conversions to christianity is vastly progressing not only in out punjab but also in pakistan....

anyways... yea the guys a speng. his story is sad, but at the same time 'sacha naam mera adharoo'. The lords name is our only support.... if he gave up sikhi on the basis of not recieving money and medicines then he chhaked amrit under false pretences.

anyways, moving on.... we should all suppoert khalsa aid. sevadars and seva of khalsa aid are great.

stay united and support our quam.

I think you have a lot to be thankful for !!!! the poor in the rural villages HAVE NO CHOICE................Why not volunteer with Khalsa Aid and visit rural Punjab, i am sure they be very happy.

Or are you just a typical arm chair general who never does anything ??

I think you are missing the point here. I disagree with the converted guy, as he left his religion because of certain situation. It is like saying, "I am willing to give up my dharam whenever i need to". I believe that is what you are supporting here? Are you in support of the guy who converted to another religion? I would be sympathetic with him and will probably give him money now or then as i believe that we should help all garreeb regardless of the RELIGION, caste, race, age etc...

I know the first hand situation of the rural village. I have spent more than 3 months going back and forth to understand the rural problems.. We (me, my friends and hundreds of SikhSangat.com forum users) donated close to 20 grand via SikhGiving and helped many of our brothers and sisters back in Punjab. One of our current project is bit related to the video you posted but it was bit different as the patient was strong enough to say NO to the christian missionaries. Guru jee always test humans and it is upto us whether we are strong enough to stay strong with our dharam or not. Have a good read here.

Excuse me, topic starter, I have been reading oyur posts and it is clear now that you simply make up assumptions and lies just to slander parchaarakhs. Do you have any idea how much sangat joins with gurbani through parchaar? Please get your facts right before saynig anything. What is your problem with parachaarakhs? Do you not wish for sikhi parchaar to continue? Why do you persist in slandering those who are try to bring people closer to Vaheguru???

Is there somethimg that you are missing or you just blinded by your Sant or Baba ? I NEVER said i had problems with Pracharaks , what i said and will stick to is that i have huge problem with "super sants/babas who visit western countries and collect millions of $$ and do nothing for the ordinary people of Punjab. These same babas very energetically and viciously attacked Babu Mann and yet NONE of them held a smagam for the 25th Anniv of the Delhi massacres !!!!

I have a very high regard for all Pracharaks but not self styled super sants/baba ruffians !!!tongue.gif

Like i said , you have plenty to be thankful for !!! Please tell us all the answer to the folloowing : if people are strong enough to live through poverty and hunger then why have so many Sikhs converted to Christianity ??????

I am glad very happy to here that you have been in the villages of Punjab but it looks like you have not really grasped the depth of the Christian onslaught , i hope one day i too can spend 3 months in Punjab.

You are so underestimating the despration and hopelessness of poverty !!!!blink.gif

Hoshiarpura, friend, it's hard to understand what you're so angry about. The poster before you actually put in some hard time doing actual seva. As you hinted, it's probably been a while since you've been in Hoshiarpur.

Sorry to say this, but while you're sitting in USA (or whereever), you put down those who preach in Punjab. Doesn't that seem hypocritical that sangat who wants to listen to the vichars of a particular preacher or sant can't ask them to come to Canada? Why is it wrong for a preacher to go outside of Punjab on the request of sangat. If you say it's because there's a need in Punjab, well there's a need in Punjab for you, too, right?

Again, while the Christian missionaries are doing there thing, why are you so against Sikh preachers? Yes I know you said preachers are OK, sants are not. But your reasoning doesn't follow.

You said sants don't do anything for the poor. But preachers, of course, don't, and can't do anything either, because they have to work, and they don't have a large source of funds.

By the way, just to make sure we're talking about he same thing, what do you mean when you say "preacher"? What kind of preacher is OK by you?

You said you don't like sants who come to Western countries. So does that mean sants who don't come to Western countries would be OK by you?

      Concept of Sin

      By BhForce · Posted

      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

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      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.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      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!!

      Is suraj parkash right? is it a reliable source of info?

      By BhForce · Posted

      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.
