  3. Human Rights Worker

    in POLITICS | LIFESTYLE

    Posted

    Dear veer it’s great to hear that you wish to become a human rights worker

    It’s never too early to start, why not join AI? Become a local member; if you do not have a local group look into setting one up yourself, it can be a school/college society or a local neighbourhood project even

    Also look into becoming a young ambassador for AI or any other human rights organisation

    University wise you can look into legal subjects, history or politics maybe, or perhaps even cominbe? Over here (uk) you can specialise in certain areas such as human rights if you’re doing a law degree for example you can take specific modules in human rights or after your law degree you can go on to do LLM (masters in law) and specialise in JUST human rights, so may be worth getting a few college/uni prospectuses and checking out the different courses.

    but i think school is not the be all and end all of it, volunteer work will open many doors for you and give you a better idea of what it all involves.

    Check out the Canadian AI website or of any other human rights organisation, they may have projects ongoing which you can get involved with and they’re always on the look out for volunteers

    Also try mailing United Sikhs, it’s worth a shot!

    All the best

    And sincere apologies if the above is of no use!!

  12. Calling All Tabla And Sitar Fanatics Hehe

    in WHAT'S HAPPENING?

    Posted

    received this email:

    I am pleased to announce UK ’s first Darbar Spring Retreat (Shivir) from Sunday 8th April** to 15th April 2007.

    ** edit

    Darbar :: South Asian Cultural Arts is a development agency that aims to increase the accessibility of south Asian arts heritage for all of Britain ’s communities.

    In March 2006, Darbar put on the Darbar South Asian Music Festival – a landmark event in UK ’s south Asian music scene. The festival is a key part of our efforts to showcase the world’s leading south Asian classical music maestros and provide performance opportunities for UK-based artists. The second festival takes place on from April 13 to 15th 2007.

    Another core aim is supporting UK based artists and developing their full potential.

    This programme includes providing performance opportunities, tuition and advice to talented teachers and artists.

    In this respect, Darbar is building upon the legacy left to us by the late Bhai Gurmit Singh Virdee, a respected teacher of Tabla for 22 years in Leicester at the Leicestershire School of Music. The 2006 festival was a tribute to Gurmit Ji.

    The Darbar Shivir will provide a unique opportunity for up to 30 of the UK ’s top teachers and promising young performers to develop their musical skills from maestros, who are top of their profession. They will offer their musical expertise in guiding students through an intensive schedule of 5 days for Tabla and 4 days for Sitar. The days start at 8.30am and finish at 6.00pm. Hosted at the Knighton Fields Centre, the Shivir will take full advantage of the superb facilities at this Leicester venue.

    The Shivir intends to complement participants’ work with their instrumental teachers and contribute to their overall musical development.

    If you are interested then complete the application form and return to us by 28th February 2007.

    Please pass this onto teachers and advanced students of Indian classical music.

    Details of Darbar Festival 2007 will be published within the next 10 Days.

  16. Amrit : Brings Out The Worst?

    in WHAT'S HAPPENING?

    Posted

    Vaheguruuu, Vaheguru, Vaheguru, Vaheguru

    Referring to the original topic/title, veerjio, how can you even title the subject "Amrit: Brings out the worst?" Amrit is something only rare individuals can explain, only rare souls realize its essence and understand its importance, I'm certainly not one of them.

    We CANNOT put a label like that on Amrit, because its something very pure and sacred. We have to dwell on the meaning of amrit, to truly feel it is to experience death (khand). Like the punj pyaare CHURN amrit during the amrit sanchaar and how the patassae that are so hard, they dissolve and become one with the amrit, sameway the pataasay of kaam, krodh, lobh, moh, ahankaar, that seem so sweet when we make best use of them through specific situations, we have to learn to churn the KHANDA OF NAAM so that they dissolve in this amrit. We have to keep churning the KHANDA OF NAAM. After taking amrit abhilekhees are imbued in naam, but its very hard to hold that inside. Without churning the same pataasay become hard again because they are not being churned and they become hard and sameway our mat-budh gets these blocks of kaam, krodh, lobh, moh, inside of us, and these blocks will affect our health and lead us to death, but by exercising the khandaa of naam this body stays healthy.

    In life, many take amrit but that does not make you jeevan-mukt, only Guru Sahib can bestow that understanding and only he can make one jeevan-mukt, bottom line, we have to follow the teachings of GURU SAHIB, and instill those teachings only then can we ever understand the essence of amrit.

