Run really fast from them... They are the worst business minded, sikhi twisting ppl i have ever known in US. Stay away from them !!!! Sikhri/Fateh/PDL/Sojhi/Saanj/Jakara/Jagomiami and several other orgs/retreats are usually run by same mindset of ppl !!!!

i wouldnt go to any of there retreats as well, i have been to 3 of their workshops and in every three they would say something totally out of my knowledge about sikhism and one thing that never changed was that they always said that meat/ egg is allowed in sikhi and they say that guru ji never said that we cannot eat that

so plzz a benti to you tell your peers about such organizations for them to not attend these retreats and try as much as possible not even let them have a venue at your gurughar

Stay away from them. Most of all main Sikhri volunteers/employees eat meat and yes they do wear gatraay for some reason :S Best advice is to stay away from them as far as you can and advice others to do the same !

Thanks but i'd like to know a little bit more than they eat meat lol what is it about the parchar exactly

Wear a gatra and eat meat, indeed that is very weird.

This kind of reminds me of Jakara in central-Cal. These groups are a good start though, if they had proper direction and a good goal I guess it'd be okay to educate the uninformed youth.

You'd be surprised how uneducated the youth is on Sikhi, but yeah a lot of change is necessary. I'm still not aware of all that goes on.

edit-

Good links, clarified a lot...thanks.

They are thugs.They go to india and say that they believe in Dasam Granth sahib.

I know they do not.See the proof below

They have completely omitted Dasam Granth sahib form their courses. They are experts in

lying and thuggery.

Beware of such rogue organizations who are eating at roots of sikhism and yet do

propaganda to the contrary.

Sikhī 101 - introductory overview of Sikh history and theology

PDL is awesome. They are doing great work with limited resources in my opinion. I can't comment on SikhRI, as along as PDLs efforts remain politically/theologically impartial I don't care.
