Dissapointed Again

[Lionchild]

I recently viewed Mrsikhnet's blog like a usually do in the morning, and as usuall there is something new and interesting to see. I must say that his blog is often very inspirational and nice, yet on the rare occasions, there is a rther odd posting, and it strikes me that something as contraversial and edgy as the Jakara movement is being supported by the website: Jakara Post

While it is a good movement in terms of "trying" to promote sikhi, some question the video and the actuall "sikh" participants that are seen in the video. Not to mention the odd layout of the agenda for these events. I think the movement is legit, but could use some fine tuning and at least there should have beem some amritdari women shown (the last time i checked, amritdaris wear dastaars??).

and one comment really struck me, it's at the 2 minute mark in the video...

The whole point to this thread is why is a amritdari promoting or even showing links to such an event without at least any concern for the lack of sikhi heritage in it??

I don't think alot of people would be impressed by this post...

I don't wish to comment on the topic at hand (I'm sure we can all do with one less opinion in this beehive of potentially volatile self-expression... ), but I will say that these types of reflective and insightfuly posts that are made with open minds and pure hearts are what gives me inner encouragement that the philosophy of Guru Nanak Dev Ji is on the verge of being rediscovered and reborn in a way that is more pure and untainted than it has been in almost three centuries; a way that will allow it to fit into and accomodate the modern world in the perfect unison that it deserves to.

Rock on.

Lionchild i do believe with you that there should be more amritdaris in the videos, and suprised as are you, that Mr.Sikhnet is posting this on this website, because it has nothing to do with sikhi, but with how women should be treated, bz theres no amritdaris in the video.

Dont get me wrong, i do support the cause of the Jakara, bz Guru Nanak Ji said that "without women there is nothing" so i dont support the beating or the abusing that women recieve. I do like that women are getting together expressing there felling and how they should be treated.

i tried to comment, but guess who silenced me again... lol, i don't like people who can't take a little heat sometimes.

It must have been a rude comment then.

He doesnt have to post things Amritdhari. Its his blog. That means you cant say/post anything that is Amritdhari because you are not. Get real.... all you do is critisize everything to do with them.

Go and state the rules of what we can post or not post on our blogs.

You make me wonder what your pupose is being a Sikh To make us look bad?:<Edited>: or uneducated? or rude?

Your just mad :'( because its a women thing and you couldnt fill out the poll.

Maybe you should and youll be all smiles

So dont start one :e:

well you did post up those usueless threads and critisise the mods/admin didnt you??

Anyways the reply simple stated that i was dissapointed that this movement lacks amritdhari women and that bhangra was being performed or was in the plans, on the same day the remember the shaheeds! is this how we remember them? not only that, the video did not give mich insight into amritdari life nor demonstrated very good dress codes... this is not critisism so much as it is being concerned... you have the right to voice a concern, like so many people have... i also mentioned that the concept of gathering sikhs was good, but the ledership and way the presented it was not so good...

Your not a person to question things are you pritam singh??

Aw, what the heck...yeah, sexual discrimination has about as much place in Sikkhi as a fish does flying in the sky.

Makes you wonder: if such simple corruptions as sexual discrimination, assault, etc, what else have we allowed to creep in over the last three hundred years?

Thinky, thinky...

If the sangat does not question, propose and reform, outside forces will do it for them.

That didnt sound like a question.I see what you mean but that was put wierd.

I see what you are saying because I saw this 3 months ago and emailed the girls about when she said "I wear a short skirt and when she dates a guy he doesnt want her to wear one."

I emailed saying women in Sikhi shouldnt wear those kinds of clothes anyway but I didnt say it rudely.

They have a right to gather. Sikhi also is social and not only religious gatherings. But the should have Ardas before and after so it has God in mind at this youth event.
