Any chance of some free recordings from the tour. Surely Ksuk have covered their costs with the booking fees?

Fateh ji...

Far from brother... we are still down by quite a bit... With Maharaj's kirpa we will make up what we are missing, if its not too much, we shall regard it as Daswandh and then start to perform the free seva of the audio and DVD's....

i hope the KSUK guys are with me on the above? :) ))))

Fateh ji

i don't understand why amazing Keertaniyea like Bhai Niranjan Singh don't have these costs and freely allow keertan to be uploaded on the net?

Please do not spread lies.

Bhai Niranjan Singh charges more than most.

We had a charity program where Bhai Sahib ji was coming. His organiser asked us for money - to which we said okay. He suggested £101 however he said it was up to us. When he did come, we could only manage £51 (please note, this was a CHARITY event) and when we went to give it, he wanted to know where his other £50 was!

Anyway, Chardi Kalaa are exactly what it says on the tin... chardi kalaa :) They were great and i personally, cant wait until they come back.

I hope this thread will stay positive as these Singhs inspired a lot of people when they were over.

wait a minute...are you accusing of spreading lies?

read what i wrote...i don't remember other keertaneyes 'like' Bhai Niranjan Singh (using him as an example only) charging for their Diwan audio's. At no point did i say they (Bhai Niranjan Singh) don't charge the Gurdwara, fee's.

Read what i've wrote before attacking me!!!!

well you didnt actually make that clear in your original post!!!

the organisers of Chardi kala prog are charging for the cds due to the cost of the prog,

the kirtani wouldnt be bothered because they have made loads of money from stage and have had their tickets and costs covered from them

the organisers would probably have 2 cover their costs from somewhere, so selling the cds is not a bad way of doing it!

i cant see anything wrong in it

As United1985 said - the keertania dont have anything to do with the selling of CD's by ksuk. I aint attacking you mate, i simply responded to your message. If you percieved it as an attack... sorry.

Besides, whats it to you?? How does KSUK selling CD's affect you? T-series been selling audio cds for decades and all keertania (all major keertania) have cd's.

These guys are doing a great seva and arent profiting from it. So whats it to you? If you can do the same seva they do of bringing keertania from around the world to UK and not worry about costs, then by all means go ahead and do so and relieve the sevadars of their duties. If not, then chupp kar ke behja. Simple.

Funny how we don't like paying for Gurbani but don't mind paying for anything else.

Even if a Gurbani CD was sold for £1000, it would still be cheap.

This attitude is why there is a shortage of good Granthis in our Gurudwaras. People don't appreciate what it takes and just how important Kirtanis, Raagis, Granthis etc are.

    • 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.
