Sangat Ji

Vaheguroo Ji Ka Khalsa, Vaheguroo Ji Ki Fateh

The corrupt Leamington Gurdwara Committee strikes again!! Not only has this committee been involved in ManMat and anti-sikh activities in the past, but now they have even cancelled the 'Why Guru?' Course planned for 12 weeks by Basics of Sikhi at Leamington Gurdwara

Basics of Sikhi statement: Sadhsangat ji, as mentioned. Regretfully we've been informed by the Leamington Spa gurdwara that the 12 weeks English Katha programme has been postponed by the committee. Its nothing to do with us or Dharam Seva Records. We are very sorry for this. Its an internal committee issue. If you do attend there and know people on the committee it would be helpful if you explained to the committee members that Basics of Sikhi is a national parchar organisation and has nothing to do with local Gurdwara politics. Please share with your family and friends in Leamington. Kirpa ji.

This corrupt committee and Masand-run Gurdwara has gone against the Panth yet again!

Please spread this to create awareness and change to this corrupt committee!!!! Update your status, tweet and spread! This corrupt committee must be held accountable for its actions!!!

Not postponed, but cancelled because the Basic of Sikhi guy briefly mentioned that alcohol is manmat ... a subject which had been banned by the committee along with meat and Khalistan

maybe I'm missing something here , but why would postponing the event mean the committee is corrupt?

Perhaps it wouldn't itself "mean" the committee is corrupt, but rather, when taken in the context of other "achievements" of this committee, it would certainly imply it.

Off the top of my head, these being;

1. Announcing their intent to hold an alternative akhand path, for the fanatical mass murderer and genocidal war criminal indian prime minister indira gundhi. Fear of the sangat's reaction prevented them from pursuing this.

2. Canceling the sangat's annual akhand path for quom de heere shaheed bhai beant singh, shaheed bhai satwant singh and shaheed bhai kehar singh. They had to reinstate it again following the inevitable uproar and disbelief of the sangat, but the said committee's stage secretary couldn't bring himself to say the names if the shaheeds all throughout the programme.

3. Presenting and blackmailing Baba Baljit Singh Dadu Sahib with a bizarre list of topics he is "not allowed" to mention on stage, Prior to his delivering katha at the gurdwara by demand of the sangat. These included, but were but limited to; the quom's independence; the then sangharsh for freedom of bhai balwant singh rajoana, and, surprise surprise, the committee's favourite commodity; alcohol . If he were to mention any of these items during their katha, it was stipulated that the local sangat would have been banned from the gurdwara.

However, these all pale into inconsequence compared to this last "achievement";

4. Holding the infamously stupid regular private alcohol parties (booze sessions), by the committee, for the committee, on the very gurdwara premises that is supposed to be pavitar dharti for Sikhs.

Doesn't get much classier than that.

You seem to know a lot about it singh are you from the area and if so have you or are you doing anything about it. As talk is cheap especially on forums.

[ADMIN NOTE] Jashb, this is a formal warning. Harassing sat or any other individual(s) on the forum again will result you in being put into Quality Control.

It doesn't matter what was said and what wasn't, all that matters is someone feels like they're being harassed. Consider this a formal and final warning.

Also, as Admins can check IP addresses, I can confirm that is not Sat. Again, this is a final warning, any more harassing and you will either be put in QC or banned.

Hello sat!

Yes I do know a lot about it.

Yes Talk is cheap on forums. You have expertise on this matter. You know it. And I mean that. And this time I won't be feeling sorry for you.

And finally Yes As a matter of fact, I am doing something about it. ;)

On a side note, sat, try to give up posting on the Guest account. It's pathetic. Just because you aren't logging into your account anymore it doesn't mean your IP address can't be traced.

Say SSA to aunty.

Singh my name is not sat so not sure what you are on about ?, i asked the question because so many times accusations are made on our Gurdwaras which are just hearsay, without people getting to know the real facts.

