Read the comments as well, it gives me hope and reaffirms that there is something universal that connects us all deep inside - it proves that we're all lost beings until we recognize who we are and what hurdles separate us from realizing ourselves. Waheguru. I bow down to this fearless Kaur and her reply.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh This Singh has been doing a lot of hard work and has sacrificed a lot of time, effort and money to make these videos. It's not easy to make these videos at all, we watch it and just play it off without understanding how much work goes into them. These videos have done a lot of good in the short collective 40,000 views that BasicsOfSikhi channel has got in all the videos. If you look at their facebook page a lot of people who either wanted to know more about Sikhi or found Sikhi by his videos show their love and appreciation. We all are young and know the various hurdles we take for even doing basic things such as keeping our kesh and then taking Khade Bate Da Amrit. Often Sikhs, especially new Sikhs, face psychological pressures from family, relatives and backwards Punjabi community. If we see someone like the Singh who makes the BasicsOfSikhi videos it's easy to dissociate ourselves from the struggles he has gone through in making the actual videos and not pay a seconds thought to it. I don't doubt he probably went through pressures from family, relatives and friends telling him not to do it because I know if I were to do the same thing that he is doing, I would face similar hurdles and problems. He has taken the step that many of us secretly wanted to do and he is doing it really well, from now on out his videos will only IMPROVE with the support and love from the Guru's Sangat. The videos are already amazing, but with support they will inevitably become better and better. Often we say we need more Sikhs or more Sikhs dedicating time to Sikhi, well there are many who do and the Singh has done a fair share of sewa and continues to do so, we just don't recognize it. The very basic we can do is share his videos on twitter, facebook or simply show our families and friends in person or via email. It's easy to criticize and find fault, but it's hard to accept and help. Even if you know what the Singh is talking about, it's the job of the GurSikh sangat to promote these basics that talk about Sikhi so people who may not know as much as others will have an opportunity to see this great parchar done in English. Benti, please show your appreciation and support for such Sikhi parchar by supporting these videos by subscribing to the channel and like, favorite and share the videos in whatever means possible. BasicsOfSikhi YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.c...r/basicsofsikhi BasicsOfSikhi Facebook profile and group page: https://www.facebook.../basicsof.sikhi https://www.facebook.../basicsofsikhi/ A few of Bhai Sahib's videos about Sikhi:

The reason can be the fact that this was in the days of the birth of Hindu extremism. Sant Ji cleared up all points, otherwise Hindu extremists would have been able to (still are) say that doing aarti with lamps means that Sikhs are Hindus. Shame many Sikhs don't take a lesson from Sant Ji.

It is the Daily Mail... they might not even have their facts right!

I think this sorry excuse of a Sikh has shown his true views in this video. Sangat in the UK needs to be aware of him and spread the word about him and his anti Sikh organization.

The kirpan should be a certain size, what can a 3-inch Kirpan do in a life and death situation. As well as a spiritual it has a physical purpose. All Sikhs are sants and sipaihs.

Taking things out of contect is not good, one line quotes need to be seen in the context that they were written in. What I've learnt is do not knock any faith, keep to your own path, give your hand to your guru, eyes closed and just keep walkin' :wink2:

Waheguru. Thank you sharing this info paaji, you just reminded me of how great Maharaj is! (Not that i ever forget, just that i'm constantly amazed). I logged on this morning with intention of posting the question to find out what resources (websites, books etc.) are good for non-Sikhs or early converts to learn about "true" Gursikhi? I have a couple of friends who feels that after learning some of the wonderful aspects of Gursikhi, would like to learn more and see how they can start their journey as a Sikh... Maybe the Sangat Ji could offer some other links and names of books that have inspired them to learn more about Sikhi?

His videos are great

Finally you post something good Paaji, you've highlighted an issue that we need to do something about so on behalf of SikhSangat i would like to thank you! Keep it up! But it leaves me wondering...are you "Singh 4"... Hahaha!! :lol2: Sorry if i offended you Consciousness Veer Ji, I mean no harm!

Many Panthic Singhs(Bhai Ajnala, Mann, Daduwal, Bittu etc) from all over Punjab were also arrested during the strike relating to Bhai Rajoana a few months ago in Punjab. At the time, even Wassan Singh Zafferwal was arrested even though he is no longer active in Sikh affairs. These men were picked up by the police for no reason. The excuse the police gave was that it is a preventive measure. Many of us may not know this, the Punjab government is very active in keeping intelligence in Punjab. I have a relative who is a sarpanch in a village near Amritsar, he tells me that every now and then, he will receive phone calls from the CID asking him info about certain people in the village who are potentially Panthic minded. Surprisingly when Panthic Singhs from all over Punjab were picked up during the Rajoana strike a few months ago, it is worth noting that Baba Harnam Singh Dhuma and some other prominent Sants(Baba Hari Singh Randhawa) who have links with the Akalis were not arrested, while Panthic Sants like Daduwal were arrested and let go only after Singhs cooled down.

^^^ Good idea! We need to follow the American Presidential model in that respect, by this I mean only giving incumbents a limited period so that fresh blood comes in after x amount of years. You know our lot, once they get it, you have to murder them to get them out.

As someone who doesn't live in the UK or Canada, and never have having heard about this "grooming" problem with Sikh Girls I will offer an outsiders perspective. Judging strictly from these stories that I have heard on here, I would have to agree with Kaljugi and West London Singh. I wouldn't call girls who get caught up in this retarded, just lacking common sense and yes, as Kaljugi said, they seem pretty hungry for You-know-what. Most people would have the sense to not, first of all, get involved with men who are 10,15,20 years older than them, and second of all, leave when they are getting taken advantage of. Sad thing going on here.

I've never joined in with the bashing of Sikh females who get themselves into these kind of situations, but you're right. Most of the time, without wishing to sound vulgar, they are hungry for you-know-what. The last thing on their minds is their faith when things are getting hot and heavy with 'Mo'.

None of that makes other people look extraordinarly bad. It just shows that our girls are extraordinarly thick, simple, gullible and mentally retarded compared to other girls.