    I just thought the title of the topic was wrong, so I'd share my two cents, Bhul chuk muaf. d_oh.gif

    thank you

  19. One To Read

    in WHAT'S HAPPENING?

    Posted

    Thanks for the link to the book, will definitely be reading it, I have communicated with Jasvinder a few times via email, one time being after her appearance on an ITV debate show called “it’s my life” I think Nama Singh can comment in more detail about that as he was there also. She did make some points AGAINST Sikhism, but that was based on her own experience of Sikhi and the stuff her parents had forced her to believe. Its saddening to see someone was pushed away from the faith due to beliefs that were thrust upon her which have nothing at all to do with Sikhi. It’s a shame when parents use the Sikhi dig to back up their own views of forced marriage etc!

    Anyway below is an extract from the mail I sent and received from her if anyone wishes to read it!

    Subject: "its my life"

    Dear Jasvinder,

    I watched “it’s my life” (ITV1, 27/03/06 00.10hrs) and write this mail in response.

    I think it’s a shame that the Sikh women you talked about had to endure what they have and what they no doubtedly still do. And it was also very saddening to hear about your experiences with your family and Sikhism.

    I agreed with the comments you made on the program about your parents making you believe certain things

    were part of Sikhi such as caste, forced marriage etc, it is unfortunately still prevalent today.

    I think the manner in which you expressed your opinions on Sikhism was a bit harsh and unnecessary and definitely a view from someone who has not experienced or even learnt of Sikhism, I really hope you do not take offence by what I say. Because Sikhism gave equality, power and rights to women from day one, when Hindu women were being burned alive on funeral pyres of their husbands it was our Guru Sahibs who condemned this, when Muslim women were forced to wear purda again it was our Guru ji’s who spoke out against this. Same with caste, equality comes into play in the langar concept, as one example, everyone working, sharing, eating, serving together etc, BUT it is the PUNJABI MENTALITY that has let the Sikh community down. For me ‘Punjabism’ and Sikhism are

    two totally separate things. On one hand Punjabi cultural issues are rooted in caste prejudice as an example and on the other hand Sikhism forbids this. I think it’s up to the individual to decide which they would rather follow, for me Sikhsim is a way of life, not just something I do on the weekend, and I think I can differentiate between being Punjabi and Sikh. I don’t (like most Sikhs born in the Diaspora) have this backward, ‘village-fied’, repressive mentality and therefore don’t host the same views as my parents or grandparents might have for example. So what we find in turn is that we are more liberal and understanding of Sikhism than maybe our parents were and therefore perhaps it is our duty to explain this……………….

    ...........because too many lives are being ruined under the banner of “this is the Sikh way of doing things”. I have a friend at your centre that was moved there last

    year, a girl from ***** called ************************* who came to live in **********. She was treated really badly by her in-laws and husband and it was a shame to see what they had reduced her to.

    I hope you understand the issues I am trying to raise.......

    ………………..even if one parent was to think twice we could help a family from breaking up!!................................................

    Thanks for reading!

    All the best for the future

    God bless and protect

    ****** Kaur

    Dear ******,

    Thank you so much for your email which was very touching, may I firstly apologise if you were at all offended at this was not my intention. I have to say that I personally think Sikhism is a wonderful religion as most religions its foundation is built on the grounds of compassion. Sadly it was used against me in such a way that I as a young person did not get to experience it as you are and I am so pleased to hear that you derive so much

    strength from your religion. I personally am now a baptised Christian and it is my faith that sustains me so I understand what you mean, maybe it would have been different for me if someone had taught me different? ............................................................

    …………………………..Once again thank you for responding, whenever I speak I try to give a view that is based on fact and when I speak from experience I do just that which is never meant to be disrespectful.

    All best wishes,

    God bless,

    Jasvinder Sanghera

    **also forgot to add, none the less, she is doing a great job helping women who have been abused on all grounds! thumbs_up.gif

    in GUPT FORUM

    Posted

    I want to start learning how to do Kirtan...I was thinking Harmonium as its widely taught or maybe dilruba, cos I like listerning to kirtan with a Dilruba in. Im from the UK so are there any people that teach dilruba in Midlands/South...otherwise its Harmonium or anything else people think I should look into. :)

    dilruba classes in wolverhampton/birmingham west midlands

    derby - east midlands

    not sure of any other city/towns
