  7. Panthic Project Ideas

    in WHAT'S HAPPENING?

    Posted

    Rebuild khabran.sikhnerd.com

    This was an old project where I attempted to have all relevant sikh news and blogs in one place for easy consumption.  I could resurrect this project as I think there is still room on the internet for something like this, though a simple RSS aggregator is likely too simple. Maybe you’d want to build more of a community-style site around the news articles being streamed in, or focus only on positive stories.  Should also add audio/video/etc as well. There are a lot of ways I could make this better and more useful.

    Sikh Resource Archive

    Idea of creating a pure and simple online archive of sikh resources. This would be focused on digital collection of everything sikhi-related, with a specific goal of things that are ‘useful’. 

    Timeline

    Another idea that I’ve been kicking around for a very long time is to make an awesome interactive timeline of Sikh History, across all sorts of dimensions. As specific as possible, with lot’s of different features and types of data you can access. To give a cool and easy-to-use view of sikh history and gurmat. Something like this or this. The main part of the project would be to consolidate the history into something that can be consumed by software, including lots of metadata, and making it free and open to all. This site is a great starting point and example to follow – it’s also very cool so check it out.

  14. Harmeet Singh: The collateral damage in the sordid IPL fixing saga

    in POLITICS | LIFESTYLE

    Posted

    In multiple interviews on Instagram since his ban was lifted following a court order, the World Cup winner has spoken about optimism and hope. Harmeet Singh doesn't do many interviews anymore. It's not often that he's approached for one these days. And when he does talk, "hope" and "optimism" aren't quite up there among Harmeet's takes on where his cricket career's at currently.

    in WHAT'S HAPPENING?

    Posted

    It is now more than ever, a need for the global Pan­jaabi-Sikh Com­mon­wealth to take a grip of it­self, in­ter­nally and ex­ter­nally, sen­si­bly and in­tel­li­gently look to re­con­struct its af­fairs away from the de­bil­i­tat­ing chaos and dis­or­der that has been al­lowed to over­come our in­sti­tu­tions, or­gan­i­sa­tions, pur­ported du­bi­ous ‘Pan­thic’ and Pan­jaab lead­er­ship, ar­gues Sikh ac­tivist-writer, Jagdeesh Singh.

    Premier Doug Ford was in Brampton today with Education Minister Stephen Lecce to announce the provincial government’s commitment to funding to build 2 schools in Brampton. 

    Of the two schools in Brampton, one will be named after Private Buckam Singh – a Canadian Sikh soldier that fought in WW1. The other will be named after Malala Yousafzai, a young human rights activist and Nobel Prize laureate. She is most widely recognized for her advocacy in education opportunities for women and children.

  23. Pseudo-Godmen and the game of religious conversions in Punjab

    in WHAT'S HAPPENING?

    Posted

    Punjab, since millenniums, has been home to a number of ethno-religious communities. The region takes pride in its diversity and has always remained open to the coexistence of different religions and faiths. This ethos and tradition continues till date. In the present context, Sikh are a majority religion while Hindu, Islam and Christianity continue to be practiced along with other smaller religions.

    In the mid-19th century, Punjab became a part of the British Empire and evangelistic efforts by Christian missionaries gained momentum. The first preachers came from Europe and they quickly created a local base with translation of Christian texts, including the New Testament and the Gospel, into both Hindi and Punjabi. The conversions were, by and large, due to two reasons. First, to remove the shackles of the caste system which led to the conversion of Hindus. Second, to take benefits that entailed from being a Christian, especially in the field of education and health.

    Talking about basics this Shabad was in our school prayer book ?

    ਵਡਹੰਸੁ ਮਹਲਾ ੩ ॥

    Wadahans, Third Mehl:

    ਹਉਮੈ ਨਾਵੈ ਨਾਲਿ ਵਿਰੋਧੁ ਹੈ ਦੁਇ ਨ ਵਸਹਿ ਇਕ ਠਾਇ ॥

    Ego is opposed to the Name of the Lord; the two do not dwell in the same place.

    ਹਉਮੈ ਵਿਚਿ ਸੇਵਾ ਨ ਹੋਵਈ ਤਾ ਮਨੁ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਾਇ ॥੧॥

    In egotism, selfless service cannot be performed, and so the soul goes unfulfilled. ||1||

    ਹਰਿ ਚੇਤਿ ਮਨ ਮੇਰੇ ਤੂ ਗੁਰ ਕਾ ਸਬਦੁ ਕਮਾਇ ॥

    O my mind, think of the Lord, and practice the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

    ਹੁਕਮੁ ਮੰਨਹਿ ਤਾ ਹਰਿ ਮਿਲੈ ਤਾ ਵਿਚਹੁ ਹਉਮੈ ਜਾਇ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

    If you submit to the Hukam of the Lord's Command, then you shall meet with the Lord; only then will your ego depart from within. ||Pause||

    ਹਉਮੈ ਸਭੁ ਸਰੀਰੁ ਹੈ ਹਉਮੈ ਓਪਤਿ ਹੋਇ ॥

    Egotism is within all bodies; through egotism, we come to be born.

    ਹਉਮੈ ਵਡਾ ਗੁਬਾਰੁ ਹੈ ਹਉਮੈ ਵਿਚਿ ਬੁਝਿ ਨ ਸਕੈ ਕੋਇ ॥੨॥

    Egotism is total darkness; in egotism, no one can understand anything. ||2||

    ਹਉਮੈ ਵਿਚਿ ਭਗਤਿ ਨ ਹੋਵਈ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਨ ਬੁਝਿਆ ਜਾਇ ॥

    In egotism, devotional worship cannot be performed, and the Hukam of the Lord's Command cannot be understood.

    ਹਉਮੈ ਵਿਚਿ ਜੀਉ ਬੰਧੁ ਹੈ ਨਾਮੁ ਨ ਵਸੈ ਮਨਿ ਆਇ ॥੩॥

    In egotism, the soul is in bondage, and the Naam, the Name of the Lord, does not come to abide in the mind. ||3||

    ਨਾਨਕ ਸਤਗੁਰਿ ਮਿਲਿਐ ਹਉਮੈ ਗਈ ਤਾ ਸਚੁ ਵਸਿਆ ਮਨਿ ਆਇ ॥

    O Nanak, meeting with the True Guru, egotism is eliminated, and then, the True Lord comes to dwell in the mind||

    ਸਚੁ ਕਮਾਵੈ ਸਚਿ ਰਹੈ ਸਚੇ ਸੇਵਿ ਸਮਾਇ ॥੪॥੯॥੧੨॥

    One starts practicing truth, abides in truth and by serving the True One gets absorbed in Him. ||4||9||12||

    Motto of my school was 

    ਵਿਦਿਆ ਵੀਚਾਰੀ ਤਾਂ ਪਰਉਪਕਾਰੀ ॥

    Contemplate and reflect upon knowledge, and you will become a benefactor to others.
