I dont think you HAVE to do either but its great for the impact if we all have orange head coverings (be it dastar, rumaal or chunni) is in us all having orange on our head... but regardless most important thing is to be there. anything else orange is also good, eg. tshirt. if you can get a strip of orange material or orange rumaal you could always tie that around your dastar or arm or something. if you wear a triangle dastar and don't have enough material you could always have an orange keski or fiftee underneath showing

Read the description. The man is a muslim. They first had a muslim ceremony and then this mock up anand karaj. The video itself is not the issue its the fact that these so called gyanis agreed to conduct this ceremony, even taking maharaj there.

Absolute disgrace, the so called gianis sing ham ghar sajan ayae at his arrival, what a joke. Such an ardas or ceremony will NEVER be parvaan. I am posting this not for a slagging match, but to put this to the attention of our Californian veers to get these 'Gyanis' and whatever Gurdwara they come from to answer why it carried out such a ceremony. *So called Sikh marrying a Muslim in so called Anand Karaj*

I came across this event on facebook which is going to be taking place tonight at Central Gurdwara Khalsa Jatha, London (Shepherd's Bush), organised by the 'Guru Ram Das Keertan Project'. http://www.facebook....231119736943134 This it the timetable given for the night, it is highly commendable to stay awake all night for bhagti, but I am unsure about some of the things that are listed as happening on the night, eg. 'gong meditation' and 'aquarian march meditation'. Whatever people do in their personal lives is of no business to anyone, but I do believe that there are certain things that the Gurdwara is the right place for, and there are other things which should not take place there Below is the text as on facebook, please share your thoughts. Also, please note this is in no way an attack or critcism of any individual or organisation, I am only concerned/confused.

Currently a speaker called Harinder Singh from the USA, who I believe is head of the organisation SikhRI, is very active in the UK, giving talks to the general sangat and now it seems he is getting into student circles as well. I have read many different concerns across different forums regarding SikhRI and Harinder Singh, I will post my findings shortly. In the meantime I would request the USA sangat who have had interactions with this group to share their experiences and thoughts. Should the UK Sangat be wary of SikhRI and its speakers?

Someone sent me this (Can admin please make this a sticky, thanks). RSVP on facebook: https://www.facebook...149587588444996 Please invite all those you know Bhai Pal Singh PRESS RELEASE 14 May 2011 World Ardas Day for Bhai Pal Singh - 19.6.2011 Sikh organisations around the world are calling for all Sikh Gurdwara's to observe a special Ardas (Prayers) for Bhai Pal Singh on Sunday 19th June 2011. ... It has become an increasing concern that Punjab is full of drugs and Sikhi is on the wane. Bhai Pal Singh, a well-known social humanitarian, saw these things too, and decided to leave the comforts of family and life in the West to try to make a difference there. He spoke at schools, organised keertans in villages, and put on educational dramas to raise awareness about social ills, especially the disease of drug addiction, and the powerful people who benefit from it. In true Sikh spirit, he served the youth and disadvantaged of all religions. He travelled throughout Punjab, speaking about peace and understanding between faiths and across society. He inspired people with his simple, honest words, and through his positive activism, provided hope in communities lacking hope. He spoke up against age-old injustices like casteism, the low status of women, and vested interest groups that prevented common people from living with dignity. Clearly, his work offended important people: in July 2010, Pal Singh was arrested on false terrorism charges – a common silencing tactic in Punjab. Today he remains in prison, denied medical treatment, with little hope of a fair trial, and his life at risk. During his detention for almost 275 days, Pal Singh has been severely tortured. He has lost sight in one eye, and now has significant health problems from the brutal torture. Due to Bhai Pal Singh being a French national, French officials have requested medical attention for him. This has been denied on numerous occasions by Punjab Police. Bhai Pal Singh could easily prove his innocence from the framed charges, if given the opportunity. However the Punjab Police has ensured that he has missed seven consecutive court dates, hence denying him any chance of freedom, and making a further mockery of the Indian Justice system. According to independent sources, on one occasion the Punjab Police ensured that he missed the time slot by leaving the jail so late, that when they arrived at Court, the Judge had already left the building. Bhai Rajinder Singh Purewal, General Secretary of Akhand Kirtani Jatha UK said "We have requested the Jathedars of all 5 Takhts to lead the World Ardaas at the Takhts. Bhai Pal Singh is an innocent man, who has been severely tortured, by a regime that is targetting NRIs who wish to create a Punjab without drugs. We request all Sikhs around the world to join us in Ardaas for Bhai Sahib's chardi kala and release." Simranjit Singh Mann, a former Punjab MP stated, "these charges are fabricated and politically motivated". Voices for Freedom stated "It is a well-known reality now that just to satisfy its masters, Punjab Police every now and then captures innocent Sikhs. This illegal detention of a peace loving, Indian born French national Pal Singh, is another episode of ongoing injustice against Sikhs". We condemn the use of torture on Pal Singh. The Punjab Police are in breach of the High Court's orders by denying him access to the medical attention he desperately needs, and have repeatedly failed to bring him to his Court dates to cause unnecessary delay. And finally, let us not forget that Pal Singh is one of hundreds of innocent Sikh prisoners languishing in Indian jails, some for over 20 years. Many of these have been mistreated and denied due judicial process. Meanwhile outside, their families suffer in silence and poverty. We ask you all to join us on World Ardas Day to pray for Bhai Pal Singh, the other Sikh prisoners, and in the spirit of 'Sarbat Da Bhalla', all innocent prisoners world-wide.

