i saw it and i was amazed.

the remeberance day ws opened by prince charles talking about commonwealth contributions, they kept shopwing him talking to singhs...asking "so where is your gurdwara"

it showed a singh by the name of mohinder singh puji in world war 2 being the only guy in ww2 to be in the air force...with a paag.

shame he doesnt keep it now.

i loved the old troopers parade, one guy was dressed in his kilt shouting like "left right left right" and had that victorian mustafa beard.

amazing these guys lost no himmat...dont think i saw any of the old veterans from world war one though.

but prince charles speech was good...i think hed make a great king.

did anyone else see it, and what do they think the highlights were?

gustaphi maaf

yeh defo he'll make a good king. i was reading in the paper today how he spoke up against Chinese human rights abuses in his journal. at the same time our pm was inviting the Chinese head of state despite calls by human rights group to boycott the banquet. thats gotta be something unusual about a consitutional monarchal figure, cus them peeps never get involved in politics.

he taken his qualities from his gran, the queen mother. when it was war time, she said she didnt want to leave buckingham palace so she could stay with the sangat of london wale and when the bombs fell, she with her husband went around and observed and comforted those who were stricken by the whole thing.

lol she was gangster...she took lessons in firing the pistol...in case any germans came.

it gave her such popularity.

but its her crown that has the kohinoor and her talwaar which has the other half of the kohinoor (it was cut in half).

theres a story, she was greeting a few people, one african said "its a shame the english invaded our land"

the queen mother said "we have two thing in common, one is that we are from different nationalities (she was scottish) and secondly, the english took our land"

very warm and loving person she was...not like i met her but oh well.

when she died, you could just see the pain on charlies face. but to her, he was like the son she never had...and you can just see they both share the same qualitiy features.

but yeah i think hed make a great king.

gustaphi maaf

    • 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.
