Humble Benti To The Sadh Sangat.


Recommended Posts

As we said last nights how, we REALLY didn't want to go down a donation appeal route, as there's so many other worthy Panthic Orgs also requiring funding.

But unfortunately, as volunteers we have been using our own resources - which wasnt a problem when we started.

But as the awareness has increased and the number of calls from various cities has increased it is very difficult to go and see everyone with a problem.

We thank you for your support.

No Offence veer ji,

Are you not taking on any more volunteers because that's what it sounds like you really need more manpower, there are a lot of good people out there who have life experience as opposed to being social workers etc (who dont always get it right either).

because i know a some people who have volunteered and have had no reply back.

Or is it just purely people with professional careers who you require and financial help.

once again no offence intended best to be upfront and transparent, i am sure you would agree.

Great work you guys are doing, i wish you all the best may Guru ji help you guys.

not yet jee, so far we have been just been using our own resources.

But as of yesterday, someone has kindly emailed us to register us as a charity. Thank you

Yes, please do this as you will be able to hire employees, if needed and please do look into the liability side of everything. I know many more people will be willing to donate once they know you are a registered charity and this means both sides get a tax break which is always a plus. I don't want to sound negative, but you know how it goes when someone tries to do good, there are 100 ready to knock you down. Registering as charity and the sensitive issues your volunteers are dealing with means being familiar with the state laws.

Initially, you will have to pay, but get a good accountant who knows what he is doing when it comes to non profit organizations laws. Accountants are very familiar with the laws and sometimes even more than lawyers, plus you can handle the accounting and law issues in one hit, which means less overhead cost.

It's completely understandable taking on more volunteers can become a liability issue and the wrong volunteer coming in will even destroy the whole organizations reputation in a blink of an eye.

Also make sure the employees you hire are certified, trained, educated etc in the field of counselling.

I think hiring employees will add more structure to the organization that already exist.

    • 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.
