  1. I dun think Yudh is happening this year in toronto (in august), the location is changed and i believe another city in canada is hosting it and i believe its calgary. If i get more info on this ill post it here...

  3. Congrats Singhhh !!!!! Please post some pics here
  4. Vaheguruu ji ka khalsa, Vaheguruu ji ki fatehh I apologize if this has already been posted. A great documentary by the US Department of Justice on SIKHS !!! The documentary is titled: "On Common Ground - Law Enforcement Training Video on Sikhism" http://www.usdoj.gov/crs/video/ocg-video.htm I believe it is pretty well done! Please give some feedback.
  5. Agreed ... never believe media to be 100% accurate ! That documentary on 9/11 was an eye opener :D
  6. As long as people like them dont bring the dancing and drinks to nagar kirtans .. its cool and they can keep doing their stuff in them halls ! At the same time we must continue to hold sikhi prachaar in events/kirtans on these days !!!
  7. thats a great link.. im guessing those kirtan files are not available for download? (ie.mp3 format?)
  8. Vaheguruuu .. Singh has raised a little over $1000 at the moment and his goal is $5000 .. still a way to go but with the help of sangat he can do it !!! I saw other runners that are also fundraising have raised over $10000+ and some even $25000+ ... so $5000 for him shouldnt be a problem, lets all help him achieve his goal ! He has asked $100 from each and everyone, that is a request, however anyone is happy to make any other amount of donation :D
  9. (ADMIN - sticky please :D ) Vaaheguruu ji ka khalsa, Vaheguruu ji ki fatehh Please help Amritpal Singh in achieving his goal. May guru saahib bless his seva! Read below and please send this to all your friends and family ! ------------------- A message from Amritpal Kapoor amkar3@hotmail.com. Hi, On June 20 - 22, 2008, I'll be participating in a 2-day major cycling event called The Ride to Conquer Cancer benefiting The Princess Margaret, one of the top 5 cancer research hospitals in the world. I'll be cycling over 200 kilometres that weekend, from Toronto to Niagara Falls, with thousands of other Riders. All the proceeds will go to The Princess Margaret to support cancer research, treatment, and services. The Princess Margaret is Canada's leading comprehensive institution devoted to cancer research and care, and the work they're doing is leading-edge. I've agreed to raise at least $2,500, but I've set my personal goal to $5000.00. So here's where you come in, because I need your help to do that. Could you please consider making a donation of $100? Use the link at the bottom of this email to go visit my webpage, and please take the time to support me. Please keep in mind the commitment I'm making to end this heartbreaking disease and the personal efforts I'll have to make to accomplish this. When I say "heartbreaking," here's what I mean: according to the National Cancer Institute of Canada, over 153,100 new cases of cancer and 70,400 deaths from cancer were estimated to occur in 2006. Men outnumber women for new cases by 5% and mortality by 11%. That's why I'm riding. To do something BIG about cancer. I hope that you'll share this incredible adventure with me by supporting me in my fundraising efforts. Thank you in advance for your generosity! Sincerely, Amrit Click here to visit my personal page.

  10. I have a question.. has anyone been to a wedding that happened in the evening? Is that possible? How about a wedding that turns into an all-night raensbayee? :D
  11. Vaaheguruu ji ka khalsa, Vaheguruu ji ki fatehh Veer Tejdeep Singh Jees speech on Religion and how it can protect the environment from the Sikhi perspective. This was at University of Waterloo, November 2007, World Religions Conference. http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=4965487552625355862
  12. Vaheguruu .. Bhen that is a tough decision to make but at the end of it you need to decide for yourself what is important. Both are important for you so you must take ways in convincing your parents, your dad, in a good manner. They will give in. Show them WHY your dastaar is important to you, that its a part of you, and you are not ready to take it off just like that. There are other bibian that wear dastaar in that sangat (or probably some that want to but cant cuz of the same situation) talk to some of them and see how they adjusted with the situation. And hopefully, guru saahibs kirpa, more bhenjees will start coming into sikhi by seeing role models such as yourself... thats how it starts! In terms of kirtan/keski, Parents cant just take that away frm you. Explain to them the meaning of a dastaar, that theres not just a 'male aspect' to it. Educate them, but do it with an approach they wont get too iritated with the situation. With pyaar. My advice in summary, do not give into either one. Keep both your crown and your sangat. Do not leave either one. bhul chuka maaph
  13. Parents can not force the actions on their kids but they can advise and teach them. That is what sikhi is about. Its not about forcing your thoughts on anyone else, its about being a learner and showering those learnings on others, NOT by force ! When we need to learn about certain concepts we should follow our gurus teachings. Perfect example is Guru Ramdas Jee. His eldest son was Prithi Chand who was stuck up in social and worldly affairs. He did not understand the basic teachings Sikhi. It dont mean Guru Saahib went on and force his teachings on his son. But rather guru saahib lived by example. Passed on guruship to his youngest son, Guru Arjun Dev jee. I agree with what Heera Singh is trying to say. Its her life, and its her OWN actions which is gona affect her jeevan. Its her choice is she wishes to persue her life in Sikhi or in any other lifestyle.
