I've been to some funerals in my life time, it usually always been the funeral of an elder family member or relative but in the past couple of years I've been to some for that were for young people.

The thing that was consistent at all the funerals was that someone would give a speech, in the case of an Amritdharee family the person would say that there is no need to cry because the person that passed away is now in a better place, that person's purpose have been complete. This happened at the funerals of my elder family members and relatives.

Until a couple of years ago, I had never been to a funeral of a non-Amritdharee/Mona person. The funeral I went to was for a guy that I used to be neighbors with for like 5 years in the 1990s, he went to high school with my older brother, I still remember us playing hockey and doing stupid stuff. After high school this guy went to college, finished his 2 year diploma, got a job but didn't like the amount of money he was making (I guess). So sometime later he decided to turn to drug dealing, he becomes a prominent dealer and after he got killed (apparently a revenge killing). I went to the funeral with my brothers (his mom is still friends with my mom, they used to work together, both parents are Amritdharee), I saw hundreds of youth there, holding flowers and cards. Then the speeches came (a lot of speeches) and in all of the speeches the people said "your gone to a better place, we'll see you in heaven."

Then the Father (Amritdharee) to the stage, he was mad, he starting giving his own speech, trying to knock some sense into people in attendance. He said "my son did nothing good with his life, we provided him with every opportunity, we tried to guide him the right way, we paid for his school, we allowed him to make his own choices but he fell victim to this lure of fast cash, he wanted to drive BMWs and Mercedes, live a life of luxury, FOR WHAT! So people will think you’re important? What was he trying to prove? You were his friends, what are you trying to prove? He wasted his life, he did nothing good, now you treat him as a hero, ‘we will see you in heaven’ you say, but there is no heaven where he is going (hell)! If you want meet him, just continue on this wrong path!

Then he was taken off the stage by some family members. People (the friends) got mad at the Father but was what he said really wrong? I don’t think so.

I thought to myself, this guy was drug dealer, he sold drugs, he did drugs, he apparently got somebody's brother killed, and why wouldn't this guy go the Narak? Why does everybody here think he is going to "heaven"?

It was true what he was saying and he obviously felt passionate about what had happened, to me he said the right thing instead of trying to cover the truth.

A lot of people live in a fantasy world like they can do what they want and everything is going to be fine and dandy when they die, its sad really. If Guru Ji wants them on the team then he will show them the truth if not then theyll be lost all their lives. Its just how it is i suppose, its all Waheguru's drama as they say.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Poor father... but amazing Gursikh and so worthy of a jakaaraa... reading above what the father said made me want to shout "BOLE SO NIHAAL" at the top of my voice. He is a Guru of the Sikh - not a Guru of a soul who brought about misery, destruction through drugs and crime. He had the guts to speak the truth and say it how it was. If i ever met this father, i would definitely say Fateh and shake his hand. Good going.

has anyone here read Speaker for the Dead by orson scott card? That, and its prequel Ender's Game, are some of the best sci fic works ever...speaker for the dead deals with this subject, as a matter of fact. The idea was telling the person's life not as a story, but as it really was...hard to explain, but if u read a synopsis, u'll see...Great books, though...

      Traveling in Punjab independently and safely (need good advice)

      By BhForce · Posted

      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.

      Concept of Sin

      By MokhamSingh · Posted

      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…

      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!!
