This is an article i just read in this weeks economist.

(Page 8)

"Fashion Police

Turkmenistan's president, Saparmurat Niyazov, passed a decree forbidding young men to wear long hair or beards. He said the education minister should carry out all checks. Listening to car radios and smoking in the street were also forbidden; opera and ballet performances were banned on the grounds that they are unnecessary."

OK ok i know there prob aint many if any sikhs in that country but how about that hey!! In france, no turbans here no beards or kesh!! Whats the world coming too!!

I thought this was mainly a muslim country anyway? So what will that mean?

Also someone told me that the Turks which where from the Guru's period came from this area? Is that true? If not where did the Turks come from?

But back to the hair!!! Its like that Orange mobile phone company advert!! Its coming true! There must be an international conspiracy to mess with us!!

If these are the original turls history is repeating itself!!

More and more challeges to be faced by guru sahib's children.. :)

You know the France ban, well, that could have been nipped in the bud 2 years ago..

A singh went to renew his passport and was told to take of his distaar for the picture. Obviously the Singh said no and explained why. He tried to fight the case legally because not being allowed to wear a turban is a direct violation of Article 7 or 8 (I forget) of the European Convention of Human Rights which expressly allows Freedom of Religion. The Singh didn't have the finances to fight the case all the way to the European Court of Human Rights...he appealed to all gurdwaray etc. Forget giving him a donation, his letters were not even acknowledged, except by 1 singh in India, who was touched by his predicament but could not afford a financial donation. This singh wrote back and said all he could do was ardaas (which is better than the other reponses!)

Maybe, if the European/English community had assisted to fight then Singh's & Singhnia in France would not be faced with this problem!

After all this 'no headgear thing' will probably just spread across Europe..

Bhul Chuk Maaf!

      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

      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!!
