Gurdwara Scandal - Singh Sabha Uk (havelock Road, Southall)


Recommended Posts

you may think what you like of me but please believe this, i am not posting under any different names. these are my own ideas.

this next question is for anyone and everyone.

if your son or daughter wanted to marry a hindu/muslim/christian/athiest what would you do? assuming the first method did not change their mind, how far would you go?

geo, your replys are strangely familiar to arjunsingh, who would have thought. Not once have i mentioned violence, yet you try to make out that those who are loyal to Sikhism as fundamentalists, quite a cheap tactic.

i never said you mentioned violence. i simply said that we should not use violence to prevent or protest at inter faith marriage

Guys, stop scrapping it isnt productive !

All I can say is that the Matrimonial List is another channel for someone to find a partner. The Gurdwara is providing this as a service to the Sangat. If there are Hindus, etc on the list then so be it. There is immense pressure to get married from parents. They are 'event' focused -just want to see their kid get married asap. What many families forget that marriage is 'relationship' based and that is why after a few months problems/ divorce creeps in.

Many families regard themselves to be Indian/ Punjabi/ Jatt, Ramgharia, etc and then Sikh. So the notion of Sikh marrying a Sikh doesnt apply. So when we have 'Hindu-Punjabis' they think its acceptable. These families lack grit !

Coz especially if its a Hindu-Punjabi guy marrying a Sikh girl he will always have his way (ie. Hindu customs, etc) when the child is born, etc -the Sikh girl is just thankful she has got married (not realising she has given up her heritage for this relationship).

I say 'good stock' only marry 'good stock' -let others do as they please. Its all free enterprise.

If that's the case, would it be ok for other people from other religons to also join the list. What does it matter if a Sikh meets a Christian who is on the list. Yeah, Why Not.

There are people who are embarressed about what I am talkin about now, because they are either the helpers of the service, or those who use the service don't want to limit their chances as it were.

There he goes again, Geo's fave word. Have you been watching Sesame Street. Is the word of the day "violence"

    • 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!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
