sacha Sauda later. It said in 1984, thousands of Sikh soldiers had deserted the Army on a call given by Badal and several hundred were killed. These Sikh soldiers were later abandoned. They were not rehabilitated though Badal had been CM twice since then. In 1997 Badal had won the elections on the promise of prosecuting police officials responsible for killing Sikhs during 1984-1997. However, he did not keep his promise, the federation said. It also said thgat recently Badal had welcomed BJP leader LK Advani who had supported the military action on Harmandar Sahib in June 1984.

The Naujawan Academy is made up of volunteers from all walks of life, many are children and students and just people who are interested in helping their community. These people donate their time and effort into helping young people progress in various ways. Many of our members are ex-students and youth who have had problems and want to help others who are going through similar problems. The Sikh Naujawan Academy realised that there was an increase in Sikh youth problems, so the organisation decided to setup a Sikh Helpline where kids could phone and talk anonymously about any personal problems they might be having. Sikh Help Line successfully managed to help in many cases and even helped to resolve problems some youths were having at school. The future success of our community depends on one precious resource - our children. Over the years, Sikh youth have been experiencing a host of problems ranging from addictions to bullying in schools. Sikh Help Line was established to address these pressing issues and there have been many success stories todate. In addition to the Help Line, other Sikh Naujawan Academy activities include: Youth Camps Sports Music / Movies Computer Appreciation Awareness Seminars Education School Liasing
