Jay tusi oh ilaakay vich aan, pher puta karao vee khera bundha aah kheez buna rahe aa. Pur menu nee lagda vee apnay saray lok nu hutta sukdey aan.

Better have a longer term strategy to present ourselves to the media. We don't do ourselves favours sometimes when we present ourselves as simple, happy go lucky types. Obviously money is behind programs such as this one and enough people feel antipathy towards Sikhs to gloat at this stuff.

We need to work at building our own image up again through reform work WITHIN the community. It will take time but I see no other choice. If we flare up everytime some bewakoof does something like this we may stretch ourselves out and end up confirming what the bunders are portraying. Better to just stick to the really extreme cases only and deal with them discreetly. Also we should ask why such people feel they need to TRY and bring us down like this and attack the root causes. Sometimes I think there were times, when we as a community, have been very arrogant towards others and we need to address this. I know it sounds really cliched but we have to win these peoples hearts and minds again. Just my opinion, don't think I don't feel upset when I see this stuff either. We need to build up our reputation up as a COMMUNITY, whose values are progression, fairness, strength, compassion, bravery etc.

Right now people are portraying us a dumb, simple minded and hypocritical. We should, each and every last one of us, challenge these stereotypes through our daily lives when we interact with the world. Until each Sikh man understands this the models for these negative stereotypes will be wondering around in Sikh roop and give rise to these caricatures.

This isn't the time for knee <admin-profanity filter activated> reactions bro, time for long term strategies or we'll be plugging holes like this forever and whenever we shut down one another one will appear somewhere.

    • 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!!
