I found a nice article on neverforget84.com and wanted to share it with the sangat: (Daas only made it bit more readable)

Hmm.. Whenever I talk about 84 Delhi iots, Ghallughara, Shaheeds, their families, and inhumane torture they suffered... Many of them say.. “Uhh...Why do you always talk about this depressing stuff, it was the past..!!”

But WAS IT THE PAST?? I don't think so.. As a kid, I knew nothing about Khalistan Movement, and it is strange because my family was part of it. My chacha ji was a Shaheed and I was told that he fought for "Azadi" which is true but the only Azadi I knew of was Hindustani Azadi from British, lol

Things are different know since I have educated myself about our painful "past". Sadly it is our present for most of us. Those people who haven't seen the suffering of those ‘Shaheeds' parents.... their children who are now in orphanages denied equal opportunities. Living like that because the person who is supposed to care of them "cant". Because that person gave up his life years ago so that your present could be prosperous, so that you and your children can know what liberty is.

That past can't possibly be called the past because of number of reasons. Struggle is still going on. Most of you are aware of the what is becoming of our Punjab. The place which was meant for Khalsas, isn't pure and beautiful anymore.. All one can smell there is cigarettes. All one sees there is "Thekey" (liquor shops). Is that what Guru Gobind Singh ji wanted Khalsa Dharti to be like? Khalsa Raj is important, the fight is going on. It will only end when Khalsa will be revived, the Khalsa Raj that was taken away from us by British then and now Hindustanis will be back.

I don't want to start talking about the need of Khalistan. Most of you know it better than I do :!:

I want to talk about how the pain still lives in the hearts of those who suffered great loss at that time.. I cant say that it is fear, but I really don't know what it is.

My daddy, whose brother is a Shaheed, supports Khalistan. He can't talk about my Chacha ji without having glittery eyes. He doesn't like talking about that time period. We all have hard time talking about stuff like that but my dad is the kind of person who isn't scared of anyone but waheguru. He was always my hero. Whenever I got scared all I needed was his assurance. I am sure he doesn't fear anything. But I think that the stuff that happened then has psychologically made a big impact on him. I was siting right next to him on the couch and we were talking about gurbani I think or maybe school.. I am not sure.. but he got quiet all of sudden.. and then he looked at me with his glittery eyes and said...

"putt..mei baut thak geya, sare kuch to jo kuch hoya..

mei bot thuk geya saara kuch soch soch key

dekh dekh key.hun menu eh nai chaida..

hun mei sukh lena chona va.

.bas gurbani parna chona."

"Son, I'm very tired now, with everything that happened...

I'm very tired thinking about all what happened...

All what I saw... I don't want that anymore...

I want to have the bliss of life now.

Just read Gurbani..."

I didn't know what to say... I was ... Because my daddy is the kind of person who doesn't really express himself. He keeps things inside. I am still not sure.. What he meant to say was he trying to say that he has fallen weak due to the "past" or was it fear?

Did he say that because he is tired?? or did he mean to say that he is tired of the fight!! or struggle!! I don't know!!

I am sure that it isn't just my dad who worries so much lives with those bad memories.. all I am trying to say though is that you may think that it is the past but for some people it is the present because of those families of the Shaheeds families living in poverty, those fighters locked up in jails, cells and cages. Those orphans who are denied oppertunities..and kids lacking fatherly love..

I urge you, my brothers and sisters keep figting for liberty it is our right.. dont let punjab be killed by the hands of some overweight politicians

      Traveling in Punjab independently and safely (need good advice)

      By BhForce · Posted

      Umm, that's totally irrational, bro. There are plenty of prakash-dara Singhs in Punjab (less than we'd like, but still plenty). No one cares that you are sabat soorat. It isn't 1986. You can walk around in chola, kurta-pajama, or jeans. Whatever. If you want the look @dallysingh101 is referring to, just go into a cheap clothing shop (not a Western-style mall) and buy some shirts for 250 rupees or a track suit for 2000 rupees. You'll get the cheap stuff made in some sweatshop in Bombay.

      Concept of Sin

      By MokhamSingh · Posted

      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…

      Concept of Sin

      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

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      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.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      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!!
