Attention East London & Essex Sikhs!

[Time4Change]

Vahiguru Jee Kaa Khalsa Vahiguru Jee Kee Fateh!!

This is a calling to the Youth of East London & Essex!!

Become members of Sri Guru Singh Sabha London East and have your voice heard!

Gurdwara Elections are taking place in June 2006 and only members are allowed to vote.

Locals will be well aware of the corrupt activies of the current committee (which has had a stronghold for many years).

1) This committee has robbed Sangat's monies, intimidated Sangat members, had many physical fights and Police has been called to the Gurdwara regularly. This committee organised belly dancers & open drink ups during Kabadabi tournaments under the name of Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji's Shaheedi!

2) They have 7 mobile phone masts on the roof of Seven Kings Gurdwara Sahib and due to health risks they keep the top darbar mostly closed!

3) There is constant building work happening and tenders are given to family members. Building work that has been completed by one contractor is redone by another.

4) The youth gym has been neglected despite collections from the youth being passed on to the committee.

Sangat Ji, this is OUR chance to make a change for the betterment of OUR future. We urge you all within East London & Essex to become members and at least show your power as Voting Sangat and your Dislike of the Current Committee.

The attached form needs to be returned to Singh Sabha Gurdwara Barking (100 North Street, Barking Essex) Committee Office with a passport photograph and your passport as id proof. If you do not get your ID card immediately then at least take a receipt that you have handed in your form.

CLOSING DATE FOR COMPLETED APPLICATION IS 30th APRIL 2006.

Please pass on to your friends & families.

Gurbar Akaal!!

Degh Tegh Fateh!!

Khalse Di Har Maidanay Fateh!!!

Vahiguru Jee Kaa Khalsa Vahiguru Jee Kee Fateh!

This is very imporant.... this message to be passed on to all Sikhs in east london. I seen those mobile radio masts aswell.. looks like the committee is more interested in getting money from mob companies than looking after the health of the sangat :wub: . They need to be taken down asap!

Time4Change, is their any restrictions on who can become members? eg.. can mona/sehajdhari sikhs also take part?

lol we had the same problem with our Gurudwara in Croydon, the previous comitee were taking money for themselves, foolishly spending extra money buy paying the builders double to work on Sundays and bank holidays. The president for the previous comitee used to chew paan while the kirtan was going on. So my dad and a couple of other people got togeather and took the Gurudwara over but now theres Sikhism, punjabi and kirtan classes and there are notices up showing expenditure showing the exact financel status.

Remember if you want to manage a Gurudwara stay togeather as one as differences amongst people will not let your Gurudwara progress

So true, Ekta is the only way forward.

The power to change what goes on in our Gurdwara Committees lies in our hands. It's time for the YOUTH to put the differences aside, enter the Gurdwara Committee politics arena and start making changes.

This is a prime opportunity to start. The least we can do in East London is become members of the Gurdwara voting list and have some influence within what happens.

If we keep quiet than these modern day masands will just keep selling our Sikhi.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa

Gurdwara Committee Elections - what a dirty word! We all have a imagine of Corrupt People out for power.

But when things get so bad, like at Singh Sabha East London, Singh Sabha Slough, Ramgarhia Forest Gate, then its time for those people who hate the idea of Gurdwara Politics to get involve and try and fix the current issues.

NO ONE ELSE WILL FIX OUR GURDWARAS. Locals of East London must reflect, there's no point ignoring the problems thinking some other Gursikh within the area will deal it!

At very minimum we need to take time out and become Gurdwara Members & Vote, those who chose to ignore have their backs towards Guruji.

Goodstuff, this is what the Guruji is pleased with, sikhs who are concerned with the running of the Gurdwaras.

OH TWADDDI!

How is it the sangat have allowed this to occur? and you say this kanjar comittee have been in power for a number of years. Why has NOTHING been done!!! If they are ousted i'm sure the police will once again be involved because kanjar like these don't go quietly! :wub:
