Whats all this "big boys" nonsense?? One of my associates served with the British Army Parachuters In 1982 Falklands. They now do seva in Gurdwaras rubbing shoulders with regular sangat.. British War Veterans recieve HMS Forces Letters for ROyal Seva all the time with the supposed Highest Layers of Society. They come from all walks of life, rich poor, middle. My line colleague also happens to be a 5 generation Ex HMS Forces having spent time with the Queen outside Tours as far back as 1988. His Son rose to the top cadres of the Special Forces sister arm of SAS from scratch by merit and now participate in providing Private Protection to Corps in Risk zones. Let me tell you something "big boy" these are proud working class footmen who know where they come from and stay in touch with their regulars in the poorest areas proudly. They go back and help the others in the same way Sikhs do seva to help those less fortunate around them. Lads like that do not measure a blokes wallet, your looked at how you walk talk n act. If u put Tycoons like Hinduja in front of em theyd look at him like his pile a poo! Put up James Caan they will shake his hand for doing Seva in generating jobs and business opportunity for the poor level bloke in Britain here and now geez. Empires are made Powerful by laymen coming from all over the pot.. When the laymen exhaust or stop providing, Empires go to nothing. the way EMperor Aurangzeb Mir Mannu Afghan Ruler Abdali Persian Ruler NAdir Shah reduced to dust. Sikhs have risen up from jungles homeless with nothing but clothes on their backs to moving around the World next century. Can you name any other "Big Boy" this or last century who has fought hand to hand battles with Convicts and rough shods at the odds of 1 v 22 in Brixton prison. or 6 v 50 on the Streets of London when those streets were ruled by the NF??. I can name you Two Sikh Families Now well to do, But have the sangat of Rich poor and Middlemen. And their words simply are "Money talks bullsh... walks">. These are Singhs and Monai in same family who are respected by Sangats and white black n all. old school Punjabi Khaddkh mentality has been taken out 4 5 generations ago some nurture and retain asul, some do not and succomb to titleships, but do not mistake the entire diaspora as a weak shaggy poodle. We came to the land of the coloniser and made friends as equals. Now brits are starting to admire Sikhs for their ethos. There is no Snobbery, no bs One Love for all.

