OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM Gurdwara Parbandak Committee (GPC) GURDWARA SAHIB LEAMINGTON & WARWICK

The Gurdwara Parbandak Committee (GPC) of Gurdwara Sahib Leamington and Warwick in response to the misleading comments made on sikhsangat.com forum, confirms its position as follows:

· We acknowledge all Shaheeds and support the Sri Akhand Paath in their memory.

· The GPC is fully supporting the Sri Akhand Paath being held at Gurdwara Sahib Leamington and Warwick from 11th – 13th November 2011 in respect of Shaheeds.

· We have no intention of holding any Sri Akhand Paath in memory of Indra Ghandi as has been stated in the opening post on the forum.

Ok, provide the above and this on letterheaded paper signed by the current General Secretary:

1) What is the stance of the Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee on Shaheed Bhai Beant Singh, Shaheed Bhai Satwant Singh, Shaheed Bhai Kehar Singh, Shaheed Bhai Harjinder Singh Jinda, Shaheed Bhai Sukhdev Singh Sukha and other Shaheeds of the Sikh movement?

2) The committee or Stage Secretary did not say on stage on Sunday that we do not believe that these Singhs are Shaheeds but Terrorists, and we only believe those mentioned in the Ardas as Shaheeds?

3) The committee did not announce from the Stage that this Sri Akhand Path Sahib (The one in memory of the Shaheeds) is only organised by a MINORITY of the Sangat and the MAJORITY of the Sangat does not agree with this?

4) The committee will never hold, nor allow to hold a Sri Akhand Path Sahib for Indira Ghandi or any other tyrant.

Please clarify this, if you have the official backing of the committee and are a representitive then it should be no problem for you to provide the above on OFFICIAL LETTERHEADED PAPER.

Im a local member of Warwick and Leamington Sikh Gurdwara Sangat.

I can clarify to ALL readers of this post, that words have been fabricated and exaggerated to mis-lead peoples views on how the Warwick and Leamington Sikh Gurdwara is run on a daily basis.

I kindly urge ALL UK Sikh Sangat NOT to get too Excited by the material in this Thread.

Im not here to call anybody a liar, as I don't believe i have the right to judge anybody (much the opposite). I am merely saying that there are certain differences in opinion between some members of the local Sangat here in Warwick and Leamington. To be honest - WHERE IS THERE NOT ANY DIFFERENCE OF OPINION - ANYWHERE THESE DAYS?

How long can people differ with each other? What sort of example are you setting for the youngsters? Youth of Warwick & Leamington are Blessed to know that the Future is Bright and also feel that there is plenty of opportunity to LOVE one another and flourish with CHARDI KALAA.

DIFFERENCE IN OPINION: This inevitably causes minor conflict between individuals. We are fortunate to have a MAJORITY UNITED LOCAL SANGAT that are SEHMAT of each others opinions and respect each other as a whole - which is how Sangat should be everywhere.

I only look back two days ago to Sri Guru Nanak Dev Jis Gurpurab, to witness how the entire Local Sangat stuck together to support each other for such an auspicious occasion. We are UNITED as a whole and wish to remain UNITED and GROW STRONGER to educate our YOUTH, which are fortunate to have such a Beautiful Gurdwara in the Local Community.

Coach loads of people from ALL DIFFERENT Backgrounds still come to visit the Warwick & Leamington Gurdwara on a DAILY / WEEKLY Basis - each and every person walks away with LOVE in their Hearts and a Strong message to forward on to their Family & Friends - This paints more of a realistic Picture of the current State of our Beloved Local Gurdwara.

Im not here to offend anybody, just to tell you the Truth.

Bhul Chuk Maaf Karna Ji.

Oh Dear - does anyone in their right mind believe a gurdwara would hold a Sri Akhand Path Sahib for Indira Ghandi !!!????

The original poster on this thread stated this as fact full well knowing that would stoke up justifiable anger should such a plan be true - one has to question the motives behind these statements.

My understanding there are differences of opinion in Leamington Gurdwara however these are being talked through.

When you are not capable of engaging in debate, in desperation you resort to fabrication and lies

Sad times indeed.

To all members of Sikh Sangat, the last two posts are all made by newbies, by what intention as you can probably conclude yourselves.

These are not new issues Panthic.org has covered what has been going on, please see this website.

Why isit such a problem to issue the following?

Ok, provide the above and this on letterheaded paper signed by the current General Secretary:

1) What is the stance of the Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee on Shaheed Bhai Beant Singh, Shaheed Bhai Satwant Singh, Shaheed Bhai Kehar Singh, Shaheed Bhai Harjinder Singh Jinda, Shaheed Bhai Sukhdev Singh Sukha and other Shaheeds of the Sikh movement?

4) The committee will never hold, nor allow to hold a Sri Akhand Path Sahib for Indira Ghandi or any other tyrant.

So I understand .. newbies views are not valid as they are newbies (?) .. such suspicion brother, for one with such an open mind ..

As regards Panthic - yes not new issues .. however have trouble believing everything I see on that website (then again I am entitled to a view).

Would a statement on official headed paper signed by the General Secretary be good enough for you ? and an end to the matter ?

"Guru Panth Khalsa"

Newbie POSTER on this forum - However an OLD READER on this forum

Ive been Registered for ages here.

My post was to tell the TRUTH.

I have ZERO to do with the GPC of Warwick and Leamington. Im just a Sewadaar like the rest of the Sangat. Just want to tell the readers the reality of our Beloved Gurdwara.

Once again, if what your saying is correct and the alligations are false, please provide the below on letterheaded paper signed by the current General Secretary it shouldnt be a problem, the issue is not with the Gurdwara Sahib, its an issue with the stance, and the thinking of the committee:

1) What is the stance of the Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee on Shaheed Bhai Beant Singh, Shaheed Bhai Satwant Singh, Shaheed Bhai Kehar Singh, Shaheed Bhai Harjinder Singh Jinda, Shaheed Bhai Sukhdev Singh Sukha and other Shaheeds of the Sikh movement?

2) The committee or Stage Secretary did not say on stage on Sunday that we do not believe that these Singhs are Shaheeds but Terrorists, and we only believe those mentioned in the Ardas as Shaheeds?

3) The committee did not announce from the Stage that this Sri Akhand Path Sahib (The one in memory of the Shaheeds) is only organised by a MINORITY of the Sangat and the MAJORITY of the Sangat does not agree with this?

4) The committee will never hold, nor allow to hold a Sri Akhand Path Sahib for Indira Ghandi or any other tyrant.

Please clarify this, if you have the official backing of the committee and are a representitive then it should be no problem for you to provide the above on OFFICIAL LETTERHEADED PAPER.

Sangat Jwaab Mangdi.

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.  
    • Author Posted April 24   On 4/21/2025 at 2:43 PM, ipledgeblue said: sirr should not be nanga because keski is usually worn.   Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
