  2. http://www.media247.co.uk/bizasia/bbc-one-sitcom-citizen-khan-gets-second-series BBC One today announced that it has commissioned a second series of family-based sitcom ‘Citizen Khan’. BBC One Controller Danny Cohen ordered a further seven episodes of the studio sitcom starring Adil Ray centred on larger-than-life self- appointed community leader Mr Khan and his long suffering family. The first series of Citizen Khan launched in late August this year and made a very positive start launching with 3.7 million viewers and a 21% share on its first transmission. “BBC One has a long tradition of laugh-out-loud family comedy for all generations. ‘Citizen Khan’ has delivered this whilst bringing new comic talent and a fresh flavour to the channel. I can’t wait for the second series.” Mark Freeland, Head of BBC In House Comedy said; “With sitcom to grab attention all you can ask is laugh out loud funny distinctiveness, authenticity and great characters. I think we’ve certainly grabbed people’s attention.” Adil Ray said; “I am thrilled. This is testament to the hard work of the cast, my co-writers and the entire crew. I have been touched to hear from families nationwide who have already taken this cuddly bearded Pakistani Muslim from Birmingham into their hearts and living rooms. Above all, I thank Community Leaders who continue to spring up everywhere who provide the inspiration.”

  7. Further negative quotes added by different accounts - Once upon a time four door's were put on the very first GURDWARA. This was to show that GURU NANAK'S house is open to all regardless of CASTE,CREED AND RELIGION. What went wrong? exposingnijjhar 24 minutes ago Stupid me thought the house of GURU NANAK DEV JI was open to ALL.What if the groom had started walking on the path of sikhi after the wedding like many more non-punjabi jat person's Fat chance now. exposingnijjhar 34 minutes ago The bigot singhs who posted this u tube video, identify yourselves! Cowards, if you are right, stop being cowards and identify who you are.....have you been to the big city gurudwaras such as soho road or southall to stop any non sikh weddings? No!

  8. The video is NOT from original poster which has ALL suspect negative comments on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnLJ1yGbggA So called shear Punjabi need a life & education I would like to remind you, that none of our guru sahibs, had Anand Karaj Marriages and the Anand Karaj Act was passed in 1909, 200 years after the passing on of Guru Gobind Singh ji. It can be argued therefore, that had guru Sahib, wanted us to have Anand Karaj marriages, he would have in fact introduced them. Extremist groups, trying to force their will on people, who gave you the right and the authority, (been hearing voices again, have we!) binder3261 3 hours ago well said jasmine! a2malhiin reply to Jasminedhaliwal13(Show the comment) 9 hours ago About the video: Cyber bullying an aunty...oh how courageous of you About the situation: People get married to white christians n brown hindus, etc all the time and nothing ever happens.

  10. Kaljugi, I have another magnificent Shabad by the same Qawwali group that I uploaded on one of my other youtube accounts (GurdwaraTV)
  11. Mand5 I suggest you learn to be a bit more respectful before you think its right to question Sikhi in such an abrupt and negative manner. Just come out with it why pretend as you are a RS are you not comfortable with your "panth?" I think the newbie monitoring system is broke as it is letting in all kinds of weird stuff

