Guys you shouldn't depend on Committee's for doing Seva or Prachaar. Just be a Gursikh (word & deed) that in itself is best prachaar. During my stay in London, it came to my notice that born & bred brits hardly help in daily Seva. Hoover, mopping, dish wasing, preparing langar and other daily chores were done by people of Indian origin. There is no Shabad Chownki at the time of Sukhaasan where Sikhs can come together and sing Shabads out of love not for fame or money. Gurbani clearly states that ਗਿਆਨੁ ਨ ਗਲੀਈ ਢੂਢੀਐ ਕਥਨਾ ਕਰੜਾ ਸਾਰੁ ॥ Giaan N Galeeee Dtoodteeai Kathhanaa Kararraa Saar || गिआनु न गलीई ढूढीऐ कथना करड़ा सारु ॥ Wisdom cannot be found through mere words. To explain it is as hard as iron. 9 ਆਸਾ ਕੀ ਵਾਰ: (ਮ: ੧) ਗੁਰੂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ : ਅੰਗ ੪੬੫ ਪੰ. ੧ Raag Asa Guru Nanak Dev Page:465 Line: 1 ਕਰਮਿ ਮਿਲੈ ਤਾ ਪਾਈਐ ਹੋਰ ਹਿਕਮਤਿ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਖੁਆਰੁ ॥੨॥ Karam Milai Thaa Paaeeai Hor Hikamath Hukam Khuaar ||2|| करमि मिलै ता पाईऐ होर हिकमति हुकमु खुआरु ॥२॥ When the Lord bestows His Grace, then alone it is received; other tricks and orders are useless. ||2|| 10 ਆਸਾ ਕੀ ਵਾਰ: (ਮ: ੧) ਗੁਰੂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ : ਅੰਗ ੪੬੫ ਪੰ. ੧ Raag Asa Guru Nanak Dev Page:465 Line: 1 So what Seva & Prachaar are we talking about ! Lastly if you feel no compassion for lowly & needy in your local community then you should gear up for another London riot & looting.

ISLAMABAD: As part of peace efforts to promote cordial relations between the two neighbouring countries, Pakistan has presented a fresh proposal to India to build a bridge at the Ravi River to connect two Gurudwaras of the Sikh community located in Narowal (Pakistan) and Batala (India), sources told The News here on Saturday. They said Federal Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal is the driving force behind this proposal who approached Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and convinced him to float this proposal that would not only promote peace and harmony but also enhance economic activities in the Narowal district. An official said if the proposal is approved by India then it would require a new border entry to facilitate Sikh pilgrims who would find it easier to move between Gurudwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur (Narowal) and Dera Baba Nanak Dev Jee (Batala) without tiresome road travel. It is pertinent to mention here that Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif who is currently on India visit would be the highest ranked Pakistani leader and Sharif family member who would visit the familys ancestral village Jatti Umra, located 35 km from the Sikh holy city of Amritsar and about 50 km from the India-Pakistan International border. The visit is being termed as a serious effort to bring Pakistan and India closer to each other with an aim to promote peace and harmony in the region where most of the people lack basic amenities of life like health and educational facilities. Kartarpur is the abode of Baba Guru Nanak Ji, the founder of Sikh religion, equally respected among Muslims and Hindus. The Gurudwara is located next to a small village named Kothay Pind on the West bank of the Ravi River. The original resting place founded by Guru Nanak Ji was washed away by floods of the river Ravi and the present Gurudwara was rebuilt in its place at a cost of Rs1,35,600, from funds donated by Sardar Bhupinder Singh, the Maharaja of Patiala. It was subsequently repaired by the Pakistani government in 1995 incurring expenditures in lakhs of rupees. According to the June 3, 1947 division plan, the whole of Gurdaspur had gone to Pakistan. That meant Kartarpur going deep into the Pak territory. But the plan did not work and had to be amended and the district of Gurdaspur was finally bifurcated by the concerned authorities. One tomb went to the Pakistani side and one fell on the Indian side. Now Sikh devotees from Indian Punjab often gather near the fence bordering Narowal district and offer prayers while looking at Gurudwara Kartarpur Sahib in Pakistan. Border Security Force has specially constructed Darshan Sthal by providing binoculars to the visiting devotees for a clear view of the Gurudwara. Talking to The News, Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal said construction of bridge at the Ravi River bordering Narowal district would greatly help bring the people of two countries closer to each other and facilitate the Sikh community that would find it easier to visit the abode of Baba Guru Nanak.

