Printing Of Saroops In Canada/usa

[samosasingh 37]

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.

I have heard that SGPC is setting up a printing facility in the US for the North American Sangat.
