If you are staying at the serai, don't place took much hopes on your advanced booking. Unfortunately it is easily "misplaced" etc etc.

This is particularly so during Gurpurabs and major events - where people with connections (politicians etc) are given priority over the Sangat.

Try Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Niwas and if somehow you do not get any rooms, there is one hotel directly opposite and another nearby.

Personally I prefer Le Golden Hotel as it is very near to the Clock Tower. It belongs to a Gursikh and advanced booking can be done. Also, if you have hotel booking, your vehicle is allowed to travel right up to the hotel (Roads nearby are closed during peak hours and you have to WALK with your luggage if you get there during those hours or transfer to a rickshaw - Policemen on duty actually called the hotel to ask if there is a booking under my name).

Carry your passport with you at all times.

If your stay doesn't cover any Gurpurabs, celebrations then you don't really need to worry about advance bookings. If Guru Gobind Singh Jee NRI niwas is fully booked, then you can stay at Mata Sahib Kaur NRI niwas for 300 rupees per night. This niwas is near SGPC Guru Arjan Dev Jee Niwas and two blocks behind Gulati tailors. Both of these niwas's are cheap and have AC. Other than that, theres loads of hotels to stay at but they are pretty expensive.

The NRI Niwas is good but as someone mentioned rooms are reserved for Badal's people and it is quite political. Also, they often limit the number of days you can stay. They don't seem to like shardawan GurSikhs who want to stay a few days sad.gif

The bigger hotels that are opposite the NRI Niwas and near the Akal Takhat Sahib are quite expensive (approx 1000 rupees per night). If you have trouble getting a room in a Niwas then I can recommend 'Sher-e-Punjab' Guest House which is towards the other side to the Akal Takhat Sahib, near the Guru Arjan Niwas. I went there about a year ago and they charged 300 rupees a night. There was also no limit on the number of days you could stay and it was walking distance from Harimandar Sahib.

      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.
