did anyone watch it?

this program showed beautiful footage of darbar sahib but as usual when it came to talking about Sikhs they got our history al wrong. first the <banned word filter activated> comes out with words to the effect of "the religioon [sikhism] sprung out between interaction between islam and hindus,"or something stupid along those lines. the midinformed speng went on to say that the land of DARBAR SAHIB WAS GIFTED TO US MY THE MUSLIM EMPEROR AKHBAR. this is not only false and misleading information but its an insult. Darbar Sahib was a dence jungle which was turned into a prosperous city by Satguru Raamdas Sahib and His Gursikh Sangat who alone founded the holy city of Sri Amritsar.

lol.. BBC's pro-Muslim agenda is laughable. They produce poorly researched, one-sided Bullcrap documentaries. They should stick to fixing BluePeter Phone-in's..

On a more serious note, unless the Sikh community start challenging and correcting these misinterpretations of our history, customs and traditions, we will continue to be portrayed in bad light.

I was watching BBC discussion on so called Sikh "honour killings" following the high profile case this week.

Again, It makes me laugh - they are NOT Sikh. They never label a white killer of a "Christian honour killer".

Unless they can find a quote from Gurbani that Justifies so called "honour killings", otherwise it has nothing to do with Sikhi.

Killings happen all the time, especially during affairs/love triangles and so on, yet they are never labelled as honour killings. When OJ Simpson was charged with murder of his ex-wife, was it classified as an “honour killing”???? No!

So why should they be allowed to tarnish the reputation of the Sikh community during this case?

We need better reputation of young Sikhs in the UK, we need to become more media savvy.

Anyone record it?

Micheal presents a good series but he focuses too much on "positives" of these emperors who committed barbaric acts on the ndian subcontinent inhabitants. He skipped over aurangzeb's life and legacy convinently because he knows he was an evil islamic zealot and would have made islam look bad. This would have given a chance to present information on Sikhs, their faith and why they had to become militarised to combat the extreme persecution from the islamic invaders.

      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!!

      Is suraj parkash right? is it a reliable source of info?

      By BhForce · Posted

      Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
