even Guru ji just built a masjid , he never furnished it with Qurans , are you telling me in 1.4 billion muslims there is not one who could supply copies ?

Apparently an Imam was without a Quran so as ever Khalsa Aid were there to save the day...hooray!

 The local mosque in my town raised £300,000 for the Rohingiya Muslims, I read it in the local newspaper. If one mosque in one UK town raises that much then imagine how much all the mosques in the UK raised, must be millions,  yet sikhs decided to travel to Bangladesh and give money to these people when they are already receiving millions, while their own people(sikhs) are living in absolute poverty in India with no one helping them, where is the logic in that! 

I just don't get it!  Can someone help me understand this ... 

There are gursikh families in India living in absolute poverty, riding a rickshow for a living, their houses are falling apart. Some people in punjab are so desperate that they are resorting to selling their own organs to pay debts off or to pay hospital bills. People are dying but can't go hospital because they dont have the money. Men are committing suicide because of depression leaving their wives and children to for fend themselves,  Yet sikhs decide to travel all the way to the borders in the middle East and help random people who already are receiving millions.

I really don't understand that ... 

It fails me 

You really can't get any more thicker than that

If the likes of Khalsa Aid cannot be bothered, then there is an opportunity for someone to help our beleaguered quam in Punjab.

It is snowing in Punjab, it is sub zero temperatures at the moment. 

All it takes for someone to start a charity to specifically help in these matters.

The moment there is momentum and publicity gets sucked away from Khalsa Aid, they will soon change tact.

That means accept humanity as one.. how does that equate to leaving your own people  in destitution and yet going thousands of miles away to help others? 

If u accept 'all' as 'one' then there is no us and them. Everybody is our own people. This is gurmat brother.

We should help those that need help, there are plenty of us with enough resources to support those far and near.

The likes of khalsa aid do plenty for sikhs/non-sikhs a like, and are a doing a grand job of inspiring more to join in on human relief projects in punjab (they have hundreds of volunteers based in india) and across the globe, without them thousands of our sikh and non sikh brothers and sisters would be destitute.

Instead if bashing those that follow bhai khanaiyas example; focus on inspiring those that do no nothing for others.

Its true what they say about punjabis "if u put a punjabi alone in a room; they'll find something to argue with themself about"

I see you are taking it personally, please do not.

I am a firm believer that charity begins at home. I help myself and my family first.

I have donated to Pingalwara orphanage, and helped my poor relatives in Punjab, just like my parents have.

Khalsa Aids priorities are not with the particular subsection of humanity called Sikhs.

That is what a lot of the quam are critiquing. That is the perception. 

What a proportion of the quam is trying to say to Khalsa Aid, is help your own people first then help others. 

I am saying is if Khalsa Aid is not doing it, there are opportunities for other Sikhs to fill that gap.

Nobody from the people he surrounds himself with is ever going to advise him to tone it down and look closer to home, so in effect he's trapped himself in an echo chamber where he will never consider any constructive criticism or advice that runs contrary to his personal ideology

Which is why we all should meet and talk with people that we disagree with.

Just a question (do answer honestly):

When you go to the store to buy groceries, do you buy them for your wife and kids, or do you distribute your $100 grocery purchase among 99 or so people you might run into along the way with $1 left for your kids?

Or do you spend $99 on your family, and $1 on others?

Who cares about poor Sikhs?

It would be a burden on a billion Muslims to donate $1 apiece to put together $1 billion for Rohingyas.

Priorities, man.

No I don't, but my Sache Patshah Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji did exactly that.

Thats why its not my mat my brother.

    • 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.
