In the same respect,

if i was to sell you a CD for £100 (lets say), you will treat it better and have more more respect rather than me giving you the CD for free.

You cant add value to Gurbani with money. i agree with that, and donations are given willfully, not enforced. When you enforce people to donate for a service, that becomes selling.

But SikhNet has been running like that for years and years now and it seems to be doing okay. Its not as though they are asking you for a lot of money anyway. It probably doesnt even amount to dasvand.

ya i also think its ok

coz we can listen it free and its more than enough

and look lots of albums are there if no body will buy those, and keep downloading and started making pirate cds then there is only the loss of raagi singhs.

but some sites also let us download every thing they got , thats also gud coz there are live samagams and if thete are studio recording cdsthen these are bythe very ols and famous raagis who alreday have earned alot :D

Bani is not supposed to be SOLD. Sikhnet should allow users to download it for free.Memebers who can afford should donate to such sites, but in no way sangat should be asked for money to get bani. Guruji would sing bani to both rich and poor irrespective of how much one gives to guruji. Bani should never be commercialised.

If Bani is not supposed to be sold then why do u have to pay for raagis at your local gurdwara? Why is there a price on every auido cd or tape containing gurbani? Why is it allowed to be sold at shops and other businesses?

If youre gonna criticize people who sell gurbani criticize everyone, including those raagis and jathas who come to your gurdwareh and make thousands.

Bani isn't being sold. Its the access to it that is by donation (one donation gets you unlimited access for a year I think).

Its the same as going to the store and buying a CD. Its not the Gurbani that is being sold. That's always free. You are paying for the media, and the people who put their time and effort into singing and recording it.

And if you disagree, then go use other sites, like keertan.net that offer it free of charge.

    • 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!!
