no offense taken though... and no offense meant to you...

damn, this is HEAVY <admin-profanity filter activated>, i didn't know all that stuff, i've only skimmed through it right now though...

by "Dhillon bro (Sac State walley)" do you mean me :T: ? what made you think i was a guy? just curious :T:

i'm havin a good laugh right now though (silently in the computer lab)

How come I've neve seen him at Sac State :T: ? With all that SIKHness he'd be noticed from miles away

thanks for the clarification on that! oh, yes I've heard that bradshaw gurdwara has the projector system, i haven't seen it but my dad has and he like it. B)

As far as I know, Kandola ji, the purpose of "Riding the Tiger" is to document what happened in 1984 in the Delhi riots. I'm not sure if that includes operation bluestar prior to that or not. yes i see how this could make india look like the terrorist, but the point is to document a historical moment for Sikhs. Even I did not know about the Delhi riots until a couple of months ago but I've known about operation bluestar for as long as i can remember. so it could be the case that this documentary is being made to shed light on events that some of us or maybe a lot of us did not know about before.

one more thing, what's this Raenshabaeey some of you have mentioned? I'm sorry but I don't know about this because I have not heard about it and have been wondering who or what this is since I joined this forum..some help?

btw, Mkhalsa ji, since you are from Cali, have you been to the annual Nagarkeertan in Yuba City in November? I checked out your website and was wondering if that Khalsitan Security Force car was for real...It would be hella cool if you brought that this year and had it part of parade

Thanks to all the Cali ppl for posting their shout outs B)

and thanks to "Singh" for offering to post up SSA's Blood Drive event...I've probably met you if you've been to our events and stuff...just not sure which face your name goes with...

Thanks to Gurujee that our people have not forgotten the sacrifice of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev

I think Kulpreet Singh ji is right fellas,

c'mon now, why are we cracking jokes about this brother if we're praising rochak ji for adopting sikhi saroop????????????

I was just wonderin if I could get a shout out from members on this forum from my home state Cali, especially anyone who goes to Sac State. I'm not going to hunt you down or anything, I just wanna know if there's any point in posting events hosted by the Sikh Students Association of CSUS.

Thanks

:wub: :wub:

i feel so much better now!!!

my fellow singhs and singhnia,

check out Riding the Tiger

Based on original 16mm footage and audio recordings made in 1984 by Surinder and Michael Singh - American brothers of Dutch, German and Sikh heritage - “Riding the Tiger” will be the first eye-witness documentary film to chronicle the anti-Sikh violence that erupted in New Delhi in November, 1984.

The 20th anniversary of this event will heighten interest in what really happened in 1984. To complete this film by November, 2004, shooting must begin this winter. The cost of this initial stage, including Indian crew and organizers, is $32,000 . Following an enthused and emotional screening in October, 2003, of segments of “Riding the Tiger” at Toronto’s Spinning Wheel Film Festival, we have raised $8,500 of that $32,000 (Thank you very much, supporters!!) The initial stage of this project is being funded by grassroots support. We are relying on YOUR contribution.

“Riding the Tiger” is targeted for an international audience, ranging from the PBS network in the United States, to Channel 4 in Britain, and various broadcast venues throughout Asia and the Far East.

***Check out the website and listen to some of the original audio recordings from 1984 taken by the Singh brothers, support the funding if you can, and spread the word about this documentary in progress. It would be great to have something like this made and shown on TV. We Sikhs need as much publicity and Sikh awareness out there as we can get!

btw, heres the link to his webpage for those of you who haven't seen it yet

Mkhalsa

Hello Mkhalsa ji,

props to your website

I love your sikhi art gallery

I especially love the car

You did a nice job with your website, btw, is the car for real and is it yours?

Thanks for your comments! I wanted to see what others thought about it. I agree, it would be better if it had the page numbers from the SGGS and the gurmukhi lines as well. If someone finds a better website where you can quickly check out what SGGS says on certain subjects please let us all know about it! B)

hi Rochak ji

that is so AWESOME !!!

keep it up, you look great and you inspire our men, you'll attract lots of girls too

: :wub: May God bless you and keep you in chardi kala :wub: :lol: :lol:

Does anyone know the date of Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji's Shahidi Gurpoorab in 1960? I know this is an odd question but that is the date of my father's birthday but we only know that it was that special holiday when he was born, not the actual date. I have emailed SGPC twice with this question thinking that they might have the resources and old calendars or something to tell me. They have never replied back! @ @

Does anybody know the date? Or a different source that could tell me the date?

Thank you in advance!

Here's a website where you can select a subject and see what the Guru Granth Sahib says about it.

Post replies if you think it is a good source, not so good, etc, what do you think?

Vinanti Sarkar is not expected to be there, but V. Sarkar does know about this event and provided us with the flyer which I am unable to post here. Does anyone know how I can post the flyer here?
