    I think he is aiming for something like the Gideons where there is a copy in every hotel room , of course not thinking it through: that people given free stuff do not usually hold a mental value of that thing at all , and are more likely to disrespect it. Think about all those leaflets iven out at nagar kirtans where do they end up mostly ? on the floor, in the bin .

    Supporting knowledge is good but maintaining satkar is utmost so virtual granths on websites are better options . No paper waste, no torn or dirty pages , can cross-link themes by making it a hyperlinked document so learning is optimised .

     

    This is what hurts me most. I have seen the same on many occasions, and some of these leaflets have Guru Sahibans' images on them.

    Because the Koran and the Bible are just books brother. Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is not a book, but our living Guru, far too precious to be handed out to just anyone - especially given the current rampancy of beadbi against Gurbani. There is no telling how these people would use them. 

    Your concern is a just one though. Parchaar amongst non-Gurmukhi speaking peoples is undoubtedly made more difficult by the fact that we can't thoughtlessly circulate our scriptures as dawa men and evangelists do with theirs. The solution is to preach Sikhi by word of mouth. Don't have to become a parchaarak, just tell your friends and loved ones about it. 

    I agree.

       So ever since I got to the age of i think 16-17 I've stopped looking at bani and paath (prayer) -- I don't know why, I used do loads! of nitnem and look into bani. I'm now 19 and still not even touching nitnem or reading bani... I very disappointed in myself I used do loads and me and my dad would have debates about things and get told about stuff I've not even heard about. I think its got something to do with Kaam... and I'm not going to lie I do find myself... doing that thing quite a lot... But I can't help I've even done paath on a random occasion to stop but Kaam keeps grabbing me by the neck -- I don't want to do this anymore and just go back to when I was 15 doing loads of paath and studying even deeper into sikhi. I don't why I've stopped its like I forgot about sikhi. Although, there are a couple things that I sort of disagree on sikhi ever since I got to 19 years old (if you are keen on knowing what I'll send you a message because I don't want to share this out to every and become a bad person any way), I also think thats why I'm not doing paath -- because of that. Any suggestions? On what I could do or what could possibly be the problem. I know that I'm 19 and I'm indulging in the wrong stuff (Kaam related) I also think that could be a massive problem... but seriously I just want that life back when I was doing paath and reading bani at young age. 

       All in all, I'm trying my absolute best now -- trying to squeeze paath. I just can't see myself moving any closer to light -- what it looks is a sikh boy on a path at a stand-still and not moving towards Guru's light. :/

    This is exactly what happened to me a while ago.  I was blessed with the Amrit Daat whne I was in my early teens. My spiritual journey was fairly smooth in the beginning but it came to a sudden halt after roughly three years when I started asking questions on a lot of concepts in sikhism.  There was no one around to give me satisfactory answers.  It was a very painful journey for me and even more painful not to do my paat and kirtan, but at the same time I couldn't find anyone to motivate me enough again.  Anyways, after a  few years' gap, suddenly I was brought back on the Path by Waheguru ji's Kirpa. It is still difficult to stick to it, but I carry on with what I can manage.  It is not easy, but I will never ever stop following sikhi and the dicipline it has taught me completly, come what may.  So, please, don't loose hope.  Just carry on with what you can manage and everything will be fine.  Please have faith in sikhi and Waheguru.  Good luck.

    Why dont we mass produce copies of the sggs in english copies and hand them to people who are interested in Sikhism?

     

    You always see muslims handing out free copys of the koran in english and christians doing the same.  Yet all we do is talk but no action. 

    ....But we don't touch our Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji or our Gutka Sahibs with dirty hands.  They are always kept covered with beautiful Rumullaas and handled with clean hands.

    You are not  fit for this forum as you have neither the sense nor the manners to be here.

    You must be really leading a sad life of an uncultured, uncouth person who the society shuns.

    Go back to your sad hole and rot there.

     

     

    Okay...You are about the ONLY forum user on this forum that has the kindest words for everyone else on this forum.  Thank you very much for your kindness and your kind words.

    ...muscleman and silverSingh,

    Shush! May I remind you both that this topic is about hurricane Mathew and not your usual mud slinging, bickering, smashing of dinner plates, your best set of bone China or porcelain! Good heavens, stop it right now!

    Some people just like to argue and accuse others for no reason whatsoever.

    I don't promote interfaith marriage. .i just don't see your issue. My beloved sikhi is a broad beautiful thing. . Not limited by narrow mindedness. .

    Listen to the Laavan Bani and  reflect on what the Bani says. You don't need to get uptight about the whole thing. You are annoying. The good thing is that it has English translation.  Read the  Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji too for extra blessings. You don't  have to listen to all and sundry for different interpretations of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.  Different people will give you their own interpretations. Do your own khoj, don't let them confuse you.  They are not the custodians of Gurus' teachings, we all are. You can also buy shabdarth version of the SGGS.

    I will leave it gursikhs like yourself, dr gurnam singh ji, davinder singh panesar, bhai jagraj singh, bhai sukha singh (SAS) to address those issues in uk and if all this mess from UK... start flying over north west here will chat up world sikh organization- offical canadian sikhs body to come up with some meditation/de-radicalization programs.

    If you are going to say something why not say it in a way so we can all have an idea what are you going on about? I didn't quite get it.
