Are Sikhs Facing A Crisis?

I don't think there is a crisis at all in Sikhi.

Yes, there are problems, but not the extent as the poster has suggested.

I do think the beadi issue should be sorted out. But not from an act of parliment....imagine how long it will take for such an issue to happen!!!

We need to be more proactive in this issue and become more organised. Power is the in the people and numbers and not an act on a piece of paper.

Two things we should address, beadi's and thousands of youngester drifting from Sikhi.....there will be many more beadis and many more issue if we don't address the youth of today who will be the leaders of tommorow.

Saldy, I'm one of the guilty ones who are too passive....I hope to lend my support for such activities at some point in the near future, with Maharaji's Kirpa.

Well, parliament is one thing but as suggested thats a long term action. We need a more speedy resolution..basikly im saying we need to attract youth to the gurdwara..not by any necesary means..but simply by using gurmat, parchar and more camps. These are just my thoughts though feel free to add. Lets not post crazy ideas...but it would be good to see what kind of brainstormiing sangat can come up with..by best solution is to hold camps and then campers to tell all their friends to come along and see what happens with that....slowly people will come together and eventually committees will see that youth dont want wrong activities being carried out. At present there simply isnt enough youth to protest...the majority is elders and if sikhs are not careful soon gurdwaras will be as empty as church halls and if this happens tht will be a sad day for sikhi indeed.

the elders arnt much bothered in pyar and respect for guru ji they are 2 much tangled up in politics were as the youth of today have more pyar for guru ji and wud do any thing to stop beadbi, i was at the ek niwas protest the other week and i over heard the elders sayin lets come back 2mrw and we can have a meetin and sayin other stupid stuff etc, and the youth which were the main reason why we got guru maharaj back, were willing to stay there all night until we got guru ji back, then the funny thing was i was reading the punjabi newspaper and the main guys of the federation had put all fotos up of there guys making it look like it was all done by them at ek niwas lol

I see no response, the truth is when it comes to issues that we are all guilty of we dont really give a <admin-profanity filter activated> if its an insult, i would be more interested in liberating sikhism from th clutches of sikhs than those accused of so-called trumped-up beadbi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Umm, that's totally irrational, bro. There are plenty of prakash-dara Singhs in Punjab (less than we'd like, but still plenty). No one cares that you are sabat soorat. It isn't 1986. You can walk around in chola, kurta-pajama, or jeans. Whatever. If you want the look @dallysingh101 is referring to, just go into a cheap clothing shop (not a Western-style mall) and buy some shirts for 250 rupees or a track suit for 2000 rupees. You'll get the cheap stuff made in some sweatshop in Bombay.
    • 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!!
