..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 !

    • 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.
