wjkk wjkf I used to give 100% support to Nanaksahi calendar created by Mr. Purewal but now i am having second thoughts about this. In my personal opinion Bikrami Calendar was good enough for our community and it was being used by our forefathers. The only reason i started supporting Nanaksahi calendar because i believed that that bikrami calendar is hindu system based calendar which i think it is not. Few questions: 1) What is the authority or Research Mr. Purewal did that the Tohra/SGPC and others decided to put this calendar in our kaum? What is the background of Purewal? All i know is that he is from Canada with no research background. 2) Who were consulted before a…

Gur Pyari Sadh Sangat Ji, Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh I'm not sure if sangat is aware of this youtube channel http://www.youtube.c...SachKhojAcademy I happened to stumble upon it the other day and was quite impressed by this amazing katha. Nihang Dharam Singh has done an immense seva of doing katha of various banis from both Guru Granth Sahib Ji and Sri Dasam Granth Ji. I highly recommend everyone to please listen to these videos and enlighten yourselves with Guru ji's gyaan as told by Nihang Dharam Singh.

For the first time in ages, I actually enjoyed the queens xmas speech. (which can be seen here http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK-News/Queens-Christmas-Day-Message-Gives-Praise-To-Military-And-The-Commonwealth-Of-Nations/Article/200912415508088). dalbit singh from milasia explained what the commonwealth meant to him.. It was good to see a Sikh on TV in her message without the topic being ethnic minorities in the uk, multicultural britain etc. in her message the queen had said "I am sure that we have all been affected by events in Afghanistan and saddened by the casualties suffered by our forces serving there. "Our thoughts go out to their relations and friends who hav…

Last week, a very close friend of mine who was in his 20s passed away after suffering from serious epilepsy for many years. He had a lot of plans for his life but everything got dashed in the one moment of his death. I am writing this for anyone out there, who may sometimes forget the worth of being alive and the worth of life. This easily happens when we get caught up in all the problems of our life and its worth diminishes in our mind very subtly. This so easily happens when we lose a job, a close one, serious financial, health and emotional problems pile up, or we are not happy to be what and who we are. I talked to a Sikh lady after a kirtan satsang about 27 ye…

Vaheguru ji ka Khalsa, Vaheguru ji ki Fateh ! This first year for Sikh Organisation for Prisoners Welfare (SOPW) has been very productive and successful.

This includes the bailout in November of Bibi Balwinder Kaur the wife of Jagtar Singh Hawara (pictures added to FB group) who had spent nearly 5 years in Sangrur jail and also Pargat Singh, Sukhdev Singh and Amarjit Singh from Nabha Jail who had served between five and 12 years respectively. For continuance and expansion of our project…

source: www.gurmatbibek.com This very interesting incident, Bhai Tajinder Singh jee of New Zealand narrated to me as follows: ************BEGINNING OF THE NARRATION******************** I used to work in Indian Air Force and kept my beard open all my life. They tried to put pressure on me to tie my beard but they failed. During my service, I met with many different people who had different beliefs. There was a Radhasoami in our unit, and he had a very bad habit of targeting Sikhs for conversion. He used to openly preach against Shabad Guru – Siri Guru Granth Sahib jee. He was quite adept in debating and defeated many Sikhs when debating about the su…

Yeah Dhadi and Kaweshria are known for joking around now and then. -
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.
