Just reading the sikh times on the net and jsut seen that committee memebers of guru nanak gurdwara smethwick supporting a mela that took place in smethwick in the park on 31st may 09.

whats going on!!!?

this year marks 25Years of 1984 and the Gurdwaras taking part and supporting a Mela!!!

this mela had punjabi singers including nachatar gill...

They should be using that money elsewere and not organsing a mela, wuith no pachar and nothing to do with sikhi not a mention of the march this sunday!

the vice president was one of the main guys who had put this whle mela together!

Waheguru Waheguru,

Whats wrong with these idiots?

Why can't they use that money, to sponsor Sikh Channel? sponsor Sikh World? or hold a Sikh Event? Get a famous kathakar to do Katha...

How stupid are these comitte members...

These people just think they are good holding mele.

WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

Bhul Chuk Maaf.

Gurfateh the two singhs that you have pointed out aren’t in the committee at Smethwick anymore, and the mela wasn’t organised by the Gurdwara nor was any money given to it from my knowledge.

The guy whohas a white beard is in the commetti and the other guy "vice-president" was in the commetti two weeks ago.

Also who went to the opening ceromony on the festival and who offcialy open the festival...was you there?????

That’s true he was in the committee two weeks ago but you have circle the wrong Singh as the president. The Singh to the left Avtar Singh Gill was the President of GNG Smethwick Two weeks ago not the one who is circled. iam not saying this is a good thing because majority of the thing maybe all of the things this male promoted were anti Gurmat.

Guy who open the male Sukhwinder Singh who you have circled as Vice President is also the president of the Smethwick Festival organising Committee. And as he is now not in the committee of the Gurghar I don’t see the problem in that.

SIngh you need to get all the facts before you post please

ermm the planning of the mela takes atleast a year??

Soo he was in the commetti when he was planning it....and he wasnt in the commetti prior to the event 1week....

and thanks for telling me that his the president for the smethwick festival aswell!

The main point if that former vice president of the Gurdwara is sposed 2 me promting the Khalistan Movement and Sikhi but NOOOO instead why doest he use his time as being a vice president on a big Gurdwara in planning such an event that is waist of time and no point!

U tell me whats the point in having the mala??

And oh yh when they had the mela last year he was the main one to giv them funding out of the Gurdwara!!

Why should the Gurdwara pay for bhangrato be played on the street???

I think the point here is that Gurdwara money has not been used for this mela, i live in SMethwick and hate this mela, so do alot of sangat that live here, but so what if he is organising the mela, if he wants to spend his time doing that, that’s his choice bhaji. many of the committee members of Gurdwara around the country spend hundred maybe thousands of pounds ever week on parties they throw for family members and friends were they have shrab and meat.

i agree that a person who is part of a Gurdwara committee should have a reasonability to the sangat, should avoid doing anti gurmat thing, but i think you are making a mountain out of a mole hill

as you can see not many people care about this topic apart from me and you singh, come no singh let start a different topic.

    • 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!!
