Recommended Posts

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Dear Colleagues,

Re: Attendance to demonstration about injust decision to hang Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana on 31st March 2012. 9.amin Central Jail, Patiala

Reminder: We urge everyone to do their utmost in joining the demonstration tomorrow (20th March 2012) outside of the offices of Indian High Commission London between 12.00-2.00pm to highlight the injustices and the opposition to the death penalty.

Also: If you have not already done so we request that you urgently print 200-300 copies (or more if required) of the attached letter and get members of the local Sangat to sign asap. Please get members of the Sangat to add their name, address and postcode and sign the letter.

All completed letters to be collected and addressed to relevant MPs and/or MEP’s according to individual’s postcode by visiting:http://www.writetothem.com/, and add the MPs and/or MEP’s name use the following link:http://www.europarl....=GB&webTermId=7,

These letters high light the differential treatment the Sikhs receive and create a pressure from the international community for Sikhs to have justice. As a reminder we are re-attaching them once again to this e-mail.

The letters must be grouped in one envelope, with the relevant MP and/or MEP address on top and send to:

House of Commons

London

SW1A 0AA

Note: The MP/MEP will be obliged to respond to each letter. This can only be done with your help as it is essential we have a very high volume of letters sent to MPs and MEP’s as soon as possible.

Further Important Note: A peaceful protest will take place outside of the European Parliament in Brussels on Wednesday 28 March between 1-3pm. Please make travel arrangements for this protest.

Kind Regards

Gurmel Singh-Secretary General

Sikh Council UK

Wahe Guru ji ka Khalsa

Wahe Guru ji ki Fateh

This is a direct call to all panth sewadars to volunteer and go to Punjab on a SHAHID MORCHA i.e. protest and fight till you win or die.

It is unfortunate what is happening to Bhai Balwant Singh ji.

Lots of talks, discussions, forums and so called TV shows which is a mockery of sikhism. everyone talking about meeri- peeri and shahidi but nobody willing to go to Punjab. it is easier to talk from a safe house then go and be on the fore front.

First batch to consist of Panth sewadars i.e. heads and members of Gurdwara committees. All major Guru ghars in UK to participate.

Second batch of Shahid volunteers through a draw in every gurudwara.

This is NOT a TV show but a challenge to those who shout "khalistan zindabad"!!! I will go with the first batch.

Pass this info on and lets get connected!

You are confusing letters to MPs with letters to MEPs, which are different and should NOT be sent to the UK address indicated. See posting by the Sikh Federation (UK) regarding MEPs that was sent to the Sikh Council UK yesterday for wider circulation.

PLEASE spread the word - to coincide with worldwide protest (and for sangat who were unable to make Tuesdays protest), there is ANOTHER Protest outside Indian High Commission being organised for FRIDAY 23rd MARCH. We are looking for young, english speaking sangat to speak and educate passers by. Please PM for more details.

    • 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?
