  1. Can someone tell me more about what Lohri exactly celebrated for?

    We've never celebrated it but lots of friends families do that are Gursikhs and I would like to counter the argument for celebrating it! I thought it was to do with something else and not Prahlad?

    Someone please clarify?

    Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa,

    Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.

    Dear Sangat Ji,

    Thank you for the great response and the encouragement concerning the above

    appeal. It's always hard work organising these important missions, but with

    the knowledge that your blessings are with us it becomes much easier.

    Khalsa Aid will be directing its humanitarian relief efforts in Sri Lanka

    and Sumatra (Indonesia). In both of these places, we will be working with

    the local Sikh Sangat to ensure aid reaches the people who desperately need

    it. With our experience of working with local Sikhs in Gujarat and Orissa

    during our first two major missions, it was evident how important local

    knowledge was in managing the distribution of relief aid effectively.

    As we continue with our latest mission, I will ensure the Sangat is kept up

    to date on our progress.

    Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa,

    Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.

    We are all aware of the tragic and sad events that have taken place in South East Asia. Thousands of people have died and many remain missing, from Indonesia to Somalia. The fortunate ones who have survived face the threat of disease and long-term economic loss.

    Khalsa Aid (K.A.) is sending a team of volunteers to Sri Lanka and other affected areas to assess the situation on the ground to assist in the humantarian relief effort. K.A. will be linking up with local NGO's and, where possible, work alongside them to provide assistance.

    Khalsa Aid was formed in 1999 to help those escaping from the Kosovan war and has since provided aid in Orissa (East India), Turkey, Gujarat (West India), The Democratic Republic of Congo and recently Somalia (this is an ongoing development programme).

    All volunteers are unpaid and are inspired by the teachings of Sikhi and individuals such as Bhai Kanaiya Ji. All this seva has been possible due to the genorosity of the Sangat.

    Khalsa Aid is appealing for donations to provide medicine, shelter and long-term education needs in the affected areas. Your contributions so far have helped thousands of unfortunate people in several countries and now the need has arisen again to help those who have lost almost everything.

  4. Vaaheguroo Jee Kaa Khaalsaa, Vaaheguroo Jee Kee Fateh

    Sangat Jee, we received a call from a pyare Gursikh very early this morning to tell us this very sad news. :wub:

    This Gursikh was one of the three Singhs that were present with Baba Jee while he took his last breath.

    There have been postings that Baba Jee said that he cannot wait any longer and Sant Jee has given a new date of arrival. We clarified this with this Gursikh and he said that this was NOT the case, he did not give any bachan like that in his last few moments. Just wanted to clarify.

    He will sorely missed, my 5 year old son had great pyaar with him, hes so sad and says that he wants to go to sachkhand with him and meet Vaaheguroo Jee also. He has kept the harr (garland of flowers) that baba jee put around him when they met so very safe alongside all the money that Baba Jee always used to give him!- always when Baba Jee saw him and other children, there was a smile on his face....

    He has given much inspiration to all of us, for us to quietly carry on with our Gursikhee Jeevan and better ourselves.

    Baba Jee you are so missed... pray.gif

    Vaaheguroo Jee Kaa Khaalsaa, Vaaheguroo Jee Kee Fateh.
