please flag above video, and ignore just reign as he is totally immoral vs the past just reign who was promoting NDP leader Bhai Jagmeet Singh.

Sikhi is to seek Vahiguroo with HIS PYAR ATEY KIRPA INDIVIDUALLY, as reminded in Salok of Japji Sahib...KARMI APOH APNI...

Gurmatbibek.com, promotes FREE 100 PERCENT GURMUKHI at their Brampton School in Ontario, Canada, and Gursikhi in true essenceon youtube.  KNOWING GURMUKHI, AND GURBANI WILL HELP FOCUS DURING NITMEN, ATEY SIMRAN...as that is my weakness_/\_bhul chuk muaf Vahiguroo

Listening on web to Gurmukhs of Gurmatbibek Keertan, AKJ Keertan; as Bhai Harpreet Singh, Bhai Manpreet Singh, Bhai Jeevan Singh, many youth AKJ Gursikhs Keertanis, some etc jathas, if no local Gurduara smagams helps promote needed willpower to keep up, because SIKHI ALONE, AMONGST WORLDLY is tough to even get up at amritvela, though invisible to this pappi murakh, Sant, comes to wake one up at amritvela many times (yet I cannot get up earlier than 3am or 4am, though my personal amritvela is 1.30am) vs during visit to city of Gurmukhs, where sleepiness never felt and jorr of Naam was within svaas svaas_/\_

Bhai Randhir Singh Jio DID NOT PREACH SIKHI, HE ONLY DISCOVERED WITH VAHIGUROO DYA, AND INSPIRED many to this day_/\_.

But in these times, Basics of Sikhi and abovementioned is needed to inspire, keep up, maintain vs giving up for other religions, paths...

Sikhi can never ever go down and dry or fade away , like any others dharmas at some time.

For, it is a unique and unparralel path, which takes the spiritual traveller direct to Wahiguru, thus as long as Wahiguru is eternal as we all know, in my humble opinion, sikhi shall stay alive forever.

Even then, it is not at all in our hands, it is all in His Hukum. 

The Bani says, our returning and merging in Him, or straying away in the wheel of 84 and maya or koor, is all by his Hukum.

He is the greatest "kartar"director, it all depends on Him, how long He wants His play to continue for; but under any and all circumstances, Sikhee shall be practiced or followed by those wadbhagee,  higher or lower in numbers, but for sure chosen by Him.

The Bani beautifully says: sey Simray, jis Aap Simrae.

The period is golden, because it is the most valuable period of human life, for our purpose of becoming one with Him, thus, it can never ever die or finish. In that way, Sikhi is evergreen golden era.

Sat Sree Akal.

At the moment Sikhism is in its golden period. The next 50 years are crucial for its survival and prosperity. 

It is a make or break time for the faith. If we continue the way we are going Sikhi as we know it will become a insignificant religion on the world stage confined only to Punjabi people and not like a ethically and racially diverse religion like other faiths. Our time is running out. We must act now for the benefit of the next generations who are counting on us for their future. 

But we are on borrowed time. Unless drastic steps are taken to take the faith further and expand all around the world. If this is not done within the next 50 years it is game over. There will not be an opportunity like this again. Many if not all will eventually become athiest or convert to other religions. This is actually happening now but will get increasingly worse. 

The next 50 years is either success or failure as far as numbers go. After 50 years are up. There is no way of turning back the tide. That is why I stress the importance in a crucial period and juncture for the faith. 

We need huge scale missionary activity throughout the world from tibet to mongolia. Dont expect people to one day wake up and look at a basics of sikhi video on youtube then convert on their own will. Yes we can implement digital technology to reach to the masses but that is only one method. We need boots on the ground. Missionary centres on every corner of the earth to spread Guru Nanaks message. 

We must lobby our so called leaders to fund these projects. Money and resources need to be poured in for the effort to begin. Dedication and commitment is needed from us all. Sacrafices will need to be made. It will not be easy but we can achieve the goal with the right methods and knowledge.

Dont think I am just typing this as a passing thought.

I am in the process of setting up one of only in the UK of a Sikh missionary centre. If people are intrested in helping and are from the the east London area. Please contact me on ways you can help and contribute to the project. 

Any thoughts on this crucial period in time that we must act on?

Although I agree with the notion that we need to spread our faith. We aren't exactly in a golden period, I'd go as far to say that we're actually in the worst phase.

Although our lives have become easier, the practice of Sikhi has been tarnished. I have met very few Sikhs that practice the Sikhi of Guru Nanak, and even I'm not one of them. Most Sikhs don't exactly know what they're doing. We need reform in Sikhi first of all. It has been littered with practices that have no place in the religion.

You have Sikhs priding on caste. You have Sikhs performing all kind of stupid rituals and superstitions. You have Sikhs indulging in drugs/intoxicants and philandering. You have Sikhs that are following false idols and babas that blind them. You have Sikhs that are working against the panth.

We need reform, before we can go ahead and spread our faith. Because what's the point of building towards the sky, if the very foundation at the bottom is weak.

I really like this. Personally I think if people won't change they should leave Sikhi rather than give Guru Nanak Dev Ji a bad name and put doubts in people's minds about what a Sikh is. Maharaj kirpa daas did parchar a few weeks ago and a gori bibi said during our talk "You guys don't drink? Oh, but you guys love a drink. I know if I wanna go and have a crazy night out and drink I always call my sikh friends. They love to get drunk and have a great night out."  If they won't stop taking drugs and showing up sikhi then it's best the step out of Sikhi and carry on living their lives they want to. Not even just drugs but lame practises of ritualism (not even going to go into that; gonna get my blood building), sexism, hypocrisy etc. Try to stop them because they can't go against Sikhi like that but if they refuse kindly tell them to walk out of Guru Nanak Dev Ji's beautiful house. And so what if we have less Sikhs... the quality of those sikhs compared to the quantity of the pakhandi sikhs we have right now is much favoured in my opinion. You can have a ton of feathers and a ton of bricks and they are the same weight but when you need to build the building that we are trying to build right now then it doesn't matter how many feathers we have, they don't have the strength to build this building nice and strong and will never support the bigger picture of the huge building Sikhi is trying to build towards. This pakhandi feathers will never get close to the strength of the hardcore brick. And if the panth is only full of hardcore brick sikhs doing exactly what Guru Nanak Dev Ji said all the way down to Guru Gobind Singh Ji and follows Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj then when people look at the sikhs and think "right so this is what the sikhs are" then anyone who wants to be a Sikh will already have these qualities instilled in them day dot. Maharaj kirpa, the panth will prosper.

Vaheguru Ji.

Sikhi cannot be tarnished, it is evergreen and never fades.