I am not writing this to hurt anyone's feelings or offend anyone religious sentiments, but only to emphasize the fact that the history of a community reflects its character, personality, thought process and ideals. The philosophy they abide by reflects in whatever acts they do. In Ramayan, Ram Chander needed Sugreev's help in finding Sita. Sugreev however was already grieving as his kingdom and also consort was taken away by his brother Bali. Ram Chander asked Bali to challenge Sugreev in a wrestling combat and that he would shoot Bali with his arrow while they fought. Eventually, Ram Chander killed Bali while he himself hiding. This is where the Indians learnt the art of fake encounters. Further on, Ram killed Ravan after being assisted by Vibheeshan, who was Ravan's own brother. Those who know about the background of Sant Baba Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale will know that his ancestry was Brar Jatt. Now this has absolutely no significance or place in Gurmat, but lets consider this just for a minute to understand the mentality of our foes. We also know the ethnicity of Gen. K.S. Brar. The Indians played the same game. Just like Ram had Vibheeshan to assist him against Ravan, Indira had Gen. Brar to assist her because she and her lot saw Sant Jee as Ravan. Vibheeshan is condemned the same way by Hindus as Gen. Brar is by the Sikh qaum. In Mahabharat, Dronacharya was killed by Draupadi's brother Drushtadyumman after he heard about the false news of his son Ashwathama's death. Drona was so emotionally shattered that he gave up his weapons and sat in meditation right in the battlefield. Thats when Drushtadyumman beheaded him. Such similar lies were spread in the 80s and 90s to weaken the Jujhaaroo leher and damage the kind of support Singhs were getting from the common masses of Punjab, including Hindus. Black cats in the guise of Singhs were used to terrorize, rape, loot and kill Hindus so as to break that trust which many of the common and often poor Hindus of rural Punjab had in the Singhs. Continuing with Mahabharat, Karan was killed by Arjun as he was fixing the wheel of his chariot. Who provoked Arjun? Krishan did! It was clearly against the rules of war as decided to kill/attack anyone unarmed, but he did it anyways. In India, innocent Sikhs were massacred, unarmed men, women, children and even old people were not spared. Krishna had vowed not to pick up arms in the Mahabharat war, but at one point he did pluck out the wheel from Arjun's chariot and was ready to strike Bheesham. Breaking vows is something that has been followed traditionally by the hill Rajas at the time of Dasmesh Pita ji and more recently by Pandit Nehru. Duryodhan was killed treacherously by Bheem. In gada yudh, you are not supposed to hit the opponent above his thighs, which is what Bheem did. Duryodhan had acquired supernatural powers as per which his entire body had become as hard as steel, except the part above his thighs, which again was Krishan's conspiracy, so that Duryodhan doesn't acquire a 100% steel body. Another example of treachery. Sikhs were hurt in the most brutal way by attacking Sri Darbar Sahib, so that the maximum wound could be afflicted on the entire community and psyche. There are several other examples that are not coming to mind right now. The entire war(s) fought in Ramayan and Mahabharat, except for a handful of few heroic and brave combats, was a total treachery. The "good" side heavily cheated, and the "bad" side was invincible. It is justified to this day that it was fair, because it is fair to "cheat" in order to take down your "bad" opponent. This exact formula was used against Sikhs. Khalistan was/is a "bad" idea, and every method was/is to be put into action to "take down" this "bad" idea. Let me also add, that not all Hindus feel comfortable with the above mentioned events. The ones who are educated, moderate, rational and sane do question them repeatedly. I personally have come across several educated and rational Hindus (both ladies and gentlemen) who go to the extent of claiming Ramayan and Mahabharat to be as unreal stories. Perhaps they find it shameful to accept the above mentioned facts. Do you want to convince a Hindu about Khalistan? Use examples from their own history and explain. If the Jujharoo Singhs were terrorists, then how do they explain Hanuman setting fire to Lanka where innocent civilians also lived? Why do they then so devoutly worship someone who committed an act of terrorism? If avenging the honor of Draupadi was justified by carrying out the "dharam yudh" of Mahabharat where millions perished, then howcome the Jujharoo leher is called terrorism which started after thousands of Sikh girls were brutally gang-raped. Sorry, there cannot be 2 rules that are twisted and used as per the convenience of those in power or those in majority. They need to learn to call a spade a spade. However, the most discouraging and heart-breaking thing which I've come across is that the amount of treachery Indians have learnt from their history is far more, much more than the divine virtues of our Guru Sahibaan, Gurmukh Pyaare Sant Sipahi and Shaheed Singhs we (except a handful of GurSikhs) have managed to imbibe within our soul, character and personality. May Guru Sahib do kirpa and we are blessed to imbibe those divine Gurmat virtues in ourselves. May Guru Sahib also do bakshish on our vichaare non-Sikh brothers and sisters so that they wake up and try to live their life based on the lives of those good-hearted non-Sikh shardhalus of our Guru Sahibaan and other azeez non-Sikh friends of GurSikhs and Shaheeds. Eventually, those who are destined will definitely come into the fold of the Khalsa. Those who are not, may they continue to live noble lives but opposite from the lives of those who lived only to harm Sikhs. Let me also say that I haven't written this to please one set of people and enrage another, NO! I've written what I've had in mind for many years but just felt the time has come to say it out. We need to fully and completely understand where our foes are coming from and what mentality they have. Those non-Sikhs who have respect for Guru Sahibaan, the distinctness of Sikhi and uniqueness of Khalsa Panth, they are always worth embracing. Those who only wish harm, they are the ones with whom we will never make any compromise. Sincere apologies if this hurts anyone, but its a common trend we've been watching and it just had to be exposed. ਮਹਿਤਾਬ ਸਿੰਘ Dec. 24, 2013

What does khalistan have to do with anything here on this topic? Akaal Purakh decides the Direction of the Planet. What do you mean by house of cards?

LOL, you know for some weird reason, I could see this was going to be coming in your next post. By your logic, which suggests being "practical" and teaming up with those you call "big boys", I guess the Puratan Singhs would be "practical" in your opinion if they had embraced Islam? But you know and I know that it never happened. Whether it was 40 fighting 1 million at Chamkaur Sahib, or 2 little kids standing upto Suba Sirhind, they chose not to be "practical". Had they considered the opinion to keep their survival as their top priority or else "get trampled", chances are we would be living very different lives and would be having very different sounding names. Well yes, that suspicion was raised by almost every Sikh that it was more of a "making up to them" sort of ploy. Which is the reason all the more to realize the importance of sovereignty! Just because its not there today, doesn't mean it won't ever be there. No, that is the same weak statement which Wazir Khan and Sucha Nand made in front of the Chhote Sahibzade "join us or get trampled". They chose death and the result is in front of us: Lakhs pay homage to Sikh martyrs at Fatehgarh Sahib on Shaheedi Sabha - http://www.sikhsiyasat.net/2013/12/28/lakhs-pay-homage-to-sikh-martyrs-at-fatehgarh-sahib-on-shaheedi-sabha/ Your opinion isn't wrong I must say, but I am sorry, in view of the kind of history we have had, its unacceptable no matter how attractive of an offer it may be. Abdali had also offered Nawabi to the Singhs, but they refused it outright. Today the times are different, the Singhs are different, but their legacy and heritage still runs in the veins of those who believe in Raj Karega Khalsa. Thanks for reading.

