Printing Of Saroops In Canada/usa

Recently the Jathedar has reprimanded a guy for bringing the saroop in a suitcase to a foreign country. I say this has been happening for some 80 years......why all of a sudden the punishement?

We all agree that respect and proper maryada for the transportation of the Saroop is very important, but here is my point:

Akal Takht and SGPC have made it very clear thar they have sole rights to the printng of the saroops (india only) but for those who are in foreign countries and need the saroops and then bring them over the best way that they can based on the means that they have, they get in trouble.

When will the idiots running the show wake up and realise that we also require saroops in foreign countries?? SGPC don't want to provide an over seas printing facility and also don't want to make arrangements to send the saroops with proper respect overseas - so then what are we to do?

Our local gurdwara's are too busy having multiple paats and don't trust anybody enough to give saroop, so then what option is left?

We sikhs in NRI land have enough money and resources to set up our printing facility so then why don't we?????? NRI sikhs have handled every problem sent there way with there own resources (turban cases, kirpan cases, racism, etc, etc) so then why is it that we can't handle this as well?

I would like to appeal to Sikh Channel, Sikhs fOr Justice, Sikhri, UK Sikh Council, Damdami Taksal, AKJ, Nihangs, Gurdwara committee's, etc, etc and all the other committee's out there to take up this issue and start our own press....I know you all read this forum so pls provude your comments.

SGPC never wants to invest in such a good program. They will never give any funds regardless how important the issue is. All sewa that we see in and around harmander sahib is being done by different individuals and SGPC ONLY gives permission.

I think the problem is all about NUMBER power. Out of all NRI population, i would give a ball figure of 5% being Amritdhari sikhs and out of those i would say .05% probably have parkash of guru sahib jee. Conclusion is that roughly 1% of NRI pop. are probably interested in having guru sahib jee at home and these gursikhs are might be scattered around the globe. The project is extremely easy to implement as a room can be taken in any major gurudwara sahib plus we never ever had any volunteer shortage... It all comes to demand and regular sangat interest is the reason why we can't have the printing facility.

    • 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.
