shameful, TPV should set up a new gurdwara, as it will be very difficult to change the committees - they have too much invested in keeping their positions. in the Sikh Channel debate the main parties focus was arguments over money and buildings, and only talked about Sikhi when the TPV person asked what their plans were to promote Sikhi. So disrespectful to our Gurus.

I can see that both points here have good positives and negatives about them. It would be great to see the youths club together and make their own gurdwara, but is this feasible given the cost of such enterprise? Are the youth generation ready and willing to give financial aid on the scale our parents generation did?

Setting up a new Gurdwara is not a solution especially as there are already eight Gurdwaras within a radius of 2 miles! The youth committee needs to grassroots work at least for 2-3 years with the youngsters in order to create a base and then take over the management of the Gurdwara.

The problem here, is that committees can and will create obstacles for effective parchar and grassroots networking in the gurdwaras. Especially if they see a threat to their positions as future committee members.

I'll give credit to TPV who only formed a short time ago and still managed to get a good foothold and spread a good message, it's a good sign for the future, having seen the kind of diatribe that has come out over the past few weeks on social media anybody would think these old timer parties are trying to get elected into parliament not a religious organisation which is meant to be a charity, it's such a shame that what is meant to be a house of god where we are meant to go to reflect on ourselves has become nothing more that a source of income for these old timer's, anyway, we all have to answer to the one in the end.

Another idea could be TPV set up a charity to do parchar and network with other Sikh youth from every Gurdwara and Uni Sikh Society in the UK setting out a blue print for the next step to be voted in. We are the next generation and we can place our money anywhere it will do good instead of feeding overweight people with 7 types of curry and 3 "deserts" in the langar hall giving them diabetes and installing fountains and marble arches in a new Gurdwara 6ft from another one in the same borough. Once a business stops making money then only the really concerned people take over so we should not dig deep to give to the committees but give money as seva for parchar and the needy direct. This way you will see many of the smaller Gurdwaras being forced to merge into one central one for each Town.

Sher group won aka Malhi and Co, TPV took 1000+ votes astounding since they had only joined the fight a few months ago..

I heard that Sher group won by about 500 odd votes. Does anyone have the exact figures for each person standing or committee standing. A youth committee now has 3 years in which to try and get elected. As long as they do good grassroots work among the youth then getting elected should not be a huge hurdle. It is the youth who are more likely to get their parents to vote for a particular committee rather than the other way round.

    • 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.