    • I was searching igurbani.com which gives correct pronunciation of Gurbani. I can’t remember all of it at once. I guess it relies on more practice, like more Sehaj Paths. The meaning becomes clearer. I have noticed slight variants in it. This could be because it’s written in old Punjabi.  
    • Veer Manpreet Singh, a lay preacher, claims that -Sikhs aren't supposed to worship Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We are only supposed to worship God as is written in Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We only "revere" Guru Granth Sahib ji.     He says a lot of other things in this video, some are good refutations of Hindu superstitions, but the reformers often go too far. Anyways, what he is saying about not worshipping Guru Granth Sahib ji is totally wrong. The reason is Guru Granth Sahib ji is Guru. Guru is Satguru. Satguru is God. We worship God. Therefore, we also worship Satguru (Guru Granth Sahib ji).   There are innumerable verses in Gurbani equating God and Guru. ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਡੁਬਦਾ ਲਏ ਤਰਾਇ ॥੨॥ The Guru is the Supreme Lord and the Transcendent Master. The Guru floats (saves) the drowning one. p49   ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਏਕੋ ਜਾਣੁ ॥ Know the Guru and God as One. p864   ਗੁਰ ਨਾਲਿ ਤੁਲਿ ਨ ਲਗਈ ਖੋਜਿ ਡਿਠਾ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੰਡੁ ॥ There is no one at par with the Guru. I have searched and seen the whole universe. p49 (If the Guru is the greatest in the whole universe, shouldn't we worship the Guru?)   I'd like to ask Manpreet Singh what is worship? Any reasonable definition would include obeisance, remembrance, and praise. Those are exactly the same things Gurbani says to do regarding Guru! Remembrance and obeisance: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਅਪਨਾ ਸਦ ਸਦਾ ਸਮ੍ਹਾਰੇ ॥ Ever, ever, I think of the True Guru, ਗੁਰ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਕੇਸ ਸੰਗਿ ਝਾਰੇ ॥੧॥ and the Guru's feet I brush with my head's hair. p387   Praise: ਗੁਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਆਪਿ ॥ The Guru himself is the transcendent Lord and the supreme master. ਆਠ ਪਹਰ ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰ ਜਾਪਿ ॥੪॥੧੬॥੬੭॥ Throughout the eight watches of the day, O Nanak meditate thou on the Guru. p387   In fact, Gurbani says the way to find God is to worship (puja) of Guru: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਧੋਇ ਧੋਇ ਪੂਜਹੁ ਇਨ ਬਿਧਿ ਮੇਰਾ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਲਹੁ ਰੇ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ Washing and bathing the True Guru's feet, worship thou them. In this way thou shall obtain my Lord Master. Pause. p1118   Could it be any clearer that we are to worship Guru ji?
    • Bro, reciting a shorter Chaupai Sahib is hardly "anti-Dasam". It's fine to argue that the longer Chaupai is more traditional, but the short one isn't anti-Dasam. That's like claiming shorter Rehras is anti-Guru Granth Sahib ji just because there are fewer selections from Guru Granth Sahib. It might not be traditional, but it's not anti-Guru Granth Sahib. I prefer the longer versions, but let's not exaggerate. Every tradition has a slightly different Rehras version. Nanaksar vs Taksal vs Nihangs and so on. The basic template for Rehras is at the beginning of Guru Granth Sahib ji. Later, Chaupai Sahib was added and Anand Sahib always follows as the end of a process. Then some sangats added more saloks to start Rehras and others were added at the end. Some additional selections from Dasam Bani were also added, but it wasn't the same ones for every sangat. The important thing is to not hate on each other for these variations.
    • Umm, so you're upset that this jatha did Chaupai the same way it's being done at Harimandar Sahib for 100 years? Shouldn't you be upset at the manager of Darbar Sahib? I'm not saying that Sikhs who are aware of certain issues shouldn't do the longer Chaupai, but there are only so many battles you can fight. Instead of calling some jatha traitors because they're doing the (for better or worse) "standard" Chauapai published by the SGPC, it would be better to change things from the central point. You can't fault the average Sikh for picking up the average Gutka and doing paath.
    • It's the same here in Toronto. Alot of the gudwaras here are political orientated and get tons of funding from the government-probably want them stay hush hush with all the BS that has been happening with India.  These guys are skewing gurbani. A complaint was sent to a ragi singh a couple of days ago in regards to a hukamnama.