Waheguru ji ka khalsa Waheguru ji ki fateh Gurdwara Committee's members are primarily property managers so what to expect. If you want to do Gurmat prachaar then feed the poor, give them clothes & provide shelter. Daya is foremost virtue of Khalsa. As per Gurbani ਧੌਲੁ ਧਰਮੁ ਦਇਆ ਕਾ ਪੂਤੁ ॥ Dhhaal Dhharam Dhaeiaa Kaa Pooth || धौलु धरमु दइआ का पूतु ॥ The mythical bull is Dharma, the son of compassion; (no Dharam without Mother Daya) Moreso if you want Waheguru's grace then give care to Needy. ਨੀਚਾ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਨੀਚ ਜਾਤਿ ਨੀਚੀ ਹੂ ਅਤਿ ਨੀਚੁ ॥ Neechaa Andhar Neech Jaath Neechee Hoo Ath Neech || नीचा अंदरि नीच जाति नीची हू अति नीचु ॥ Nanak seeks the company of the lowest of the low class, the very lowest of the low. 13 ਸਿਰੀਰਾਗੁ (ਮ: ੧) ਗੁਰੂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ : ਅੰਗ ੧੫ ਪੰ. ੮ Sri Raag Guru Nanak Dev Page:15 Line: 8 ਨਾਨਕੁ ਤਿਨ ਕੈ ਸੰਗਿ ਸਾਥਿ ਵਡਿਆ ਸਿਉ ਕਿਆ ਰੀਸ ॥ Naanak Thin Kai Sang Saathh Vaddiaa Sio Kiaa Rees || नानकु तिन कै संगि साथि वडिआ सिउ किआ रीस ॥ Why should he try to compete with the great? 14 ਸਿਰੀਰਾਗੁ (ਮ: ੧) ਗੁਰੂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ : ਅੰਗ ੧੫ ਪੰ. ੮ Sri Raag Guru Nanak Dev Page:15 Line: 8 ਜਿਥੈ ਨੀਚ ਸਮਾਲੀਅਨਿ ਤਿਥੈ ਨਦਰਿ ਤੇਰੀ ਬਖਸੀਸ ॥੪॥੩॥ Jithhai Neech Samaaleean Thithhai Nadhar Thaeree Bakhasees ||4||3|| जिथै नीच समालीअनि तिथै नदरि तेरी बखसीस ॥४॥३॥ In that place where the lowly are cared for-there, the Blessings of Your Glance of Grace rain down. ||4||3|| 15 ਸਿਰੀਰਾਗੁ (ਮ: ੧) ਗੁਰੂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ : ਅੰਗ ੧੫ ਪੰ. ੯ Sri Raag Guru Nanak Dev Page:15 Line: 9 That's the reason why Karamsar attracts more Sangat compared to SevenKings or Barking. If parking is a problem, hire Valet Service on special events or volunteer. I was told a decade back that Committee was interested in acquiring Homebase at 7kings, don't know what happened. Lastly you don't need buildings to do Prachaar. It can be done through Internet, Tv & Mobile. Waheguru ji ka khalsa Waheguru ji ki fateh

LONDON-Agenda 21 Architects Studio has secured planning permission for a Sikh temple in Barking.The 3,155sq m temple, known as a gurdwara, will be clad with white stone and feature carvings, cornices and balustrades created by specialist Indian craftsmen. Golden bronze cladding panels will be used to finish the top tier of the main building in reference to the Gold Temple in Amritsar. A 420sq m dining hall will be the largest space within the new building and will serve free vegetarian meals to visitors throughout the day. Other rooms will be used as congregation halls, classrooms and residential areas for visiting priests and musicians. Agenda 21 described the proposed temple as "resolutely traditional at first glance but designed with a strong modern ethos regarding proportions, typology and functional layouts leading to an editing of the traditional features". The new temple will adjoin the listed 19th century Quaker Friends House which was converted into East London's first Sikh temple in 1973.

