..They have really done amazing and i take back things i said...Sorry Bhul chuk maf! 

Those were said in context when helping others and not own esp when you donate and ask q's  ...they blocked or dont answer...

British Sikh council UK and many other Sikhs charities are on the ground helping too

 

 

Not beyond being scrutinized. A step in the right direction maybe. I initially fought tooth and nail standing up for that group. My mind was changed over time and I'm not swapping it back that easy.

Why should anyone be ashamed who criticised KA for not helping our own when they start to help our own in Delhi? KA is only doing what the majority on here were saying that they should be concentrating on all the time. I would say, KA has taken a step in the right direction but there is still a long way to go. 

I don't believe this is the first time they've done work for Sikhs.  I'm quite sure I've read that they do work with shaheed parivaars. From my personal opinion, I say Sikhs should close the doors to others until we fix our own house. From a Sikhi perspective, we are equivalent of the Singhs who spoke against Bhai Kanihya ji.

I think the type of seva that Khalsa Aid is engaged in now, at the delhi border, is what the Sangat at large want to see. We have seen how well organized and effective their contribution is. Sangat from Punjab and abroad are all praising, and rightfully so, the seva they are providing with the tents, langars, washing facilities, and other areas I may not be aware of. This is exactly what we want to see from them. We don’t want our precious small resources being squandered for causes we can make little to no difference in. When we find ourselves in a position where we have $10-20 million in excess every year, sure then it makes sense to find suitable far out missions for seva to contribute a portion of this. But we know our organizations are not at this level. The Panth is struggling as ever in Punjab. Don’t let the façade of wealth fool anyone. We are in dire straits ecologically, morally, economically, culturally, religiously, intellectually, and I dare say even physically with effects of polluted rivers and aquifers being most visible in the way of cancers and infertility in southern Punjab districts. It’s just that a small percent of our panth has managed to make it out, but remember, close to 90% of the Panth sill resides in Punjab and its immediate neighbourhood of Rajasthan and Haryana.

Also, please remember, Bhai Kanahiya Ji was an individual of an elevated avastha. Their actions were not virtue signaling. Their actions were not the normal for the rest of the fighting fauj. We need to appreciate their saintly nature, but be wise enough to apply it with wisdom.

Anyway, I think everyone respects the great work Ravi Singh's Khalsa AId is doing for the community now. Wish them the best.

There is nothing wrong with any Sikh organisation or Gurdwara helping the local community when situations occur where people need help. It is when KA run off the out of the way areas where there is no Sikh community and expend Sangat's money. The Rohingya issue was a case in point, charirties received millions in donations for western countries andf govts and kA just duplicated their work. 

What KA is doing in Delhi is good but it would be also better if the spent their resources to look after the families of farmers who committed suicide as well as offering financial counselling to stop farmers from getting into debt. 

 Totally agree !

    • 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?