Dear Sangat Ji, this video is one of my favourite simran videos. Although all Simran is the same, some prefer AKJ simran, or slow simran, there are different styles. I really like the simran performed by Bhai Gurpreet Singh Shimla Wale in this video. Please post your favourite simran videos or MP3 links, so we will have the joy of meditating upon Waheguru Ji's name. Also could the administrators please pin this post so that videos or links of Naam Simran are on always on the top.

Its a deity if your relation is all about mehar and based on pure emotion wherein most of the time you are imploring guru to fulfil your wishes. Its a guru (literally - dispeller of darkness) - if you study it , contemplate (sabsai upar gur shabad beechar) on it and try to incorporate the teachings in your day to day lives. Share your thoughts !

Gurfateh ji! Over the years we have seen some amazing posters for camps, kirtan darbaars, youth events, uni sikh soc events, talks, workshops etc. Most of these are made and circulated in one area, and never used again. Our proposal, is very simple; Lets be efficient! Lets reuse some of these amazing posters in different areas. So, if you have made a poster for any event using photoshop could you please send that to us (via a dropbox or other website link) in the photoshop file/or other editing software file so we can: 1) use the poster for events 2) start building up a database of amazing posters which people can use and distribute for free. Amazing posters are the start to an amazing event. Just makes parchaar that bit easier!!! If you have posters which you are willing to share please email them to: 1gseva@gmail.com Dhanvaadh, For English talks and katha: www.1guk.com

Agree with jonny101, its easy to talk with big stomachs full of parshadeh, when the critics can do anything useful for the panth then they can talk, otherwise consider them nothing but hot air and wind, its best to ignore these namards. Bhai Gurbaksh Singh ji does no have to answer to any of these traitors because he has Guru Maharaj ji and the Khalsa Panth with him, how else did he survive for so long with out food ? We should be standing with the Khalsa Panth and Bhai Sahib ji 100% and not pointing fingers or arguing amongst ourselves its time to unite and show solidarity.

A wise man once said: "Foolish men talk of religion in cheap, sentimental words leaning on scriptures "God speaks here, and speaks here alone" Driven by desire for pleasure and power. caught up in ritual they strive to gain heaven but rebirth is the only result of their striving. They are lured by their own desires besotted by the scriptures words, their minds have not been made clear by the practice of naam simrana" That about sums it up for most of the posters.

Point 1: can you give names and the exact quotes before making such out of context statements? Point 2: true btw, Don't be too confident about which direction civilization will go because sometimes over confidence can cause the downfall of civilizations, empires and nations.

He should never have been invited. CHEAP POLITICS. Secondly, he should never have been allowed in with his head uncovered. What health concerns?!! B*stard. And now its all happened, he should be awarded with a haar of jhutiya. And so should the management

Fault of management who invites politicians for such purposes.

Dunno even who he is and dont really care to be honest. He a non-entity why is he even making the Sikh news who shouldn't have been invited.

Why invite an animal like Nitesh who does not know how to behave in a religious place? It is the fault of the Gurdwara committee for inviting politicians in the first place.

With all due respect brother - I strongly disagree. Such a move would rightly be seen by the many as the organisers turning their back on the freedom movement. It would quite likely alienate the 50,000+ that already attend the freedom rally ever year, including myself. We openly want freedom from a false, murderous, genocidal oppressive state - we have nothing to hide, and nothing to gain from denying that. Numbers are going up every year already. There was talk of 80,000+ attending last year. Even if renaming the rally pulled in 1m+, I still wouldn't support such a move. The end does not justify the means

Happy Birthday Singha!

Dhumma suddenly came out of fox hole during the end of bhai sahib fast. Taksal folks need to sort this out and replace him with bhai ram Singh who is in taksal school since his birth.

This is history which can be checked from any source veerji. I didn't compile these facts and make the analogies because of any bitter feelings. But if we compare and contrast those incidents with what has been done with the Sikhs in recent times, there will definitely be a perfect match of strategies and consequences.

Singh sahib Giani raam singh is mr nobody, until recently when the dubious akj uk became best friends and granted him some support for his mukhi ship, Giani Harman singh dhumma was made mukhi in 2005 by some of the Singh's.

Yeah, and also a total lack of education - we do so little to educate our youth on Sikhi nowadays, compared to the other major world religions.

He is drinking only water. They did Ardas for Akhand Path to Maharaj and Hukamnama was NAAL NARAIYAN MEREA || JAMDOOT NA AAWAE NEREA||
