Like the title say's really, Walsall Caldmore Gurdwara's committee decided they didn't want MLSS preparing food in the Gurdwara kitchen for the homeless, I just came across this today and to say i'm little lost for word's is an understatement, absolute disgrace.

did anyone contact the committee members to ask them what their rational was for this decision?

Like i said in the previous post, without looking at context and both sides of the story. Instead of bashing fellow Sikhs we must find out the truth and heart of the matter. Rather than propaganda of one group of people who have their own agenda's

No idea what their rational was but i think hiring security and calling the local police to prevent a few women entering the kitchen to prepare meals for the homeless is a bit heavy handed, were the women strapped with c4 or something, just another day in the Gurdwara in the UK me-thinks.

Like i said we need to know the background to this dispute and both sides of the story those who jump the gun and attack one side without analyzing why they were prevented obviously have an agenda or lack any balance and IQ.

I have heard many Sikhs complain that non-sikh homeless drunks are coming in the gurdwara without contributing any donations or sewa and treating the place like a refuge centre. And there is increase and decline in Sikhs wanting to go gurdwara due to that kinda environment.

A sikh place of worship is a sikh place of worship, it is open to all non-sikhs who respect our community and traditions and practises if they do not respect the norms and want to cause a scene.... even if it is a sikh that cant respect and behave good with another sikh then that trouble maker so called Sikh needs to be removed from the premises. And as we can see in the video there must have been a dispute before for the police to have been there and black security guard they just dont appear automatically out of no where.

I agree although I'm no fan off a lot of "old boys crew" paindoo committee types, in this situation we don't have both sides of the story. We need the committee to explain their decision before passing judgement.

Yup same here I am generally not a fan of the old boys network either but im getting increasingly annoyed by these f*dhu liberal youths and aggressive loud mouth unlady like feminist women who are trying to force open our communal kitchens and safe spaces for Sikhs to non-sikhs at the determent of our own community and sangat.

nice bit of fantasy propaganda I'm sure the other side can do the same kinda BS propaganda against MLS also so lets not go there.

Lets all wait to hear of the commitee's side and versions of events shall we?

can you stop swearing like that, I'm sure you are articulate enough to avoid the filth and make your point . Golak is not just for serving sikh poor but all poor .

I know the topic is not a funny one but damn that was very witty. Great way to get a serious point across - humour. I wish I had your comic talent.

    • 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?
