So did he perform at Southfields and Sheperhards Bush????????? YES or NO.

Very good programme at Southfields. No anti-Gurmat parchaar, in fact exceptionally good. Organisers arranged for 2 singhs to speak to him direct with their issues but Prof. refused and said sangat will decide on him and not the 2 singhs. Police where and did not allow any karkoos in (which where no more than 4 (not 40 as previously stated on this website)).

Understand Darshan Sinh is expected to make an appearance at SIKH GURDWARA SOUTH LONDON 142 MERTON ROAD SOUTHFIELDS, LONDON SW 18 5SP TONIGHT (SAT 25 OCT) BETWEEN 6-8PM. SINGHS ARE EXPECTING TO ATTEND Met police got Kuldeep singh and mates (inc. me) details from thursday night. not good.

Thanks again for raising my understanding. Truely appreciated. However Matheen, these committewalae are so bent that they rig the elections with their own people and twist the Gurdwara consitution in their favour -making it difficult for asli suchaa sewa to take place !

I suppose more Granthi Singhs benefit. Not sure if the sangat do :umm: What is the purpose of an Akand Path: To enable the Sangat to listen to bani, if this is the case, then surley only one akand path is needed, as all the others reading bani, are doing so silently. Who benefits from many akand Paths ? Those that are reading bani, are doing so for themselves, as they are the only ones who can hear what is being read (silently). If they are truly devoted to reading bani, during an akand path and the only opportunity is by having more than one akand path (not really true, as they could do a sehaj path in their own time), they SHOULD NOT GAT PAID FOR DOING SO. Thank you for your responses and aiding my understanding. So are you saying hosting many Akand Paaths is merely for financial gain ? Guru Ji saryanoo kirpa karee.

No one has said anything about holding concurrent Akand Paaths are: a. disrespectful (although some may say they are technically wrong) b. limits to maatha tek What is being asked is 'what is the value of hosting many Akand Paaths together' ? You are not reading more bani because there are more Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jis -its not as simple as that -there is no correlation. Please stick to the question.

---- Matheen, you are correct that the crash helmet issue was over 30 years ago ! However, regretably I must correct your assumption that the committee has changed. They are all inter-related, nepatistic monae strong hold families. Nothing has changed -no evolution/ growth of the Sangat, etc. Sikhi Prachaar is weak at this Gurdwara and this is common knowledge across the country. Please everyone pray to Guru Ji to bless these monae with Amrit. Monae should not be allowed to set the Sikh agenda -they have no right. These are the same people who say Amrit and keeping Kes/ Distaar is a ritual/ old fashioned and 'its all about the inside'. Partially true, wrt to 'the inside' but isnt keeping Kes/ Distaar and being blessed with Amrit the basic tenants of Sikhi ! You are entitled to your views (like I am on mine) wrt Panjab Radio, etc. May Guru Ji bless you with a great day. So back to the original point Akand Paath with one Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji or 'N'. Where 'N' is a large positive integer.... right or wrong????? Bul chuk maaf karnie.

VJKK VJKF, I was listening to Panjab Radio this morning and Singh Sabha Gurdwara, Nottingham Road, Nottingham is hosting an Akand Paath to commemorate the 300th Gurgaddi Divas of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. However, five Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jis will be read concurrently. The Panjab Radio presenter at the time stated that this was not in accordance to Maryada and plain 'wrong!'. Also doesn't the Panthic Maryada of the Akal Takht clearly state that our eternal Guru, Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is and can only be recited in one form !? Is the notion of four additional Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jis being recited anti-Panthic !? The chaar paryiee the paath states the concept of 'soniayee the paryiee' –how can the Sangat possibly listen to four additional Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jis –what spiritual salvation does this bring ? I understand the managing committee has been led by monae for many years and they have strong affiliations with Congress (Michael Johal, President, 07812 242649). This Gurdwara has never hosted an Amrit Parchar, neither has it supported any Morchae, further when the crash helmet versus Distaar issue was being legislated, this Gurdwara was the only one that wrote to the Prime Minister at the time and said the Distaar is not important and the crash helmet should be endorsed ! Just plain pathetic !!! I invite the Sangat to educate me in the value of reciting five Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji's concurrently versus the edict of the Panthic Maryada of the Akal Takht ? Should we support Singh Sabha Gurdwara or is this managing committee ill guided with regard to Sikhi Parchaar and Panthic Maryada ???? Thanks and Regards. VJKK VJKF

1. The blog has now been taken down and reported to the police as a hate crime 2. The blog reminds us that our sisters/ daughters/ girls do this. Some of us may say this exposes them in shame 3. These girls: a. are mentally weak. low self esteem and confidence -with all the Sikh/ Punjabi boys out there they can only get excitement with a muslim !? b. have no spiritual fibre in their making. They are not Sikhs c. bring shame and regret to the family. Each family member of a Sikh/ Punjabi girl has a duty to bring them up with morals and Sikh values. Being on a blog like that is nothing to be proud off, so why do it? 4. Sikh/ Punjabi girls need to realise and made aware that Sikh/ Punjabi guys are good and equally the Sikh/ Punjabi guys need to behave with dignity and respect so the girls cant refuse them
