Smart Parchar By An Intelligent Sikh!

[shastarSingh]

Sometimes we sikhs get a bit too fundamentalist.

There is a 40 year old Singh who is financially very rich. In his colony, he came to know about 10-15 Sikh boys of about 16 years of age daily bunking school, going to some snooker club, playing snooker and side by side doing drugs due to bad sangat there.

This singh was advised to lecture these young boys about sikhism, tell them to come to Gurdwara daily etc etc. He did but nuthing changed and no boy came to Gurdwara Sahib even once.

He thought of another way.

He bought 2 high quality snooker tables. He told the boys you can play snooker here free of cost. But you have to do 20 minutes mool mantar before playing and listen to 20 minutes of Kirtan after playing. On Sundays, I will teach u santhiya of Nitnem Sahib and you will all have to do Japji Sahib with me before leaving.

Guess what, just after 3 months, all these young boys have given up drugs and 4 of them have become amritdharis.

Sometimes Sikhs need to be a bit SMART and INNOVATIVE. in doing parchar of Sikhi

Is there any source of this, or are you making a fictional story to build our spirits up?

thats a really bad way of speaking with a fellow sikh!

So I am a liar making up false fictional stories! Thank you my sikh veer!

[shastarSingh]

so u want the name address location phone no. of this singh and the boys ?

tomorrow if i find out that my mona friend has become amritdhari and started doing 15 japji sahibs and post here,u will call me a liar and would want his phone number, address and photo of doing japji sahib paath?

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh, I'm not calling you a liar, all I wanted to know was if you just said because. I do apologize if I gave that impression, I just wanted some proof. Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

he is chacha of my school time friend. Shud be between 40-44 years of age. LIves in Ludhiana. Is into textile business, has a big house and 3-4 cars.

Is amritdhari but eats meat sometimes and ties beard too during business hours. Very strict about Nitnem and has read lots of Sikh history.

In Ludhiana there are lots of places where u have gym as well as snooker/billiards playing tables. Lots of youth go there and start doing some drugs while playing as thats the culture of snooker playing here.

Can you make a video of him next time you visit him and upload it on youtube? That would be great sewa.

I have a similar idea!

High quality gyms in Punjab are very expensive, so most of rural and city youth go in over crowded mediocre gyms. We have so much money as a kaum and are just building big marble Gurdwaras. We can make HIGH QUALITY GYMS within the vicinty of Gurdwara building(Guru Angad Dev Ji Maharaj made Mallan de Akharey).
Anyone can come but you have to learn one sakhi a day, 15 minutes mool mantar and Japji Sahib paath and katha once a week.

We can do some much parchar via this method. A punjabi boy will learn about 30 sakhis a month.

there is high chance he will become a proper sikh or
may become a proper sikh later in life as all these sakhis will be stored in his mind.

Even a manmukh Punjab who has knowledge of Guru Itihaas atleast has a place to fall back to if/when he decides to become religious.

I have seen many monaas who studied in Sikh Schools(most sikhs schools dont teach much sikhi but they do teach some sikhi and Gur itihaas and brave sacrifices of Panth) become Sikhs later in life.

On the contrary, monaa punjabis studying in chrisitan schools in india have less chance of coming back into sikhi.

Physical Fitness

Guru Angad took a keen interest in physical fitness, and encouraged his devotees to be involved in sports after their morning prayers. Guru Angad Dev ji inspired people to lead healthy lives. According to Guru ji, if you are physically fit only than you can pursue higher goals in life, because a sound mind can exist only in a sound body. He provided opportunities to underprivileged sections of the society to maintain good health. He encouraged all people to be involved in wrestling bouts or Mal Akharas to compete in physical competitions. This was again his way of doing away with social taboos of people of lower caste not having physical contact with higher castes. These steps initiated by him laid the foundation for a spiritually, educated and enlightened, healthy Sikh community, without distinctions of caste and creed.

Great story bro, and it is exactly how we should help youths get into the faith. Parchar to non-believers is the key to saving your own soul and focusing the mind towards whats important in life.
