This clip is provided by our brothers and sisters of San Jose State Univ. Here's the small 10MB small screen clip which gives good info on how most of SSA's are highly linked with only Bhangra and never try to promote sikhi events.

Lecture is by Reena Kaur who was active in SSA and currently helps to run Sikh Kids camp in Sacramento.

WoW i thought i'd never see Sikhsangat promoting Bhangra and Sikhi together??? Now i know something has defintly changed!! But we'll see how long does it take for someone to make this a Gurmat v.s Anti-Gurmat.

WAHEGURU JI KAKHALSA WAHEGURU JIKI FATEH

didn't want to say anything but then...thought i should...

loved it..i didnt know that SSA's did that...

im happy that at IL uniz students aren't into that.not many are involved with SSA, but the one's we got are awesome with guru sahib jis kirpa. I remember some of us wanted to do bhangra under the name of SSA, but with our good fortune, we had some Gursikhs who gave us the reasons to why we shouldn't. we didn't see anything wrong with it till we heard the exaplanation. (I wasn't involved, but I heard it from my friends, and ofcourse i thought nuffin was wrong with doing bhangra...lol but then when i heard the exaplantion...i was convinced). I think we need to learn how to say "NO!!!" and give a proper exaplanation to that NO.

I think it comes down to the rules and purpose that was stated when the SSA was established! and by being consistent!(keeping rehat mariyada in mind)

my 2 cents..(The things i learned from Sikh’s of Illinois)

now dont start on bhangra issue all ovetr again..plzz..but try to read the statements of the uni's SSA's(their puporse of having the org.)

bhul chuk juaf

waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fatehh

hey i can speak from experience.. being the VP and the President for over a year and half.. my SSA has dealt with all this ..

quite a few of our members wanted to start doing bhangra.. and go to competitions and stuff..

so we proposed that they form a different organization.. so now we have our SSA and then Bhangra Club..

which is ok.. cuz it doesnt interfere with SSA activities.. of education and promotion of Sikhi in the community.. although we have had bhangra parties sponsered by the SSA.. just a quick way to make money though..

but plans are to get rid of the parties as well..

      Concept of Sin

      By MokhamSingh · Posted

      The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…

      Concept of Sin

      By BhForce · Posted

      I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
