UNITED SIKHS WORK ON URGENT TIMETABLE TO SAVE AFGHAN SIKHS


Recommended Posts

You obviously have difficulty understanding the point of those who are criticising these organisations. The issue people have with these organisations like KA and US is that they are wasting huge amount of money replicating work that is already done by larger and more resource rich charities. 

KA went out to set up pretty pointless langars for Rohingyas costing some tens of thousands of pounds while larger charities and govts were donating and spending millions of pounds. The Rohingyas weren't exacting starving to death as they were in a Muslim country with a stable govt and which could easily supply food to these refugees. But KA wants publicity so they can put a few pictures on facebook and promote Ravi Singh. United Sikhs also might do work with Sikh issues but that is probably 10% at best, so do you want us to start praising these charities for expending 90% of their donations on non-Sikh issues replicating the work of larger charities just because they spend a pittance on Sikhs?

Point is, no one is against doing charitable work for non Sikhs. Even puratan Sikhs did that. But problem is when you give 90% of your resources to non Sikhs and only 10% to Sikhs. That is sheer madness and utter moorkhta. 

 

It should be the other way around. 80%-90% should be going to uplifting gareeb and mazloom Sikhs and 10-20% should be going to non Sikhs and even animals and the environment.

 

I dont like to talk about my own daswand but for making a point I am mentioning it here now. I take out 10% of my net income for daswand. This Daswand I spend mostly on poor Amritdhari families in India and also for Parchar activities.

 

I give daan too but is separate from daswandh

 

"Gareeb da muh Guru di golakh" has also been misunderstood by our secular minded Sikhs. Gareeb here means Guru Ghar de Gareeb i.e. Gareeb Gursikhs.

I agree with that. My point is we need to focus on a charity, already prioritizing funds from the center out, or make one. 

Beyond that I think we need to reform Jathas outside the SGPC that focus on local health and strength of Sikhs and Sikhia and be so abundant about it we can also help others locally or send resources directly to validated Jathas in areas hit by disaster without need of a charitable organization. 

I agree Gurudwaras need armed guards. 

So let's do it. Not do Nindia of Sikhs already doing something. 

Let's get old school. Let's get timeless. Let's uncolonify the Panth. Let's get real representation and self determination.

    • 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?
