I have been extensively involved in non-profit work within our sikh community for more than 20 years, particularly in after-school tutoring and camps back in the days. I have noticed a pressing need for assistance in the areas of mental health and suicide prevention. 

I am prepared to contribute towards establishing a 24/7 hotline (we can use professionals from India) and would greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide in setting up an organization to address this major issue within our community. I am wondering if you would be willing to volunteer your experience and time to support this non-profit setup.

I cannot think of anything that is the best fit for my dasvaandh.

Being brought up in a small town with a smaller Sikh population, I can understand how Gurughar plays an important role in our lives. I highly encourage the sangat to donate towards this sewa work.

I wouldn't take this youtuber seriously because his livelihood depends on selling stuff to those who panic. The more panic ppl, the more business he will make. Look at his description of the video. On the other hand, it is true that the some rogue world leaders are becoming more trigger happy; specially Russia and China.

How much per acre and where is the CHEAPEST agricultural/forest land in Punjab today (to buy for tree planting/nature protection project)?

General areas and ballpark prices will be helpful so that I can narrow the search.

Ps. If someone knows any non-selfish property dealer, please PM me their details 

Non-Indian residents cannot buy agriculture land. Property dealers of India are the worst. 
Best way is to team up with india based NGO/Non-profit org for environmental projects

I don't think that one is a vpn. 

Yes. We reject that based on the user id and his email address completely showing that this person is not a sikh. 

If the land is on the main road then its price might be in crores. I am not sure about Moga but land prices in Doaba and Majha are pretty high. 

Many are trying to register but we are rejecting them. 80% of the new signups are ending up in trash due to their usage of VPN or fake emails/id. If you see any wrong person getting the approval to join here, please let us know. Below is one example of many new requests for new accounts from Australia trying to signup with us - Complete fake ID by judging from the email id.

Why is he wearing one of those silly sherwanis (or whatever they are called) instead of a chola?

That is totally his choice.

City Sikhs, Project Naad, British Sikh Association (lord Rami ranger)- Complete jokers.

Even if alcohol is completely banned and no Hindus, Sikhs, or Muslims drink alcohol in Punjab, this slavery would still exist because of profits and maya; we need to give punishments for slavers.

I think you need your head examined. This is deeper than just alcohol availability. 

The above is the result of bhekhi 'Sikhs' i.e. demons who have no problem wearing banna and having absolutely no humanity. This is no new phenomena (see below from Chaupa Singh rahit). 

Having a 'holy city' where this goes on will be an even bigger disgrace. We have to straighten this stuff out beforehand. 

 

 

 

I didn't know that you drink but not my intention to hurt your feeling bruh.
Nahi ji, I don't wear khalsa bana and never wore one and i don't think im worthy enough yet to wear one anyway.

One of the main point of Anandpur Sahib Resolution was to get this "small recognition" of holy city status for Amritsar but due to heavy presence and lobby of Arya Samaj in Amritsar is the root cause of central govt not granting "Sikh" holy city status.

That is true. I rather love to see sikhs rejecting all vices with power of gurbani rather than by societal rules. 

Gross income. But again it is your sharda on how you much you want to donate. Guru Sahib ji said 10%.
Dasvaand of your pay and also Dasvaand of your time in prayers per day as well to be minimum.  

^ Above can be controlled and the only available legal framework in India is to stop desi sharab shops - Holy city status. If that is not doable then no govt; whether central or state can stop liquor powerhouse lobby. That lobby + central's ambition to suppress Sikhs is the result of not giving sikhs any holy city while they have given to hindus and muslims. 

Desi Liquor stores in punjab is the entry point for punjabis to become the addicts.  

I think that it is just too late. If Haridwar can get holy city status then why not amritsar? 

The reason they don't want to do it because if holy status given then Meat and Liquor will be banned from the city. Plus they simply want to continue to suppress the minority. Majority of the Amritsar residents are non-sikhs.

