One important point I would like to make clear, it was never intended to be a protest. It was to be a meeting with the Jathedar to present a petition or letter highlighting the problem and requesting action be taken by issuing a Hukumnama at the next meeting of all the Takht Singh Sahibs.

Due to my geographical location it would be hard to get there that is why I mentioned in the title thread that it was a request for Gursikhs from the London area. I emailed most the Sikh societies and sent txt messages to alert them to the email but no one has responded. I also emailed R4GJ.

Maybe some GurSikhs from the area have taken on the sewa or maybe they cannot be bothered and would prefer to sit at home watching those fat people trying to prepare for the London marathon on BBC1. If it was in my local area (or even an hours drive away) then I would have gone. I hope someone has organised something but for some reason I do not feel anything will be done to meet the Jathedar by the Gursikhs of London.

Maybe there are no GurSikhs in the London area. If there are I hope they have the energy to meet with the Jathedar. It is no good complaining about problems after the Jathedar has gone and expecting action. It will simply not happen, face to face meetings are required to push the agenda.

As Shaheed Baba Jarnail Singh Ji used to say if you put all your fingers together and make a fist it has more impact than a slap. If a group got together and highlighted the problem to the Jathedar it would have more of an impact then just one person trying to make a difference.

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh

I wish I lived in London.

It has given me a good idea for future. Everybody should approach all kirtani, parcharaks, Sant and Jathe about beadbi issues. Encourage them talk about it on stage. Ask them to approach anybody they know with influence, who may be able to make a difference.

It is our responsibility to take charge.

We fell far short.

Out of all the Sikh Socieities I contacted not one has bothered to reply. I do not know if R4GJ sewadar have done anything but even they have not replied to an email.

Looks like no GurSikhs from the London area are concerned about these party halls.

    • Umm, that's totally irrational, bro. There are plenty of prakash-dara Singhs in Punjab (less than we'd like, but still plenty). No one cares that you are sabat soorat. It isn't 1986. You can walk around in chola, kurta-pajama, or jeans. Whatever. If you want the look @dallysingh101 is referring to, just go into a cheap clothing shop (not a Western-style mall) and buy some shirts for 250 rupees or a track suit for 2000 rupees. You'll get the cheap stuff made in some sweatshop in Bombay.
    • 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!!
