Some Singhs from up North met the Jathedaars last night at Shepherd's Bush Gurdwara. I hear they fully endorsed the Satkaar Campaign, and the Singhs said they have this on video.

On Monday night, the Jathedaars were asked to take strict action against Dudley, and they they gave an undertaking that they will write a letter to the Dudley committee once they are back in India, asking for the committee to stop or pesh at akaal takht.

It's the turn of the "Sikh Media" now to start advertising the protest. Hopefully, they will step up to do this soon.

I saw a scroll on Sikh TV yesterday about the protest.

Sounds like Dudley Committee Wale once again flexing its muscles and endless resources to promote there agenda.....I wouldn't be suprised if they bring the heavies in at the rally.....the lengths and determination they are going to side step any rules to satisfy there thirst and hunger for maas and sharab and to keep both the gurdwara and the centre in there control is amazing!!!

[Into the Light]

This is a direct attack on Sikhi by these masands! It is the duty of all Sikhs young & old to show their support in numbers next Saturday and let it be known that this type of beadbee will no longer be tolerated anywhere in the UK.

A huge bentee to everyone out there...please ensure you attend in large numbers!

Protocol for Peaceful Anti-Beadbi Rally at GNSS Dudley on Saturday 28 May 2011.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

Sikhs are requested to start gathering at the Guru Nanak Singh Sabha Dudley Gurdwara at 2pm sharp.

A large Sikh presence is requested to show the GNSS Dudley Committee that the UK Sikh Sangat has been deeply hurt by the sacrilege that is being permitted and promoted by the Committee of allowing meat, alcohol and tobacco within the Gurdwara's premises. This is strictly against an edict given by Akal Takhat Sahib (the highest decision-making/spiritual authority for Sikhs) in its 2006 Sandesh to the entire Sikh Nation.

All Sikhs attending are requested to observe and note the following Protocol.

- Sikhs must join in and take part in the Naam Simiran, Mool Mantra, Chaupai Sahib Jaap that is intended to take place on the day, so that the Khalsa Panth receives blessings from Guru Ji to prevent all this Beadbi happening.

- Sikhs must show restraint and conduct themselves respectfully even when addressing the Gurdwara Committee members and their supporters, the Police or any attendees of the Party. Do not engage in any arguments or debates.

- The power of Sikh Community (men and women, old and young) turning up in large numbers, showing solidarity and restraint, adhering to Guru Ji's principles, will portray a stronger message to this Committee and the other Gurdwara Committees who allow this Beadbi to happen on a weekly basis in Gurdwara properties.

- Sikh and non-Sikh media will be present for you to voice your concerns to the wider Community.

- Support those Gursikhs who will be taking a lead on the day.

- The Sikh Community from across the UK will be uniting to attempt to stop this Beadbi from happening on the day, though Sikhs attending must understand that there still may not be a resolution during the rally. Along with the blessings of Guru Ji, the Sikh Sangat's continued and ongoing support and vigilance will be required to ensure the success of the Satkaar Campaign

- Intimidation or violent behaviour will NOT be tolerated. Do not come looking intimidating i.e., do not wear hoodies or any face coverings. No swearing or slogans will be permitted. To show solidarity please wear blue Dastaars, Rumallas and Chunnis

FINALLY, REMEMBER, you will be representing the roop of Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaaj.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

Vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh

What a shame that our Gurdwara Sahib are acting like this, they should be leading examples of Sikhi. Makes you think why they even bother being part of running a religious institution.

I am making placards for the day and my family is all coming down we hired a van , we have to make a stand and stop this from happening. may dad was saying if we can even stand up for this then whats the point in being Sikhs.

The growth of cults and young sikhs moving away from their faith is due to the people running our religious places. They dont practice what Guruji preached. May Guruji give these ppl some wisdom. Would Guru Nanak Dev Ji be proud off this type of activity, Jesus went into the temples ended the wrong things ppl were doing, every one has to make a stand.

Heard the sikh channel are doing a program about this and we should contact the local press and tv to come down and see whats happening.

I just read about the Gurdwara reform movement in the 1920s this is a a great example for us, we need to remove the bad ppl from our gurdwaras.

Akal Takhat Sahib Jathedaar confirms 2006 Sandesh still applies

Clarification on letter to Ramgarhia Sikh Temple, Birmingham

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

As the UK Sangat may be aware, 5 Singh Sahibaan (including Jathedaar of Akal Takhat Sahib, Singh Sahib Giani Gurbachan Singh Ji) were present in the UK in the last week. The UK Sangat took this opportunity to seek the support and encouragement of Akal Takhat Sahib's Jathedaar for the Satkaar Campaign. Sevadaars have been informed that the Jathedaar gave statements supporting the Satkaar Campaign in Derby on Saturday 14 May, in Gravesend on Sunday 15 May, in West Bromwich on Monday 16 May and in Central London at Central Gurwara (Khalsa Jatha) on Wednesday 18 May 2011.

Importantly, the Jathedaar and his PA, Bhai Jaswinder Pal Singh Ji, confirmed that the 2006 Sandesh still applies in full force, and it is not superseded in any way by a letter from Akal Takhat Sahib to Ramgarhia Sikh Temple, Birmingham dated 31 March 2011. This letter is attached below:

As the Sangat will see, this letter is very vague and it does not suggest that the 2006 Sandesh has been revoked. Unfortunately, we are aware that certain Gurdwara committees may be seeking to use this letter to continue justifying/re-starting their Manmat of permitting meat, alcohol, tobacco, parties and dancing on Gurdwara premises. We alluded to this letter in our Press Release of 5 May 2011, though as the Sangat will see, Bhai Jaswinder Pal Singh Ji (who is also the signatory of the letter to Ramgarhia Sikh Temple, Birmingham) clarifies beyond doubt that this letter does not undermine the 2006 Sandesh and that it still applies in full force, in the video below:

Rather than seeking to find clever ways to justify having meat, alcohol, tobacco, parties and dancing on Gurdwara premises, we would once again humbly request the relevant offending Gurdwara committees to come within the Gurmat-fold. This also applies to the GNSS Dudley Gurdwara committee, where the UK Sangat is reminded of, and requested to attend on Saturday 28 May 2011 from 2pm, a peaceful protest against a meat and alcohol party being held at GNSS Dudley Gurdwara.
