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.

      Gurbani Santhiya

      By Dsinghd · Posted

      I was searching igurbani.com which gives correct pronunciation of Gurbani. I can’t remember all of it at once. I guess it relies on more practice, like more Sehaj Paths. The meaning becomes clearer. I have noticed slight variants in it. This could be because it’s written in old Punjabi.

      Veer Manpreet Singh claims we shouldn't worship Guru Granth Sahib ji

      By BhForce · Posted

      Veer Manpreet Singh, a lay preacher, claims that -Sikhs aren't supposed to worship Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We are only supposed to worship God as is written in Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We only "revere" Guru Granth Sahib ji.     He says a lot of other things in this video, some are good refutations of Hindu superstitions, but the reformers often go too far. Anyways, what he is saying about not worshipping Guru Granth Sahib ji is totally wrong. The reason is Guru Granth Sahib ji is Guru. Guru is Satguru. Satguru is God. We worship God. Therefore, we also worship Satguru (Guru Granth Sahib ji).   There are innumerable verses in Gurbani equating God and Guru. ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਡੁਬਦਾ ਲਏ ਤਰਾਇ ॥੨॥ The Guru is the Supreme Lord and the Transcendent Master. The Guru floats (saves) the drowning one. p49   ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਏਕੋ ਜਾਣੁ ॥ Know the Guru and God as One. p864   ਗੁਰ ਨਾਲਿ ਤੁਲਿ ਨ ਲਗਈ ਖੋਜਿ ਡਿਠਾ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੰਡੁ ॥ There is no one at par with the Guru. I have searched and seen the whole universe. p49 (If the Guru is the greatest in the whole universe, shouldn't we worship the Guru?)   I'd like to ask Manpreet Singh what is worship? Any reasonable definition would include obeisance, remembrance, and praise. Those are exactly the same things Gurbani says to do regarding Guru! Remembrance and obeisance: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਅਪਨਾ ਸਦ ਸਦਾ ਸਮ੍ਹਾਰੇ ॥ Ever, ever, I think of the True Guru, ਗੁਰ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਕੇਸ ਸੰਗਿ ਝਾਰੇ ॥੧॥ and the Guru's feet I brush with my head's hair. p387   Praise: ਗੁਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਆਪਿ ॥ The Guru himself is the transcendent Lord and the supreme master. ਆਠ ਪਹਰ ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰ ਜਾਪਿ ॥੪॥੧੬॥੬੭॥ Throughout the eight watches of the day, O Nanak meditate thou on the Guru. p387   In fact, Gurbani says the way to find God is to worship (puja) of Guru: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਧੋਇ ਧੋਇ ਪੂਜਹੁ ਇਨ ਬਿਧਿ ਮੇਰਾ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਲਹੁ ਰੇ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ Washing and bathing the True Guru's feet, worship thou them. In this way thou shall obtain my Lord Master. Pause. p1118   Could it be any clearer that we are to worship Guru ji?

      Bro, reciting a shorter Chaupai Sahib is hardly "anti-Dasam". It's fine to argue that the longer Chaupai is more traditional, but the short one isn't anti-Dasam. That's like claiming shorter Rehras is anti-Guru Granth Sahib ji just because there are fewer selections from Guru Granth Sahib. It might not be traditional, but it's not anti-Guru Granth Sahib. I prefer the longer versions, but let's not exaggerate. Every tradition has a slightly different Rehras version. Nanaksar vs Taksal vs Nihangs and so on. The basic template for Rehras is at the beginning of Guru Granth Sahib ji. Later, Chaupai Sahib was added and Anand Sahib always follows as the end of a process. Then some sangats added more saloks to start Rehras and others were added at the end. Some additional selections from Dasam Bani were also added, but it wasn't the same ones for every sangat. The important thing is to not hate on each other for these variations.

      Umm, so you're upset that this jatha did Chaupai the same way it's being done at Harimandar Sahib for 100 years? Shouldn't you be upset at the manager of Darbar Sahib? I'm not saying that Sikhs who are aware of certain issues shouldn't do the longer Chaupai, but there are only so many battles you can fight. Instead of calling some jatha traitors because they're doing the (for better or worse) "standard" Chauapai published by the SGPC, it would be better to change things from the central point. You can't fault the average Sikh for picking up the average Gutka and doing paath.

      It's the same here in Toronto. Alot of the gudwaras here are political orientated and get tons of funding from the government-probably want them stay hush hush with all the BS that has been happening with India.  These guys are skewing gurbani. A complaint was sent to a ragi singh a couple of days ago in regards to a hukamnama.
