Well Veerji,

* 400 Guru Granth Sahib: In Toronto, Sacha Sauda Gurmat Parchar Society took up the sewa to bring 149 saroops of Guru Granth Sahib ji maharaj abroad.

To raise awareness, you can:

- Present a video/powerpoint presentation, with his kirpa we will make one on Guru Granth Sahib ji, and sangat around the world can show it in their communities.

- Hold conferences in Universities/Colleges and GO OUT THERE, and educate others about Guru Granth Sahib ji, and the MESSAGE!! Get people out of this darkness! :@ @ This is a very big concern, and I know I will have to face Dharam Raj, if I don't tell others about the word of God, no matter how much bhagti/simran/sewa you do, because to do bhagti/sewa/simran for yourself is selfish, that's why you see Mahapursh do katha, parchar "Aap japo, avrai naam japavao" God helps those who help his children.

My two cents ji

bhul chuk maaf is keeray di. :@^_^^_^

And there are a lot of people doing Sehaj Path with both English and Punjabi meanings (from Bhai Manmohan Singh's senchian) and we will all do Bhog on 1st September 2004 with Guru Ji's Kirpa.

I think that's the best way to raise awareness - doing path with meanings. Even doing 2 Angs every day with understanding is better than doing 50 Angs and not having a clue about what it means! :@

It may take a lot longer than a usual Sehaj Path - many families started in 2002 and aim to complete by 2004, bt it's certainly worth it!!

Just my thoughts! rolleyes.gif

Bhul chuk maaf

    • 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!!
