I must reiterate - i DO NOT belong to any party / side / organisation

I do not favour the current Warwick & Leamington Committee over anybody else

I can think of more than 1 Amritdhaari person in the current Warwick and Leamington Committee

Im starting to think that your views are now biased - but why the negativity? (Rhetorical question) but i would not be surprised if you answered that.

Instead of repeatedly posting questions for the Warwick & Leamington Committee here - would it not be better to approach them in person? You have started off on a particular topic and then moved off on to XYZ topics too - all directed to the current committee. Your answers would come from themselves and im sure they would give you some sort of response.

None of anything i have stated in all my posts is intended to cause offence, so please dont take anything personally.

I just want to keep the Warwick & Leamington Gurdwara Sahib "in tact" and not mis-feed the entire world the wrong message of our beloved Gurdwara Sahib.

Bhai Sahib Ji, those issues be it X, Y or Z are still issues, they become issues because they are issues. Why dont you answer all of the questions asked to the committee instead of the selective ones? And providing justification for the Sharaabi committee.

Bhai Sahib Ji, i have NOTHING against our Gurdwara Sahib, the arguement is against the Anti- Panthic committee, please try and understand this.

What I am surprised at is if our beloved Parbandhak Committee is so milk washed why they cannot issue a simple statement on letterheaded paper? I'm not asking for a letter of reference because i want to apply for a job, this is a PANTHIC issue. What is holding the committee back in issuing this statement?

Why can't they take a stance? Will the Committee members tomorrow say anything on stage in favour of Shaheed Singhs? We will see. Then we will come back to this forum and make a new statement and see what the ACTUAL stand of the committee is.

Did or did not the committee state on stage that if today a minority of Sangat hold a Akhand Path in memory of these 'terrorists' then we can hold a Akhand Path for Indira Ghandi too as people consider her a Shaheed too?

I ask once again.... Please give in writing....

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.

Khalsa Ji, have some shame, Shaheeds Bhai Beant Singh, Bhai Satwant Singh, Bhai Kehar Singh, Bhai Harjinder Singh Jinda, Sukhdev Singh Sukha gave their everything for us, left their families, jobs, friends, homes, everything, just for us, and now we can't even take a stand for these Singhs. We cant even put posters up or hold Akhand Path Sahibs without being intimidated by committee wale?

I can not answer any questions directed to the current Warwick & Leamington Committee, the only input i have given so far is of my own opinion and what i have witnessed with my own experience in relation to any topic here discussed - I have told the Truth as best as i know it. Your right, you will have to ask the current committee themselves, they will respond to you and give you their own views on the topics.

I recall the Stage Secretary saying on stage last sunday - we are unable to post any images in the Gurdwara Sahib other then the Guru Jis. Other then this - i do not know im afraid.

I have shame, yes I do know what that is actually - so thanks for the Patronising comment (im not here to challenge you bhaji / bhenji)

I actually have a better suggestion - really what should have been YOUR response to the current committe would have been: DEAR COMMITTEE, PLEASE WOULD YOU ALLOW US TO HOLD A SMALL EXHIBITION IN HALL NUMBER 4 (BASEMENT) IN MEMORY OF OUR BELOVED SHAHEEDS. A SLIDE SHOW FOLLOWED BY A SMALL PRESENTATION PERHAPS (Stage Secretary could have announced it on Stage after the Bhog of the Akhand Paath)?? I personally would have asked the committee if they would allow this as an option to their response. Thats where i stand.

If you were granted permission for the exhibition - which im sure you would have been, as the Akhand Paath is held regularly every year - i would be glad to help organise the exhibition with you, as im sure many other Youth would like to be involved too.

I dont believe anybody is "milk washed". Nobodies perfect - we all make mistakes. I personally have made plenty, but not intentionally. We learn from them - we move on stronger.

Maybe the committee will say something on this topic? Maybe not? We will have to see. I personally dont think its fair to call them a "sharabi" committee either. Again - coming back to differences in my earlier posts - you cant tarnish everybody with the same brush.

This is a very sensitive issue and the facts need to be confimred before randomly sending around messages like this.

I have just spoken to someone in the committee there and and as it appears the ex-comittee and present are using this senitive issue to put each other down.

He said that they were NOT planning to hold an akhand paath for Indiara Gandhi and they were not going stop the akhand path at the weekend for the shaheeds, but the issue was around the orgniasers putting posters. The commiittee dont allow anyone to put posters up.

If anyone local has any more info would be appreicieated.

All i am saying is dont jump to conclusions before getting the facts right.

What this member has said is correct.

I know people who were in the meeting and these things were not said by the committee members. Please split fact from fiction before making threads like these. You're causing hate for no reason.

They did not want shaheed singh pictures in the Gurdwara, that much is true, however the bit about holding an Akhand Paath for Indira Gandhi is complete utter bull. Whoever made up such a thing clearly just wants some drama.

"Leamington Spa Gurdwara Committee Vows To Hold Akhand Path For Indira Ghandi" - where is the evidence for this statement?

Exactly - this I a very bold statement made to stir people's emotions it's looks like. This issue is very close to the heart of Sikhs and its wrong for these guys to use this as a tool in thier mud slinging.

amazing how the virtual world of internet is playing fire with personalaties and causing even more friction.

we will never get anywhere beleiveing everything on the net-

secondly if the gurdwara doesn't want picture or our shaeeds the nthey as well close the gurdwara down - gurdwara

-SGGS- is the bedrock of Shaeeds - these boyz have lost the plot

    • 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?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj.