Message from Bhai Kamaljeet Singh Shaheedsar on why Bhai Sahib has not gone to the police: Now many ask why Bhai sahib ji is not going to police. He can, but many members of present committee there are against Bhai sahib. So when the lett...ers were kept on gurudwara golak, cctv captured who did it. But when bhai sahib demanded cctv footage, committee wale said ' it got deleted due to some singh's fault'. So we see they all are hand in glove. Very soon we'll ready Bhai Saib ji's statement and it will be published in all North American newspapers, and Police has been contacted. But investigations will take time. If bhai sahib's case is pursued by police, the paapi committee members are going to remove giani ji from his post. In that case, sangat will have to come forward to support Giani ji. So first we need sangat to come ahead, stand with bhai sahib and then we plan the things to move. Fateh ji. Akaaal

I came across the following message: Giani Jangbir Singh ji Damdami Taksal wale, who is presently doing sewa at Gurudwara Singh Sabha, Port Reading, New Jersey, Near Carteret ( USA) is being threatened by Anti-Dasam goons of area who are followers of Darshan Laal and His Pakhandis. Letters were sent to Bhai Sahib in Gurudwara threatening him, then a Singh close to Bhai Sahib was called by Nindaks and they asked him to tell Bhai Sahib to stop '' PARCHAR OF DASAM BAANI AND PURATAN TAKSALI MARYADA'' otherwise '' He will be framed in Terrorism related cases, his and his family's life will be ruined, and such allegations would be leveled against him that He would not be able to show his face to anyone ever again''. Ex-President of Gurudwara Committee, Bhai Kewal Singh is also being targetted by Nindaks as He also believes in Dasam Baani and Taksal. Bhai Sahib challenged Nindaks to come to his face and then strike, instead of sending letters against SANT JARNAIL SINGH JI, Taksal, Bhai Sahib and Other Singhs. Surprisngly, CCTV recording of Gurudwara sahib of last few days was deleted and when inquired, Committee people said 'It happened by mistake'. Name of one Samittar Singh and other Panth-Dokhis has been revealed in investigation until now. Bhai Sahib ji has offered to leave the Gurudwara ( not without a direct debate or Mukabla ). Now it is upto USA Sangat and Singhs to come forward and support Bhai Jangbir Singh ji in this battle against Panth Dokhis. We Need to support and stand by our Singhs who are doing Parchar of Puratan Maryada and Dasam Baani, despite all odds.

***BREAKING NEWS* Reports are circulating that the camp is going to be attended by the notorious, excommunicated 'Professor' Darshan Singh. This camp should be cancelled. Everyone should phone Khalsa College and urge them not to host the camp.

Has anyone actually phoned? As they say prevention is better than the cure. It is better if we can convince the Khalsa College not to allow Tiger Group to hold the camp well in advance, rather than the camp go ahead and then people raise their concerns.

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh I came across a poster for a camp being held at Guru Gobind Singh Khalsa College, Chigwell, the camp is being run by Tiger Jatha UK, I think that the school is only a venue. The controversial camp is being held 22nd-34th April 2011. The Tiger Jatha UK are known for anti-panthic views such as doing parchaar against Pavitar Bani of Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj and supporting excommunicated "Prof" Darshan Ragi. Search this forum for more info on their anti-panthic, anti-gurmat views and activites. It is simply that this is known to be a group with very controversial views and such controversy has not been resolved with the rest of the community. For this reason it does not seem right that such a group should be able to have access to young people to teach them views which have not been deemed acceptable by the panth. I think the best and most orderly solution would be to calmly phone Guru Gobind Singh Khalsa College and request them not to allow the camp to be held for the above mentioned reasons. This is a simple matter that can be resolved peacefully and calmly without the need for any sort of agression, verbal or physical (it feels like this must be said as we do seem to have some very hot headed members in the Sikh community). The phone number for Guru Gobind Singh Khalsa College, Chigwell is: 0208 559 9160 Poster for the questionable camp:
