Why is it that there are many Guru Ghars where we all know Comittees are profitting and we do nothing about it. Instead here you have someone who put up his property and we are accusing him of wrong doing?

Long live the finternet bureau of investigation.

Hang on a minute. Can't you read this situation ?

The man asked for the keys for a property he hasn't paid a penny towards and the academy said right here (on the first page) that the academy is all but finished, there is no room for negotiation, and they will hand the keys over to him tomorrow. It is because we here kicked up a fuss and let the academy know that the law of equity is on their side and they do not have to hand any keys over to this man that both that man and the academy have backtracked. So please my friend....either join the people that get off their backsides and get things done or don't say anything at all. If we left the situation in your hands the academy woulld have locks on their gates today.

I recently came from the academy and spoke to the sevaders about the situation.

They said to me that they the kids who go there, the continuation of the classes that take place there does not matter. All that matters is that Guru Sahib stays and the nishan sahib stays and doesnt come down. They said that they are looking for potential buyers who can run the place as a Gurdwara. They do not care if any sanstha, samparada, mahapursh, gurdawara take over and run it as a normal gurdwara and not as place for the youth with no place for them to do seva. All they want is that maharaj to stays in the gurdwara.

What I got from the conversation is that they are not bothered about themselves contiuing to do seva there. they said to it doesnt matter if they have to stop doing the seva of the classes and the general day to day seva so long as maharaj doesnt have to leave and the nishan stays.

No liveandletlive. Because i've decided from now on I'm gonna be just like you. Gonna just sit there with my finger up my bottom being pretty much useless. Every now and then I'll use up a bit of energy by criticising people that give free legal advice. Those kind of people really are the most evil and disgusting sort of people there are. They must be stopped. Or at least ridiculed.

A few facts, not one penny has been repaid towards the loan taken out, contrary to the messages from the academy sevadars during the previous fundraising requests

The person who raised the loan has not interfered in the running of the academy, and he was assured by the 'sevadars' that they would assume responsibility of the loan 2 years ago.

The current value of the building is considerably less than what was paid for it, and therefore the legal owner has no benefit, and will likely make a loss if he were to sell it

A question that needs answering, where are all the funds that were raised last year and this year, if the loan value has not decreased? Things are not quite as clear at the academy as we would all hope from a place that had such high virtues when it opened

^ Again, do you have any proof for what you wrote?

^ Again, do you have any proof for what you wrote?

Yes, I have spoken to the legal owner, and I can only promise you that I have no personal relationship with him. The statement from the academy even tells us that the loan has been secured and is still outstanding. The statement from the academy at the last fundraising told us that they had refinanced the loan, and it is untrue, 1.2m is still outstanding.

I am personally very upset that the academy will be closing, and it will put shame on our community that in an affluent Sikh area, we have not be able to fund it.

[HDSH 202]

So we are just suppose to take your word for it? While I have nothing against you personally, that does not sit well with me. If you make a claim on a public forum, you should provide direct evidence to support your claim.

I've always found the academy sevadars very welcoming and also very forthcoming when asked directly about the situation with regards to the academy. Again there is alot of hearsay a meeting must take place where all of the sangats questions can be answered. What annoys me is that they keep telling everyone theres a problem at the last minute i.e. a week before it was meant to shut down. Surely they should of contacted the sangat in plenty of time before this?
