Bhai Roop Singh is carrying such a positive portrayal of a Khalsa roop from the North of Britain to the South. Look at all the potential awareness he will raise for the Sikh roop.

It's an embarrassment that the Sikh community has only managed to donate £1,000 to this charity event so far with a target of £3,000 which is a drop in the ocean for the Sikh population. Show's how self-centered and insular the vast majority of todays GurSikhs are.

I see what you're saying, but who knows just how much some gursikhs are donating to charities? Just because they aren't donating to charities through Roop Singh's event doesn't mean they aren't at all donating to charities directly themselves... smile.gif I'm not donating because I don't particularly like Sikhnet.com because of some of the funny veechaar on there, but it doesn't mean I don't donate to charities myself, but it doesn't mean I do either lol so you see... we just don't know smile.gif

wjkkwjkp!

Hau Apraadhi Jee.. you have a very valid point in that we cannot say who donates and who doesnt, however, with regards to the fundraising event that Roop Singh has chosen to undertake, this event is not only one of a kind but is also for 3 completely different charities. Parkinsons disease is an illness that effects the nervous system and at present is incurable, £1000 would not only help with research into the illness but could potentially help to obtain a cure for a disease that affects alot of Sikhs around the world. Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital has been established for many years and has been the biggest children's hospital in the UK for decades. The work and commitment they have to ensuring the young children have a stable and healthy childhood is incomparable. And as for SikhNet.com - yes their veechars are often quite detached, however, they have promoted Sikhi to the wider communities for some years and have done something that I've not seen many websites do, which is cater especially for non-Sikhs.

So whether you agree or disagree with SikhNet, there are 2 other charities that will be benefitting from this event and from your donations. So please do not look with blinkered vision, but see the bigger picture and help to raise awareness for Parkinsons Disease, Great Ormond Street and SikhNet.

Roop Singh will be reaching his hometown of LEEDS today... :D

    • 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.
