Ive decided that after i start making money 10% of each check will go towards chartiy. Well i was talking to my friend at school about this and when i told her that my first check in total will go to a gurdwara, she freaked out. we started debating and all because she was like you dont even know wut they do with the money at the gurdwara's, its all politics. she was like you should choose a chartity becuase then your money will atleast go towards a good cause. she said if you wanna give your money to a gurwara, give it to the gurdwara's in india, not here. i agree with her and all, but what do u guys think...

Bhain ji, we've had this debate aswell, and it is true that there are a lot of politics here in the gurudwaras. We came to the conclusion that we go to the gurughar and matha tekh and contribute, when we go to India we do the same thing.

I've decided that the 10% that I will be taking out when i start working (hopefully soon) will go to sponser a child in need.

Or what some people do is they save their money then find out if there is someone in India who's daughter is getting married or is trying to get an education, and are tight with money, and they give it to them or go and buy her something, her wedding lehnga if its a wedding or books that she may need if shes in school. This way they make sure that the money is being used for good and to help someone.

In the end, its what u feel is right.

That's awesome! I like what you do witht he money in India. I was planning on sponsoring a child as well.

I do agree with politics in the gurdwara's, and judging by what's going on with gurdwara 'management' these days I don't feel comfortable donating to them knowing that my money will fuel greed and corruption, but I do so anyways because they need

money to keep the facilities running. They're like a bunch of pirates scuttling money from the devotees.

Hmm, speaking of pirates. Has anyone seen the Pirates of the Carribean? Sony, have you seen it? You know, the movie with all those pirates? ARgh Matey?

v good, u know its a kurait to not give daswand, i know some ppl disagree but u always hearing 'moderate' weirdos saying guroo nanak dev jees primary three principles. and in this case daswand is really important. having said alot of gurdwaras dont do anything to benefit sikhi so u shudnt give to them. khalsa aid, brit sikh counsil, other charities, sponsoring shaheed families, theres 2 much to do.

and remember, absolute minimum is 10%

      Traveling in Punjab independently and safely (need good advice)

      By BhForce · Posted

      Umm, that's totally irrational, bro. There are plenty of prakash-dara Singhs in Punjab (less than we'd like, but still plenty). No one cares that you are sabat soorat. It isn't 1986. You can walk around in chola, kurta-pajama, or jeans. Whatever. If you want the look @dallysingh101 is referring to, just go into a cheap clothing shop (not a Western-style mall) and buy some shirts for 250 rupees or a track suit for 2000 rupees. You'll get the cheap stuff made in some sweatshop in Bombay.

      Concept of Sin

      By MokhamSingh · Posted

      The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…

      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!!
