Im guessing your talking about Sikh Missionary Society Uk. If you are, in my opinion they are absoloutley wikid. They're doing bare good stuff for sikh youths. They give loads of free literature with so much inspiration. I remember when i went down southall last weekend, i went to their centre ( like i do every time i visit southall :wub: ). And they had wikid books, i brought back undithi duniya (english), and the time before that i bought jail chitya (english). Theyre doing mad parchar . for sum reason i cant find theyre site, if i find it again, ill put the link here.

Sikh Missionary Society (UK)

Sikh Missionary Society in United Kingdom is one of many premier international Sikh institutes serving the Sikh interests in England and other parts of Europe. It is highly involved in moving the International Sikh youth towards Gursikhi. Sikh missionary society regularly publishes Gurmatt material and distributes it all over UK, USA and Canada.

All In 1969 at the time of quincentenary celebrations of the birth of Guru Nanak, three post graduate teachers working in secondary schools in the county of Kent produced the first publication of "Guru Nanak for children" in September 1969 for free distribution. That was beginning of the Sikh Missionary Society UK. The aim was to provide an insight into the Sikh religion, culture and history for younger generation through true stories (sakhis) from the lives of the Ten Gurus (Guru Nanak to Guru Gobind Singh 1469-1708). Over the last 35 years (1969 - 2004) many sewadars have worked very hard to achieve this aim. It caters to the needs of not only the Sikh youth, but also the youth and adults of other faiths who want to know about Sikhism. Most of the literature on Sikhism, Sikh History, tradition and culture is supplied free of charge to anyone who is interested in Sikhism. Our other means of fulfilling the mission is by holding Gurmat camps, seminars, Kirtan and Panjabi Classes.

In 1969 with the completion of the purchase of 10 Featherstone Road, Southall, the society moved from Gravesend, Kent, to this renowned 'Panjabi Town' which, together with the surrounding districts, has the largest concentration of Sikhs outside Panjab. To enable the Society to meet its missionary objectives and challenges of the 21st Century, the new building complex with enhanced facilities for young Sikhs is our top priority.

As a registered charity, Sikh Missionary Society depends upon the financial support of Sikh Sangat, Gurdwaras and members through donations. It acts as a resource centre for information and special help for young Sikhs. Queries about the Sikh faith are responded to. Students and staff of schools, colleges and universities are provided the relevant information on Sikh faith and culture.

The New Building Complex including the community hall, extensions and facilities are all dedicated to Young Sikhs. They will be used by young Sikhs desirous of learning the Sikh faith and practising it for their physical, religious and spiritual well being.

The New complex will make the headquarters of the Sikh Missionary Society UK more adapatable for achieving the Society's objectives.

Do you have any issues with this amazing organisation doing seva of literature, santheya, monthly magazines, etc et?

[khalistan_zindabaad]

dnt worry aboput it we will all find out in due time what "" AMAZING SEVA" they are doing im speaking about sikh missionary aka the one part of sgpc

[Lion(LK)King]

They are not part of the SGPC, but do keep themself under the banner of the Akal Thakhat and the Panth parvan Rehit Maryada.

I recommend you subscribe to any of their monthly magazines known as

sikhphulwari & Missioanry sedhan.

I believe the first one can be read online on their website (without any charge). Not sure about the Second one, and you yourself can read the "anti-gurmat" "manmat-parchar" they are doing.

For heaven sake, let a Panthic organisation do some seva...

Unless you have some concrete evidence to show there is no basis for you turning up and starting dissing a completly panthic organisation, under the Akal Takhat. Do I agree with everythign they say? Absolutely not. The SMC is set up to do seva by doing Santhiya, preaching ithaas, etc. I do disagree with several things they say and do, however I have no right to claim that they are distorting history for their own benifit, because I know that they don't.

Bhull Chukk maaf
