Gurfateh Sangat Jio,

For the last 3 months I have been buying a copy of The Sikh Times and have noticed that There always is a Gurbani section. I personally think it is wrong as the paper ends up on the floor or ends up in the bins. I have wrote and sent Numerous E-mails raising my concern but failed to recieve a response.

Previously The Sikh Times Wrote a article on Guru Granth Sahib Mahraj and called it a book, which I feel is sincerly wrong.

I am asking the Sangat about their views on this issue as I might be wrong.

Bhaji,

I myself have a whole pile of Sikh Times that I need to dispose off.

I cannot put them in the bin so I am hoping to set a little fire going in the back garden and dispose of them in this way. I can also dispose of all the wedding cards I have that have got Gurbani tukhs in them as well.

I think the Gurdwaras should have a large box as you walk in, where you can place all paper based items - like Punjab Times, Des Pardas, Quam Awaaz and wedding cards etc - which may have gurbani or Guru pictures printed on them, so that the Gurdwara can then properly dispose of them.

We shouldn't really be printing more than we intend to use in the first place, but when it has been printed and needs to be disposed of I'd like to ask which is more in line with Gurmat principles:

Recycling paper

or,

cremating it?

In my opinion we should be doing that which is in tune with nature for that is the essence of Gurmat: recognising and living within The Divine Design. In my understanding this would be recycling.

yea , i havent thrown out the sikh times, weve been getting it for the last two years, my mums starting to kick off cos the piles just getin bigger, i did email them a long time ago but they didnt reply, we should sort something out, because its quite informative aswell, theres alot of mixed veiws and other papers which need to be dealt with.

regarding the articles in the sikh times , they have made mistakes a few times, sometimes they get non sikhs to do articles on sikhi and they just get it wrong and when the articles get published its disturbing that a 'sikh' titled paper is making mistakes like called the guru granth sahib ji a book

      Concept of Sin

      By BhForce · Posted

      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

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      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.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      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!!

      Is suraj parkash right? is it a reliable source of info?

      By BhForce · Posted

      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.
