  1. Look look.... No one here nor anywhere else thinks that it is right that a very small minority is saying that they will get violent. If you view the video. It is very peaceful. If you look at how sgpc is trying to deal with this it's very peaceful. The Nihang Singhs put out letters, and made videos... The problem is this movie is getting support from people who are to lazy to teach their kids about sikhi or they don't are for parchar.
  2. There is nothing extremist about calling for a ban for a movie that 1) may have been a human acting... 2) the producer makes crazy claims about Guru Nanak Dev Ji. 3) simply not wanting people to fill their pockets in the name of religion.

  5. Probably will try to destroy the Maryada. I hope this fool evokes a Nihang Singhs Bir Ras and gets taught a lesson.
  6. Someone has done the motions for Guru Maharaj.. If it is not clear that this is not true, How will this be released.

  8. IF there is even the Controversy that someone has done the motions for guru maharajah then HOW CAN THIS BE RELEASED?? http://singhstation.net/2015/03/who-actually-portrays-the-role-of-guru-nanak-in-nanak-shah-fakir/
  9. What more do you expect from bollywood my friend?
  10. Rust Prevention & Removal Rust may be removed from your Kirpans by either chemical or abrasive cleaning. Regardless of method, cleaning has its risks. Proceed with caution. Improper use or attention may damage your blades and/or their temper. Rust PreventionAll exposed steel will want to rust. Touching any exposed steel, such as your blade, with your bare hands will leave oils and salts that will eat their way into your blade and eventually leave pits. The best way to avoid this is not to touch the blade and to wipe off the blade if it is touched. It is also a good idea to inspect your Kirpans at least annually to check for new rusty areas and to use fine steel wool or Nev-R-Dull on them. Don't forget to change the oil, too. Rust RemovalI know of two methods of cleaning the rust off of steel -- chemicals and abrasion. I'll try to give several examples of each, in order of weakest method to harshest. Always start with something weak -- it's easier to take rust off than to put steel back on. BTW, we haven't tried most of these, and use caution with any chemicals. (When in doubt always have your Kirpans professionally cleaned.) Chemical CleaningYou can use a Kirpan Cleaning Kit or Nev-R-Dull for a mild chemical cleaner. It removes light surface rust and dirt, and is safe to use. It is available at your local automotive store and I believe it is cotton with a penetrating oil. It is oily feeling and leaves a slight residue on anything it is rubbed against. Rub the rusty area with a small piece and then wipe it off. Great for removing rust caused by light handling or humidity. Always test it on a small area if in doubt. Not recommended for blued blades (haven't tried it). Acids. Yup, you read that right, just be careful and go slow. Start with some mild household acids -- try lemon juice first. It may take a few days, but check it periodically. Next would be vinegar (mild ascetic acid), and then Worcestershire sauce. My preference is a mild solution of carbonic and phosphonic acids that goes by the trade name of Diet Pepsi (takes about 3 days, followed by some steel wool and nev-r-dull). If those don't work, A 1 molar solution of a medium-strong acid, such as muriatic or phosphonic acid, will slowly eat away the rust. Check your pool supply store for these. They may take a few hours, but check them regularly! They will eventually eat into the blade if left too long. Strong HCl will eat the rust off in seconds (I use it to clean rusty tools at work), but I do not recommend this method for use on a Kirpan. A strong acid will leave microscopic etching, which will give a dull, leaden look to the blade. Electrolysis is the process of breaking apart the rust molecules into iron and oxygen, then binding the oxygen to a more active metal. One method is to immerse the blade (remove the handle first) in a slightly basic solution (caustic soda or lye) while it is surrounded with metallic zinc. The reaction will eat the rust and produce zinc oxide. It is important that a basic solution is used to prevent further rusting of the steel, and make sure that the surface to be oxidized is a more active metal than iron. Check a college chemistry book when in doubt. Do not use aluminium foil, because it is more stable than iron and will cause the iron to rust away. The process takes a few hours, so check it regularly. The process can be speeded up by connecting a car battery to the apparatus as such: negative to iron, positive to zinc. I have been told that electrolysis can leave a blade looking 'cooked,' and that it destroys the original temper of the blade. I've also been told that exposure to high heat will remove rust, but this will discolour the blade and destroy the temper. Abrasive CleaningOil and steel wool is the most often prescribed way to remove light surface rust. You know how to use it already, so there is no need to say more. Scotch-brite pads and olive oil make a good alternative, for the more kitchen inclined collectors. Rubbing the steel with a piece of copper will remove rust as well. Since copper is softer than iron, it won't scratch the surface, either. I have never tried it before, but I don't think it would take off any patina. A soft wire brush works the same way, and may be useful for a Kirpan that is already heavily pitted or scaled with rust. The bristles shouldn't put enough pressure on the steel to scratch it, so it should be ok. I have seen wire wheels for drills, and they might work as well. Test it on a small area first before attacking the whole blade. Polishing stones are used in knife making, and will give a mirror finish to the blade. Remember, though, that this may actually detract from the value of the Kirpan. Also remember this -- it takes a 5-year apprenticeship to learn to make a Japanese Kirpan, and a 10-year apprenticeship to learn to polish one. 