Mission Conversion


Recommended Posts

Hey folks have a look at this one and know about the plans to convert panjabis. A question that arises here is : Are panjabis ready to deal with all this. No wonder why so many schools like sacred heart, st joseph etc are opening in panjab.

Have a look.

Ready for what? War?

Anyway, what is wrong about Punjabis converting to Christianity?

Why are you so worried about Punjabis converting anyway? Shouldn't you be more worried about Sikhs converting instead?

The reason i m worried abt panjabis converting is coz as per their own website figures 63% of panjabis are sikhs and their target for year 2007 is 125,000 so that means if it's accomplished nearly 78,000 of them are gonna be sikhs. As for conversion i have no problem if these people read gurmat first and then analyse christianity and if they feel christianity is better for them then it's cool but the problem is that most manmukhs feel what they are currently following is sikhi when actually they don't give it a chance.

And ready for....yes a war of a kind, an undeclared ideological war luring people with salvation, happiness etc and sometimes also with money and generally people whom society calls low caste fall prey either for money or to get rid of their low status or for a mix of both.

Why should Punjabis give Sikhi a chance? Should Punjabis also give Hinduism and Islam a chance as well? Like I said before, you should worry about the Sikh community and let the Punjabis worry about their community.

U shud remember tht panjabis are not aliens infact 63% of them are sikhs and they shud give genuine sikhi (not the manmukh version they follow) a chance first by reading gurbani and sikh ideology and then comparing it against christianity. Same goes for other communities to read their religious philosophies thoroughly before thinking abt leaving them. I am not begging other panjabis to give sikhi a chance before christianity...u guys got it wrong. Most ppl in india who convert have least idea abt their own religion and usually succumb to the tricky and luring parchar. My idea is tht these ignorant ppl shud not fall in the trap of misleading, clever and false parchar of other religions like christianity, islam who believe in exclusiveness of their religions and think only people from their religions attain salavtion and think that only their religions are true and the rest are false.

Sikhs must be doing something majorly WRONG for people to be ready to desert like this!

WHY DON'T SIKHS REFLECT A BIT ON THEIR OWN SHORTCOMINGS THAT IS MAKING IT SO EASY FOR THEIR BRETHREN TO LEAVE?

Get this in your heads.Maybe this is a God given sign that WE need to change???

PS - I heard something like 80% percent of Sikh youth in villages have haircuts now. How do you explain this?

(Don't fall back on the Kalyug thing because that is just too convenient!)

One thing we done terribly wrong is not to have moved ahead with the time. We are not using media and technology for parchaar of sikhi.

So much money but no single sikhi tv channel for parchaar, no sikh news channel to present our viewpoint, no newspaper to raise awareness among our masses, no free gurbani literature for ppl in villages, no missionaries to preach gurmat in this dark age . How many international level parcharaks we have? Even our gurdwaras have fake granthis who can't even recite proper gurbani. Our parcharaks can't do parchar to our own kids in west coz they can't speak english. If there are any good parcharaks they aren't treated well by committees. Then come parents who don't infuse sikh values in their kids and let them have their way which lets them drift away from religion. Then our foremost body sgpc is malfunctioning coz of political pressure and under the control of enemies. They,ve got tons of money but no brains and guts to spend it for sikhi. As a result of that ppl are drifting away from sikh values. Majority of them go to deras, pakhandis, pandits, peers. The fault lies on us from top to bottom. And on top of everything we have loads of enemies with venemous agendas like rss, arya samaj, shiv sena, vhp and indian govt who want to dissolve sikhi and we are busy drinking and doing bhangra.

Boys shedding their hair is also a result of these above problems. We aren't simply prepared and equipped to deal with this wave of 'moderisation' which is sweeping everyone. Bollywood or fashion is effecting not only our youth but our culture as well, often boys get the blame for cutting hair because it most visible but do we ever blame girls for threading etc, do we blame aunties for following kitty party culture, wearing bindis,dressing up as hindu women, following useless hindu rituals and adopting their lifestyle through their movies and their tv serials or their media. The worst thing in the whole matter is that we are simply not ready to do anything.

If we look at muslims or pakistanis they are more concerned abt the hindu culture corrupting their youth and society than us. Repeatedly their parcharaks mention abt this to their society to stay away from hindu culture and not let it affect them though they live in a different country where bollywood movies are illegal but we live in same country and get mocked and still dont care.

Good! I never understood this double standard in the sikh community.

Anyway, all sikh leaders need to step down and let the younger sikhs take over the leadership role.

Guest PunjabSingh

I would suggest you people watch the following video :

http://www.sikhsiyasat.com/misc/panthik_co...tion_delhi.html

After about 16 minutes listen to what P.S.Sarna of DSGPC about the mona sikhs he met at Talwandi Sabo.

This shows that the youth is ready but our Dharmik parchaar commitees have failed some where.I think so long as SGPC and for that matter the mukh sewadaar of Akal Takht are under the influence politicians like badal we cannot expect any change .

SGPC and dharam parchaar commitees have failed us so far .

its a rise in catholicism were seeing, not christianity, focus on why division and conflict exists between protestants and catholics and then preach that to the masses, they'll soo wake up. Westerners for years have exploited division in eastern societies we have just stayed asleep we need to learn to counteract with same medicine.

Sikhs can't educate others if they're not educated about Sikhi first. I think there should be some type of movement (similar to singh sabha movement) to educate the Sikh community and rest of the world. I think this is the only realistic solution for the sikh community.

Huh? I don't know about your local gurdwara, but my local gurdwara is a joke! It is run by money eating babas that don't give a damn about us unless we are writing a paycheck to them.

    • 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!!
