Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!!

Representatives of the UK Sikh Community met with Sri Akal Takht Sahib Jathedar Joginder Singh Vedanti on 27th July 2006 in Birmingham to discuss the continuing abuse to Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji & Sikh Principles.

Singh Sahib explained the importance of the Sandesh issued in April 2006. This was issued after representatives from UK travelled to Amritsar, Punjab and presented evidence about recent issues of exploitation of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji & Sikh Principles.

Singh Sahib was shocked to view the video clip of Sikh Temple Chapeltown, Leeds and the open use of alcohol, meat & tobacco within the Gurdwara Premises. He re-iterated that buildings, bought or constructed, that have any kind of affiliation with a Gurdwara or the Sikh Religion, must solely to be used for Gurmat purposes and the betterment of society. He has promised to raise this issue on his return and swiftly release a directive for all Gurdwaras to adhere with. Singh Sahib has confirmed that Sikh Temple Chapeltown is acting against Sri Akal Takht Sahib and that the committee must immediately revert back to Sikh Rehit Maryada and the Gurdwara Act. Representatives of the UK Sikh Community will relay this message back to the Committee of Sikh Temple Chapeltown.

The recent issue at Watford was highlighted to Singh Sahib and he praised all those involved in stopping this abuse to Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Singh Sahib fully supported the stance taken by the UK Sikh Community not to allow Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji to be taken into a community centre where meat, alcohol & tobacco are consumed. He also expressed shock when he saw how Guruji was brought in a suitcase to the centre.

The UK Sikh representatives also highlighted the issue that saroops of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji are being sold at books stores, music shops and clothing stores in Middlesex and Midlands. Singh Sahib agreed that the source of this beadbi in the UK has to be addressed and that shops must stop selling saroops. He will support any controls that need to be implemented to stop the sale of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji in the UK.

Furthermore the representatives discussed Gurdwaras like Ramgarhia Sikh Gurdwara, Forest Gate, London, where, last year, over 40 saroops where neglected by the Gurdwara Committee. Singh Sahib acknowledged the abundance of saroops with the UK. Birad (elderly) saroops must be respected as per Sikh Rehit Maryada and Gurdwaras cannot hide from this responsibility.

Singh Sahib will be issued with a list of offenders who were involved in taking Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji to hotels, clubs and banqueting suites. He has promised to act on this evidence and support to implement the 1998 Hukamnama and the 2006 Sandesh in the UK.

Singh Sahib was supportive to the hard work of the UK Sikh Community and praised their efforts. He has promised his full support in current and future issues. His sermon to Sikhs worldwide was to maintain honour for Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and the statue of Sri Akal Takht Sahib.

GurFateh!!

I can't really argue with your points as they are pretty valid. But Sri Akal Takht Sahib is still our seat of authority established by Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji Maharaj. It is really up to us to re-establish the standing that Sri Akal Takht Sahib should have in the Global Sikh World. It's up to us to ensure whoever is given the Jathedar sewa is supported and even monitored by the true Sadh Sangat. We need to clean out the corruption ourselves because no one else is going to do it. Boycotting Sri Akal Takht Sahib is not going to solve the problem.

Wednesfield Gurdwara in West Midlands also has a party hall where sharab etc is consumed.

Can this one be added to the list of Gurdwaras the campaign fights against.

All alot of programms have been held at Wednesfield, is it right for Gursikhs to support a Gurdwara that does this beadbi?

    • 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!!
