Interesting post but definitely not coincidental around the parkash event time so meh! Seems dodgy! Plus I've been to the parkash event last year and am going again this year with family from Canada, looks great amazing sewa and brings a lot of sangat together. My kids learnt loads about sikhi last year, hopefully they attend the school next year because I want them to know about their religion and our culture. Such negativity, this isn't what our gurus taught us! I don't know much about this baba but whatever he is doing seems to be working in helping others and teaching kids in this day and age about Sikhi because I have never seen the place so busy or a school so great for our apney people! Defo recommend to others to come this weekend and check it out.

Yes typical to slander around this time. The school has done a lot for kids and my kids go there. The parkash is packed from what I see on TV? Will be going tomorrow with all my friends and family. Sad that sikhs have nothing better to do than bring people down who do good. Despite all the stories at least good is being done, more than what we do hiding behind our keyboards.

from my sources-

this event called "Parkash" was designed to collect funds because Nanaksar Trust and school management did some dodgy deals where they lost money. To recover that this event was suggested. Everything from langar to the "pandal" is done by (sorry but "ignorant") sewadars. When its a paid service there are always issues/delays in getting the payment. They run series of meeting where different ways of collecting money are discussed which including asking children to carry buckets, staff being pressurized to get volunteers for donations sign-up. They ask for direct debit like many other shady charities for a continuous source of income.

yes there are lots and lots of people who would go there unaware of the concept behind these kinds of shows. But i think we should educate people.

You want to do charity- keep a golak at your house and put money in it what you would normally put into such events. Then do charity with your own hands. Just because of the ignorance of these people many many babas enjoy a luxury life style. Have a they worked hard themselves? NO

Nanaksar is increasing its presence in these rich countries. why? because when people are away from punjab they feel more and they "feed" more frauds.

Its evidence from a court case. Not dodgy.

Great that you have been to Parkash. On the pretext of teaching kids punjabi (which should be voluntarily done and should be free) how many kids did you see with collection baskets? Why do they need "golak" st the front?

Why do they ask for "collection" -again voluntarily whenever there is a program in school? Why do they have staff with direct debit forms running around asking people to sign-up with specific targets to meet?

Who are they helping- some kids in India and on by showing their pictures they are building their empire? All on donated land and huge donations from abroad by people like mentioned in the case above?

If you don't know the baba then why would you go and attend? This is what most people will do and are filling their coffers.

Slandering or trying to awake people? Ignorant sheeps following other sheeps and being targeted by individuals like Amar Singh Sidhu?

Please go and donate as much as you can. He needs lots of funds to help the poor and build more gudwaras for a bigger network and much bigger fund collection exercise.

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • 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. 
    • 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.       
    • 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.

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?
