oooooo well spotted will let them know! :TH:

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.

Vaheguru thank you

hanji i got it bhenji! mmmm lol not sure where to upload though! any ideas? i know i know i'm waiting now for some bhaji to come along and say "typical women !!!"

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

Vaheguru Ok haven’t bothered to read all replies because they all seem to be full of the same negativity/hatred towards this guy Do you think this is going to make him want to embrace Sikhi? Sometimes you have to make your own mistakes in order to realise things, other people cannot make them for you, if you’ve got a kid so intent on placing their hand in an open fire or something and you tell them to stop doing so, without good reason, that kid is not going to listen until his hand gets burnt, then he will realise himself why he shouldn’t have done it! Likewise this guy may not have a 2nd clue about anything, especially at 15!! Most of us have been there, gosh and some of us would rather not go back there I think!! (a hippy one year, a Goth the next cough cough) but anyways yeah it’s sad (as in upsetting) that the kid had to do all this, but imagine what he must have felt in order to HAVE to do it; Like this reverend dude Donald Reid said the incident highlighted the need for support, but also for 'the views, difficult realities and challenges of our youth to be heard and appreciated’ and I think HELPED!! A lot of us prayed in Ardaas to Guru Sahib ji to help bring justice for this guy and punishment for the “perpetrators” but can we not now ask Guru Maharaaj to bless him with a Gursikhi jeevan, where he is happy and content and can make his jeevan safli and be strong and have the protection and guidance of Maharaaj to overcome any emotional, spiritual, physical, psychological problems he may have? Think what if it was your son? Would you want the whole world to s*ag him off to anyone who is willing to listen? As for the media, bad news travels faster than good, yeah it’s a field day for them but for how long? A couple of days maybe? but what about next week and the week after that when this guy is still going to be living with all this? many of you may not agree with my thoughts, but likewise we're all entitled to our own 2pence worth!

emiiiii 1st of allllll Kaur Khalistani Lioness Bhenji :D lol i wanted to start this thread but that's why Amar had decided to take SS down in the middle of the night emiiii but still i am in hope i was the 1st one 2 text him hehe (lol i better have been!!) and yeah happpppy birthdayyyy Amarrrrr yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay as you know me losted your address sooo apologies as it's christmas post mania as well at this time!! but have a good oneee, you're a great friend, and i feel totally blessed to have you in my life, thank you for everything, and hurry up and get married so i can have your presents hehe take care, love ya, God blesss xx :HP:

hmmmm should we respect Jesus? well i think so, but that doesn't mean 'worship' him, but do certainly "acknowledge" him as in his existance, his life, etc in "Se Kinehiya?" Sant Baba Seva Singh ji writes of when Sant Baba Harnaam Singh ji had holy glimpses of Christ, Mohammed and Bhrigu Rishi; and Christ said "it is my inner desire that my followers should adopt the path shown by the Great Guru"

well it seems like they're now keeping senchiya at ek nivas

i think it means like "luring" the women into their trap/ inticing them etc
