with regard to the 'rescue a family' appeal. d_oh.gif

For only £20.00 per month you can make a real difference to the lives of a family in need in Punjab.

You will need to make the commitment to send the monthly donation via standing order for a minimum of one year, so that the family you help can start to make plans for the future. (or just please give whatever you can afford!)

We are all meant to give one-tenth of our earnings to charity - this doesn't even come close!

For more information, or if you want to help, please contact meerat.kaur@unitedsikhs.org or contact@unitedsikhs.org

The standing order madate is

To day I have made a conscious decision that every birthday in my family the money I would have spent on presents I will give as a gift for the families that really need my help…………

if I can help even 1 family to survive I will give gladly.

I read the literature from UNITED SIKHS to help sikh families in Punjab ,

I am so ashamed that I have so much and they have so little…….

I hope every on this forum reads this and donate something……. d_oh.gif

OH HECK.

EVERONE HOW MUCH MONEY DID U SPEND ON FIREWORKS ? grin.gif

finally! pray.gif thats really good.... a great seva!

well there few people out there who do not matha take with money. here is a story..lol from few yrs back:

it was intresting when i saw this veer ji,who is very close me (chardi kalla), didnt take out dollar to matha take...i was like :@ @ is he out of money? he could've asked me for a it. the notion that u are suppose to take something...now these days a "$" when u go in the court for darshan of guru sahib! something our parcharks have put in our head(i still remebr listening to a katha on a "tape" where the kathakar said u should not go empty handed...take something which i thought was money or other matrilizt stuff)

but they fotget to tell you ...what my veer ji told me after the devan when i said to him "i had a $...why didnt u tell me u forgot to bring money?"

i thought i was being helpful and Smart rolleyes.gif ...LOL anyhow he goes..tell me where does the money go? what is the meaning of "matha takin"? im givin him all these random crazy rote memory(quotin kathakars) replys while he being alll patient waiting for me to finish.

he smiled and said... where do we put the money?(in golak) what is the hukum of Guru Gobind singh ji? of course i didntknow :D

i know that the sangat knows where this is going.. he said "guru sahib said that a poor person's mouth is my golak." it was a good conversation. it was nice learning that from him:)

later on i found out how much money he donatez..and i brag about my $ that i take to gurdwara that isn;t even mine to begin with tongue.gif . im glad i asked him..learnd a great lesson and it saved me from what most of the "aunties" do.."haye haye niii...mathaa taken nu $ vi ha ni ..tey appney app nu sikh kahudeyy" LOL.gif

i felt so stupid...but hey i was a kid thn and very stupid lol. still am....maybe more "stupiderrrr" thn before.

yes i still take $ lol i'll never learn! <_<

bhul chuk muaf karni

waheguru ji kakhalsa waheguru jiki fateh!

FATEH!!

Stop puttin that dollar in da golak. keep saving it and whne you go to india.. umm help a needy family there :TH: . we all are aware of the sad state of gurughars. that will be the real sewa for the panth. Farmers in Punjab need that money, those dollars you'll save will prevent someone from commiting suicide.

YOU WANT TO SEE EXPENSIVE FLOORINGS IN THE GURUDWARA or YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAVE A LIFE. Choice is yours

Bhul Chuk Maaf.

GURU RAKHA !!

i think its mostly important 4 ppl who r actually starving(like in africa).

im not tryin to b mean or anything, but pl in india dont sttarve.theres a gurudwara on every block of india. they all eat their tummys full.

africa is where the seva really needs to b done and other countries where starvation is the ultimate problem.

we need to frist think about keeping ppl from starving to death b4 even giving education to them.

bul chuk maff

I understand where you are coming from with this Phaji. Give where your heart dictates - just give.

    • 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!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
