Leaflets for non-Sikhs


Recommended Posts

Just read through a few articles and this is the one I liked best, its from the Sunday times and this note left by some one at one of the scenes of the bomb blast beats what the mayor of London said as he never mentioned the Sikhs.

Jesse Honey, a student from Tooting, south London, stuck a Union Jack flag to the wall above the floral tributes. Across the middle of it he had written “we are all Londoners” and around the side the names of the major faiths — Hindu, Sikh, Christian, Muslim, Buddhism and Jewish.

“I think it’s more important now than ever to emphasise the fact that Londoners come from all (faiths) and there is absolutely no way that the attack will change that,” he said.

hope this gives you guys some ideas.

A small suggestion, Dont use black or any other coloured background because, the cost of printing these is usually high, you can keep the leaflets simple and on a plain background, use coloured paper if u want to save money, Reason i am saying this is that you can spend less and produce more, and reach large no of people.

Also try not to make other religion look bad, the message should be simple and clear, Sikhs are not Muslims, And Who are Sikhs..

Gora won't give a damn whether kesh is our kakkar or turban..  :doh: @  This is the stuff that keeps us away from educating the mass non sikhs about our identity..

I will try to make one by today !!!

Now keep a little cool-headed about Goray; you're reading a post from one right now, and if we were all that bad you would find me on this site or in a gurudwara. The only people out there that will not care if it's kesh or turban, are idiots and closed-minded. And believe me they come in every race and color. The important thing is that we do try to educate and enlighten. Haven't you ever been walking in a city and seen a small army of Christian people passing out tracts? Most of them, if accepted at all, get tossed in the nearest trashbucket unread. Maybe one of a hundred who take the paper may read it and come to think at least about their perceptions of Christians, if nothing else.

I've written before that I dislike conversion tactics and pressure, because many of the tract-passers are lousy examples of their faith. I am more impressed at the behavior and character of a person than all the words they could throw at me without much to back it up. The character of the Sikhs is one of the reasons I converted! I think it's a great idea to make up information literature and leave it out because there WILL be someone who will look at it and look at the Sikhs in a different light. Yes, you'll find elitist, racist jerks. That is the nature of this beast, I'm afraid. But you'll find good and intelligent people, too, who aren't afraid of having their minds and souls challenged; and you'll find Goray among them, and they will care because you'll have provided the best testimony in good conduct and character.

Blessed be,

Polska

    • 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.