  14. Elisabeth Meru is a very unique individual. She was born in Hamburg, Germany and now lives in Munich. She has written short stories, journalistic pieces and poetry for radio stations and several newspapers and journals. The Guru's miracle manifested in her life after 24 years spent searching for God when she visited the Gurdwara in Munich, Germany for the first time and first heard Gurbani Kirtan. In this moment she knew: "I'm coming home." Years of listening and seva followed. She converted to Sikhism (after 7 years) and in collaboration with other Sikhs, wrote her first book about this religion. Elisabeth Meru taught herself Gurmukhi. She also has a knowledge of writing, reading and talking Hindi. The book "From the Heart of Sikhism - Guru Nanak Dev Ji - In your quiet rose garden" was written by Elisabeth Meru for Guru Nanak Dev Ji's 540th birthday. This book contains legends about the ten Gurus, their wisdom and teachings as well her own poems, fables and a fairytale in German style. For her book "Sikhs und Sikhismus, Religion, Riten und der Goldene Tempel" ("Sikhs and Sikhism. Religion, rites and the Golden Temple", 2006) she worked together with other Sikhs living in Germany. On November 13, 2009, the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee, in Amritsar, Punjab, India, bestowed the Siropa on Elisabeth Meru in recognition of her work and her service to Sikhism. In her own words.... The Rainbow Road During my long search (24 years) for GOD I found Sikhism by myself, just as I adopted the Salvar Kamiz, my favourite clothes even when I am in Germany, without anyone influencing me. When I became a vegetarian more than twenty years ago, Indian cuisine was the logical thing to turn to. Among my favourite dishes are Mattar Caval, Makkhan Parantha and Alu Parantha. As I absolutely love sweet foods, my favourites, apart from German chocolate, are Jalebi, Kheer, Kulfi and a sort of small yellowish globules, whose name I keep forgetting. Once I turned to Sikhism, I regularly went to the Gurdwara. There I met a Sikh and we married. I taught him German and built a new life for him. Without either of us being aware of it, his immense knowledge made him my teacher in all things related to Sikhism, and I introduced much of what I learned from him into my first book, "Sikhs and Sikhism, Religion, Rites and the Golden Temple." But before I could write this book, almost seven years passed also with Seva. While I was still working on the book together with other Sikhs, my husband left me. Fortune will run its course, but I kept part of my Sikh-family in the Punjab and still have a home there. After I had finished my book, I parted ways with the Sikhs. I was on my own after that, but my heart kept crying steadily for Guru Nanak Dev Ji – maybe this was the reason that I was allowed to write the book "From the Heart of Sikhism – Guru Nanak Dev Ji – In your quiet rose garden." While looking for suitable illustrations I asked some Sikhs from the Sangat for help, without much success. After a long time I finally found all the pictures I wanted in the fantastic libraries of our Munich University. My book contains over thirty pages with full-colour illustrations, among them Wood and ivory mosaics in the Golden Temple, and Front Elevation of the Carved Door in Amritsar, Gates from the Punjab (17th century), flowers and birds. The oldest picture dates from 1749. Also included were many smaller illustrations. There is no market in Germany for books on Sikhism, and there is hardly a publisher that will invest in Sikhism. Therefore my mother, a good friend and her mother bore the expenses for my small team of collaborators, for the graphic design, the printing (the German version was printed in offset) and everything else related to my book. When my book "From the Heart of Sikhism – Guru Nanak Dev Ji – In your quiet rose garden" was published I got a wonderful flyer from my graphic designer. After that, I wrote my book "Sikhism – Wellspring of Love." This book also was paid for by German friends and with the help of an unexpected amount of money, but when I turned to the Sikh Sangat with my wonderful flyer, I received a surprising amount of help. In the end, two Sikhs sponsored illustrations. Then something incredible happened: A Sikh living in Germany had read my last two books and contacted me to offer me financial support for writing a new book on Sikhism. This book should be addressed to the young Sikh generation living in Germany who are cut off from their roots as a growing number of them speak only little Panjabi, cannot read Gurmukhi and can hardly speak enough English to be able to read good books on Sikhism. Thus I could write the book "Guru Granth Sahib Ji Essence and Sikh Terminology from A to Z", which I had already been working on but lacked the money to publish. My Sikh sponsor, who prefers to remain nameless, is not rich, and I asked him for money only for my small team and for costs related to the book, but not for myself. What could I have taken for work that lasted months? This book as well I regard as Seva. But the positive things kept coming: As I turned for help to the Sikh Sangat, the resonance was huge and a Canadian Sikh Institute translated about 600 names and religious terms from Sikhism into Gurmukhi script, as I wanted to give all these terms correctly. This was a huge amount of work. I then prepared everything for my friend, an Indologist who is fluent in Punjabi / Gurmukhi, but cannot check her translations. I should also mention my team, among whom are another Indologist, a translator with a Ph.D. in English Literature, a linguist, a musician and some students of Indology. But let me get back to the Sikh Sangat. I found the cover picture for "Guru Granth Sahib Ji Essence and Sikh Terminology from A to Z" via a Sikh Heritage. The important thing about this picture was that it did not pander to clichés, but I left the final decision to my Sikh sponsor. The next thing I want to work on is a book on Sikh martyrs, whose structure is already clear to me. Some of the chapters from this book have appeared here on SikhNet. ED NOTE: Here are Elisabeth's beautiful writings that have appeared on SikhNet to date: Bhai Mati Das ~ The Victory of Love Sahibzada Ajeet Singh and Sahibzada Jujhar Singh ~ UNFORGOTTEN The young Sikh martyr – Tender as a rose I am poor and live on welfare. That is not pretty, but I could never have immersed myself so deeply into Sikhism, my religion, if I had spent my working life in financial accounting. I spend my time reading and writing and pass on my knowledge by occasionally giving German lessons to students from abroad and proofreading term papers, master's theses and Ph.D. theses. In what I have written above, many years of my life are summarised. I had to face many difficulties and received many injuries, from Germans as well as from Sikhs. But that is what usually happens when something new wants to be born and looks for a firm foundation to grow on. At the present time, I am looking forward to the future and hope that I may contribute something for my religion, Sikhism, with pen, ink and paper, in never-ending love and humility for VAHIGURU JI. I can only continue my work if generous Sikhs support me financially. Because my pockets are empty while my heart and my spirit are overflowing with words and sentences that belong, at the moment, to the Sikh Martyrs. I hope that Sikhs will come towards me on my journey, for without them the road of the rainbow cannot exist. “Don't you know? No-one can walk over the rainbow!“ “Yes, no-one can, but...“ I close my eyes and surrender.

  15. WJKK WJKF, these events are very tragic for the whole Sikh community who have put their hopes and dreams for real parchar media and want education and understanding of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj. OK there is always a power struggle and one-up-man-ship between some people that belong to different parties, which in this case is tv channels, but they should not use this to affect the whole community by trying to shut each other down! Rajoana TV is Fantastic and I only hope that this channel if not on the tv screen at least broadcasts 24hrs on the internet. If it is indeed true some people have cancelled their dd then I for one am very sad that unknowingly they are going to throttle another voice we had in this world that spread Gurbani .
  16. I know some bits are not totally correct but think these videos are Superb and easier for Sikh punjabi kids to understand who can not understand Punjabi. Some channels could learn from these examples and explore in making better programmes for Sikh children.