WITH CLAIMS OF RS.55,000 CRORE INVESTMENT COMMITMENT, BADAL ENVISIONS PUNJAB AS MOST PREFERRED INVESTMENT DESTINATION Business and industry in the country today gave a forceful endorsement to the new investment policy-orientation of Punjab as the two day Progressive Punjab Investment Summit began at the ISB campus here today. With some of the top names with global profiles, like Mr. Mukesh Ambani, Mr. LN Mittal, Mr. Rakesh Bharti Mittal, ,Mr. Sunil Munjal, Mr. YC Deveshwar, Mr. Onkar Singh Kanwar, Mr. Malwinder Mohan Singh among others,flanking Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal on the stage, this was quite easily the biggest day for investment promotion for Punjab and for show-casing the state as the most preferred investment destination in the country. As Deputy CM Sukhbir Singh Badal finished his elaborate and fact based presentation on what he called a new reality about Punjab, the industry responded by giving him and the Punjab government a full-throated testimonial, with LN Mittal going the extent of declaring that Punjab was the quickest in responding to business requests. The Deputy Chief Minister positioned himself as the CEO of the state when it came to business and industrial investment, and speaker after speaker got up to give him the thumbs up. It was clearly from the whole hearted response of the tycoons of business and industry that the Deputy CM had done his home work well and had succeeded and projecting his government as the most business friendly government in the country. Not just the commitments of Rs 55000 crores of investments but even the words in the speeches thataccompanied these decisions proved that Mr. Sukhbir Singh Badal had been received an overwhelming mandate in his favour from the captains of business, trade and industry. His Think Big, Achieve Big, and Money follows ideas slogans evoked instant response. The comfort level of the business and industry tycoons with the organisers carried a message of its own as it revealed that they had chosen to place their trust in the present dispensation in Punjab. Sensing the mood of the summit, the Chief Mr. Parkash Singh Badal deviated from his prepared speech and delivered what could only be a called a statesmans futuristic message for carrying the fruits of development, growth and prosperity to the poorest of the poor. Having said that the leaders of business and industry no longer needed any persuading to invest in Punjab, the Chief Minister dwelled elaborately on the goals of development, mixing it with traditional Punjabi warmth and humour, even having delicious and light-hearted jibes at his good son for leaving nothing for me to speak. While the Deputy CM focused on walking the talk and elaborated the path-breaking steps already taken by his government to cut red tape through a regime of governance reforms, the Chief Minister envisioned Punjab as the most preferred investment destination in the country. The Chief Minister envisioned Punjab as the most preferred investment destination with firming up of total investment to the tune of Rs 55000 crore on the first day of Progressive Punjab Investors summit, where eminentindustrialists and entrepreneurs from the country and across the globe evinced keen interest to set up their ventures in varied fields. Addressing the galaxy of captains of industry and noted entrepreneurs on the inauguration of two days summit here at Indian School of Business (ISB), the Chief Minister said that the vision and dynamism of Deputy Chief Minister Mr. Sukhbir Singh Badal to put Punjab as the frontrunner state on the Industrial map of the country, has finally bore fruits with his unique effort to organize this mega event for the first time ever organized during his political career spanning over more six decades. He said that the recent path breaking initiatives by giving lucrative incentives in terms of VAT retention, exemption of stamp duty besides establishing Punjab Industrial Promotion Bureau headed by him with Deputy Chief Minister as its co-chairman and Mr. Anirudh Tiwari appointed as its Chief Executive Officer to give clearances in fast mode to the entrepreneurs would be instrumental in reposing their confidence and trust in the investor friendly policies of the state government. Mr. Badal pointed that earlier single window service was merely a sham devoid of any meaningful purpose, which not only demoralized the potential investors but also hampered the industrial development of the state. The Chief Minister said that the complete communal harmony, peace and amity was mainly responsible for overall development and prosperity in the state and urged the industrialists to make optimum use of this congenial atmosphere backed by excellent infra structure, surplus power, skilled human resources and best industrial and work culture, for which the Reserve Bank of India has even rated Punjab amongst the three best investment destinations across the country. The Chief Minister said that Punjabs economy was predominantly an agrarian economy which has already reached a plateau and now we were left with only option to go for industrialization in a big way and todays summit was a step towards this direction. He announced to convene a much bigger summit on agriculture in February next year thereby inviting the key players in agro processing and stakeholders related to agriculture not only from the country but abroad also to further consolidate the agrarian base of our economy with a focus on marketing besides food processing as a value addition to the agriculture produce to benefit the farmers enormously. Mr. Badal impressed upon the leading players of the industry to attend that Agriculture summit also with same enthusiasm so that pro-farmer policies could be chalked out to help our beleaguered peasantry especially the small and marginal farmers. Buoyed over the whopping investments coming forth in todays summit, the Chief Minister in a lighter vein asked the Deputy Chief Minister to closely follow up the MoUs signed between the state government and the various industrial houses so that these investments should