Not surprised, Gurdwara committees cry poverty and always asking sangat for more and more money, then if it is such a tough non rewarding job,

why do they keep fighting, and are very reluctant to let someone else have a go !!

Because probably they all get a nice wage plus extras its all about the money very sad.

We should give our hard earnt kirat kamai a little more sensibly/wisely and not so openly.

Sorry if i offend anyone ,there are probably some genuine members but very few it seems

The sooner we have educated professional Gursikhs in charge the better.

Same story here in Huddersfield. The same 18-20 year old Khanda Party won by Lies, Rigging & Deception. Waheguru Kirpa Karan, now there's no parchaar! @ GNG. However, the other Gurdwara is excelling in parchaar. Why? The committee are Gursikhs and are dedicated.

ALL committees are dodgy

shephards bush has now been taken over by the anti dasam crew - that's why they wanted nihung giani ran singh out - also the the new committee started spreading rumours about him etc

the committee also contains the convicted crook mr kholi http://www.expressandstar.com/news/2010/05/26/37-5m-vat-fraud-gang-get-74-years/

they are also supported by kamalroop singh who wants to take giani ran singhs place for his own reasons

the old committee were all shady too - but were pro dasam and pro panth

Its a shame that educated singhs are reading this pardes weekly and actually believing it without finding out anything themselves. Please read the disclaimer on the bottom left of page 4 of the newspaper which is self explanitory.

That was not an ad that was an article by the paper yeah.

Also Kohli is not in the Committee and new Committee is not anti-Dasam, they have no position on it and they don't need to, what it is is that the Gurdwara Constitution sez it follows SPGC Rehat Maryada - and which real Nihug becomes a granthi at a mainstream Sikh Gurdwara?!!!! A SPGC granthi wd not go to a Nihung gurdwara so why should they accept the other way round? I been there, its a Gurdwara which has hardly any sangat anymore, sangat is mainly professionals and immigrants, saw a bunch of drunks there wen I went, place was dirty, badly maintained, an embarrasment, its all cracked outside, the mens urinals leak, but heres the fact it wuz founded and paid for to be SPGC Rehat Maryada Gurdwara by Maharaja of Patiala so why was this "giani" even there?

It is a total nonsense that this Ran guy is a Nihung no proper Nihung wd do that kind of job. Also he is linked to dodgy stuff in India and not popular with us Brit Nihungs who got him figured, he is controversial that is a fact. The geezer is just here to make money. A proper Nihung would be in a dera, leading a proper Nihung life, not in a SPGC Rehat Maryada Gurdwara in Holland Park!!!! I been to Shepherds Bush a few times, and no way would they hire kamalroop as giani !!!! LOL. If sangat liked the geezer so much his party would have won, they lost.

I checked out the accounts online, there's no accounts filed by this gurdwara for years and loads of violations. I support the right of Gurdwaras to have a giani who follows their maryada, no one should impose their beliefs on others, also so many committees are corrupt and people need to chk the facts - Charity Commission website - check out their compliance.

Also checked out immigration status - teh article is 100% correct yeah - see this link no Central Gurdwara (British Isles) on it http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/employersandsponsors/pointsbasedsystem/pbsregisterofsponsors - so the geezer is working illegal!!!!! Why are they collecting rent cash? That a ton of money, couldnt see any rent in the online accounts it sez donation and golak income...so wheres rent?

All Gurdwaras Committees need to be held to account, this just not done enough, well done Pardes Weekly ! They also broke the story that Southhall Singh Sabha president brother in law stole money from golak and threatened to beat up person who caught him. The editor who is diabled got tons of threats but he still wrote it and stuck to his guns and gave police evidence about that. How about we show press having the guts to write these stories some respect and check the facts b4 we attack and close down media relvaling corruption. Check out pardes weekly Southhall Gurdwara stories. This is a paper with guts. We should support them, I bet people coming here attacking article are friends or relatives of the persons written about. I support this paper, its broken 2 gurdwara corruption stories, few people brave enough to do that.

All Sangat should tell the papers if they see corruption in their Gurdwaram zero tolerance of mismanagement in Gurus house!

Also people saying old Committee was "pro panth" and new one isn't - what type of non-sense provocative nonsense statement is that? How do you know? What is pro-panth? They just got elected, give them a chance will you. They got two ex-gianis in their group, they had a Sikh Chaplaincy for Prisons guy in their group who does volunteer seva for prisoners who missed out on a place and its a varied group of people so lets what they do before people jump on them. Character assassination is easy and suspicious, lets stick on the management facts - (1) huge compliance issues that you can see from Charity Commission site, late and non filings galore (1) UKBA site shows no longer on sponsors list so all overseas staff illegals, (3) check the online accounts, it does not show any rent coming in so where is that? (4) visit the place, it has junk outside and maintenance is rubbish, its run down and dirty. If the new Committee sort any of that out they done well.

Lets face it most sangat come on Sunday eat langar and go. As long as committee follow that Gurdwara's maryada and manage it well that's all the pro panth seva they need.

As for pro panth - this is the only Gurdwara Nidar is allowed to teach at as far as I know and doesn't his website say Sikhs are Hindus? Is that pro panth?

    • 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.

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?
