I am currently an organiser for Sikh events. My job role is organise events for Sikhs and also non Sikhs. This inlcudes trips to Sikh temples or museums. It is diffiuclt however to think of activities that will appeal to Sikh youth and also non sikhs.

At the moment I am thinking about a trip to Southall Temple. Can anyone reccomend the best times to visit? ie weekends and what times? . Aslo if anyone has any suggestions for Sikh related activities or events I could organise?

About 20 Gurdwaras in Southall mate. Which one ?

If its the £20 million Havelock road one, make the most of it because the Afghan Sikhs have nearly completed their even better one which is directly in front of it and will soon obstruct the view.

There is no such thing as a 'better' Gurdwara, all Gurdwaras are the same. The temple can be a small building or a huge expensive structure. What matters is that it is the house of our SGGS , to say one is better then the other is wrong. every Sikh temple is the best no matter how small or big.

And yes i am refering to the one on havelock road.

You don't appear to understand irony Big Tera. My point, albeit a bit too subtle for you, was that a perfectly large Gurdwara stood in a place and that Gurdwara was already more than large enough to cater for thousands of people. A group of Sikhs from Afganistan arrive. They all belong to one particular group (Arora). They don't like the idea of sharing their presence with other Sikhs such as Jatts, Bhatras, Ramgharias etc, so they decide, for no good reason, because there's absolutely no better use for such money anywhere in the world, i.e no starving children or anything, they decide to spend another £20 million or whatever on an equally large Gurdawara right in front of the extremely large Gurdwara that already stands.

Now that I've spelt it out for you, surely you can now spot the ironic nature of my first message ?

    • 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.
