  1. After hundreds of creative hours, the talented team at SikhNet has launched an interactive video game designed to appeal to, and inspire Punjabi and Sikh youth around the world. “Karma Game - The Ogre’s Curse” is a decision-making adventure game that teaches spiritual values and Punjabi culture. It is illustrated and narrated with the same high quality expected from commercial video games. The Karma Game does not boast of blood, guts, and gore like many top selling video games, but does promise a fascinating and positive storyline in a completely captivating environment. This is the first video game of its type, and is destined to be an enduring hit. SikhNet expects 300,000 players in the first month. The game is set in an old-style Punjabi village, with entertaining graphics that allow the player to roam and explore the environment. In the game, the player learns to communicate with others, to meditate, to be of service to the community, to defend the weak and poor, and to face the challenges of life with courage and conviction. Not only is the message positive and important, it is delivered in the modern and irresistibly attractive SikhNet style that speaks directly to the youth. Karma Game was the inspiration and invention of Guruka Singh Khalsa and Gurumustuk Singh Khalsa, the leaders of SikhNet. Before returning to SikhNet as its C.E.O., Guruka Singh was a Senior Producer for a major entertainment software company. “Creating a values-driven Sikh game has been a personal goal of mine for a long time”, says Guruka. “Young people spend an average of 7 hours each day engrossed in entertainment media, and I feel it is important to give them some positive alternatives. Karma Game embodies enduring and universal spiritual values and makes them understandable and accessible to youth everywhere. I am very excited about the game, and grateful to everyone who contributed to this massive effort.” SikhNet created Karma Game exclusively through the efforts of volunteers and charitable donations. It is available for all ages free of charge. Donations to offset the expenses of creating the game are gratefully accepted through the SikhNet site.

  2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xg5Qhg-0MAQ&feature=g-vrec It is never too early to start your kids into sikhi. These kids make me feel proud of them and their parents and ashamed of myself that I don't do enough for sikhi.

  3. Great programme (from the bits I saw). Amrik Singh's dedication to the cause is admirable, and the way he and Dabinderjit Singh explained the change in focus of SFUK to one working for the longer-term benefit of Sikhs through lobbying and building relationships with politicians, is important for its strategic foresight. We need to continue to work to build the lobby stronger and influencing policy in its formative stages.

  4. i wish to see sikh spring but looking at the decline of practicing sikhs in punjab is certainly blocking us to achieve anything good in punjab.

  5. While there is space on the gurdwarra floor, there is 100% no reason these sikhs should be out on the street. It does not matter if people think they are ruining the look or experience of the gurdwarra. Would people prefer them sleeping out in the rain and the cold? The selfishness of sikhs these days absolutely astounds me. The Gurus preached selfless service to the downtrodden- the Gurdwarra committees should hang their heads in shame. What of all of the space in Havelock Rd gurdwarra? We have become no better than rich kings selfishly keeping our palaces while we look down on the beggars below and do nothing.

  7. The rakhri is a sign that a women can't protect herself. Satguru Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji Maharaj lifted the women up from being subordinate to the man. Shastar are given to the Singhs and Kaurs. Satguru Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji Maharaj is Sri Vaheguru ji Maharaj from day one. Satguru was at the young age of 9 when he rejected the sacred thread of the higher caste of the Hindus. Satguru Sri Guru Har Krishan Sahib ji Maharaj became Guru at the age of 5. There is no age limit to when Sri Vaheguru Ji Maharaj blessed Satguru Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji Maharaj with his Saroop. Gurbani tells us Satguru was blessed from day one.

  9. Thank you all for your replies. It has been a great help speaking to those who understand this a whole lot better than I do. Below, you'll see a picture of my friend, Narogen. We held a vigil for him outside his store today, and completely closed 2 roads in the process - more than 600 people turned up. Thank you again, and may you all have peace. In memory, Narogen Singh (1949-2011) "Sitting down, standing up, while sleeping or awake with each morsel of food, and every breath I never forget You." [sri Guru Granth Sahib, 378]
