Regarding B4nd4's Post


Recommended Posts

nah really sure... perhaps we should ask our parents? or even get them involved... adults dun wanna be preached to by youth... so the best way to get to adults is by other adults... it would'n hurt to have a gursikh youth helpin with the adults... because parents see their own kids when they look at kids, and that could inspire them too...

same way... there should be some adults doin parchar wit the youth... cah a lotta adults have experiences that we don't.. for example a lotta adults were around when 78 and 84 happened.. so they can share experiences n wha nah..

basically... mix it up!

Yeah, I agree. I don't think youth preaching about Sikhi to adults is a good way to teach them about Sikhi. Do you think maybe Punjabi media can play a role here? I find that using the media will be the most effective way to get your messages across to people.

in india media would be probably the best way... cah especially in india (comparatively to north america and UK)... people believe almost everytin they hear on the news/radio/movies/t.v. etc...

2ndly... in india... our panthic body needs to start doin some more positive parchar.. for example.. people talk bout naamdhari's this... radhaswami's that.... buh the truth of the matter is... the reason they're gettin so many followers is because they actually DO things in india.... build schools.. build hospitals... build roads... help their own people.. etc...

our 'peepz' at the top, dun do nearly as much as these 'smaller organizations' (who are gettin bigger at an alarmin rate)... yet... our panthic body probably makes 50 times the income... if not more...

point bein.. especially in india... has to start from the top... and when we have some 'corrupt' peepz up at the top... it dun help us a whole lot either.. when people see that our own 'leaders' are shady.. they're gonna tink 'this is what sikhi is?'.. .and be turned off...

Getting back to basics. truth be told, if there is genuinely little love between us (from all backgrounds) then we will look like a bunch of disorganised hate filled people.

Lets ask this question, everyone try and answer please:

Despite all the differences (like caste etc.), what is there that we actually do all share. What have we ALL got in common. What is the common ground between us all?

OK!!!

This sums it all up then. No one can come up with some unifying factors! LOL

No wonder we are at each others throats all the time.,

Fine, I will say it. We all come from Sikh backgrounds.

    • Definitely the Guru Sahibs would be a heavier Scriptures to handle. Dasam Granth is more towards Bir Rass, Guru Gobind Singh showed his Greatness (of course, they would never say this) by separating his own Baania.  And the BIGGEST test of all?? Do we try and read Dasam Granth, Understand n show respect like we do to SGGS? Or... Do we QUESTION it? Guru Gobind Singh Ji is testing us. 
    • My wife will be going for an MRI scan next week but her Kara won’t physically come off.  Is there any way the mri scan can be done with the Kara still on?  The alternative is we will have to try to saw it off before the scan.  
    • was researching this and came back to this thread. Also found an older thread:    
    • Net pay after taxes. If you don't agree, think about this: If you were a trader and started off in China with silk that cost 100 rupees and came to India, and you had to pay total 800 rupees taxes at every small kingdom along the way, and then sold your goods for 1000 rupees, you'd have 100 rupees left, right? If your daswandh is on the gross, that's 100 rupees, meaning you have nothing left. Obviously, you owe only 10% of 100, not 10% of 1000. No, it's 10% before bills and other expenses. These expenses are not your expenses to earn money. They are consumption. If you are a business owner, you take out all expenses, including rent, shop electricity, cost of goods sold, advertising, and government taxes. Whatever is left is your profit and you owe 10% of that.  If you are an employee, you are also entitled to deduct the cost of earning money. That would be government taxes. Everything else is consumption.    
    • No, bro, it's simply not true that no one talks about Simran. Where did you hear that? Swingdon? The entire Sikh world talks about doing Simran, whether it's Maskeen ji, Giani Pinderpal Singh, Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi, or Sants. So what are you talking about? Agreed. Agreed. Well, if every bani were exactly the same, then why would Guru ji even write anything after writing Japji Sahib? We should all enjoy all the banis. No, Gurbani tells you to do Simran, but it's not just "the manual". Gurbani itself also has cleansing powers. I'm not saying not to do Simran. Do it. But Gurbani is not merely "the manual". Reading and singing Gurbani is spiritually helpful: ਪ੍ਰਭ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਭਾਖਿਆ ॥  ਗਾਵਹੁ ਸੁਣਹੁ ਪੜਹੁ ਨਿਤ ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੈ ਤੂ ਰਾਖਿਆ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The Lord's Bani and the words are the best utterances. Ever sing hear and recite them, O brother and the Perfect Guru shall save thee. Pause. p611 Here Guru ji shows the importance of both Bani and Naam: ਆਇਓ ਸੁਨਨ ਪੜਨ ਕਉ ਬਾਣੀ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿ ਲਗਹਿ ਅਨ ਲਾਲਚਿ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਪਰਾਣੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The mortal has come to hear and utter Bani. Forgetting the Name thou attached thyself to other desires. Vain is thy life, O mortal. Pause. p1219 Are there any house manuals that say to read and sing the house manual?
