I recently attended a wedding at Swindon Gurdwara.

1. the lavan were read WRONG!!

2. the kalgi on the grooms head was on for about 1hr in the DARBAR SAHIB

3. in the hall at the back of the Gurdwara my uncle saw the Gurdwara President DRINKIN SHRAAB in a tent behind the hall away from everyone!!! when i approached the "pardaan" he was totally DRUNK. I said what the hell are you doing????

He goes i was sniffing it in a sacastic way, when i looked around other committee members were drinking alcohol and were totally drunk!! then when i questioned them the treasurer said this is the swindon gurdwara and the swindon community affairs dont interfere GET OUT GET OUT, i sed is it your dads Gurdwara??

This is not the prabh milne ka chao gurdwara, it is infact the other gurdwara located in swindon - This is the reason there are two gurdwaras in swindon because the other one is ruined by corruption, some of the sangat from swindon tried to put a stop to this and a court case has been going on as well as the involvement of the akaal takhat but alas no support there.

Are there any other people who can speak up against the commitee-vala to say he was drunk? U need a more solid case because these people can easily say you are fabricating this - and without sufficient backup and evidence, they will make it seem as though you are seeking vengence for something.

If the commitee vala was drunk, are there others who saw him in that state and prepared to stand up against them in a meeting?

In regards to the kalgi, was it removed before the laavaan? Again, please try and get hold of the wedding film once made, if it wasnt removed before the laavaan.

IN regards to the laavaan being recited wrong, first thing to do when u spot a mistake is to inform the person quietly after the ceremony that they read it wrong and see how they respond. If it was a Granthi, they shouldnt be hostile and listen to you. IF not, then you can take that issue further and the integrity of the Granthis gurmat education can be questioned.

    • 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!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • 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.
