  3. Japan Earthquake Relief Underway as as UNITED SIKHS Aid Team Delivers Emergency Relief Materials by United Sikhs on Monday, March 21, 2011 at 7:33pmHighlights: Nearly half a million people impacted, Nuclear crisis rating increased Relief supplies for personal hygiene and to help keep warm are top priority First consignment of personal hygiene products delivered by UNITED SIKHS Aid team in Chiba to the Matsudo City Office.CHIBA, JAPAN: After nine days without heat, electricity, running water, regular meals or word from their loved ones, people affected by the Tsunami are hungry and frustrated. The situation is tense but under control. The humanitarian crisis is eroding confidence of the people. The following is the report from ground zero of the impact: Severity rating of the nuclear crisis raised to level 5 from 4 on the seven-level INES international scale, putting it on a par with the Three Mile Island accident in 1979. Chernobyl was a 7 on that scale. No plans yet to expand the evacuation area beyond 30 km at this point. Japan's nuclear agency said the radiation level at the plant was as high as 20 millisieverts per hour. The limit for workers involved in emergencies was 100 millisieverts but it has been raised to 250 for those handling the incident. Nearly 8,649 people have been confirmed killed in the quake and tsunami. Another 13,262 people are missing with many feared dead. More than 380,000 evacuees live in shelters; 256,000 homes without electricity; 1.5 million homes lack running water. While the Governments work on long term plans, we need to work with the local teams to help people regain the strength to start life afresh. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) reports that weather conditions have worsened in the areas most affected which is affecting distribution of relief supplies. More than 350,000 evacuees continue to endure cold weather at shelters in 16 prefectures, including Tokyo,as blankets and other desperately needed relief supplies start to meet the demand. Gursharanjeet Kaur, coordinating relief efforts for UNITED SIKHS in Chiba, Japan, said "Currently there is a need for emergency relief items because of the standard of sanitation in camps. We are distributing basic hygiene kits that include body soap, hand sanitizers, tooth brush and paste, bath tissue, baby diapers, and water bottles at the cost of approximately USD 100 per family, that will takes care of their hygiene for a month". She adds, "The weather is colder, and so we also need supplies to help people keep warm." The UNITED SIKHS Aid team procured the items locally as it is cost effective and timely. Additional relief items will be procured and supplied based on assessment of needs by the local team in Chiba. The team is working for those most affected, though themselves experiencing the effects first hand. Fissures in the earth appeared in the city of Chiba as a result of the Earthquake with water seeping through. We encourage you to make monetary donations for our brethren in Japan. Please stand by our Japanese brothers and sisters – keep them in your prayers and reach out with support. How you can help: UNITED SIKHS is now collecting monetary donations to purchase supplies locally.

  5. Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh! Sikh Doctors Lead Fight for the Right to Serve Plz Sign http://sikhcoalition.org/ArmySignOnLetter.asp (Washington, DC) April 7, 2009 - This Vaisakhi, the Sikh Coalition will stand alongside two Sikh military recruits to call on the U.S. Army to end its ban on turbans. The men, both medical professionals in the Army, are being told that they must remove their religiously-mandated turbans and cut their unshorn hair and beards when they report for active duty in July. Today, we are asking for your help to ensure Sikhs' right to serve. Captain Kamaljit Singh Kalsi, a doctor, and Second Lieutenant Tejdeep Singh Rattan, a dentist, were part of an Army program that pays for medical education in return for military service. At the time of their enrollment, military recruiters assured both men that their turbans and unshorn hair "would not be a problem." Captain Kalsi and Second Lieutenant Rattan maintained their Sikh identity throughout graduate school, during specialized Army training, at Army ceremonies, and in Army medical facilities. Four years later, the Army is telling the two Sikhs that the recruiters' assurances were false and that they will have to forsake their religious practices. Next Tuesday, the Sikh Coalition will launch a campaign to protect Sikhs' right to serve in the U.S. Army with their Sikh identity intact. That day marks the 310th anniversary of Vaisakhi - the day Sikhs received their articles of faith. On April 14, 2009, the Coalition will file a formal complaint with the Department of Defense's Inspector General on behalf of Captain Kalsi and Second Lieutenant Rattan. "After four years of training in Army facilities, I was shocked to learn that the Army would go back on its promise, and expect me to choose between my faith or my service to my country," said Captain Kalsi. "There is nothing about my religion that stops me from doing my job. I know I can serve well without compromising my faith." In 1981, the Army banned "conspicuous" religious articles of faith for its service members. However, Sikhs and other soldiers of faith who were part of the army before the 1981 rule change were allowed to stay. As a result, Colonel Arjinderpal Singh Sekhon, a doctor, and Colonel G.B. Singh, a dentist, continued to serve in the U.S. Army with their turbans and unshorn hair for the past twenty-five years. They both retired in 2008. Despite this, Captain Kalsi and Second Lieutenant Rattan are being prohibited from taking up the very same positions in the Army today. In 2008, the United States celebrated the 60th anniversary of the integration of our armed forces. On that day, President Harry Truman declared "there shall be equality of treatment and opportunity for all persons in the armed forces without regard to race, color, religion or national origin." Today we are asking the military to follow this core American principle with words and actions. To learn more, please visit our Campaign Action Center. There, you can sign on to a petition, get details for Tuesday's press conference, and find out about other ways you can help. As always, the Sikh Coalition urges all Sikhs to practice their faith fearlessly. If someone tell you to remove your articles of faith, please report the incident. Chardi Kala!

  7. As fragrance abides in the flower, As the reflection is within the mirror, So doth thy Lord abide within thee, Why search Him without? (Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji) The subject on which I meditate is truth. The practice to which I devote myself is the truth. The topic of my conversation is truth. My thoughts are always in truth. For lo! my self has become the truth (Lord Buddha) Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, he answered them, "The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed; nor will they say, 'Lo, here it is!' or 'There!' for behold, the kingdom of God is within you." (Jesus Christ) He who knows his own self, knows God. (Prophet Mohammed) The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed. (Albert Einstein) A remarkable people the Sikhs, with their Ten Prophets, five distinguishing marks and their traditional rite of water stirred with steel: a people who have made history and will make it again. (F Yeats-Brown 1945) Win as if you were used to it, lose as if you enjoyed it for a change. "The effects of kindness are not always seen immediately. Sometimes it takes years until your kindness will pay off. Sometimes you never see the fruits of your labors, but they are there, deep inside of the soul of the one you touched." (Dan Kelly) Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is bliss, taste it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, fight for it. (Mother Teresa) To begin again means that you won't give up. To begin again means you're trying. You can either start over and live your life Or spend the rest of your life slowly dying. It is never the falling that makes us fail. It is never the pain or the crying. You can never fail in life, my friend, Unless you give up trying. (Bob Perks)
