Fundamental, strict taleban type mods. There are two people making veiled sexual comments here, do something now or be responsible for the corruption of young Gursikh minds...............

Seriously though, you two have lowered the tone of the site significantly!

Vaaheguroo Jee Kaa Khaalsaa Vaaheguroo Jee Kee Fateh,

I think I am going to have to agree with 'Kizarny' on this and say that the way the whole 'gorai' statement did seem to me a little bit derogatory. Not all white people are the same, just like not black people are the same or that all muslims are terrorists.

Everyone is an individual and can't be grouped to all be the same, simply because of their physical appearance etc. Its stupid stereotyping.

I don't really understand why in today's multicultural society why a selected few whether they are punjabi, white or black prefer to hang around with their "own people", and do not have multi-ethnic friends, yet to them, others who dont have multi-ethnic friends are considered to be ignorant or racist.

A key strength and great thing about Britain today :lol: is its rich cultural and ethnic diversity, with people from all over the world, whether it is India, Bangladesh, Greece, Thailand, China, America, Germany etc. I think its fantastic!! I am glad I live in such a generation.

However, I am also a supporter that people should live by the mainstream "culture" shall I say, in the country in which they live. I am not saying that all people are expected to go to pub on a sunday afternoon for a "pint with the lads", or go on Saint George parades cladded in the white and red flag - but that a countries beliefs which it is what has made it great, and attracted people from all over the world, should be respected and followed.

I hope I didn't offend anyone as this wasn't my intention.

MULTICULTURALISM - FTW!

TC. GOD BLESS.

i think its best to be around positive, intelligent and funny people who respect your beliefs, but it doesnt matter who they are.

as for the living in a country thing, all i have to say is that countries change. there are no set rules, beliefs, or even law somethimes. wow, look at me get all serious now.

    • 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…
    • 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
    • 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.
    • 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!!
