Rensbhai Kirtan

waheguru ji ka khalsa, waheguru ji ki Fateh ji

wasn't there at the beginning so can't really comment on the actual incident, but from what I've read and heard, doesn't really seem like a big deal either way, and definately not a big enough a deal to start 'an internet' discussion over it, as G.S Media commented, with Guru's kirpa it was an excellent rain-sbai.

can't wait for the recordings :)

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh! I don't usually visit Sikh Sangat but had heard about this post

Firstly AKJ did Kirtan at Willenhall a couple of months ago on the stage without any problems and it turned out to be a really good programme.

I think the majority of the blame for the Raensbai incident can be laid at the door of one individual rather than three .

I was one of the eye witnesses to the whole incident. A request was made for mics to be put on the floor, but stage sec decided to start showing his power by announcing that Kirtan should not be done on the floor (this was def not an issue). Bhai T Singh said to the sec that we would be doing Kirtan on the stage however he seemed not to listen and carried on saying same so the Sangat would think we were making an issue of where Kirtan was to be done.

Yes Bhai T Singh did handle the situation very well, we started putting instruments on stage and Bhai T Singh got on the stage said Fateh and addressed the Sangat and said that we had only requested mics to be put on the floor.

Then the AKJ-hater Mohan (done a huge amount of damage to youth parchar at Willenhall) got up, switched of the mic and egged on the stage sec who started speaking a second time again repeating the same and saying things should happen the way the committe said. Then an older guy, i believe to be a trustee quickly came across to the front of the stage and started having a go, basically his words also showed a huge ego.

I would not dismiss it as something minor, as what these three individuals did was quite disgusting, egoistic, it was an insult to the the Singhs present, an insult to the Akj and showed complete disrespect to Guru Maharaj.

I believe a lot of the local non-akj sangat agree that the behaviour of these people was disgraceful.

Fine, those that were not in the midst of it had good night but it spoilt things for me and i am sure several others.

I think we should not dwell on this subject any longer as it will not make a difference. The stage secretary did apologise to the whole Sangat after Bhog of the Raensbai Kirtan.

Let's learn from this, end it here and move on.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
