It is nice he is doing this. But I don't think we should just wait for our Jathadars to do this. Guru Jees have taught us to lead by example. I myself will admit I am am far from how an ideal Sikh should be. I am weak, have augans and vikaars. But if Guru Jee blesses me and others here maybe we will also follow the footsteps of Bhagat Pooran Singh Jee whose Charan Dhoor cannot be equaled by even a thousand popes.

When Bhagat Pooran Singh Jee did seva of humanity and even animals, he did not do it in front of a million cameras like a showman. We have such hidden gems amongst us, who are hidden from the world. They don't show off their seva for the world to see. They do it gupt and remain gupt. Even most Sikhs do not know of these Sevadars. It is those Gupt Sevadars who I don't know about that impress me not showmans.

That is more than incredible !

It puts me to shame because i know that if i were in his position, i would have not done that on the spur of the moment........no way..I would have probably acknowledged the person and waved or signaled in some manner, but to stop the car and hug him whilst offering a prayer is something real special.

Sikhs have amazing philanthropy niskham seva history and tradition, hope sikhs continue including me off course continue to live by practically example of bhai ghaniya ji, recent one bhagat puran singh ji and nishkam seva. I do agree with gupt seva aspect but not to the point where it overshadows spreading parchar, setting precedence and example of niskham seva, actually practically living dya - for the youths.

ਬਾਈ ਜੀ, ਹਜਾਰਾਂ ਕੈਮਰਿਆਂ ਦੇ ਅੱਗੇ ਜੱਫੀ ਪਾਉਣੀ ਕੋਈ ਅਨੋਖੀ ਗੱਲ ਨਹੀ, you will even find pictures of Prakash Singh Badal and Rahul Gandhi hugging and doing ਜੱਫੀ with poor poverty stricken people in front of a gazillion cameras. The late Princess Diana also famously shot into fame when she hugged a person with AIDS. It's showmanship. Eh.. I'm not too impressed.

True. The positive thing I see with these pictures is that it will inspire many catholics(and even many non Christians) to see beyond a person's outer appearance and try to see God in everyone.

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
