  1. The stories made up, you expect to find actual news in The Sun. From Times OnlineMay 29, 2008 IVF twins - NHS trust disputes claims (AP) The couple, who have not been named, underwent IVF in India Philippe Naughton Is IVF tourism a good idea? Reports that a British couple abandoned twin girls after IVF treatment in India because they were the wrong gender have been disputed by an NHS trust. The Sun reported that the mother, 59, and father, 72, who are Indian-born British citizens, travelled to India for fertility treatment that would not have been allowed in the UK because of their age. The babies were born by Caesarean section in Wolverhampton’s New Cross Hospital a fortnight ago after which - the newspaper reported - the parents, who have not been named, told medical staff that they were of "the wrong sex". The Sun said that the husband then asked medics how long it would be before his wife was fit enough to fly back to India for more IVF treatment in the hope of getting a boy to continue the family name. But today NHS West Midlands, the strategic health authority involved, disputed the report. In a statement it confirmed the details of the twins' birth and the fact that they had been transferred to a Birmingham hospital closer to their parents' home. "The parents are visiting their daughters whilst they are being cared for in hospital and are attentive to their needs," the statement said. "For patient confidentiality reasons, the identity of the family and the babies are not being disclosed. The identity of the hospital is also not being disclosed. "We are not aware of a referral to social services." A spokeswoman for the authority refused to give any further details or to say how regularly the parents had been visiting the babies since their birth. The Sun had reported that the parents had not visited them at all. A spokeswoman for New Cross Hospital said: "We can confirm a pair of twins were born at New Cross Hospital. They were healthy and well. They were born here because the maternity (facility) where the parents were living was busy, so a few days later they were transferred to a Birmingham hospital, where the parents were living." Both Birmingham Council’s social services department and West Midlands Police said that they were not involved. Countries such as India are known to display a cultural preference for sons. An investigation by the BBC Asian Network last year showed that between 1990 and 2005 almost 1,500 fewer girls were born to Indian mothers in England and Wales than would have been expected for that group. John Paul Maytum, spokesman for the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), which licenses and monitors IVF clinics, said that treatment in the UK was regulated to ensure babies’ welfare. He said: "Under UK law, before anybody is given treatment, there’s a requirement that the doctor must take account of the welfare of any children born. You’re making sure that the children will go into a safe and loving environment. If the doctor has any doubts about that then they shouldn’t give treatment - that’s part of the British system." He added that sex selection of embryos for social reasons was illegal in the UK, and surveys showed that 80 per cent of people were opposed to the practice. IVF treatment on the NHS is subject to guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (Nice), which recommend a mother judged eligible should be offered up to three cycles of IVF if she is between 23 and 39-years-old at the time of treatment.
  2. If we are more conscious of our thoughts and our mind it is easier to make a change and be open to other people and differences. To see the oneness and sameness in each and every person in spite of any perceived differences. The first step to breaking a habit is to be aware of it and conscious when you are doing it. Just because someone practices or does something differently than you doesn’t make the other person’s way wrong or incorrect. We all relate to things based on our own experience and what is right for me isn’t necessarily right for someone else. Don’t judge or criticize people (as hard as that may be since it is human nature to do so). Instead use this energy to work on your self and become a better person. None of us are perfect. Each of us have more than enough things to work on in our own life.
  3. Years ago Shanti Kaur questioning Harbhajan Singh about the practice of having the Palay (the shawl) wrapped over the Mans shoulder, and the woman holding it from behind as the man leads the woman. She thought this was some old non Sikh practice and was wondering why we do this. Especially from the aspect of why the woman had to be in the back and following the man (being subservient). The first answer that Yogi Bhajan gave Shanti Kaur was, Well, someone has to go first.(chuckle) But he was just testing her, and of course she wasnt satisfied with that answer. When she pushed the point, he replied, It is all in your point of view. You see the woman following the man subserviently. What I see is that marriage is a carriage in which the husband and wife ride to Infinity together. The horse is in front and the driver sits behind and holds the reins. He was teaching her that people filter things through their own frame of reference and that it is not “this or that but that there are many levels of meaning.

  11. would you braid it everyday? or leave it braided for several days as it is common in Afro-Caribbean cultures. If it is the latter than yes it is not allowed, since you cant comb it everyday, but if you do it everyday , as many parents do to their young children before tying a joora then i dont see whats wrong.
  12. Good video by Harbhajan Singh regarding this topic. Extract; "Having nothing is not richness, having evrything and then not being falsely proud, that is humble, We are the sons and daughters of Guru Gobind singh i do not accept this nonsence that we are not going to be decorated with beautiful things, we shall be and there no question about it"
  13. This is a picture ofhim. His Kesh have been platted and tied into a Joora. Ive never known a nine year old who can tie there own Joora, and very few men can, perhaps he has been living with some women??
