Yep Ive seen the pics just want to say enough love and respect and big up to the sevadars/sevadar at Ekta One keep doing the seva you already are. Top Dogg :e:

I think the march was excellent, alot of the non - Sikh public that day took alot of interest of what was going and once explained to why this march/rememberance was taking place they were taken back :TH: . The turn out was very low compared to last year because I think this was partly down to the, the lasts years 1984 March being the 20th Anniversary, I probs wrong but hey. no.gif

Just a few short questions I wanted to ask the sangat:

How many of you where there, how many people from your area/gurudwara (What area are you from)?

Also is there anyone on this forum who represents Sikh Fed...Becuase last year it seemed to be organised alot better and that open roof london double decker :TH: with that massive 1984 (Sikh fed poster) made a massive impact where was is this year? ohmy.gif

i heard that this year sikh fed was not alone in organising the event therefore did not have the majority input to what went on

also i agree last year was totally hectic compared to this year, but from 2003 i can remember my local Gurdwara having organised 2 coaches but only managing to fill out one, last year was crazy, this year we hired three coaches but managed to fill 4 which was good because it shows last year had a huge impact on many people

personally i think advertising was left to late this year, last year we had ample time to target unis and colleges before term time broke out for exams

we have to remember though it is not just about turning up to a march once a year... it's an ongoing struggle we have to face;

please visit www.shrg.org and see what Sikh human rights group is doing - namely "Target 10,000" http://www.sikhsangat.com/index.ppa?showtopic=11707

also please send your details to moving_forward@hotmail.com for more details on how you can help and make a difference and not let the injustices suffered by our Sikhs be for no reason

also wish to thank ektaone.com for their seva, may Guru ji bless you with the ability to continue your good work :TH:

This is what I wrote on Sikh Sangat on 31 May 2005

It would be great if the numbers could approach anything like the numbers last year.

Last year the Sikh Federation (UK) organised many of the activities - open top coach, big banners on the coach, PA system during the route, banners for coaches travelling South, around 40 other large banners, inviting politicians to speak, dealing with the mainstream media etc. The Sikh Youth gave tremendous support and took on the "coffin" project, black balloons, encouraged the youth to attend etc.

The so-called organisers from the FSO (other than the Sikh Federation) were marginalised by the strong turnout from the youth. They reacted negatively in the press after the event against the Sikh Federation and the youth.

This year the FSO leaders (less the Sikh Federation) are guaranteed to make a b**** up of the stage. However, the Sikh Federation (UK) and the youth should turn up in numbers with plenty of literature to distribute to make sure our message reaches non-Sikhs.

It would be easy to say - told you so . . .

The Sikh Federation (UK), Young Sikhs and the Sikh youth will be organising a rally in central London on Sunday 30 October 2005 to mark the 21st anniversary of the anti-Sikh pogroms. The programme will be entirely in English. We must show how it should be done - the FSO (less the Sikh Federation) must not be allowed again to have such a poor showing on the stage.

      Traveling in Punjab independently and safely (need good advice)

      By BhForce · Posted

      Umm, that's totally irrational, bro. There are plenty of prakash-dara Singhs in Punjab (less than we'd like, but still plenty). No one cares that you are sabat soorat. It isn't 1986. You can walk around in chola, kurta-pajama, or jeans. Whatever. If you want the look @dallysingh101 is referring to, just go into a cheap clothing shop (not a Western-style mall) and buy some shirts for 250 rupees or a track suit for 2000 rupees. You'll get the cheap stuff made in some sweatshop in Bombay.

      Concept of Sin

      By MokhamSingh · Posted

      The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…

      Concept of Sin

      By BhForce · Posted

      I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
