Ideal Way To Use Daswandh

At present, it seems the dasvand of the sikh panth is used against the sikh panth. It goes into the pockets of dusths like badal, touts like sarna and sell-outs like ragi darshan sharma.

We are going to enter a horrible period of energy crisis and food shortage in the future. The present economic crisis is only the beginning. I feel the best way to use our dasvand is to BUY AGRICULTURAL LAND.

The land will belong to the Guru. Sikhs will do the farming which will give them and their families food plus the food produced will be given to sikh sangat at very reasonable rate. I feel this is the ideal way to use our dasvand.

This idea is not that difficult to implement. The sikh youth (not the elders especially those born in India) shud take the inititave of doing this seva.

It wont give them just a job, it will give them dassan nauhan di kirat which will help them greatly in spiirituality. It can start anytime we want. All we need is the will to start it. 5 sikhs shud be chosen and shud be made the joint Project Managers. They shud have a joint account. All the dasvand goes into the account. 5 singhs with advice from sangat buy land and then post jobs. I am ready to give my entire dasvandh for this project and others will have to do the same.

Places like BC (Abbotsford) are like HEAVEN in this world which has become HELL. There are still some great places in USA which are good for farming and there are some very nice ones in Europe too.

Are there any 5 young sikhs ready to start this initiative ??? Then we can buy land in Madya Pradesh and Mahrashatra and give jobs to VANJARA SIKHS AND side by side chakka them amrit and make them rehitvaan amritdharis.

Sant Baba Jarnail Singh ji Bhindrawale, used to do farming. He wasn't well educated for school, but no body could ever challenged him in any case....

Has anybody watched the last movie of Harbhajan Maan, Mera Pind. I think the message of the movie is very nice. The Punjabis should restart working. Most of them are trying to go outside, to foreign countries. But there is no money, whether in America, UK or Europe any more....

We should be more active in Punjab. I think Sikhi in the Western Countries for Parchar is working well. We should more focus on Punjab, cause even in the villiages you won't find so much Keshdaris like in one Gurdwara in Western Countries.

Fateh Ji,

My submission is that where Daswand is mandatory for a Sikh its also mandatory that Sikhs ensure that Daswand reaches the right cause.

I feel we should earmark our Daswand for various causes. And also do sewa of dhan with our mann and tann so that the Sewa of Dhan reaches the right cause and is not pilfered away. There is merit in the argument that a lot of the Sangat's maya is pilfered away by unscrouplous people.

Like if you are getting Langar done your presence during the preperationa and serving as a Sewadar will ensure that the maya you've given is not pilfered.

On the land..... well in Israel they have th Kibutz which is collective farming and living. Via this mode Sikhs can not only be gainlfully employed but also contribute to various causes in cash and kind.

The idea seems plausible but there can be some flaws. Such as disagreement between the five.

The idea of donating dasvand to sikh schools in poor area's is also quite good. This way you know that the money you donate is helping someone to improve their life.

In terms of the comments made of where the sewa of dasvand goes to, once we have given the sewa it is bheta to Gurusahib. We shouldnt worry about it going in someones back pocket. The fact that we gave it as sewa is all that counts. If everyone adopts this view then no one would give dasvand.

well .. actually nonsense idea.. we need sikhs to be educated.. and be d top bureaucrats and technocrats. . and u want to go back to 18th century.. and start farming.. try to refrain from such ideas.. and go lil progressive..

I think you are a bit wrong here. Farming is not a bad choice. Saying "These farmers are dumb that they are still doing what majority of people were doing in 18 century" is pretty immature statement. We should be thankful to all farmers who provide food to us and its very honor job to do.

On the land..... well in Israel they have th Kibutz which is collective farming and living.

I heard about that and i think its very very good thing to do.

Dear sis,

If an amritdhari gives his dasvand to Gurdwara, I agree he has done his duty, at the same time there is a thing called BIBEK BUDHI and there is nuthing wrong in using that(especially when there is a tough economic crisis or chances of civil war or anarchy). Dasvand is an AMAZING AMAZING part of sikhi. It was the dasvand that Khalsa had weapons, banaa, horses, in 18h century.

These days our dasvandh is being used to slander Sri Dasam Granth, used by touts like Navjot sidhu to help RSS stinky bhayas to live in Air conditioned rooms in Sri Amritsar Sahib, used by Badal to have a trip to USA(bringing his entire family with him), used by "sants" to drive cars worth 50 lakh etc.........

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
