Most people are content to allow these cultural issues to go unchallenged, so long as it doesn't affect them.

Or for fear of the backlash and being hounded out for being labelled a racist.

I mean look at the grooming scandal, the trojan horse scandal etc, most of the voices trying to speak out knew it would be a career ending move.

There are well funded anti racist organisations ready and willing to scape goat and ruin the career of anyone they choose to target, best just keep your head down, say nothing and move on.

This country is sleep walking into segregation and it's getting worse, I wonder if the reason the Tory party did so well in the election is partly because of this.

I mean were people voting Tory as a backlash to the idea of multiculturalism or rather the idea of faith schools and religious segregation?

If they were it would be a hard job to get anyone to admit it in public.

Anyway enough said, I'm off to enjoy the sun.

People will exploit Sikh principles out of context to support their agenda. Let's look at this one- Guru Nanak Dev Jis shabad is often posted around of Facebook. 'Before becoming a Muslim, a Sikh, a Hindu, or a Christian, let's become a human first'. The odd thing is those who post this often have no intent of becoming Sikh at all.

Funny thing is, guru nanak dev ji NEVER said this quote, its been lodged upon him by some miscreant pappus. It was apprntly a quote from a namdhari i believe. The quote itself is not that evil/bad, just shouldnt be attributed to guru ji, as he never said it.

Its a bit like that stupid pic of guru nanak with his sister, nanaki, tying a rakhri on him, n ppl using that pic as some support that sikhi believes in rakhri, haaaa. I swear panjabis r gettin thicker by the day!

      Concept of Sin

      By BhForce · Posted

      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

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      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.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      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!!

      Is suraj parkash right? is it a reliable source of info?

      By BhForce · Posted

      Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
