  1. Gurdwaras Agree on Anand Karaj At a meeting held at Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara, Southall, Gurdwaras today agreed on a number of issues regarding a consistent approach towards booking of Anand Karaj in Gurdwaras. Sikh Council UK facilitated a meeting in partnership with Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara, Southall of Gurdwara parbhandaks to discuss protocols regarding Anand Karaj ceremonies. Over 180 representatives of Gurdwaras from across the UK attended in person with written submissions from many other Gurdwaras, organisations and individuals. In a session lasting over three hours and with contributions from over 50 representatives decisions were reached on several resolutions by consensus. Resolutions agreed allow Gurdwaras to develop a consistent approach towards booking Anand Karaj ceremonies. The meeting began with Sikh Council UK Secretary General circulating and announcing details of proposals that had been put forward and that were to be debated. Resolutions agreed include: That all Sikhs, whether those involved in Gurdwara managements or those who have been involved in protests are all ultimately working to achieve the same ends. That only a Sikh in accordance with the Sikh Rehat Maryada definition is allowed to be married in accordance with the Anand Karaj ceremony That a person of non-Sikh origin who accepts the Sikh faith should demonstrate formal acceptance of this by including Singh or Kaur in their name.That any person of any community which has a historical tradition of following many tenets of the Sikh Faith and regularly engage in religious ceremonies and contribute to the Gurdwaras should be accepted for the Anand Karaj ceremony without question.Gurdwaras agree there should be put in place appropriate processes, procedures and resources to allow for education and reflection by couples prior to Anand Karaj booking being confirmed. Sikh Council UK is requested to coordinate the development of appropriate education processes, procedures and resources for use by Gurdwaras. Sikh Council UK will involve organisations and individuals including youth organisations in this developmental work. Those Sikhs who are involved in protests at Gurdwaras are requested to refrain from any further protests for a period of six months to allow education processes, programmes and resources to be developed and implemented by Gurdwaras. Sikh Council UK will continue working with Gurdwaras, organisations and individuals to resolve community issues through dialogue in the best interests of the community. ----------------------------------------- Gurinder Singh Josan Spokesperson and Head of Political Engagement Sikh Council UK E: gurinders.josan@sikhcounciluk.org W: http://www.sikhcounciluk.org Heres A Video Of The Events aswel https://www.facebook.com/kul.singh.758/videos/10156047897495354/?hc_location=ufi
  2. PAKISTAN GURDWARA COMMITTEE TO ABIDE BY NANAKSHAHI CALENDAR : SHAM SINGH Amritsar, Oct. 31, 2013 The Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (PSGPC) will celebrate 'Gurpurabs' and observe martyrdom days of all Gurus besides other important events of the Sikh history in accordance with the amended Nanakshahi calendar, officially recognised as the Sikh calendar by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC). This assurance was given by PSGPC president Sham Singh over the telephone from Pakistan to SGPC chief Avtar Singh Makkar on Wednesday. The SGPC claimed that Sham Singh called up Makkar and thanked him for presenting a 'siropa' and sword to him through Ramesh Singh Arora, the first Sikh MP of Pakistan. Arora, who was on a weeklong tour of India, returned through the Wagah checkpost. The PSGPC had been celebrating all important Sikh historical events as per the traditional Bikrami calendar. This had caused confusion over the pilgrimage of Sikh jathas from India to Pakistan. *HT Media Ltd.
