Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ke Fateh

Me and a few friends have taken some verses from the SGGS (translated) to spread Sikhi to people of other ethnic backgrounds. They too will learn the greatness/purity of the Sikh religion! - Just like Dhan Dhan Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Mahraaj Sacha Patsha spread the message many years ago. pray.gif

Thousands of leaflets are to be printd too. And will be distributed in non-asian areas.

Although we have many volunteers, we are always happy for more people to do seva. - If you want to assist, drop me a message and we'll see what we can arrange.

dont print bani on paper and give it to random people, thats a big NO NO !!!!!

i think it'll be better if we make phamplets explaning the core values/beliefs of sikhism (rather than writing bani) and give them a phone number or email or something to get more info if they want....

We didn't just wake up one day and think we'd do this. - We have backing from the main Gurdwaras who have more knowledge of things Sikhi, than you and I. - It's been a long process. - Watch this space

Verses translated. Those will only be handed out to those that request them. - The rest will be basic beliefs of Sikhi. and Guru Nanak.

Have you though about getting intouch with the education authorities to organise events that will educate all non sikhs on the values of sikhi - starting at the lower ages is a good starting point ie, schools etc.

There are also other organisations that can help, such as the National Heritage.

Doing leaflets is good - But to a degree we dont want to be known as the next Johova Witness (no offence)

There seems to be a lot of hesitation around what this person is planning on doing.

I think its a great idea!

Many people just don't know anything about SIkhi, I'm always getting asked if I'm a muslim...

I think by having a combination of ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS of Gurbani (highlighted the beautiful messages within Gurbani) and also some basics principles about Sikhs and Sikhi is a wonderful idea.

The argument about printing on paper and discarding is valid to some extent, but in the digital era can you explain what we do with webpages or online media citing Gurbani? How do we dispose of them?

To spread the word...and belive me the word NEEDS to be spread (contry to those who think Sikhi is perfectly fine without needing any of us to go out and bring the flock back in)....we need things like this to occur..we need to educate people about who we are and what we stand for.

We need to move forward and embrace some changes in our attitudes...change is always good and is natural.

If we move forward, change our ideas on how to promote Sikhi WHILST keep try to the principles of Gurmat...whats the issue?????

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
