In news:

This is the kind of problem a food bank rarely has: more comestibles than its warehouse can handle. Today, local cereal maker Golden Temple will donate more than 30 tons of its breakfast fare to FOOD for Lane County - enough to fill five tractor-trailer rigs.

Golden Temple, which produces organic cereals, teas and body care products in its Eugene facility, regularly donates bulk foods to FOOD for Lane County, said Pat Farr, the food bank's executive director.

But this single donation at the start of the year was an overwhelming surprise, Farr said.

"It's the sheer magnitude of it and the fact that cereal is such an in-demand item," he said.

The donation consists of 38,500 pounds of bulk cereal and 800 cases of packaged cereal weighing more than 22,000 pounds. It's roughly the equivalent of 80,000 boxes of cereal.

Golden Temple expanded last year, adding a new cereal line and increasing production, CEO Kartar Khalsa said. The firm also sells some foods in discount markets.

"If you do a cereal and put in blueberries instead of strawberries by mistake, you can't sell it on the primary market," he said.

With last year's expansion, the amount of cereal headed for such secondary mar

kets had grown, he said. Instead of selling it, Golden Temple decided to donate it.

Golden Temple regularly donates 10 percent of the profits from its Peace Cereals to peaceful causes, but this donation is a broader part of its charitable efforts, Khalsa said.

"We thought it was a great way to start 2005," he said.

FOOD for Lane County serves 120 other agencies that provide meals or emergency food boxes to people struggling to make ends meet. During its last fiscal year, the agency took in 6 million pounds of food to distribute and served more than 80,000 county residents.

Cereal is a versatile food to include in emergency boxes, said Deb Buchanan, food solicitor for the food bank. "It can fit in at any meal. It's a snack. It's good for all ages and it's totally healthy," she said.

Some of the cereal will be sent to the Oregon Food Bank for distribution statewide.

FOOD for Lane County will get help storing the excess from Bi-Mart, Buchanan said.

    • 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
    • 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.
    • 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!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
