  3. we need to educate our people about kirpans at airports. i know of many cases where poople forget to pack their kirpans and they end up either with security or people end up throwing them in garbage bins as they dont want to miss their flight. Here is a link to an article with picture of kirpan with other prohibited items. http://www.thestar.com/News/Canada/article/293749
  4. you got that right,,,,,,,, picture again is someone's imagination, no one knows how are Gurus looked. The only way it helps i guess is, people maintain faith, they have something in front of them to look at and most of it came into SIkhi from hindus. We got Guru Granth Sahib as the greatest treasure to look at and bleive in it, but most people are scared to keep the living Guru at home and use the pictures as an alternative.
  5. we dont beleive in statues, our gurus showed us the bright oath of Gurbani. anyone can make a statue and name it as Guru's statue, you can make one today and then leave it outside for few years and then claim that its a antique. we shouldn;t be beleivign in this stuff to begin with.
  6. this is extreme people, before we were not able to do things outside our home and now they will decide what we can and not do inside our home,,,,,,,,, i am wondering are they not scared of us any more, they forgot what happened to Indira?
  7. Late Sikh leader's trustees, widow at odds over estate http://www.rickross.com/reference/3ho/3ho103.html Division of the late Sikh leader Yogi Bhajan's estate has become the subject of a lawsuit that seeks details regarding multimillion dollar claims. The New Mexican/October 9, 2007 By Tom Sharpe Yogi Bhajan's widow is making unsubstantiated claims for millions of dollars against a trust set up to benefit the late Sikh leader's assistants, says a complaint filed this month in state District Court. The complaint says Inderjit Kaur Puri has received what she is due from her husband's estate — "her interest in community property, IRAs and life insurance proceeds, and certain real estate located in New Delhi, India." Yet Puri claims she knew nothing about charitable contributions that Yogi Bhajan made during the last eight years of his life and wants half of that community property returned to her, says the complaint. In addition, the lawsuit says, Puri's lawyers say at least $3,784,863 is missing from her share of the Yogi Bhajan Administrative Trust for "persons who were the Assistants of Yogi Bhajan during his lifetime." As a result, the trustees "are suffering ongoing, irreparable harm by the failure and refusal of (Puri) to present the details of her claims," says the complaint filed Oct. 1 by Norman Thayer of the Albuquerque law firm of Sutin, Thayer & Brown on behalf of trustees. Sopurkh Kaur Khalsa, Shakti Parwha Kaur Khalsa and Ek Ong Kar Kaur Khalsa. Yogi Bhajan, the ebullient, turbaned, 6-foot-3 master of White Tantric Kundalini yoga, was the chief authority for the Sikh religion in the Western Hemisphere [sic] until his death three years ago. The founder of a religious community near Española, he was a confidant of and contributor to many New Mexican politicians, including Gov. Bill Richardson and U.S. Rep. Tom Udall, D-N.M. Thayer said in a telephone interview Tuesday that he has met Ek Ong Kar Kaur Khalsa, who acted as a spokeswoman for the Sikh community after Yogi Bhajan's death three years ago. But Thayer said he had not met the other two trustees and did not know if they were assistants to Yogi Bhajan. "The problem is they don't have sufficient information supporting the claims to be able to judge their accuracy," he said of the trustees. "In order to move the matter to a conclusion, (they will) ask the court to hear the evidence and make a decision. ... We just need to get the details on the table." Siri Singh Sahib Bhai Sahib Harbhajan Singh Khalsa Yogiji, known as Yogi Bhajan, was born in 1929 in the part of India that became Pakistan in 1947. He became a yoga master at 16, studied economics, worked as an Indian customs officer and came to the United States in 1968. In Los Angeles, Yogi Bhajan assembled a loyal contingency of American followers hungry for his regime of yoga, vegetarianism and capitalism as well as abstinence from smoking, alcohol and drugs. In 1972, he moved to Sombrillo, near Española, to open an ashram with a congregation of some 300 Sikh-convert families. In 1997 and 1998, Yogi Bhajan had several heart attacks and underwent angioplasty and open-heart surgery. By his 71st birthday party in 2000, he moved slowly, often gripping the arms of followers, and was unable to practice yoga. He died in early October 2004. According to the complaint for declaratory judgment and ancillary relief, Puri's claims about missing money and charitable contributions were first made in May 2005 in a letter from the Santa Fe law firm of Worcester and McKay. Robert Worcester, who has represented Puri, did not return messages seeking comment Tuesday. The case has been assigned to state District Judge Jim Hall, who has yet to set any hearings.

  9. Lahore, August 21 An 18th century Sikh shrine in Naolakha Bazaar in Lahore has been “taken over by a group of hooligans” and the government is “hesitating to take action” against the Muslims who have locked the Sikhs out, Daily Times said on Tuesday. It said the government’s action was “almost like the way Islamabad hesitated over the Lal Masjid affair,” and asked if President Pervez Musharraf was “aware of the potential danger in this development.” In an editorial, the newspaper urged Lt Gen (rtd) Zulfiqar Ali Khan to “act without delay.” A failure on his part, it warned, could prompt the Muslim clerics opposed to the government to “escalate the incident into a national crisis.” “Is President Musharraf aware of the potential danger in this development?” the editorial asked. The shrine in the heart of Lahore is under the control of The Evacuee Trust Property Board (EPTB). The newspaper did not explain how General Khan, a former chief of the Water and power Development Authority (WAPDA) that deals with development of water supply, is connected with the shrine. The newspaper said that the ‘hooligans’ had locked the Sikh devotees out and had painted Islamic motifs. They claim that the shrine was originally the “tomb of one Pir Kaku Shah, a claim not supported by the local Muslim community.” The Sikh temple in Lahore’s Naulakha Bazaar is the remains of Bhai Taro Singh who was known to be a patron of the poor. He died in 1745, harassed by a local ruler. The Sikh community built a temple in his honour which is now in the custody of the EPTB as alien property. “Whatever the facts, General Khan should take no more time in deciding the matter unless he thinks the Sikh shrine is no longer evacuee property after 60 years,” the newspaper observed. The plea for avoiding “Lal Masjid-like situation” was a reference to the military-led operation last month at the controversial mosque where 167 people died and many injured in the process of evacuating Muslim devotees and students, both boys and girls. The military action, taken after nearly six months’ siege, earned praise for Musharraf among the world community and the liberals at home, but has angered the conservatives and the clergy, leading to several suicide attacks. — IANS http://www.tribuneindia.com/2007/20070822/main8.htm

  17. this is crazy, unacceptable, we need to do somthing abou this
  18. I am sure about the Canadian Corporation laws. Sikh Spiritual Centre in Rexdale( Toronto) is a prime example of this where court over ruled sangat and gave the ownership to founding directors of the Gurudwara.
  19. You are rite, it belongs to the sangat, but not according to canadian corporation laws. Only the directors or original founders are the owners of the Gurudwara, if its a corporation. And yes its a business for some families for some of the Gurudwaras
