  1. I think you need to step back and put your ego in check @shastarSingh. Referring to Baba Nand Singh Ji with such little respect isn't in your interest. These Mahapursh have contributed to Sikhi in ways we can't put a number to. Inspiring people to follow Sikhi in a genuine way and igniting the joy of bhagati is not an easy task. You can lump all intellectuals gyanis and parcharks on one side and they can never inspire the way a mahapursh Sant mahatma can. Don't take this the wrong way, we need all the intellectuals we can get, but their domain is never going to extend into the realms of these rarest of the rare type mahapurshs. You need approach these panthic matters with more grace. There is a way of offering constructive criticism without insulting. You need to refine these skills before speaking beyond your scope. Also, current Nanaksar as an institution is a complex matter, and also separate from Baba Nand Singh Ji.

  3. Cheley chatray tend to do that to any group, brother. You will see the same issues across the board. But we have to be careful how we approach the regular maintenance that is required without hurting the common sangat. It’s a delicate balance between destroying something and repairing it.

  4. He isn't. But so what if he was? There are a small but growing number of African American and African Sikhs. Maanas ki jaath sabhe ek pechaanbo (recognise all good humanity as One) is particularly relevant on Vaisakhi. Most of our Panj Piare were dark and almost black according to our own Itihaas! This is nonsense. First of all most attacks on Sikhs in the Diaspora are not perpetrated by black people. Granted there is a black underclass in America that is impacted by inter-generational trauma (from slavery and racism) that may have higher than usual rates of mental health issues giving rise to a couple of isolated incidents in Richmond Hill recently. The vast majority of local African Americans have strongly condemned the mentally ill attackers. I am not a fan of Nazi's or White Supremacists that hate Sikhs but we need to acknowledge that in places like New York even those folks are a minority amongst white Americans too. If one clown paid to spread race hate says something we can't generalise from that to attack one billion black African allies who are actually sehajdhari Sikhs if only we educate them as to why as Sikhi is the only faith of Truth that stands for the oppressed (victims of Slavery and racism). Inn gareebo ko deu Patshahi! Sikhi says that the oppressed, the downtrodden, the slaves are higher and closer to God than the biggest Kings of History. Great job bro. Keep doing what you are doing and know that the whole Sangat stand with you + our natural allies.

  5. I had several of our black allies contact me today in regards to the recent incidents. We have a variety of contacts in the ny area and word is getting put out in regards to who we are and to desist in any agression towards Sikhs. They expressed their concern for our well being as well as a desire to create a culture of understanding where Sikhs and Black Folk protect each other in each others areas.

  6. It's been a month of inactivity, got lazy and started sleeping later but was still getting up around 6-7am on some days and sleeping in more on others. Going to get back at it tomorrow to get up at 5. This is probably the hardest routine for me to build but definitely the most rewarding. I truly believe that one who builds this routine automatically wins at life everywhere on all aspects. It's all you need to win life. It's like guru sahib will just give you cheat codes for life and good things will fall into your lap and you won't even know where and how all the good things keep coming from and it becomes a fun game where your totally carefree and stressless and enjoying your time. Spiritually you win, you free your soul eternally and are always at peace and nobody can take that away from you and nothing can break your spirit so you become unconquerable. You win financially with the focus, discipline and energy that comes and,physically if you train you win and it all compounds on top of each other and before you know it you become strong enough to carry and uplift other people in your life and become a force of good in the world and so even the world wins from you winning. Guru Sahib gave us the path to everything so may they also give us the strength to walk and stay the course.

  8. A two-pronged approach is wise: a bit of what I'm suggesting AND a whole lot of yours. We need to start being unapologetically Sikh not just in our little jathe dust-ups (which has always struck me as punching down), but against Muslims, Christians, and others. Sikhs bark against other Sikhs, but meow when Muzzies and Christians arrive on the scene. This needs to change. This interfaith tatti needs to die a sudden death. It's weakened us, not made us stronger.

  9. Not really. Most people fall prey to these guys because they have no confidence/no exposure to Gurmat. Why not address the root of the problem? If we spend our time dogging on other faiths, does that make us any different from these Christians or Muslims for that matter? But Satbachan ji, you guys are right.

This is real power: the ability and the hubris to know you control the narrative of history. Maybe they are God's Chosen People? ?