Those who think Amritsar is not important for Sikhs; needs to get their head check.

Once in a group we were debating practices of some nihung jathabandi and hazoor sahib traditions..

Bejurg Singh pitched in that discussion telling us that how sant ji once told his jatha that "we are not going to say nor object anything that we see at takht hazoor sahib or places we are going to visit". Our purpose is to do prachaar with utmost respect. This bejurg was part of sant jees jatha and travelled to various places in India.

Not much fan of such folks.. humble/just reign etc who uses their sikhi saroop for profit making business (nothing wrong with that) but i find it bit cheesy thing to do... Not sure if something happened between jagraj singh and kanwar. I heard few things in the jatha but never got to know the whole story. Now, hearing a girl making allegations of sexual assault against him is no good for our community.

With recent girl coming up stating that humble the poet guy allegedly abused her. I found below of late. bhai jagraj singh on this same guy.. Know anyone what was the feud between them?

Whilst I agree, the way the left has gone more and more strange, doesn't exactly make that a viable option either. 

That's totally right. I am not sure how independent mind Sikh can even think of supporting either right or left. We don't need non-sikh social role models of the current society when we have our scripture guiding us how to religiously practice "Kirat, naam, vand" and at the same time keep shaastar and fight evil both from mind and physical ones as well.

Most of the posters on sikhsangat, for example, get their news and opinions from right-wing garbage that they consume online. You can tell from the terminology that they use, the lies that they believe to be facts, and the issues that they think are of central importance in today's world.

What views do you find of sikhsangat members are far right-wing? I don't find any folks ideology here that too far right.. unless it is the like anti-vaccine folks.

There are lots of folks - especially in american politics as well where members of the party are more interested in any kinds of publicity to get them booked at the late night tv shows and to stay in the news circle. It is a big business for them but it is breaking our society. I have huge dislike and encourage of strict punishment to anyone for approaching underage kids for adults stuff. Tate was doing that for years.

Generally speaking... I recently came out of almost 3 weeks of our community stuff where i was involved in calming down two sides and has to pull many siyanay folks in. It was a similar issue where 24yrs old sardar pretending to be 17 to have relationship with 16 yrs old kid. Things i saw these 3 weeks is just ghor kalyug. Keep your kids close and away from these tik toks, insta and other stuff. No matter how hard it looks to you to accomplish that but in order to save our house, we must end this social media or raise our kids enough dharmi that these stuff does not bother them.

We had a big discussion related to this guy on this forum but i was not personally aware of this guy at that time. So much about him in news, this guys is a proper messed up. Did our youngsters in uk follow him? i hope and doubt that is the case... He is nothing but a groomer and holding quran while in jail. what a mess..

I disconnected with social media for the past few years and today i am finding out that how Influencer of wrong stuff is creeping in our young folk mind. I just couldn't believe on how our kids are making such disgusting stuff as norm now. I know it is kalyug but not that extreme level of kalyug

This will be great help for our kaum and great need for the mental health issues these days. I am willing to donate.
Do you have a proper plan and any idea on how it will work?

No the vast majority didn't wear any sort of turban/keski. A Panjabi Dupattā/Fulkari/scarf was the preferred head covering. A long plait, braids or a high or low buns were common hairstyles.

Some of them have jorra near top of their head and covered very well. Besides the keski/turban, The more concerning thing is : 

Why our Bibian does not cover their head. I found that more concerning.

We are all of the same soil according to this Sikh:

 

According to that "Sikh" 

Are you Turban wearing Sikh? If you are then you represent all Sikhs out there. Wearing turban you represent the whole community. Even in this kalyug it is dog eat dog world but still being in saroop of Sikhi, It is a very big responsibility and we have to tread very carefully out there. 

Whatever happened, let it be begone. Continue to keep in touch with your old boss. Give him some good gift as an appreciation for helping you starting your career.
