  1. Youth Show - Sikh Channel 840

    in WHAT'S HAPPENING?

    Posted

    VahegurooJiKaKhalsaVahegurooJiKiFateh!

    I love this show! Best show on ANY sikh channel.

    Please cover the following:

    BIG BIG CRUCIAL point- Parents need to check out what their kids are doing on the net! No way should anyone under 16 have a facebook or msn! Soo much dodgy stuff on there...its my opinion fb,msn etc encourages this through random adds etc. Or if they do they need to keep tabs on what their kids are doing on the net, who they are talking to etc. I'm not just talkin about predators I mean people of their own ages such as members of certain other faiths *cough* trying it on with our girls. Do parents know that everyday certain muslim boys send out add requests on fb and msn to sikh girls they don't even know? Giving them access to pictures, sensitive information, who their friends are, and most importantly intimate, up close contact.

    They use this to get into relationships with them.

    Please cover the need for the teaching of Sikhi to children/teenagers in your show. Alot of parents don't bother teaching anything to their kids, thats why some of the youth we have is just nuts and has no self respect or respect for Sikhi.

    Or if the parents do teach anything its basically superstition/punjabi culture and its the combination of the way they enforce this so strictly and just the actual stupidity of what they enforce that ends up turning kids away from Sikhi as they believe all the rubbish they are told is Sikhi.

    Also, please bring up the point of the need to keep kids involved in some sort of sangat from a very early age, Sikh youths need to be the social group for other Sikh youths. Just teaching principles alone to kids won't necessarily defend them from being influenced by people in school (esp in areas where there are less sikhs and more of other particular groups), their life must revolve around Sikhi.

  5. Birmingham-Kaljug?

    in GUPT FORUM

    Posted

    Personally I have struggled with living in East London, I find the Sikhs 100% unsupportive, since living here for about 12 years and only EVER going out to Gurdwaras and no where else, and even after taking Amrit and being a practising Sikh, I still have no friends here. It is so sad that we cannot 'love' each other and constantly are suspicious, ever easy to gossip rather than support, it is so sad because I have seen so so so many people come to Gurdwaras in times of need and sadness only to leave, afarid of gossip. Why can't we pray for each other like do in churches and wish everyone happiness, instead of always being suspicous and indulging in gossip.

    I would have sent a pm but not everyone reads them, so apologies for being off topic. However, as for East London sangat please do come to Friday Simran sessions at Singh Sabha Gurdwara Seven Kings (next to homebase), you can meet gursikhs here as well as get laha! They take place every week from 7:30pm-9:00pm. There is also a simran session at karamsar gurdwara sahib ilford every thursday 8:30pm to 9:15pm. Sangat is smaller in East London than other places but its still good! Last saturday of every month there is a keertan darbar at 7 kings singh sabha aswell.

    <self edit> Please let me know if you want to know anything more about Sangat in East London.

    Back to topic! As for Bham most of the sangat I have ever met from there seems to be really chardikala, I am envious of the amount of programmes that take place in Bham. As an outside observer it has seemed to be a live place for Sikhi and sangat.

    I may be wrong but I'd say look at things in proportion. Percentage wise there is probably the same amount of 'dodgy stuff' that takes place in all sangats in all cities, its just that there is so very much more sangat in bham that obviously in proportion to the good stuff the bad stuff will be quite large compared to in other places so you notice it more, but really its probably the same ratio.

    Meat, Egg And Seafood Eaters Watch This!

    in POLITICS | LIFESTYLE

    Posted

    why should just meat eaters watch this? why shouldnt every human watch this? Is compassion limited to veggies only?

    Do meat eaters enjoy cruelty to animals per se?

    Singhstah, if you had put this video up as a video to help introduce compassion in farming you would have a good point. putting it up to try and make out meat eaters as having no compassion just shows you to be a very stunted individual who should not be a moderator of any forum.

    I think you are looking a little too deep into the title. It should by no means be interpreted to mean that I am saying compassion is limited to vegetarians or even that only meat eaters should watch it. Simply that this is certainly of extra importance to those who do eat meat as they may wish to re-evaluate their dietary choices upon watching the video. Neither have I tried to shy away from the important point raised by the exposure of the practices employed by the milk industry i.e also of importance to vegetarians such as myself.

    Although cruelty to animals may not be the 'intention' of meat eaters, there is no doubt that murder is the basis of the meat industry. The video clearly highlights the horrid cruelty of the entire process from birth to death of the animals and fish, so no matter what is in the minds' of the meat eaters, their enjoyment is in fact dependent on cruelty to animals, per se. There is no escaping that.

    As for your comments towards me as a moderator, I will bear what you have said in mind however holding the position of a moderator does not strip me of my right to an opinion. Aside from actual moderation duties not everything I do on Sikhsangat is as part of my capacity as a moderator.

  21. Earphones For The Tube

    in POLITICS | LIFESTYLE

    Posted

    Can anyone recommend any earphones that let you clearly hear your mp3 player while on the tube? At the moment I have a sony mp3 player and just use the earphones that came with it. With them I can only just about hear very loud keertan recordings at full volume, however want to be able to hear it properly as well as listen to bani recitation.

    thanks.

  23. Re-Taking Amrit

    in GURBANI | SAKHIAN | HISTORY

    Bhai SunSingh Jeo,

    Thank you for a wonderful and informative post!

    Whatever you have mentioned makes a lot of sense. And you are right in emphasizing the need to take Gurmantra ONLY from Punj-Pyare. The second aspect of Naam drirr - which is basically the technique, logically speaking, one should be able to get the guidance from anywhere.

    However, I always wonder, why some people or jathas keep it so secretive. Shouldn't there be massive prachar of it, instead? That means, either our assumption of the above is incorrect, or there is not a healthy attitude by some jathas!

    Can you or anyone else please support our following assumptions by Gurbani or any other way:

    1. Naam Drirr is just a technique of doing Naam Simran - and can be taken from anyone?

    2. Main thing is Gurmantra...even if one doesn't get Naam Drirr, he/she can always take the guidance from any Mahapurush/books, etc...No need to go pesh to Punj Pyaare?

    Thanks in advance!

    JpSingh jeeo, I am not SunSingh but as someone who has recieved naam drirr, please see the personal message i have sent you.