  16. Certain apnay parents better watch out! Mother, 39, appears in crown court ahead of trial accused of killing her overweight 16-year-old daughter by allowing her to become morbidly obese Kaylea Titford was found dead at her home in Newtown, Powys, Wales in 2020 Her father Alun Titford and mother Sarah Lloyd-Jones are charged with gross negligence manslaughter and allowing the death of a child/vulnerable person They allegedly failed to ensure her dietary needs were met, leading to obesity Judge Rhys Rowlands listed a provisional trial date for January 16 next year A mother has appeared before a crown court judge today accused of causing the death of her disabled teenager by allowing her to become morbidly obese. Sarah Lloyd-Jones, 39, of Newtown, Wales, is charged with the manslaughter by gross negligence of Kaylea Titford, aged 16. Judge Rhys Rowlands at Mold crown court granted her conditional bail until June 30 when she will be expected to enter a plea to the allegation. A trial is set to begin on January 16. Alun Titford, 44, of Newtown, who also faces the charge, had been admitted to a hospital at Shrewsbury on Wednesday evening, defence barrister Simon Rogers told the judge. It is alleged that, between March 24 and October 11 2020, Titford and Lloyd-Jones failed to ensure Kaylea’s dietary needs were met, leading to morbid obesity. They are further accused of failing to ensure she got enough exercise, was in a hygienic condition and had a safe and clean living environment. The charges allege the defendants did not ensure her physical health was maintained and that they failed to seek reasonable medical help for her. The pair were due to enter pleas at Mold Crown Court today, but Titford was unable to attend after being admitted to hospital the previous evening. Judge Rhys Rowlands listed a new plea hearing for June 30, with a provisional trial date of January 16. He called it 'an unusual case'. An earlier inquest heard spina bifida sufferer Kaylea suffered 'multiple medical issues' through her life and was immobile. Kaylea was pronounced dead by paramedics at 8.12am on October 10, 2020, at her home in Newtown, Powys. A medical cause of death was given as 'inflammation and infection in extensive areas of ulceration arising from obesity and it's complications in a girl with spina bifida and hydrocephalus.' Coroner Graeme Hughes adjourned the inquest in Pontypridd, South Wales, until the conclusion of the criminal investigation. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10718631/Mother-appears-crown-court-ahead-trial-accused-killing-overweight-16-year-old-daughter.html

  17. Veera, all I know for a fact is that my grand-dad (who was an orphan) had a lot of help from a mahapurash from this sampardaya, who showed him a lot of kindness and support, when you know a lot of people don't have time for people who are struggling. When I was younger I got influenced by the Singh Sabha lehar quite a bit (through reading) and sort of turned my back on mahapurash that some of my family were affiliated too, because of the lehar's anti-Sant stanch. It took me years to come out of the prison of 'Sikhism' to start to rediscover Sikhi and realise my mistake. I already have guilt for this slight to sants and don't know how I may be punished for this. I don't want to add to this. I think you need to tread carefully too. I said in my last post to you that you seem highly agitated right now, and I know you have certain family issues (like a lot of us) that may be affecting your mindset. Calm down. For your own sake brother. I think we should respect these sampardayas and if Malwa still has some strong resonance and affiliation with Sikhi today, I think they have played a big part.

Anytime this happens you will see the push from liberals to take away the right to possess weapons. I think they are trying as hard as possible to disarm the populace.

  26. Marsha Small, a doctoral student, tells DailyMail.com she discovered 222 sets of child remains at the Chemawa Cemetery north of Salem, Oregon The graves that had markers showed Anglicized names rather than the children's true indigenous names DailyMail.com went to the cemetery and saw several grave markers with 'Anglo' sounding names like, Daniel, Benny, George, Rosie and James 'Obviously a native isn't going to be named Daniel Boone, so how would one start to look for their ancestors if the names are incorrect?' Small said 'It was an atrocity for the United States to take away these children's native names so their parents and ancestors could never find them,' Small added She said there could well be several unmarked indigenous bodies buried there The Chemawa School opened in 1880 originally as an elementary school for both boys and girls, becoming a fully accredited high school in 1927 Today the school is open for 9-12 graders and has approximately 425 students, primarily from the tribes of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9791963/Graves-Native-American-children-discovered-Oregon-Anglicized-names.html

