Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa,

Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh,

Dear Sadh Sangat Ji,

There seems to be a lot of rumours and finger pointing going on over the last few days.

We would like to make a few things clear:

We have only the utmost respect for Sangat Trust and all Sewadars involved in the betterment of our Community.

The filming was sponsored, sanctioned, filmed and edited by members of Sangat TV crew.

The SAS did not at any stage bypass the normal procedure for the "Sangat Awareness Show" to be aired.

Any sensationalised Text Message did not originate from the SAS.

The filming was done in a responsible manner as to not provoke any negative reaction.

We accepted Sangat TV's decision to cancel the show and reported it as such, as a cancellation, without speculations to the reasons why.

We accept this to be a error of communication and look forward to working and supporting the Sangat Trust in future.

Please be aware that Sunday 22nd Jan Shows on Panjab radio and Sikh Channel was Not represented by members of the SAS.

We were told that the shows will cover grooming from a youth perspective, but we had no representatives on the show, nor were the guest aware of any details of the case in question.

We would urge the youth to work responsibly and collectively towards highlighting the problems at hand, without sensationalism, finger-pointing and spreading rumours.

Please can any media who wish to have a SAS representative kindly first contact us @ sas.helpline@googlemail.com

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa,

Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh,

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa,

Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.

Guru Paryaree Sadh Sangat,

It is with great regret we announce that tonight's show has been cancelled.

The show was the culmination of a 3 year ordeal of a once happy Sikh family who's world fell apart when they lost their child to grooming.

The recording was done over 4 weeks going into great personal detail, which took an enormous amount of courage from the family. They did this for one reason and one reason only; in the hope it may protect someone else's child.

Sangat TV had sponsored, recorded and edited the show.

The show received enormous publicity though SMS, Facebook and other social media.

4 hours before the show was due to air, Sangat TV decided to cancel the program.

Sikh Awareness Society (SAS) made it clear the program was clearly inline with ofcom rules and there was nothing questionable in it's contents.

SAS will endeavour to bring you this program via an alternative route within the next few weeks.

Our sincere gratitude to the family who allowed filming during a deeply traumatic period in their lives.

We thank those who helped publicise this program and will notify the Sangat with an alternative time for airing.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa,

Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.

^^^^^^the above was posted by SAS when you found out that sangat tv cancelled your show. WHY THE SUDDEN CHANGE OF ATTITUDE? the first post it seemed as though you were shocked and offended by what sangat tv had done, and now you STILL want to work with them????!!!

How can you even think about working with the same people again after they went back on thier word?

I suggest you choose the people that you work with very carefully; here it is clear that sangat trust has broken the trust between them and the sangat. The general public are disgusted with what sangat tv done. Sangat trust does not seem to have any regards for sikhi or even any pyar for sikhi they are simply using ‘sikhi’ as a revenue tool to see how much money they can make.

They absolutely flopped it during the time of the riots by becoming a muslim community channel for a short while. Indecently I would not be surprised if Sangat trust was paid off by certain muslim leaders not to show the programme………….

Anyway SAS please stop being hypocritical like sangat tv! By teaming with sangat tv you will not get anywhere as they are full of cow dung.

      All Gurdware should be like this

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      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.

      Self care of hair

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      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.

      Nidar Singh Nihang X The Ranveer show podcast

      By ipledgeblue · Posted

      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.

      Why are starched turbans hated?

      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?
