Is Sikh Channel Becoming A Gurdwara Commitee

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ke Fatteh

People may think i am on about the donations, but its the whole structure of the show. When Sikh Channel first started out, it was fresh, Young Sikh Naujwan taking part in katha, kirtan but lately it is becoming very predictable. They have discussions and to be honest i just get lost halfway through as it's completely random whereas before it was on specific topic areas. The whole channel just feels very commitee like, some old Singhs pulling the strings from the top, I used to like Bhai Manvir's Singhs katha and he's just disappeared. Does anyone feel the same?

The Sikh Channel is about appeal for donations but i am sure the companies owned by the Bal brothers ( Claim Today etc etec ) dont pay for the adverts. The quality should have improved by now, especially as they have been funded by the Sangat very generously. If the money is not spent on programming then where is it going ???

totally agree, i have emailed them several times to show

sant isher singh jee rara sahib vaalehs divaan - prime time

sant waryaam singh jee divaans

1984 videos prime time

sant jarnail singh jees katha

They have never got back to me

instead they show bangla sahib - issues is the katha vaachicks very oftenly say dodgy stuff - they are mainly students of missionary college background and are brilliant at confusing the sangat... and have made dodgy comments a few times, 2ndly they show that gurmat lectures, likewise the person is very confusing and dsnt add up half the time, once he was saying only read three bania, next e was speking bout a argument with sant jarnail singh bhindranvale.

The channel proclaims to be of the sangats - and a public interest company or something - if thats the case then put on what the sangat wants... and not the same old bla bla bla faces, chatting the same old ..... Its not even interesting anymore, at least if they play katha of mahapurkhs (puratan ones) then people will listen and will get gyaan, instead of random so called sikh personalities who dont even practice sikhi

I think the level of programmes are satisfactory! You can't meet all specific viewer requirements 100% but can reach a wider audience on a more mainstream platform.

Everyone has their bias on parcharaks from the pro-babay, the anti-babay, the taksali, the akj, the missionaries, the Sikh Channel or any Gurdwara committee can't be seen to favour or discriminate. They do however, I believe, provide a fairly balanced viewpoint on Sikhi and Sikh issues.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
