Recommended Posts

When the Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji was put together at the times of Sri Guru Arjan dev ji, so much respect was shown to sri guru granth sahib ji. even dough gurship was still with Sri guru arjan dev ji, Sri Guru Arjan dev ji used to sit on the floor and sleep on the floor when in presence of gurbani. now the sikh times put gurbani in their newspaper like its nothing, yeah they may want to preach the message of guru ji all over, but there is a price to pay. sikh times are sold in shops where tobboaco and alcohol is served. most magazine and paper sections in shops have porn magazine or rude images and the sikh times is laying on same row etc. when sumone is reading sikh times, they aint going to treat it as a gutka sahib. they will have dirty hands and may be eating meat etc. the sikh times is placed on the floor in houses etc. in so many ways the sikh times cause the disrespect of gurbani, even if it is indirectly. i have written to them so many times, regarding this issue and havent recieved a reply, please i call to all youth to not buy the paper, until the the sikh times issue an press statement saying they have stopped including gurbani in gurkmukhi form. why cant they just use translations etc. the paper has quite indecent images, not of an pornagraphic nature, but bollywood actresses with mini skirts etc.

The internet is full of porn and other things like that, and yet Guru Granth Sahib translations share cyber space with it. What are you going to do about that, eh?

Easier to threaten and bully some newspaper editors though.

Whenever a brave Sikh Jihadi comes on this message board and tries to start a campaign against a publication or institution or individuals it is freighted with bullying tactics.

Why, just the other day I read some Sikh Jihadi on one of the threads about supposed 'forced conversions' going on about boycotting the Sikh Times, in amongst the hate and bile.

So Mr Machete, how do you know that there are not people in the world who look at porn simultaneously as they look at Maharaj as they surf the internet?

Thats their paap, but i really doubt any body is goging to do that!! but the sikh times include bollywood actresses with mini skirts in thier pages amongst gurbani. ehhmm r u working for them or sumthing, cos it is stright foward they r cuasing the disrespect of gurbani, i know they dont mean it or want to do it, but when they have been told that they are doing wrong, why aint they listening?

Machete, I hope the Sikh Times installs CCTV outside their offices soon to at least get some pictures of the people who are almost inevitably now going to smash up their offices after the latest bunch of Sikh Jihadis decide to carry out another bout of violence against 'traitors to the panth'

Knowing what kind of gutless cowards they are though, they'll probably cover their faces with masks or something, innit.

And no, I don't work for them, did you not know that people can express independent thoughts?

LOL machete, dont even bother arguing with this guy, hes an extremist!!!

hes extreme against anything whcih challenges the 'norm', he just wants to live in his kushi little life and pretend everything is hunky dory!

its quite simple ... a paper designed for the SIKHS and is meant to represent sikh thought and action but YET includes pictures of semi clad women is NOT a paper which represnts the sikhs.

machete is exercising his rights as per a citizen of the (UK i assume?) to speak out, also as a consumer he has rights to expect his purchase to be of the quality he expects.

your example is ridiculous and machete has blown you out of the water with his counter example. no wi think you should sit down and behave and let people discuss a real and honest issue. i.e. should papers calling themselves 'the sikh times' include images of half dressed or half naked women. is this a paper we would/shoudl recommend to other sikhs?

    • 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!!
