about a week or two ago i was reading through a copy of the sikh times newspaper. there was something on operaton blue star and i remember the paper had referred to the shaheed singh's in the complex as 'seccessionists' and 'terrorists.' that shocked me thinking that a paper representing the sikh community would make such comments. grin.gif

worse still they have a section entitled 'sikh philosophy' in which they have translations of gurbani. now people reading such newspapers are going to throw away the newspapers after reading them, not to mention other acts which would disrespect the gurbani in them.

i've heard the newspaper has been around for a while now, does anyone else on this forum have any further info on them including their stance on panthic issues, their history and whether any person/group has raised this issue with them before.

you can read some of their biased articles on www.sikhtimes.com

bhul chuk maaf

Veer Ji,

You sure that is the correct URL. I have seen a newspaper at a few shops with the same name.

The URL is www.thesikhtimes.co.uk . I think it is based in the west midlands.

Last week it had a big spread on Gurcharan Mall (dhol player) who was earlier this year playing at the opening of the naraqthari place in the midlands and quoted on the BBC web site as saying he was a follower of the naraqthari "baba". They have shown how panthic they are by doing this feature on a naraqthari associate.

wjkkwjkp!

unfortunatly, the sikh times have started to fill their paper with anti-gurmat material...

i remember when the sikh times would publish articles on sikhi and that would be it...now 75% of the paper is full of gandh with 25% of articles on actual sikhi!

shame how we are lowering our sources of media to accomodate for kaljug...

maybe the editors can shine a little a light on the matter as to why they are using a sikh paper to promote panjabi-ism and anti-gurmat articles!

wjkkwjkp!

Maybe not everyone in the community sees them as Heros

the writers should of got their facts straight on the singhs, id recomend the writers do a bit of research about sant ji and the singhs before putin their opinions across.

Do you think they whr heros?

www.SikhTimes.com is a COMPLETELY different site and media to the UK based paper you are reffering to.

The one you are reffering to is www.TheSikhTimes.co.uk.

    • 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!!
