Singh Sabha Gurdwara -slough

[x_suman_x]

r u aware that the majority of the singh sabha gurdwara comittee(all the elders) are not in support of slough sikh school?

instead they are building a"recreatation centre" where people can rent it out to have parties serving meat and alcohol.

wouldn't this money be better placed going to the trust

we need people like Hari Singh Sewak in the committee who truly have a passion for sikhi and want to lead our youth on the right path

when they won the gurdwara committee elections last year instead of thanking guru ji they went down a pub and got drunk and even drank alcohol in the alleyway of the gurdwara

mr sewak was headteacher of sunday panjabi school for over 25 years and resigned in protest against the building of the "recreation centre" and saying that the money would be better placed funding a sikh school in slough

isn't it shameful that hardly any1 stood with him against this issue more than 3 years ago

it seems to me that the majority of our community are too infatuated with maya to care about our youth- they all want flashy cars and big houses

the youth need to act and prepare to become leaders, i think these old ppl are only interested in the link from the golak to their pockets. school wud be a class idea.............we dont need a recreation centre.

[crayzy]

what do you mean by rec centre?

[kurtas]

Recreation centres are basically large centres which are opened as community centres so the management can get grants/funding from local government. In practice they are not community centres but drinking dens for wedding and birthday parties.

The Jathedar of the Akal Takht knows about the problem but is too busy to get his finger out and issue a Hukumnama banning these centres.

One of the only proper Sikh community centre setups is the one next to Smethwick Gurdwara (or it was next door but is now located around the corner). They run it as a community project for the local community offering courses and other community facilities like job search, benefits advice, legal advice. Soho Road also have somthing similar being built which looks promosing.

We have others like that in Huddersfield where the besharam committee wale have the audacity to call the centre the Sikh Community Centre. They allowa manmat practices in this centre. They have ISYF press releases on the notice board but allow drinking in their community centre. Same with the idiots in Swindon.

Until the Khalsa Panth takes a stand on this issue these centres are going to mushroom. It is time that Jathedar Vedanti made a stand on the issue. It is all well and good summoning the Sarna brothers for Badal and bickering like a 2 year old with the Patna Sahib Jathedar but when is he going to do anything about these manmat committees.

seeing as youre part of the Gurudwara why not rally the youth and fight it from the inside

stage a protest

run for a seat on the committe representing the youth

its basic politics.

make your presence felt so that they bend to what you want - the louder your voice the more likely you'll be listened to.

How exactly do people get on to the committee - who votes them on?

It is important local sangat keeps a close eye on the situation.

We must stop the trend of halls opened by Gurdwara comittees where meat and alcohol are served. This is anti sikh activity and must be stopped.

If I can help then please let me know.

thanx 4 the offer bhaji but it seems to me dat the problem with our community is that we need to cum togtha as 1 force

if we had done that in 84 then we would have had khalistan now.

people r out 4 themselves only

a protest is a good idea but how cud we get enough ppl 2 join in and aren't there laws in place that we need to have a look at.

the police need to be made aware etc.

ppl arent prepared to risk arrest for what is right

we need some1 who has organised protests b4.

we don't want wat happened in lemington spa to happen in slough (violence)

there r a few ppl inside the comittee who r decent but they have a lone voice.

[kkaur123]

Nothing wrong with a peaceful protest. Lets not be so negative. Stay positive and Guru Maharaj will do kirpa on their sangat. Encourage those who are in the committee speak up and obtain support.

You can count on me to help too.

Please if anyone wants to make a difference and stop the spread of party halls then you can help stop this. Can some concerned Gursikhs from around London get together in a group tomorrow evening and raise this issue with the Bhai Sahib Iqbal Singh Ji who is Jathedar of Patna Sahib

The Jathedar of Patna Sahib is doing Katha (early evening) at Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha in Southall (Park Avenue) .

Go listen to his Katha and then tell him about these party halls and demand he raise this issue with Jathedar Vedanti and they issue a Hukumnama stopping this dirty practice.

Please sink your differences and for the sake of the Khalsa Panth unite and go see the Jathedar tomorrow. He may be flying back soon and we cannot miss this opportunity. Please do not sit back, if you are a Gursikh and can get to Southall then please do this sewa for the Panth.

It might be worthwhile take a camcorder to tape the meeting and putting this up on the net.
