I think part of the problem is the gurudwara sahibs around the world never really did much outreach to the younger generation and were almost potrayed in a negative light because of amounts of corpution and anti-sikh stuff going on. Now that most of the older generation is retiring, the ball is really in the younger generations court to donate more and keep programs running but they shy away from donating to Sikhi causes. We need to get more youth involved and as you said hold people accountable.

Bhenji,Can you elaborate ? How to get a Hukumnama.I find this a bit cryptic so it would be great if u can elaborate it a bit.I dont have a good connect with GuruJi

If you read the sakhi about Gurudwara Nankana Sahib and how it got freed from the evil mahant, you will know what I mean. Most of our natural instict would be to fight in those conditions. But look at those Singhs that gave their lives but did not fight back. It was their scarfice that brought the whole panth to arms and made the mahant run away, so the Gurudwara Sahib could once again be under the khalsa rule.

There is no cryptic message. and you don't know if you have a good connection, only guru ji knows. Just be honest and even if it sounds silly, tell Guru Ji exactly how you feel about what happened in the langar and then ask for advice on what to do. After ardas, take hukamnama. If you can't understand the hukamnama post it on sikhsangat and I am sure many people are ready to help you understand the hukam and follow it.

How about this? It is Guru Ji's house, his langar, why don't you ask Guru Ji? Next time you go to the Gurudwara Sahib take a hukamnama after asking Guru Granth Sahib Ji advise on this matter. Then do accordingly.

I have toshiba but i had similar problems with my windows 7, running slow and random restart. instal http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php the free version. and then restart your computer in safe mode, where you can't access internet and run this. It will find the virus and clean it. you'll be good to go.

im really impressed by all that you do. i was just wondering, are you affiliated with khalsa aid (uk) or are you two seperate organisations.

United Sikhs and Khalsa Aid are two different groups.

A few days we decided my dad will go to India next week, so shopping had to be done this weekend. While we were shopping dad spotted jackets on sale, he bought about 10 or so to pass out to people that looked cold. When I said it was a nice thing that the poor people would apperciate it, I got scolding right there in the store. My father would like to remind everyone not to label people poor or rich because you don't know what is going to happen tomorrow. When you label people, you make it hard for them to break out of the label.

or we could just listen to our leaders bachans, and be shasterdhari

and when someone comes to attack our guroos house.

gaddi charode, osi vele!

akaaaaaaal!

Yes, we do shasterdhari but at same time we do need to have security mesures in place. Even in the Guru Sahiban time Singhs would have night duty to make sure they were never caught off guard.

It is useless to have weapons if you don't even see the attack coming and get caught off guard.

Happy Birthday veer ji

Sarabjeet, where do you get this from? No puratan granth states this.

he is not making things up. I don't know about puratan granths but http://www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php/Mata_Sulakhni states exactly what he wrote. scroll down to more details section and read yourself.

I am sorry to hear about your loss. I will do ardass for your family.

waheguru

Waheguru ji ka khalsa, waheguru ji ki fateh

Dhan Dhan Guru Gobind Singh JI

I think its a respect thing, like my moms generation and the generations before never used name to call their husband. But todays generation, everyone uses name. People are more relaxed these days.

I can't wait any longer. So please someone check for me and let me know.
