you can send anything up to 2kg in weight free through British Forces post at the Post Office. They are short of most basic things like toiletries/snack foods, wipes, tissue roll etc.

The address is

A Member of the Nursing Staff

HOSPITAL SQN UK MED GROUP

CAMP BASTION

AFGHANISTAN

Fateh!

Nice seva and a good opportunity for Sikhi to be shared with the injured soldiers.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to get the sangat at your local gurdwara to donate a few things. Include a letter, signed by sangat who want to help, describing who Sikhs are, what we believe, and the Sikh ideal of charitable giving. Maybe send a photograph of the sangat so that the soldiers who have been injured in combat realise that not all people wearing turbans and sporting darees are the same.

I think I might do just that myself.

Regards,

K.

Its good thats it free to send to.

But 2kg in free postage would mean some essitanls like wipes/snacks and other things mentioned.

Theres must be Sikhs in the British army ??

If you go to "Poundland" or the "99p store" im sure theres something you can send.

Seeing that you guys are in such a giving mood, perhaps you can also send something to this cause as well

what have you given? i'm just asking to get some kind of idea on how we can help as you obviously know so much about it already.

anything you send will be appreciated. just an idea: send some spicy sauces (or ketchup or anything that adds flavour to meals) as you can imagine the food out there can get depressing after a while.

Bruv the foods top notch...Im in the Territorial Army and trust me when I say they don't compromise with the standard of the food...

    • 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!!