  14. Two RARE files of Bhai Manpreet Singh Jee :s http://www.sikhvibes.com/kirtan/index.php?...ee+%28Kanpur%29
  15. - take a break - do not study continous number of hours, play ps3 like singh said if you have to - or get out of the house - play some sports - goto the gym - watch some tv - read up on some posts online - if you cant study alone - call up your classmates and study there - change your location of study (home/library/school) - all of the above and remember, read some extra bani (not cuz you have to, or that it will save you during exam time but rather cuz you want to learn more about guru saahib) - do some extra banis - listen to kirtan - if you know how to play vaja, sit down and start playing random shabads that pop up in your head just some random points that shud help :s
  16. Theres also another thing known as 'gupt' seva. One does not know nothing about another person and the amount of 'seva' that person does. Who knows what state that person is at. They can be doing recording seva and other in the FOREFRONT and in the background doing all that seva you have listed in the background, in gupt. Im not talking about myself.. I am a paapi, vud gunayghaar... forever at the feet at those gursikhs who live a life of gursikhi daily .... I still think the rules kinda harsh. Its all good.
  17. Thanks for your points everyone. I will stick with my reasoning to believe that this rule will not help the 'problems'. Ok what about kirtan audio updates? Usually when a kirtan/raensbayee/smaagam happens, sangat are looking for recordings a few days after the program... For example, lets take a site, akj.org ... If they put a smaagam/raensbayee recordings and a sevadaars posts the update here, and a week later another smaagam is available up online their, and they would like to post the update here for sangat to know... what is wrong here ?? Its not advertising, its clearly notifying sangat of keertan recordings. Maybe this will limit the amount of posts labelled "when is so and so keertan recording going to be up online" ... I agree with the event points. That shud be limited. "so the decision was made to bring traffic to the site instead of take it to other sites" ......... i dun know what to say to this... question arrises why !? this is no business that we are doing... this is seva as long its in accordance to sikhi.
  18. Vaaheguruuu ji ka khalsa, Vaheguruu ji ki fatehh (Admin - please keep this up for discussion) So i happen to come across a new rule on the forum about bumping threads/posting links to new updates on sites ! http://www.sikhsangat.com/index.php?showtopic=33532 Yes this is a discussion board and by bumping new updates on other SIKHI sites is not "advertising". It is Sevaa. Sangat want to know where the NEW keertan links going up on sites. They want to know where the videos/pics are up. Any new articles that are up on other sites. Once a month !? Are you kidding?? Theres keertans happening every week. I think its the sangats right to know updates on an external website, whenever the updates come. This is a forum to access such information. A forum is neutral base for access to ALL other sikhi links/sites. Implacing this rule is bringing in much unneccessary bias. There is nothing wrong with 'bumping' a thread. Not everyone reads the thread at a specific time. Im sure EVERYONE on this forum has been guilty of putting the words 'bump' in a thread. Its only to get the word out, again, on a SIKHI matter let it be updates or an event coming up. This 'rule' is not a solution to the problems that you guys are having. If there is an overflow of threads being made, talk to that specific individual. Im sure its not everyone but probably a few who make 10 threads a day about certain updates. I would like to bring this out cuz i am one person that enjoys having updates daily of new keertan/video/article updates on sites. There are many individuals on this forum that are committed to seva of posting up updates on sikhi audio/video etx.. do not take this away. Just my personal views... sangat needs to know about this and able to discuss... please share your views :s
