Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh,

Media is Mightier than the Pen! – especially when it's used to communicate the Gurbani the Guru's gave us through the Pen !!

Dear Singhs and Kaurs

Guru Gobind Singh Ji - KING of Kings, MASTER of Masters told us to raise the sword, or weapons, to protect ourselves, and others, as a last resort, and only when all other means had failed. As you know the sword can be used to protect innocent people of all races and religions, in the way Guru Gobind Singh Ji used it. Guru Gobind Singh Ji was free from enmity! Guru Gobind Singh Ji also told us to be trained in weaponry, at all times, for defending ourselves and others. Guru Gobind Singh Ji was free from enmity!

You also know that the sword can be used to slaughter innocent people the way Aurangzeb used it. Aurangzeb was a murderer who happened to be a ruler too.

You have all heard about the phrase "The Pen is mightier than the Sword" coined by playwright Edward Bulwer-Lytton. Guru Gobind Singh Ji's Zafarnama to Aurangzeb is the perfect example of this. If you read the Zafarnama you will see that Guru Gobind Singh Ji's pen was very mighty! Guru Gobind Singh Ji was the complete and perfect Guru, as well as being the complete and perfect warrior!!

Some of you may have also heard about the phrase by Robert Burton who said, "it is clear how much more cruel the Pen may be than the Sword". The laws Aurangzeb had enforced, which were written by pen, were very cruel indeed!

So what means, or methods, was Guru Gobind Singh Ji referring to when he said that we were to use those means, or methods, before we picked up the sword, or a weapon? Well in my humble opinion, I think Guru Gobind Singh Ji was referring to ALL means possible before you were forced to pick up a weapon. So Guru Ji would have been referring to the Pen, and communication in general, this is backed up by Guru Ji's Zafarnama to Aurangzeb. The single most powerful media, for communication, in the world today, is Television!!! As Guru Ji was referring to communication should we not follow Guru Gobind Singh Ji's command and use this very very powerful media to help Sikhs learn about their religion? And, anybody else who wants to learn about Sikhi?

So as Sikhs, is it our duty to support the Sikh TV Stations? Or should we ignore Guru Gobind Singh Ji's command and not use these very powerful means and methods of self-defence?

Please contact the Sikh channels below and see how you can support them. They all need financial support to survive to serve you, Sikhi, and humanity!!

Please also ask your friends and family to support these Stations by becoming members. These channels reach millions and millions of people:

Can all employees and sevadaars of the above stations communicate in a very warm and welcoming fashion when you are contacted by somebody who wants to become a member of your station, or give you financial support (remember - you are a representative of your station!!!) .

      Concept of Sin

      By MokhamSingh · Posted

      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…

      Concept of Sin

      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!!