not merely remain on paper but should actually come on the ground. He urged the Industrialists to be humane in their approach and contribute a significant portion of their wealth for the philanthropic causes under the Corporate Social Responsibility. Mr. Badal appreciated Reliance and Bharti groups for doing exceptionally well for the welfare of poor and disadvantaged sections of society. He said the spirit of charity and doing good to poor was an inherent character of the Punjabis as they have derived this inspiration from the great Sikh Gurus, who called upon them to contribute atleast 10% of their wealth (Dasvandh) adding that in the spirit he asked the industrialists to donate generously for the well being of needy because magnanimity for such humanitarian acts never goes unrewarded rather their wealth would be multiplied manifold. The Chief Minister said that he had prioritized the Health and Education sector by launching unique schemes so that these core sectors should not be ignored at any cost. He said that the state government has started Dr Hargobind Khurana Post Matric scholarship scheme to give scholarship to the poor but bright students securing more than 80% marks in Matric class. Likewise Mr. Badal said that six special schools were being set up by the state government to provide free education to meritorious students of the rural areas adding that these schools would provide free boarding and lodging facilities to the students at par with the private schools. The Chief Minister urged the Industrialists to open Skill centers to train the unemployed youth to enable them to be gainfully employed besides catering to the needs of local industry. He also asked the major captains of the Industry to focus their attention on the welfare and prosperity of the economically weaker sections as a part of inclusive development otherwise any deviation from this path could lead to a dangerous trend of Naxalism, which was spreading its wings swiftly across several parts of the country. Slamming the Union government for ignoring the common man, the Chief Minister said that the Congress has to pay heavy price for its anti-people policies as it has been routed from the four states during the recently concluded assembly polls whereas a novice Aam Aadmi Party has registered impressive gains only due to its concern shown for the poor and common people. He said that Punjab which contributes 60% of the food grains in national kitty despite of its 1.5% of countrys total area besides enormous contribution of Punjabis in national freedom struggle and safeguarding the borders from our hostile neighbor has never been acknowledged by the Centre. Earlier in his power point presentation Deputy Chief Minister Mr. Sukhbir Singh Badal, while declaring Punjab as a power surplus state, said that the power would be available here at cheaper rates as compared to other states. Citing the CRISIL rating of High prosperity and Equality, he said that the state was having the best infra structure which was a basic catalyst of industrial growth. The Deputy Chief Minister said that due to the concerted efforts of the state government Ludhiana city has been declared best investment destination by the world bank adding that the RBI has also adjudged the state as one of the top three investment destinations of the country. The Deputy Chief Minister said that Punjab would be only state with best air connectivity having three international airports at Mohali, Amritsar and upcoming at Macchiwara besides three domestic terminals at Bathinda, Ludhiana and Pathankot. He further said that Punjab was having the finest road network having four/ six lanes roads throughout the state which connected all the cities and towns of the state. The Deputy Chief Minister said that the state government has embarked a major scheme for the comprehensive planning and development of urban and rural areas across the state thereby equipping them with 100% water supply and sewerage facility. Underscoring the need of growth with equity, the Deputy Chief Minister said that he was a firm believer that ideas were far more important than the resources and to think big for achieving big was his motto for success. He said not only the key players in industry from India but abroad like CTCI Taiwan, USAs leading Mall Company Gumberg have already landed in the state. The Deputy Chief Minister reiterated that conducive atmosphere coupled with peace and harmony and enterprising skill of Punjabis was a major factor to boost investment sentiment in Punjab adding he said strikes and labour unrest were words unheard of in the state. The Deputy Chief Minister said that the establishment of PBIP would facilitate the investors in securing clearances in a hassle free manner under one roof and CEO has been made accountable to give sanctions with regards to ten departments. He said that the lucrative concessions given to industry had further rejuvenated confidence amongst the industrialists besides scaling down the corruption at the cutting edge considerably through bringing out of box governance reforms which were guaranteed to eliminate the interface between the public and government officials. Earlier the Chief Secretary Mr. Rakesh Singh welcomed the esteemed gathering whereas Cabinet Minister Mr. Madan Mohan Mittal proposed the vote of thanks. Principal Secretary Industries Mr. Karan Avtar Singh conducted the proceedings of the state. Prominent amongst those present on the occasion Cabinet Ministers Mr. Bikram Singh Majithia, Mr. Janmeja Singh Sekhon, Mr. Sarwan Singh Phillaur, Mr. Sikander Singh Maluka, Mr. Sharanjeet Singh Dhillon, Advisor to Chief Minister on Media and National Affairs Mr. Harcharan Bains, Media Advisor to Deputy Chief Minister Mr. Jangveer Singh, Assistant Media Advisor to Deputy Chief Minister Mr. Harjinder Sidhu, State BJP President Mr. Kamal Sharma, Financial Commissioner Revenue Mr. NS Kang, Financial Commissioner Development Mr. Suresh Kumar, Principal Secretary to Chief Minister Mr. SK Sandhu, Special Principal Secretaries to Chief Minister Mr. Gaggandip Singh Brar and Mr. KJS Cheema.