Member may discuss about former Jatehdars but we will not allow anyone to talk negative of any current Jathedars. **Asking questions for educational reasons is allowed but all posts must be approved by the moderator in that topic. GENERAL RULES While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts. Our decision is final in these matters. Refrain yourself from writing any derogatory comments on any religion. Any particular practice of a religion can be questioned but must be done so in a respectful and non-offensive manner. Please refrain from posting meaningless threads, one word (or short) non-sense posts, or such. Multiple or repeated posting in order to increase your post count is not allowed. Use the search function before posting. Chances are your question has already been answered. Advertising, spamming and trolling is not allowed. This includes using the forum email and Private message system to spam other members. Discussion of illegal activities such as software and music piracy and other intellectual property violations are not allowed. Each member is allowed one login account. Registering with multiple accounts is not allowed. We reserve the right to remove offensive posts without notice. We also reserve the right to ban anyone who willfully violates the forum rules. Use a title that describes the content of your post. Don't use all caps or special characters to draw attention. Also while these rules cover most common situations, they cannot anticipate everything. Consequently we reserve the right to take any actions we deem appropriate to ensure these forums are not disrupted or abused in any way. Private Messages received on these Forums are to be considered private and are not to be posted publicly unless the sender of the private message agrees. Also Participant shall not post messages containing personal phone numbers or addresses. Do not post messages that advocate harm or death to anyone, threaten the livelihood of anyone, or otherwise harass anyone. Do not send email, snail mail, phone, fax, or other messages to anyone if your intent is to threaten or harass, and do not encourage others to do the same. Do not take your disagreements off the message board and into the "real world," and do not do anything to try to harm or harass any member of this message board in the "real world." Stay on topic. Don't jump into an unrelated discussion and introduce a barely-relevant tangent in order to bring up your pet issue. Do not spam the message board. When discussing race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or religion, please exercise the appropriate level of sensitivity toward others and take extra care to clearly express your point of view. This will help avoid misunderstandings and undeserved accusations of bigotry. People who repeatedly and willfully break the rules, or who generally engage in rude, antisocial behavior, will be banned. It doesn't matter if you are a progressive or a long-term member of this board. Not responding to or ignoring moderator warnings can lead to suspension. We reserve the right to ban/suspend anyone for any reason, and to delete any post for any reason. Any threat or personal attack on any sewadar will result in direct ban.

Unsolicited advertisement links and Spammers will be banned immediately and all spam deleted on spot. Abusive and inactive accounts may be removed at moderators consent without any prior notice, to reduce database load. OTHER RULES ==================== BRINKERS = NOT ALLOWED I'm within the rules. Some users find sport in seeing how close they can get to being thrown off a message board. The Admins/sewadars will often have a set of rules (typically known as the "Terms of Service" like this one) which specify how people should conduct themselves. One type of poster, a "brinker", attempts to get as near to the edge as he or she possibly can without actually going over. Unlike the troll, who directs his or her efforts at the users of a system, the brinker is actually toying with the SikhSangat. He or she can be a thorn in the side of the administrator, holding the good name and popularity of the system at stake. Administrators hesitate to throw people off the system unless they have broken an explicit rule. LANGUAGE Although we do our best to cater for all, we do have certain limitations on SikhSangat. Language is one of them because you will notice the vast majority of posts are in English which has a universal base as it is one of the most used languages in the world. Communication is a problem in this world. It is one of the main causes for World Wars and poverty as well as in divorces and so on. And having taken these points into consideration, SikhSangat would like to request to all Sangat to please use English language to your advantage and post on this forum with language that every other member can understand. We all use slang language in our day to day speaking, but the advantage of this being a forum, means you can think longer about what you want to say with more time to express it. Extreme use of slang language is confusing to many members on this forum and will no longer be tolerated by moderators. Members can use Punjabi language in their posts. We will allow slang to a certain extent but SikhSangat reserve the right to choose the level allowed and will from hereon be moderating certain members more closely. ADVERTISING We do not allow people to post threads or to send private messages or emails to users here that advertise or solicit any services. Explicit advertising in sigs is also prohibited. Advertising, spamming and trolling is not allowed. This includes using the forum email and Private message system to spam other members.

MODERATORS & YOU Treat all moderators with respect. Do not post messages attacking the moderators or administrators. All of the moderators on this discussion board are volunteers. They provide their time and their good judgment to this website free of charge. They do not make the rules; they only enforce the rules. They do not deserve to have scorn heaped upon them either publicly or privately. Anyone attacking moderation will earn a BAN without any warning. Please be aware that moderators are not expected to be online all the time, and therefore they cannot respond immediately to every problem that arises on this discussion board. If you send an alert or complaint to a moderator, please give that moderator sufficient time to respond. Do not assume that a moderator is ignoring your concerns merely because he or she does not respond as quickly as you would like. When a moderator enforces the message board rules, members are expected to respect their authority and abide by their decisions. If you disagree with a moderator's decision, you are encouraged to politely explain why you disagree. Do not send rude, dismissive, or disrespectful responses to the moderators. If you think a moderator has acted inappropriately, please contact the administrators privately at SikhSangat@live.com, so we can deal with it. Do not publicly post private messages you receive from moderators and administrators. ADMINISTRATORS & YOU If you have any questions about the rules of this message board, please contact the website administrators by sending an email to sikhsangat@live.com. Occasionally, the administrators of this website will make decisions that are not popular. That is life. We have given up trying to make everyone happy, because it is simply not possible. Messages posted on our discussion board are the opinions of the individuals who post them, and do not necessarily represent the opinions of SikhSangat.com. iscuss the message, not the messenger
