hi

it is winter now and cold.  request to adults who read this forum to find out what facilities /help are available in your local area for homeless people and also people with no money for food (food banks).

this so you can help any homeless people you see.

Excellent post, I commend you. I'm currently in the middle east and have no idea how to see how to help but I will. 

 

Hope others can strive to help out the needy, many people out there who are struggling and in need.

people in uk can google search their local area for shelters, and call their shelters to know know how they work /how to refer people.

theres a sikh charity S.W.A.T. also in London,  not sure how they work, but they do help with homeless.

some homeless people have drug, alcohol or mental people.  so please be careful in approaching them if you do.

also in uk, if you see a homeless or drunk person on the street (and it is very cold), you can call an ambulance or police to help them.  i understand that you should always do that for someone who is not awake, even if you think they are just drunk.

Sad how the gurwarras were meant to be shelter for the shelter less, yet many gurwarras turn such people away even though there is more than enough space in them. 

 

While there are gurwarras, these kind of things should be addressed and people such as these assisted. Food to feed the hungry and shelter for the unsheltered.

Right...let me just make a note of that so I don't forget:

1) See a homeless person

2) Call the police.

Some homeless people have mental problems too. There was a gori who got beaten by a person she considered homeless and gave shelter to.

The homeless around where I live are not mentally well  Just a few days ago I walked past a homeless man who was screaming in the middle of the high street.

You know there are a lot of people with mental illnesses out there. Seeing people screaming, talking to themselves   randomly swearing out loud   etc is a normal sight around here!     We have this one man who takes his private parts out while going down the escalator.  Another who carrys his urine around with him in a plastic cup  etc      there is this one man who just goes up and down the high street asking people if they have a lighter   that's all he does.

Run down multicultural towns are the worst ones 

Government doesnt care

Then Gurdwarras should help arrange mental help. So many people, drug addicts, alcoholics too. So many people need help. Gurdwarras are there as a safe haven in the midst of a mad world.

Maybe try the public tax money funded institutions first before giving assigning responsibilities to our gurdwara sahibs. We have scarce  resources for our own folks.

    • 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.
