Awakening To Leadership - Are You Ready?

[gmustuk]

The past few days I have been watching old videos of SSS Harbhajan Singh Khalsa Yogiji in dialog and question and answer sessions with Sikh Youth in various places. Here is one that I really enjoyed and highly recommend that you watch or listen to! I’ve already watched it at least five times in the course of editing and reviewing the videos and it really hit home for me so wanted to share with you all.

In the video yogiji starts by talking about just "being" a Sikh verses experiencing and living as a Sikh (He related this in the terms he called "Concept" and "Conception"). He then talks about how Sikhs have been betrayed by the so called "Sikh Leadership" and how youth should not rely on them and BECOME the leaders themselves. He shares inspiring experiences from his youth before the partition of India when he was part of creating the All India Sikh Student Federation. He explains how the youth worked together and formed a powerful force with Sikhi as a base and through trust, honesty, equality. He shares the ingredients of what made this work and how youth of today can do this as well.

After watching it makes you want get all your friends together and take action. Hopefully this video will inspire some of you to do something and benefit from this. It’s easy to watch the video and say "very good video"….. So, after you watch it, think about what you can do to take it from "Concept" to "Conception"!

I saw the video a few days ago. Harbhajan Singh's discussion on leadership, structure of the Punj Pyaray in decision making was very valid in todays terms. Those who think themselves to be panthic leaders would benefit taking half hour out and listen to the words of Singh Sahib.

So after watching the video, what are we going to do? Like he said we need to make ourselves Leaders. I loved it when he said, whenever something happens we say Waheguru's hukam, its mean't to be. I find that we use it nearly in every situation, if our Babeh used that mentality we wouldn't be Sikhs today and thats what im sure of.

Very interesting. He hit the nail on the head about corrupt leadership letting Sikhs down again and again.
