I’m wondering if you can help us with this at all? 

 

We want to reach out to young Sikhs for this unique leadership programme which is about empowering young adults to innovate and lead new spaces where faith and social action come together as one. We think this is a great match with Sikh values!  

·  Could you help us publicise it? Could it go in your email bulletin and in any other networks you have? 

·  Can you recommend it to any individuals who might like it? 

·  And here’s the link to post on Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Thank you so much!

Warm wishes

***Closing date for applications is July 30th!***

 

 

Sacred Activists: Leadership & spirituality in action

 

Sacred Activists speaks to the most urgent needs of our time. It brings together young people who want to create a more beautiful world and empowers them to bring it into being. It calls those with the spark of the future in their hearts, with committed spiritual lives and the impulse to act and lead. 

Based in London, this 9 month programme will have different strands:

·  Workshops with teaching input from leaders in the field

·  Fieldtrips to inspiring communities where faith and action are combined in innovative ways 

·  1:1 mentoring from leaders at the cutting edge of faith-based social change

·  Building community through shared devotional practice, inner work and celebration

·  Ongoing support to develop youth-led projects

·  A week volunteering at a refugee camp in Europe 

·  A closing retreat and vision quest. 

Sacred Activists will involve the following themes and explorations: 

Sacred activism and the inter-spiritual manifesto
- Leadership, calling and living spirituality through action 
- The emergence of a new movement within the interfaith world

    • 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.
