Spreadin Sikhi In Jails


Recommended Posts

sangat jee , i have got an idea bout sprednin sikhi . u no how they say that gangsters , drug dealers , criminals make the best gursikhs , wellthen y dont we do preachar in jails . i hv heard that gursikhs r already doing this in the UK, that is very good . i saw somthn bout buddhist doing this to . think bout it if we do preachar in jail to punjabi people who hve gone the wrog way , we can get gursikhs . we can get 1 n then 2 ,10,20, 100, 1000 etc and then even other faiths will probably convert after studying our religon . u getto change a person from a criminal to a gursikh . but if u want ppl to listen to u u need to have some spiritual kamaaee and do katha in english . wat do u guys think ?

Muslims are already ahead in this game, in fact everyone is. It seems Sikhs are the only ones who have not done this. It is a good idea. Criminals are in the need of Gurmat more so than nonCriminals. In our own history we have the examples of former criminals like Sajjan Thag, Bhai Bidi Chand becoming Gursikhs. Many Saints have a past and every sinner has a future.

It's a good idea but how can we do this? Seriously speaking, wouldn't the only way to do this be to get in jail and then do it? I know they have libraries and whatnot but what other ways are there to do it? Perhaps arrange speeches or seminars with the warden? The jails in USA are run as businesses and are probably by conservative christians.

You don't have to pay money to do seminars but you have to convince the people in charge with a platform. Could be an outreach program. My guess is that it has to be an org.

this is wat i posted to @KarkooSingh23 in our personal converation;

"kidda paaji, long time no speak, yea regarding ur idea, its sumthin i hav always thought about, coz in prison, islam is DOMINANT, thats y those gits r streets ahead of every1. So many ppl in prison become muslim, because their parchaar is EVERYWHERE! In prison, ppl have 23 hours of doing nuthin, but sittin inside a cell, so a lot of that time is spent reading about stuff and educating urself. I saw on sikh channel last time, that a nihang singh was doin parchaar in uk prisons, n i believe Bhai manvir singh, is doing parchaar in prisons/hospitals (forgive me if im wrong on that). But yea we need loads n loads, coz otherwise our boys who r locked up inside cud get converted if they aint careful. Also 2 survive in prison, u MUST b tough (not jus physically), but i guess mentally/spiritually, n only gurbani provides that!"

This a good idea, the Sakhi of Sri Guru Hargobind Ji "Bandi Chorr" provides good example of this how many inmates became followers of the Guru during his stay at Gwalior.

wow i didnt kno that, i always wondered wat happned 2 those 52 (??) kings guru ji released, did they give up their kingdoms/land n become sikhs?

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
