Spirituality Shopper


Recommended Posts

Presented by Olympic gold-medallist Jonathan Edwards, Spirituality Shopper offers non-religious members of the public the opportunity to find a spiritual answer to a big problem in their lives.

Each episode identifies four different spiritual practices taken from the UK's leading old and new religions to help the individuals change their outlook and unlock their potential.

The series taps into society's "pick and mix" approach to faith, where few people consider themselves religious but many yearn for something spiritual. Jonathan identifies each person's spiritual needs not just by spending time with them, but also by meeting their friends, family and work colleagues, who may have very different ideas about where that person is lacking.....

.......Karen is introduced to: Hindu yoga to calm both her body and her mind; Christian meditation to focus her mind on the key issues in her life; helping in the kitchen of a Sikh Gurdwara to understand about giving back to the community; and rehearsing in a Christian gospel workshop to release pent-up tension and find a creative outlet....

what about naam simran... keertan???

Anyhow will be interesting to see... what happens .. if you are unable to watch this I will pass a copy onto the Sikhsangat guys so that you get an opportunity to do so.

What did ya think to it grin.gif ....

I thought the presenter could have done alot better at pronouncing Langar rather than Langa wacko.gif

The gurdwara was Sri Singh Sabha in Southall, when the presenter asked the spiritual seeker showing the golden dome on top of Gurdwara Sahib which religion do you think it belongs to .. the seeker looks bemused at him and says reluctantly "a mosque".. when the presenter says it belongs to the Sikh faith, she looks as if she is setback and surprised. :doh:

Yea, I agree totally with you... it was extremely disappointing not to see this... did you notice that majority of them were the old folk there.... If you want to influence one needs to be progressive... If I was that woman I would have been thinking this is an instituation for the aged.

It would have been great if someone could have explained the ideology and philosphy of Langar. It was rather a shame as was expected, even though all credit due to Mr Sanghera he attempted to give positive responses. But didnt work even for me.

that was a joke :doh:

P.S. did you see that young pandit @ the Hare Krishna Yoga Centre, they had it together. :)

    • 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
    • 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.
    • 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!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
