Have just sent text to Coventry contact.

Will post by 12 noon (UK time) on 19 October provided details are finalised.

Also will try and post final poster and postcard later tonight on Sikh Sangat - this will have contact numbers for many towns and cities who can be contacted - there should be Coventry and Leamington numbers.

However, I would urge students at Sikh Societies to arrange mini-buses if possible and ask at each local Gurdwara what arrangements are being made.

Yes it is the Nagar Kirtan on the same day, I was just talking about that today with some sangat and they are saying they want to go to the Nagar Kirtan instead and although they would have wanted to come to the Square (including me) we cannot.

Fortunately or unfortunately the Nagar Kirtan isnt something we can miss.

It is to celebrate the Gurburb of Dhan Guru Nanak Dev JI.

At the same time I think the sangat should be divided some how because both are very important. I guess we will find out on the day who goes where.

I did PM 'rkr' about this and well she said the place was booked, I was still hoping mayb they could change it. :)

The original plan was to have the "Sikhs in the Square" event on Sunday 30 October - however the Square was unavailable. I'm sure both events will be a huge success.

The event in the Square will be a bit different and achieve much in engaging with non-Sikhs. Also I'm sure those that turn up in the Square will also have the chance to celebrate the Gurpurb of Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Ji at their local Gurdwara.

Still waiting to hear on both accounts - details of the transport arrangements for Coventry and an emailed version of the poster and postcard that can be put on Sikh Sangat.

It may be reasonable to make an educated guess about the time the Coventry coach will be leaving if the "Sikhs in the Square" event starts at 1.30pm in Trafalgar Square, London. Suggest All-Info provides the mobile number for the Coventry contact at today's meeting so he can be contacted to find out the exact leaving time and place closer to the Sunday 6 November event.

Guru Nanak Parkash Gurdwara

71/81 Harnall Lane West

Foleshill

Coventry

CV2 2GJ

On the basis of past practice it is likely the above Gurdwara will be one of the venues providing a coach. However, there are several other Gurdwaras that may also wish to support the "Sikhs in the Square" event. For instance,

Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha

47-49 Cross Road

Coventry

CV6 5GR

The Sikh youth and students in and around Coventry are urged to contact both Gurdwaras.

    • 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…
    • 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!!