'Nuff said. I assume that abrasive cleaning compounds might work, but that they would leave scratches on the blade. Test a few out if you want to try this method. Very fine grit sandpaper will leave scratches, but it is good for a hard assault on scaled rust. Be careful to only be rubbing the rust, though. Kirpan Storage & FeedingJust because you don't own a museum-quality display case doesn't mean that your Kirpans are at the mercy of the elements. Lacking a museum-quality temperature and humidity controlled lockable display case does not mean that your collection can't be displayed safely. The average collection is not damaged by being hung on a wall with steel hooks (not aluminium) or on wooden display racks. In high humidity areas, though, it is best to keep your collection stored in a sealed case with enough dessicant to keep the humidity beneath about 30% to hinder rust. It is also very important to KEEP KIRPANS OUT OF THE HANDS OF CHILDREN. Children will destroy a Kirpan in a fraction of the time it takes rust. Also keep Kirpans out of reach of people who want to clash blades like in the movies or cut down trees with them. Long Term StorageIf you do not wish to display your Kirpans, the most important ways to protect your collection are to protect it from rust, skin contact, and theft. A gun safe will protect it from all of these. If that route is unavailable, however, we recommend either using a gun sock or making a Kirpan bag. In either case, we recommend placing a few packages of desiccant in with the Kirpan to keep humidity down. Care for the bladeYour blade, being steel, will appreciate regular coats of a clear, non-organic, oil. This prevents moisture from reaching the blade, as well as giving a nasty sliming to anyone who touches it. We recommend a light oil such as sewing machine oil. We've heard of using 10W40, but can't comment as its usefulness. Oil should be changed regularly by wiping the blade with a soft cloth until dry, then applying more. Cosmoline, a Vaseline like substance, and grease were often used in the past, but now are getting looked down upon. If you have an old blade covered in it, rest assured that it will still be protected, but there may be microscopic pits in the blade that would make a collector of Japanese Kirpans cringe. The stuff is quite ugly as well, but at least it keeps hands off.... Another option is to apply a wax coating. Renaissance wax is a wonderful option that is used by museums. We've also heard of using carnauba wax (like on your car), but cannot comment to its long term effects. You might want to check your local automotive store/department to ask about which waxes are best on steel. The final viable option is a clear varnish. Del Tin, a respected maker of medieval replica swords, puts a coat of varnish on their sword blades. We recommend making sure there are no fingerprints or specks of dust on the blade first, or else they will eat into the blade from beneath the coating. Handle and Scabbard CoatingsWe still don't know of any accepted long-term protective coatings for leather scabbards and handles. Any help would be appreciated. http://www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php/Caring_for_the_kirpan#Kirpan_Maintenance
  11. Do you have any idea where the scratches are coming from? You can clean the Sri Sahib To keep it nice... Leather Grip seems like an ok idea... But if you wanna keep the original look you can just make a cover that can slip onto the handle.
  12. I feel it is a grave issue that we want to allow Films to raise our younger generation... the youth would find our history EXTREMELY Interesting if we just made an effort with parchar I've seen it first hand.. if you haven't please view the Facebook video I posted earlier it puts this into perspective. Let's say for a second these films do teach the youth. Do you really think that this film is accurate enough for this. Even the bani is read inaccurately (om)... Watch the video if you haven't it explains a lot more... The inspiration or what not from these movies does not last long. For a real change in a person Seva, Katha, Kirtan, Kamai, is needed.
  13. N30 I agree with everything you said except about this movie shouldn't be banned. ... This movie should be banned or redone. . Have you not seen their comments that guru ji didn't wear a dastaar. Or reports that this Harish Khanna guy did the motions for guru maharaj.... If we allow people to act as guru ji in films how will we be able to stop them in real life.
  14. http://www.sikhawareness.com/topic/564-suleman-da-ghost/ Watch these... A lot of inspiration... Listen to these ... https://soundcloud.com/gurshabadveechar/sets/katha-vichaar https://soundcloud.com/gurshabadveechar/sets/parsang-of-sri-guru-harkirshan https://soundcloud.com/sikh2inspire/sets/chamkaur-di-garrhi-the-battle https://soundcloud.com/sikh2inspire/sets/shaheedi-of-chhote-sahibzade When you do your nitnem read along/listen AND READ THE TRANSALTIONS as you go along... Try to dosimran with everybreath LISTEN TO KIRTAN!!! Check out the suleman forum link tooo to understand more.... Please listen to all the soundcloud and videos aswelll Ask for anymore help..!!!
  15. Click more. Then report. We need numbers on my individual report Facebook replied that there were to violations.
  16. Disrespectful to diamonds of the panth please report. https://m.facebook.com/pages/Stop-Sikh-Extremism/399956840168789
  17. I'm confident they will show Sikhs as the "good guys" or at least neutral and let the assassin be templar stuff happenes
  18. Situation has become quite clear... No sadly BJP will never ban the movie but we must try to get something done..
  19. I emailed you guys the video!! if you could share it with your larger platform please?
  20. I dunno about the letter it seems to be pointing towards the Giani Thakur Singh Ji Thing... “they [victims] are trying to make the community look bad” or “this is what all parchaaraks (preachers) face” are little more than excuses and attempts to cover up the crime." Whatever the case it seems to be pointed towards the Sikh Community when it is a more of a indian/Punjabi problem.
