Huh? you thought the programme was good? whether we were singled out or not, there still shouldn't be programmes that disrespect any religion...

Replying to Goodness Gracious Me Being A Sikh

I think we all missed about the message in the video.. how much do the parents really know about Sikhi or may be how much does the youth of today knows about Sikhi ..??

pagg on a man is a Sikh is what many think, doesn't matter if its UK, States, india or Aus ..

We must make the foundation strong and that can only be done if first of all we educate ourselves about Sikhi and then try to make the ppl around us understand what Sikhi is all about, Do not preach/boast about our knowledge but just make them understand..

that video is pretty funny and although it may be seen to criticise the sikh faith, there is a clear message which someone has mentioned above.

Our parents and majority of sikh parents don't have in depth knowledge of sikhism. It's not their fault either, their generation was a generation of survival i.e. india partition and immigration from india/africa to the west.

Things are changing however, just like in the video, the youth are questionning and gaining knowledge which our parents never had! We are entering an age where knowledge is easily available and transferrable.

I was listening to a lecture From Sri Singh sahib yogi bhajan who said something along the lines of "I don't believe the sikh religion has started of yet, we have simply been hired by time and space to carry the Sri Guru Granth Sahib into the coming years. If time serves correctly, we shall see the sikh religion prosper from 2038"

so put 2038 in your diaries people!!!!!! :)

lol you told him man pugh, pugh man

weather intended or not the video has got a deeper message. like people said parents dont have any knowledge about sikhi and if they do they fail to share it with there kids. and if a kid asks about sikhi majority of the answers are like that.

I hope our generation can do something to make a difference.. :pray:

      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

      By BhForce · Posted

      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!!
