Singho, not all is lost. Just when things look bleak, I have just received official confirmation that Shepherd's Bush Gurdwara, the oldest one in all of Europe has written a letter to the Grays Committee, asking them to stop the actions, warning them that they are in direct conflict of their panthic duty as a Guru Ghur and that failure to do so will result in a formal petition being made to Akal Takht, SGPC and any/all other bodies. Furthermore, they have said that they will be sending out their letter to other Gurdwaras in the UK, to see who stands with them! I have seen this with my own eyes, and if possible, will try get a copy of the letter up on here. I think this is a massive step- too often the Gurdwaray have just turned a blind eye. Not any more it would seem. Finally - about time too that one influential body stands up and puts its golak where its mouth is lol!

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa WaheGuru Ji Ki Fateh!! With Maharaj's apaar kirpa Bhai Harbaljeet Singh Jatha will be coming to Shepherd's Bush London Gurdwara for a one off kirtan divaan from 7.30-8.30pm As an extra incentive (not like one is needed) the resident Giani, Head Granthi Baba Ran Singh of Tarna Dal will be continuing his in depth Katha on Japji Sahib!! Its so in depth that in the half hour, he doesn't even have time to do more than 2-3 lines at a time! Not to be missed

This is the gurdwara that locals recently opposed any enlargement plans yeh? I looked it up on google maps (because i'm sad) and read about how locals were "not happy at the size of the proposed dome"

Gianni Rann Singh Ji - Head Granthi Tarna Dal is in Shepherd's Bush Gurdwara and can help you out. If you need more info, pm button vurto ji

I'm currently about to start my Phd at Strathclyde University (top ranked law school in scotland and usually top 10-12 in UK) in human rights law. What would you like to know? If easier, drop me a pm. The English system at undergrad level is slightly different from the Scots form, I did a 4 years undergrad, then a 1 year masters prior to this. Without getting sidetracked, there's really nothing right/wrong about getting involved in law for a career, it's really just the same as any other job. You can make your own choices as to whether you'll take up a role in litigation, you could easily be working in a commercial firm, theres a tendancy to just assume law is all about criminal law, when in reality its a tiny part of law as a whole. Law operates in every aspect of life, you could be a Human Rights lawyer (Jaswant Singh Khalra style), an environmental rights lawyer, a commercial lawyer, a criminal defence lawyer, a prosecutor, a road traffic law lawyer, divorce lawyer - to name but a few.

Glasgow and Edinburgh rumours are false. They used to aboout 10-15 years ago in one of the Gurwaray in Glasgow until some GurSikhs caught wind of this and then went and 'discussed it' with them No Gurdwara in Scotland serves fryup as an excuse for Langar.

I double this, dont let shyness stop you getting a massive amount of inspiration and laha from the camp. Its just unfortunate that the two camps are clashing this year, i've been to both and they are just phenomenal life changing experiences. Drop me a pm about either camp if your wanting to go down, i'll put you in touch with a few people! i'm going to Khalsa camp myself this year, so i'd be happy to talk to you about it and you could chill witha wee group of us Scots who're coming down for it...beware though - we dont have soap up here, and we eat haggis!:ph34r:

One of my favourite tracks, from a Gurmat Camp long ago in Glasgow, 1 hour Rehras Sahib. Sukhi Baba with Navreet Singh on Tabla http://rapidshare.com/files/384383291/00_-_Raihraas_Sahib_-_Vajaa.mp3

The two Singhs, father and Son who were crushed by the moghuls in the Chakkr weapon i believe - if i'm right, the Bhaisahib Subheg Singh ji was the Pita ji, and used to work for the Moghul govt, but was always very mindful and caring of the plight of his fellow sikhs. I cant remember what excuse the moghuls made up to charge them both and sentence them to death but i'm sure that is who they were? This is a good idea poster, you should have a general knowledge questions like this. The painting depicting their shaheedi tends to be up in most Guru Ghars, two large wheels side by side, with Bhaisahib Subheg Singh ji strapped down to one, upside down, and its getting turned, whilst the other wheel has spikes down its side and is also being turned... I believe that mention is also made of this type of Shaheedi in ardas?

Go to the Panj Piyaarey, as Panj, they are the Roop (form) of Guru Sahib, they will give you the answer. Do not rely on individuals to give you "techniques", go to your Guru!

follwoing discussions with a friend, i thought i should share this information emailed from Greggs head office. IT IS NOT ok to eat from there if you are Amritdhari "To allow our customers to make an informed choice we display a Customer Care notice in all of our shops to inform customers that we cannot guarantee that any of the products we sell are free from the following serious allergenic products: Gluten, shellfish, eggs, fish, peanuts, nuts, soya, milk, celery, mustard, sesame, sulphur dioxide and sulphates.

penji i play for a junior team, and i've never had this problem ever... pm me if you wish, and we can discuss over that also, when i had trials for a 1st division team (lol only Scotland) there was no issues with the patka i wore back then. Nowadays i play with a keski, and theres no issues ever. also, if you get a copy of the leagues rules/constitution id like to try help analyse them if you'd let me

im looking to bring a team from up Glasgow ways to any Gurdwara tournaments this summer - is this the only one on? also does anyone know if any gurdwara has a football team that competes in a league? Id like to try help set one up here in glasgow so was just looking for advice Thanks

also, although unrelated to noodles try the following Paman Singh's Torqay Valey Beans!! )))) Ingredients: Beans Haree Mirch Loon Mirch Masala Piaaj Tumaatur Lusun Olive Oil First - Get a small pan, shallow one - ideally a stir fry pan. Layer the bottom of it slightly with olive oil (use olive as its much healthier for you!) Dice the onions (i use approx 3/4 of an onion), then throw it in to the pan. Grate the Lussun (around 5 or 6..."grates" should be sufficient!), add this to the pan Put it on the cooker, and set it lowest heat setting. Next, chop up the haree mirch finely. Add this to the mix, and stir in well Then take 2-3 (or more if you like some bite!) tablespoons of mirch and masala powder, and add these, before adding a wee smattering of loon (not too much!) Once you have done this, stir, and turn the heat up - by this time the piaaj should be beginning to sizzle nicely Chop up the tumaatur and add to the now delicious mixture. Make sure that the tumaatur is added last, as it is the quickest to burn up and disappear! Leave this for 45-60 seconds, and then add a tin of Heinz Beans, and stir. Once this begins to bubble slightly, voila! Torqay Valey Beans!!!!

thanks for your efforts gur70kd!

hanji interesting id say this most of them are actually suitable to eat - and contain such things as artifical flavouring or soya etc to make them this flavour (NOT ALL BEWARE) but ask yourself this - do you really want to eat this? the replacement flavouring is just as bad - its totally processed and artificial, im sure some of the more cleverer (ok pretty much everybody!) can tell you how bad it is to ingest all that junk... stick to fruit - but dont get boring fruit lol thats what used to put me off - apples and pears etc get cool stuff, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries - theyre amazing! mango, pineapple, sharron fruits, pomegranates - much healthier AND tastier haha im going to eat some grapes right now!
