Here the Namdharis just have a food stall, what about Southall Nagar Kirtan where they have a float giving out anti gurmat parchar? What about Vaisakhi in the Trafalgar Square where they are the kirtanis and giving out the langar? What about Raj Academy where Namdharis are the "Ustaads" of Raag? What about recent concerts like Music of the Sikhs?? When did Namdharis represent Sikhs!!! I really hope Wolverhampton Council of Gurdwaras stop this Mela!! Then Namdharis can sell their Channe at Ek Niwas :lol:

Grays is a lovely town in Essex. The Gurdwara comprises of this party hall which is joint to the overall Gurdwara Building. There is an door that joins the hall & Gurdwara Langar hall. Its so blatant that if you ring the Gurdwara and ask if you can book the hall, they will say upfront that meat and alcohol is allowed here!! Many locals have seen the alcohol going through the main entrance of the Gurdwara, into the langar hall and through the door that goes into the party hall. Need I say more? Try it, give them a ring and say you want to book the hall for your kid's birthday or something, see what they say. 01375 376 086 Grays Sikh Temple - 6 Maidstone Road, Grays, Essex. RM17 6MF

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!!! The State of UK Gurdwaras continues to demise, read below: >Subject: alleged goings on at the Ramgharia Centre Slough last Friday >Date: Wed, 3 May 2006 13:13:11 +0100 (BST) > >do this think this is ok to send onto sloughsikhs? > >------------------------------- > >All, > >Can anybody shed any light on what happened at the Ramgharia "Educational" >Centre last Friday night? > >I was walking home at about 7pm when I saw a large gathering of teenagers >(13/14 yrs upwards) dressed up, hanging around outside, and bouncers at the >door.

This is blatant abuse of Guruji that happens every weekend. We have to do something about these Gurdwaras.

BUMP!!!!!!

The Pardhan had to be told he was doing wrong Didnt it occur to the Pardhan that taking Maharj there was wrong?? Kaljug

I totally understand. I couldnt concertrate at work today once I found out about Magna. Maharaj Kirpa things will improve. Charan Sharan Gur Ik Penda Jae Chal....Satgur Kot Penda Aagay Hoe Leet Hai

Benti to all Please can the Sangat get Gurdwara Pardhans to ring Magna. Also if there is any Sikh ORganisations out there, please email or ring Magna. Magna have to realise that we are united on this stance!

Bhenji The wedding happened in a Gurdwara. With all this beadbi towards Guruji, at least you & your family have not partaken in it. Your family listened to the sangat's benti. May Guruji bless your family

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!! Sheffield Gurdwara is 10 mins away from Magna Centre. This Gurdwara's address is Ellesmere Road North, Sheffield, South Yorkshire S4 7DN. Not to presume anything but they can be the ones bringing Maharaj on the 7th. RING THE GURDWARA ON: 0114 242 0108 Pictures of Surinder Singh Dhillon, part of Gurdwara Committe & also picture of current Resident Granthi at Sheffield Gurdwara

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!! Just spoken to a lady at Magna. The set up will be a curtain dividing the Wedding hall spliting the bar and set out tables from Maharaj! Basically the granthis will take Guruji into a pub! The facilities provided by Magna are permenant fixtures and constantly stocked because the wedding room is used for weekend promotions and parties. This cannot happen! This is the worst beadbi by far!! Sangat ji keep ringing Magna 01709 723118 - this will get you straight through to: Helen Davies - Commercial Manager Rachel Fox - Senior Events Co-ordinator Russell Hague - Events Duty Manager email them: events@magnatrust.co.uk

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!! RESPONSIBILITY!!!! Whoever does a camp, programme or kirtan darbar has to be responsible in their actions. Its basic ethics! A Code of Conduct! Stick to it or go home. Dont mislead youth!

