Imperial Sikh Soc is going strong at the moment. Please join our facebook group http://imperial.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2484701629 or email sikh@imperial.ac.uk and put in the title - add me to the mailing list.

WEEKLY EVENTS

~ Japji Sahib.

We read a pauri, discuss and do vichaar. This honestly is one of the best things I look forward to all week cos the Guru's words are so deep that its cool to have people your own age with who you can do sangat with to reflect on bani.

~ Martial Arts .

We are the only London Sikh Soc that does a Martial Arts Class. I really wanted to carry this forward as I personally believe that Miri and Piri are both equally important. The Singh that leads the class is very knowledgable so please come along.

LAST TERM

Every sikh soc has the normal freshers events, cha and samosa party etc which we did too. In addition to that Imperial Sikh Soc hosted Collaborations which was named so because this year London Sikh Soc sevadars are really enthusiastic and want to collaborate events with each other. This event had a turnout of over 95+ people and each London Sikh Soc did a presentation. We also did a Sikhi Quiz (I believe UCL won the quiz). Everyone who came was also given small gifts.

With Maharaj's Kirpa we have continued to collaborate all term. Global Simran was established on a rotational basis where a different London Sikh Soc did the seva. Imperial Sikh has also done a homeless food run, hosted a talk on Sahib (Mastery) and had a Rehraas Sahib and Kirtan Darbar.

Not only this but we have been to Shepherds Bush Gurdwara for Sikhi workshops. When invited we have advertised and taken our members to events at Kings, UCL and QMW etc.

Besides trying to give our members the opportunity to gain knowledge we have also at the same time tried to widen the 'Sikh Soc' definition to make it open for everyone. We have therefore held lectures to help students in the lower years with their studies, in particular in areas like anatomy, passing down past exam papers, notes etc. This type of seva has been a huge success as it is attended by a mixed type of audience.

I have undoubtly probably left things out, forgotton names so bhul chuk maf karni.

THIS TERM

The term has just started but we have planned lots....obviously I don't want to ruin it and tell you beforehand so join our mailing list and look out for the emails and facebook messages.

UCL, Queen Marys, Brunel...they all have good Sikh Socs in terms of events, weekly simran, kirtan programmes, discussions etc. Even SOAS has a Sikh Society this year!

London has such a large number of Sikh Students, theres always something happening.

You should check out the weekly programmes that they have, as anyone can attend!

      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!!
