Slough, UK (February 9, 2012)–This past weekend saw the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Slough’s Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara, attended by over 200 members which included a large group of Naujwaan (youth). The AGM was called to discuss the opening of the new Sikh Centre, its uses, and other pressing issues.

It had been rumoured that some anti panthik elements of the community wanted to use the Sikh Centre for manmat activities, including a party hall with meat and sharaab. The large attendance of young people and sangat put mass pressure that Sikhi based principles and Rehit Maryada became the focal point for decisions being made.

The Naujwaan group presented their concerns on the consumption of meat and alcohol on the premises with such finesse that the committee and a majority of the attending members were forced to resolve the issue by agreeing to follow Gurmat Rehat Maryada.

The new resolution states that when the new centre opens, no meat or alcohol will be allowed onto the premises for consumption, leaving the remaining committee members concerned on how the £15,000+ loan will be repaid as cultural wedding parties will no longer be acceptable under the new resolution.

The resolution may come as a shock to those who do not currently follow the teachings of Sikhi in their daily lives, but with Guru Ji’s grace, the change will hopefully bring an increased awareness of Sikhi principles into Slough’s sangat and aid them in implementing Sikhi into their celebrations.

This peaceful resolution was brought about by the pressure of local youth coming together to ensure Gurmat practices were implemented in the running of the complex and is a great success story about positive change.

This is extremely positive news. It goes to show when Sangat unites and takes PRE-EMPTIVE steps to stop Beadbi, corrupt committee members have no choice. Much better that it was nipped in the bud now, than Sangat having to raise their voice when the hall had taken bookings for parties, and disrupting peoples' personal functions.

      Sant Kartar Bhindrawale on Raags

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      Was listening to Sant Ji's katha on youtube.  Sant ji stated apart from the traditional raags, there is nothing wrong if Kirtan is sung in other NON - Raags set up by our Guru Ji's.  His example: Think of poison in a bowl.  Drinking the poison then blaming the bowl is silly. The poison is bad not the bowl. Likewise, we will never call a bowl Amrit once it contains Amrit init. Sameway it's not the raags being good / bad... it's WHAT we put into those raags. How many times Kirtan was sung but on a track of sum Bollywood tune? It is happening in Gurudwara by Raagis! Youtube also has Kaweshri jatha singing history of 1984, on Dr Dre's - Still Dre track.  Rap instrumental/ Bolly tunes stand neutral. We can either put bad things and sing with our own remixes and lyrics... or we can recreate to sing Shabads of Gurbabi, kirtan and Sikh Prachaar over them.

      Who is Ragunath in gurbani

      By MokhamSingh · Posted

      Everything in Gurbani points us towards the Atma. Atma and Parmatma are the same… Atama and Parmatma is the source that creates and causes everything… What have the following items got in common? A fan. A television. A fridge. A radio. A computer..? These things are powered by electricity. Without electricity these things are lifeless. It’s the electricity that causes these things to function… Atma is the source of energy that allows everything to happen.    without Atma, we are lifeless… Call this Atama RAGUNATH…call this Atma by any other name…the fact remains that it’s the life force energy… Dieties also have the same Atma as humans, but they still part of the creation, and not the creator…

      The Show Must Go On....

      By realist17 · Posted

      Throughout history we have been tested and tried. We remained steadfast and resiliant. The events that took place in Punjab and outside of Punjab in the past years made it quite clear we are big players in the game which kept the world powers on edge. It started off with the drug pandemic in Punjab, to the uproar by Bhai Amritpal Singh to the Farmer's protest. Outside of Punjab the deaths of Avtar Singh Khanda (UK) and Hardeep Singh Nijjar (Canada) created a stir within our community. This was probably our first real opportunity to establish something but how quickly members of our own community forget history. We have been a threat to civilization in the past and this is probably what the world powers are concerned about. However, may we continue grow and learn through Gurbani and like Jaswant Singh Khalra said: 'May the spirit of equal rights Punjab continue to kindle'.

      I Have Had Pre-Maritial Sex, Help!

      This is why people used to get married earlier in puratan times. Think about it, nowadays you legit have to be brahmacharya at ages when you're supposed to be married and producing children, which historically speaking, is unprecedented outside of the Sants in Indic tradition.
