Seva Required


Recommended Posts

WaheGuru Ji Ka Khasla, WaheGuru Ji Ji Fateh,

Sangat Jio,

With GuruJi's Kirpa, we have been given the opportunity to serve the sangat and I would like to ask for assistance from other sangat members to help in our seva plans.

We operate from the North of England and run an organisation called The Sikh Foundation (UK):

The Sikh Foundation consists of a small group of volunteers within the Sikh community, all having the same central goal to empower Sikh's to become better individuals and excel within their community through a series of educational, social and personal development initiatives. Our goal to to operature local Sikhi Community Education Centres, places where we would provide a wide range of education, vocational and professional skills and try to provide these services to all sangat members without barries such as 'caste'-based Gurudware, gender or age. We aim to provide a neutral enviroment, with no biased towards one particular organisation or Gurudwara.

We are urgently looking for people initially in the North of England (i.e. anywhere from Stoke up to Newcastle, Liverpool to Hull), who could volunteer to become our local community centre leaders. We would also like to hear from anyone who can provide professional services such as:

Counselling

Health care

Finance

Sports

Gatka

Gurbani/Sikhi Educators

Kirtanis

Essentially we are looking for anyone with any skills that they feel would benefit the community to come forward and volunteer. By volunteering you would in no way be commiting yourself to anything. We would like to have a database of people from diffierent cites that we could count on as and when we require, so please get in touch.

The website is still under construction to go and have a look but please forgive us if we don't update it each day.

Please bear with us as this is very much a work in progress and the more people we can get to help us along with the seva the more defined and refined the project will become. So, I'm asking one last time, please if you think you can help or want to become part of the organisation, please contact us via the website.

Sangat Jio, without you help, we will only fail...so please, help us make a difference without our Sikh communities nationwide.

Fateh jio

    • 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!!