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji KI Fateh!!

i havent seen a single leaflet or heard of these guys, apart from on here.............where can i get these leaflets from. ill be happy to give them to the gurughars where i live, as im sure theres no mention of them here. well at least most of us are on hols, and can help in the protesting. Iv just emailed them guys................ i thought the best way to stop this would be to contact the family involved, then the granthi, but its gone so far we have to ask the hotel people to stop .................. The Hotel is more sensitive to the feeling of the Sikh Communtiy than families and Granthis, thats a fact. They will listen and act professionally to resolve the situation. Email the campaign your address, I am sure they will send some leaflets. Also this goes out to other youth, if you are willing to distribute leaflets in your local Gurdwaras then email your address to sikhalerts@yahoo.co.uk

We need confirmation from the Thistle Hotel. Everyone must keep trying. Any Pardhan or Gurdwara Committee member rang yet??

Kanchans are still putting the phone down when asked about this wedding!! We need to find out about who the Granti can be. I am pretty sure no East London Gurdwara will be part of this, however I might be wrong. There are a number of freelance granthis in East London around Manor Park & Forest Gate.

Is this true or is it just to stop us from protesting? Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!! Very true, who was the guy you spoke to? I would prefer it if it comes from Banqueting Manager Katherine. I am trying to ring her but noone is picking the phone up! Please Sangat ji keep the pressure up! We have not got any kind of confirmation that the wedding is off!!

Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Gurdwara Committee Elections - what a dirty word! We all have a imagine of Corrupt People out for power. But when things get so bad, like at Singh Sabha East London, Singh Sabha Slough, Ramgarhia Forest Gate, then its time for those people who hate the idea of Gurdwara Politics to get involve and try and fix the current issues. NO ONE ELSE WILL FIX OUR GURDWARAS. Locals of East London must reflect, there's no point ignoring the problems thinking some other Gursikh within the area will deal it! At very minimum we need to take time out and become Gurdwara Members & Vote, those who chose to ignore have their backs towards Guruji.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!! To show a bit of unity maybe it would have been good for SF & SIE to attend the conference aswell??

Tara Singh is on the right, he's part of the committee. Another committee member is Nirmal Singh

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!! I have found out from discoversikhi.com that Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji was taken to Southport Theatre, Merseyside on 2nd April 05 for a wedding. The Gurdwara responsible for this is: Guru Nanak Culture & Recreational Centre 10 Tunbridge Street Preston PR1 5YP There is no excuse for this committee, they we trying to do this beadbi last year in Hilton Hotel Blackpool, its because of corrupt committees like this one that beadbi continues. If I remember, the family involved in Hilton Blackpool incident were more than willing to re-arrange the wedding to the Gurdwara. Its our so-called leaders who want to sell Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and Sikh Principles! Please ring the committee of Guru Nanak Culture & Recreational Centre and stop them from doing further beadbi this year! 01772 798 395

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!! The Panth needs role models like Baba Baljit Singh Ji Khalsa and Jathedar of Takhat Sri Damdama Sahib Singh Sahib Bhai Balwant Singh Ji Nandghar. They have risked everything to stop beadbi of Maharaj. AMAZING SEVA...... The UK Sangat has to learn that beadbi toward Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji can only be stopped by Gursikhs. Dont expect someone else to do it. Its part of that promise you make to Guruji & the Panj Pyare when taking Amrit. Its an amritdhari's duty just like doing Nitnem & Naam Simran! Babbars Singhs used to go to Rainsbais to recharge their batteries to continue the Struggle for Freedom. What do we do with our recharged batteries but go to sleep! Our Struggle is against a few corrupt Granthis & Commitees. They dont have stones and you will be lucky if they carry a kirpan let alone use one against a Gursikh. The power of Opposition is more than enough to change things & break this corruption. Dont forget Gursikhs have given Shaheedi for the Panth. Others are sitting in Jails with hopes that they have opened roads to a stronger Generation of Gursikhs. We owe them, its simple. Make a stance, tell what you are doing on SikhSangat and believe in Guruji, you will be amased by the support you will receive. It will rock any committee!! Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!! 020 8571 1127 (Despardes) 0121 523 0115 (Sikh Times) I am going to ring them today and talk about Gurbani in their papers, I hope others do aswell.
