Unsensitive Timing For Bhangra Gig?


Recommended Posts

Its not really the first time there always some gig, on a gurpurbh, and its organised by people who know aswell, when it is, almost like people want to take advantage of the idea that parents in the gurdwara kids in the Clubs, Desilicious is on near or exactly on gurpurbhs the guys who run it are amritdhari Singhs.

It is a shame as line up looks good. But people are right to highlight inappropriate timing.

They're idiots, these gigs are a platform for a breeding ground of converts and islamic conversion tactics, as well as being highly disrespectful to a GURPURB, also bluestar is really important for any moral human being Sikh or not the bhangra industry lacks morals and nowadays portrays a fake pisshead culture.

Ultimately this just shows the lack of unity within 'Sikhs' ... the fact of it is, as amritdharis we need to look at whats going wrong, I believe that we really should portray Sikhi as inclusive rather than exclusive, I'm sure all sangat has seen monay or non-amritdhari Sikhs wanting to get involved only to find that some gursikhs feel they need to put themselves on a moral highground and claim they are true and right and all others aren't... this isn't how it should be and by doing so all we do is alienate the non-Gursikh youth with our lack of education facilities and priorities on us becoming better Sikhs rather than helping others.. VAND SHAKO not just in terms wealth or material possessions but also spirituality and knowledge. Many of my non-amritdhari friends echo that they feel 'left out' or looked down on by people who have taken amrit... not saying this is only the case there are alot of idiots who think they're big fishes going to gigs and totally ignoring and dismissing Sikhi... but in some cases when exclusion has occured we do need to teach and respect.

We could also speak to promoters, record companies etc. in order to make them aware of the importance of this period to the Sikh nation, its hurtful to think that infront of our eyes Sikhi is fading away within the non-amritdhari sangat its our responsibility to show pyaar and satkar to these people in order to guide them to Gurmat otherwise we'll be left with a handful of extremist 'we're right everybody else is wrong' sort of people, and a majority of 'rude boy bredrin wagwan' sort of people, no middle ground and no platform for guidance and education... we need to do it now before its too late, Gurdwaras and community organisations are the key to educate.

    • Umm, that's totally irrational, bro. There are plenty of prakash-dara Singhs in Punjab (less than we'd like, but still plenty). No one cares that you are sabat soorat. It isn't 1986. You can walk around in chola, kurta-pajama, or jeans. Whatever. If you want the look @dallysingh101 is referring to, just go into a cheap clothing shop (not a Western-style mall) and buy some shirts for 250 rupees or a track suit for 2000 rupees. You'll get the cheap stuff made in some sweatshop in Bombay.
    • 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!!
