As most of us Canadians probably know the new movie starring Sunny Deol, entitled 'Jo Bole So Nihal' will hit theatres this coming Friday, May 13th, 2005!

I wake up this morning pretty early and go downstairs and see my mum watchin 'Eye on Asia' :) talking about the new movie coming out May 13th this coming Friday. Watching the trailer I wuz pretty disturbed! no.gif Looking at the still I attached I think you guyz will realize what wuz so disturbing about this movie.

Are there any Sikh organizations that us youth can get together with and make a simple peaceful protest, you guyz know wha I mean? I'm sure im not the only one who wuz disturbed that something so religious is being associated with things that have nothing to do with Sikhi.

I think there are organizations like COSS (Canadian Organization of Sikh Students), Sikh Students Associations in many Universities, etc. around Toronto Area (thas where im from blush.gif ) that could probably help me organize an event to stop this movie from playing in the theatres. Main thing, PEACEFUL!

The movie will be playing at Albion Cinemas, and Woodside Cinemas this FRIDAY MAY 13th, 2005!

I ask that the youth help organize an event cuz if we allow such things to happen, then what message r the youth getting that r not so educated in Sikhi? They will think its ok to do the things that will be displayed in the movie. (wear skimpy clothes for the gurls, and the not so catchy slogan 'no if, no but, sirf jatt'. That will encourage the youth to go more into the caste system which Sikhi did away with.

Please think about this, because its not a small thing. I may be going a little overbaord but it hurts to see something so sacred to our religion being associated with things that have nuttin to do wit Sikhi. nonono.gif

why dont we first speak with the ones that advertise the hindi movies the most. Eye on Asia... tell them we are not happy with this. Complain to them and ask them to have our views shared on their program aswell.

I will try to speak with some cinemas (Albion Cinemas) and see if we can ban the movie from playing here. Call your cinemas the ones closest to u and see if we can do something about it k? if not then.... we'll have to try something else.... but lets try to start with that

I'm from Toronto as well and am really angry with the film!! :cool: We must try to set up a protest or something to let other Sikhs be aware of the manipulation that is going on. I've already told my parents that if they ever brought the movie home, I'll happily throw it out! Maybe we should try talking with Darshan Sahota first, if he doesn't agree, then maybe we can stage a protest infront of Albion mall or something!! We have to get the message across since much of the Punjabi media isn't. PLease feel free to PM me.

    • Definitely the Guru Sahibs would be a heavier Scriptures to handle. Dasam Granth is more towards Bir Rass, Guru Gobind Singh showed his Greatness (of course, they would never say this) by separating his own Baania.  And the BIGGEST test of all?? Do we try and read Dasam Granth, Understand n show respect like we do to SGGS? Or... Do we QUESTION it? Guru Gobind Singh Ji is testing us. 
    • My wife will be going for an MRI scan next week but her Kara won’t physically come off.  Is there any way the mri scan can be done with the Kara still on?  The alternative is we will have to try to saw it off before the scan.  
    • was researching this and came back to this thread. Also found an older thread:    
    • Net pay after taxes. If you don't agree, think about this: If you were a trader and started off in China with silk that cost 100 rupees and came to India, and you had to pay total 800 rupees taxes at every small kingdom along the way, and then sold your goods for 1000 rupees, you'd have 100 rupees left, right? If your daswandh is on the gross, that's 100 rupees, meaning you have nothing left. Obviously, you owe only 10% of 100, not 10% of 1000. No, it's 10% before bills and other expenses. These expenses are not your expenses to earn money. They are consumption. If you are a business owner, you take out all expenses, including rent, shop electricity, cost of goods sold, advertising, and government taxes. Whatever is left is your profit and you owe 10% of that.  If you are an employee, you are also entitled to deduct the cost of earning money. That would be government taxes. Everything else is consumption.    
    • No, bro, it's simply not true that no one talks about Simran. Where did you hear that? Swingdon? The entire Sikh world talks about doing Simran, whether it's Maskeen ji, Giani Pinderpal Singh, Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi, or Sants. So what are you talking about? Agreed. Agreed. Well, if every bani were exactly the same, then why would Guru ji even write anything after writing Japji Sahib? We should all enjoy all the banis. No, Gurbani tells you to do Simran, but it's not just "the manual". Gurbani itself also has cleansing powers. I'm not saying not to do Simran. Do it. But Gurbani is not merely "the manual". Reading and singing Gurbani is spiritually helpful: ਪ੍ਰਭ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਭਾਖਿਆ ॥  ਗਾਵਹੁ ਸੁਣਹੁ ਪੜਹੁ ਨਿਤ ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੈ ਤੂ ਰਾਖਿਆ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The Lord's Bani and the words are the best utterances. Ever sing hear and recite them, O brother and the Perfect Guru shall save thee. Pause. p611 Here Guru ji shows the importance of both Bani and Naam: ਆਇਓ ਸੁਨਨ ਪੜਨ ਕਉ ਬਾਣੀ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿ ਲਗਹਿ ਅਨ ਲਾਲਚਿ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਪਰਾਣੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The mortal has come to hear and utter Bani. Forgetting the Name thou attached thyself to other desires. Vain is thy life, O mortal. Pause. p1219 Are there any house manuals that say to read and sing the house manual?