SAD WINS THREE SEATS IN DELHI, LOSES ONE Chandigarh, Dec 08, 2013 It was a historic Sunday for the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) as it has achieved its goal of making inroads into the Delhi assembly by winning three of the four seats it contested in the national capital. The party of peasants and Sikhs, which completes 93 years of existence on December 20, won the first ever assembly seat in Delhi on its own symbol 'scale'. Sunday's victory on its symbol in Delhi is the second outside Punjab; in the 2009 elections, the party had won a seat in Haryana. Of the four candidates fielded by the SAD, three emerged victorious. Manjinder Singh Sirsa from Rajouri Garden and Shyam Sharma from Hari Nagar had contested on the party symbol. Sirsa emerged victorious. Taking no chances, the SAD had fielded two of its candidates on the BJP symbol 'lotus'. The SAD leaders who contested on the BJP symbol are Harmeet Singh Kalka from Kalkaji and Jatinder Pal Singh Shanty from Shahdara. Both emerged victorious. SAD, a member of the National Democratic Alliance led by the BJP, contested the Delhi elections in alliance with the BJP. Of the 70 assembly seats, the SAD contested on four and the BJP on the rest. With the BJP winning on just below the halfway mark at 33 seats, the SAD will play a vital role in the formation of the BJP government. In such a situation, the SAD would ask for at least one minister in the cabinet and would push for even more, said sources. SAD patron Parkash Singh Badal and president Sukhbir Singh Badal were actively involved in campaigning, addressing about a dozen rallies each. The party ran intensive and strategic campaign with senior leaders as in-charge of each constituency. During election campaign, both leaders harped on the issue of development -- replicating Punjab's development model in Delhi, especially in the constituencies represented by Akali candidates. The SAD focused on Sikh population, which is in considerable numbers at Rajouri Garden and Hari Nagar, besides on slums. A number of senior leaders from the party, including Punjab ministers, MPs and MLAs besides a large number of party workers actively campaigned in Delhi. "It's an historic event," said SAD's Delhi affairs in-charge Balwant Singh Ramoowalia and SAD spokesman Daljit Singh Cheema. SAD Delhi chief Manjit Singh GK said no other regional party except the SAD had won seats in the Delhi polls. After winning the Delhi Shiromani Gurdwara Management Committee polls in January, the SAD called winning the three assembly seats as its second consecutive victory in the national capital. A political expert said the SAD had lost the Hari Nagar seat because of its own shortcoming as it had fielded a weak candidate, Shyam Sharma, a sitting councillor, from there. The constituency with a high percentage of Sikhs, elected Aam Aadmi Party's Jagjeet Singh. Gurpreet Nibber - *HT Media Ltd.

There is a proper Code of Conduct (Rehat) for having Sri Guru Granth Sahib jeeo at home. If you can't meet the criteria then better read Gurbani from Senchi Sahibs ( 2 or 3 pothis). Personally would recommend reading and contemplating Gurbani on pc, laptop or tablet. Most of the sites & app's provide Audio, Word dictionary, Translation in Hindi, Punjabi & English along with Gurbani script. Now those who do Be-adbi & Manmat end up suffering. Three people I knew had Cancer, some acceded request and brought Guru swaroop to Gurdwara, Better late than never !
