We dont have the time to sit on forums answering questions all day unfortunately. We are already short of sevadars, which is disheartening when we see so many Singhs and Singhnia from our local area spending most their time on forums rather than being proactive and actually coming down and volunteering to help us out.

If anyone wants to discuss our policies or any of the issues any further, you can message me and we will arrange a meeting with the station executive panel for you to air your concerns. Thank you.

The executive commitee at the Sikh Channel have been discussing this issue for a couple of weeks - there have been various reasons as to why it has taken a little bit longer than we had hoped to sort this issue out. As a result of these discussions, Naamdharis have been banned from appearing on air. Raj Academy have been informed of this decision and have agreed to comply by this ruling.

Sikh Channel could you clarify the above statement? Have Naamdhari's been banned from merely appearing in the camera shot (in which case they would still be in the studio sitting alongside that ‘Professor’) or have they been banned from coming full stop.

If it’s the latter then I would say well done for finally resolving this issue. However, if it’s a case of not putting them in the shot but they would still be there; then that is not good enough.

As the SIKH Channel it is your obligation to uphold Gurmat principles. Allowing people who follow a Dehdaari, self-proclaimed Guru to do kirtan in the studio is not acceptable.

I hope you will clarify your stance on this issue as it has gone on for long enough now and the Sangat deserve an explanation.

Naamdharis have been banned from the stage fullstop.

Naamdharis have been banned from the stage fullstop.

If this is the case then well done SC. You have demonstrated that the Channel belongs to the Sikh Community and you are willing to action the hukam of the Sangat.

Thank you.

Sikh Channel, Thankyou very much for keeping us informed on your decision.

Most UK Gurdwaras take the issue very seriously and would not allow dehdhari groups on their stages. In light of the current climate regarding the high profile dehdhari gurus, it would make sense for all Gurdwara committees to really review the potential volatilty of allowing dehdhari groups on to Gurdwara stages.

    • 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!!
