Shameless Gurdwara committee continue to asking Sanget for moneys to get things fixed in Gurdwara.

Question needs to asked what Is happening to monthly donation's?

I always thought monthly donations given for upkeep, I was wrong!

That money is getting saved up for a sparkling year end report to show how well the Committee has done, when the Gurdwara is getting more and more down.

Pls humble request to all brothers and sister Pls ask the committee why this happening because continue to be the Bad guy in all of this, because I am only one asking the questions.

Pls I need your help.
Pls forgive my big ego and any mistakes I have done..

Dont most gurdwara committee's do this? This is their business model begging for sangats donations while not looking after the needs of the sangat.

Every gurdwara committee needs changing with sikhi parchaar focused young sikh men and women. At the moment most gurdwara's are empty of young people is because these selfish idiots are miss-using the sangats money

Thank you for your views and respect them all.

We as Sikhs of Guru we need to band together and expose these committees, (name and shame.

These kinds of committees can not as they please and manipulate Gurdwara funds and Sanget.

As for the youth,sorry to say have not courage to do what is right, which sadly include Singhs in Bana.

That is why this issue is ended up here,looking for Help from my Cyber Bothers and Sisters.

Very true Good Jee. I don't understand why the committees everywhere ask for money when they have so much money saved in the Gurdwara bank account. What is that money being saved for? Bhai Jugraj Singh Jee of basics of Sikhi has also raised this matter in his videos. Why should Singhs like Bhai Sahib Jee have to do fund raising for full time parcharaks of Sikhi when Gurdwaras have millions saved in their bank accounts. They should be utilizing that money for parcharaks, printing and distributing Gurmat literature etc.

They are good for siphoning funds for bigger wedding halls and lavish white elephants. In most cases youth are not even on their radar. Even some of the youth in committees become assimilated like the Borg (Trekkies will understand :wink2: ) over time and end up toeing the line.

Rather than grapple for resources, the Youth should crowd fund opening simple and small places of worship (like the old Havelock Road Gurdwara in Southall) where the anand felt was out of this world. Committe if required to be selected and not elected by the sangat and only run by Gursikhs.

You make very good points Inderjits Ji, but to get on the radar and not to side lined, these kind of committees need to be named and shamed so they understand they just do what they want, even they want to do it, and stop the continued begging for money from sanget week in week out..

so here is the names of the committee members and there numbers,pls a humble request to all my Bothers and Sisters, from a nobody, to phone or text and ask them why you doing this and when will it stop.

A single person can only do so much, when there strength in number anything is possible.

President-Gurchan Singh Landa-mob-07854 802 429

Vice President-Kulbear Singh Bhai-mob-07917 563 202

General Secretary-Kuldeep Singh Bhai-mob-07531 253 473.

Only action from all of all us, will make things change.

true, but it's better to have a plan rather than just random people calling up strangers, who could easily say that you were thrown out of the gurdwara for drinking alcohol.

Not saying its true, but you need to have better ideas than this if you wish to change things. naming and shaming achieves nothing, or at best next to nothing.

      All Gurdware should be like this

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room.

      Self care of hair

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.

      Nidar Singh Nihang X The Ranveer show podcast

      By ipledgeblue · Posted

      Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

      Why are starched turbans hated?

      Author Posted April 24   On 4/21/2025 at 2:43 PM, ipledgeblue said: sirr should not be nanga because keski is usually worn.   Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
