Ms514, just that you know, I was writing my message the same time you were writing yours. So my comments were written before even your message appeared on my screen, but to Chakarvarti who mentioned about committees being corrupt etc.

True that I cann't speak on behalf of all the committees and true that no one can label all the sevadars as being corrupt either. Some people do genuinely want to do sewa and other committee/sangat members don't let them peacefully. Sad but true.

But anyways, the topic was about rummalas, so lets stay focused. I have nothing more to say as if I do, I might accidently get labeled as not being respectful to Guru Sahib.

For me (which could be different than your views), there is piyar for Guru, when you sit and listen to Guru, follow Guru, do chaur sahib, serve its creation, speard the word of Guru as much as you understood yourself, and be the better begger, not the giver of expensive clothes etc. I have nothing of my own to give to Guru anyways. Whatever I have is given by Guru anyways. as Guru Sahib said, mere kol taan bas ik Guru dee ditee rasna hai, from which I can jap naam. Guru's given feet, which can walk towards Guru. Guru's given hands, which can do sewa as much as possible. Guru's given brain, which if Guru bhave taan, can understand the Guru's shabad and speard around. Guru's given Nitnem, that my rasna can recite. WHAT I HAVE TO OFFER TO GURU anyways?? Nothing, which I can say, belongs to me.

Rumalla Co veer, Thank you for dropping by on Sikhsangat and very nice to see sensible and educated people taking care of this sikh rumalla need. If you have a website with easy ordering process then it will be easy for sangat to order. Just a suggestion from another Sikh.

Good Luck

Some lovely work there brother.

Throughout Sikh history there have been people who have done seva of very small and simple things and very large and expensive things. Just because something is cheap doesnt make it good, and just because something is expensive doesnt make it bad, and vice versa. The Guru sahibs accepted seva of all types from all people. If a poor man gives 5p cus thats all he has, then its the same as a rich man cleaning out his bank account. Neither is better or worse then the other, just different as according to the karam maharajh set out for them (in regards to wordly wealth).

When looking at history we remember the stories about how maharajh accepted small offerings, but also remember how maahrajh was given amazing horses (which when stolen he sent bhai biddhi chand ji to recover), the weapons, elephants, guns, chandoas etc given to guru gobind singh ji maharajh as well etc. Dont look at the price tag, thats up to each person for themselves, dont look at each other, we all have our seperate karam, just do what is right for your guru. Sometime maahrajh dressed as emporers, others times as simple faqirs, its maharajh maojh, they do as they please!

    • 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!!
