Gurdwara Beadbi

[Guroo Guroo Jaap]

Does anyone feel that the beadbi'ah happening in Gurdware are just getting worse and worse and not stopping at all? I can appriciate the fact that most of you dont know what im talking about because heavily Sikh populated areas like B'ham and Coventry dont have this problem. (Or so i hear!) I have been going to the Gurdwara a few times and noticing this more and more. I have even taken photographs of some of the beadbi and will post them up later on. I remeber trying to start some sort of group that could take issues like this in Gurdware but we couldnt start because we didnt have enough people. But something really has to be done about this. Maybe if i were to start the group again?? the local Gurdwara have gone as far as getting really expencsive seats (like they have in churches but i cant remember what they're called lol) for elderly people to sit on and this is in the Dabar Sahib infront of Mahraj. But now even middle aged people sit on there reading the newspaper and the commitee members sit on there counting their money. I say 'their' because we all know it doesnt belong to the Gurdwara. But there is just too much beadbi going on. Anyone feel the same? Or am i just paranoid lol.

Which Gurudwaras in particular? Ask the Granthi Singhs to stop people from reading newspapers etc inside the Darbar Sahib - they can do it outside.

Post the pictures so we can see exactly what is going on.

don have to be many...look at bhai bota singh and bhai gerja singh...they were only 2 of them...try not to get into fights inside the gurdwara...give bad impresion to the public...or u no what u can do...each time u got a chance...take out a nail from the chair...ask ur frens to help...and hope the chair will collaspe on its own...much safer for u there...

Some pictures, as promised! Im still in the process of taking pictures of the chairs in Dabar Sahib etc.

Posters and advertisements for a hindu dance group. Dass went to one of their shows a couple of years ago and they actually do all the pooja stuff during their performances.

Posters advertising a mela arranged by the Gurdwara comittees themselves to (and i quote) "bring youngsters into Sikhi, because they dont want to sit around doing Simran."

This clearly shows that the Gurdwara comittees aranged it and you must contact them to get tickets.

And this one has to be one of the worst for me. When i approached the comittee about this, and the local nang lol, they simply said he was the "God of ramgaria's". Dhan Guru Nanak

What happened to R4G campaign? :umm:

R4G is not an organisation..... Sikh Sangat is R4G Campaign....

What I dont understand why do people look at other to do something... We all have a duty to something when something goes wrong...

[confused]

just take them down, at my local they had advertisements for jobs for women to do eyebrows. i removed them on three occassions. thats life, if the committee aint gna do anything, u gta do it urself.

Gurdwaras here have problems like this. I was at a Gurdwara taking my shoes off and infront of me I see like 50 flyers for a Banquet Hall. Well, I took the flyers and chucked em right into the garbage
