Im writing from scotland. We got a newsagent here and every once in a while some random singh comes to our shop and shows us me a picture of poor children in punjab and sayes he is collectiong money for them so I always give them money because its for the children right?

But it made me think that if these random singh's are lying and keep the money for themselves. Once he told me 2 write a name of any flower on a piece of paper and went on 2 say things like ur very lucky and two gilrs r interested in u and tried 2 make out he knew into my future etc. By the end of it he asked named the flower i wrote on the piece of paper and it was a rose. That naturally comes 2 ur mind right when ur asked 2 name a flower? Lol Nway has anyone else had a simlar experience?

A dude who looked like a Singh (Pagh/Beard) approached me at Camdem Market in London. He randomly went on about what he could tell about my furture etc and then wrote something on a piece of paper, screwed it up and gave it me to hold. He asked me to name a flower and I said orchid, he asks again and I said lotus and so he writes them down along with rose, he then crossed out the flowers I said and left rose, when I opened the paper he gave me it had rose written on it and he was going on about how he is psychic even though what he just did had nothing to show for it (I assume he was expecting me to say rose). He then asked lets go a have a coffe while he tells me more about my fututre but my friend and I made up excuses about having to catch a train and got out of there. Some well dodgy people out there!

hahahah same thing happened to me here in the west midlands like early 2005, the rose thing as well hahah an he played other number tricks as well and he told me some kala liked me loool and that i was going to marry some rich businessman, it was weird because he could name people from my life etc and then he suggested he could tell me the winning lottery numbers if i gave him money, how ironic, i was like mate if you could tell me that then you could play the lottery and win the money for yourself. rolleyes.gif

    • 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!!
