Times are gone for josh/bir ras, these times are for cool heads to sit together and build a strategy...

Absolutely spot on.

If it wasn't for josh, the United States wouldn't be so powerful right now. They have agressively taken over many countries and if you don't have josh, other people or countries just walk all over you. Bir Ras needs to be there, and it certainitly needs to be pointed out to the rest of the interest groups, it's their, but whether to use it, is another whole topic.

Well it all depends on how you define josh? I define josh when our brothers are spewing death threats over radio and facebook against anyone who does not agree with them, burning indian flags, fighting over kursiya, yelling and shouting khalistan zindabad, hindustan murdabad, blocking roads over protest and causing nuisance to regular joe blow Canadian lives. With the hosh, buddhi and vidhi, there are lot of things we can do..we can win hearts, here is an example- http://britishsikhst...achment_id=1233

Chatanga and N3O Singh, we are sayin the same thing. Have Bir Ras, but know when to use it. That is the problem with the Sikhs today. Everyone jumps to josh right away, without exploring other ways of attaining the goal. Keep Bir Ras on your left hip, but only use it if it's the only option left.

Yes you are right, thanks for clarifying further. I never meant or suggested totally eliminate bir ras but use it when its needed as you suggested. sorry for confusion there.

How about some Singhs in Canada get training from a Public Relations company on how to project the Sikhs and their issues in a postive way. I know Canadain Sikhs have lost of funds why not spend it in this area. Also get some media training so you can respond to newspapers.

There is no way that group of sikhs who are in control of sangat money will ever go for this "really good" advice. They will not even entertain such advice given to them. They think it is total waste of money to hire a pr. Very much needed but will not be adopted unless new generation take over the control {which will happen after expiration of current generation lol}.

I thought the youth ran some Gurdwaras like Dasmesh Darbar

The PR company idea would be ideal. Each country has different reactions and experiences to different groups of people and therefore a Sikh Canadian PR exercise will give diff results to a UK one. I thought there was a Canadian Sikh Organisation or something similar, would they not put the money needed into this?

On the news panel on the side someone has collected a number of racist and death threats against the sikhs in canada. Asking for them to be shot, run over, murdered, deported etc.

Threats to Sikhs in Canada

I think this exercise needs to be expanded to include all of the other comments made against the Sikhs as well. Please can the technical know how guys ensure that even if the comments are removed from the threads/news boards that records are still kept. This thing needs to be developed and then published across the public with a direct comparison of the RCMP investigations into threats against one person. If possible any threats naming individual sikhs ie leaders of the gurdwaras etc need to be found. Once found the person named should contact the RCMP and request protection and full investigation as his/her life is being threatened. If they want to play the game, then we should play the same game, their rules!

Quite a few people have told me that the Sikhs in Can are viewed the same as the muslims are in the UK. If that is the case then perhaps they can learn from how the muslims here have played the game. Think of the term 'islamaphobic'. Where are criticisim of islam was labelled as islamaphobic, the muslims kept records of islamic hate crimes to include damage to persons and buildinds, comments made by politicians and members of the public, things from the press etc. They painted themselves as the victim who were being attacked from all quarters.

The Canadian Sikhs can perhaps take a leaf from this book and actually document what they are experienceing and at the same time show what they have contributed and what the sikh religion teaches.

    • 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!!
