Amritdharis and clubbing

Reasons why people go clubbing:

  • To get pissed
  • To check out opposite sex and get links (for sexual pleasures)
  • To take drugs and dance

So what place does an Amritdhari have in this environment of SIN?

The answer is none. But some Amritdharis come out with these excusues:

  • We aint breaking no rehit
  • Where in Sikhi does it say, you cant have an good time.
  • We just go to chill with our friends.

Well these are all just lame excuses and there is many other ways to chill. You can play a sport or go and do so many other things in a place where there is morals and uncorrupted vibes.

Clubs are full of Sin, corruption and worldly pleasures (enticement) !

If you go to a cave full of soot, your face will get blackened!

BHAI JOGA SINGH:

From the early youth Joga Singh was living at the Guru's Darbar and was a great devotee. One day Guru's eye caught him and he asked what his name was. He replied," O true king, my name is Joga Singh." The Guru asked," Whose Joga you are?" (Joga means for whose service he is fit or simply for whom he is?) "I am Guru Joga (I am in the service of the Guru)," replied Joga Singh. Upon this the Guru promised," If you are Guru Joga, then Guru is tere Joga ( then the Guru is for you)."

After sometimes Joga Singh went to his home in Peshawar for his marriage. When the marriage ceremony was half-way through, a man arrived with an urgent message from the Guru to him to proceed to Anandpur without delay. Joga Singh read the command and instantly left for Anandpur without completing the marriage ceremony. He obeyed Guru's order over everything else. Indeed the path of the devotees is sharper than the edge of a razor blade, and it is even narrower than the hair-breadth on which they have to tread.

Joga Singh continued his journey to Anandpur as fast as he could. After passing through Lahore and Amritsar, he reached a resting spot at Hoshiarpur. On his way his ego got inflated and he thought," Who could have acted like me? Certainly very few Sikhs would carry out the Guru's order like me." This sense of pride brought his fall. At night he was overwhelmed by evil-passion and he started towards the house of a prostitute. Joga Singh was wearing Guru's uniform- a turban and beard. On his way to the prostitute, Joga Singh talked to himself," If some one sees me going into the house of a prostitute, it will bring disgrace to the Guru. Outwardly I am in Guru's attire. So nobody should see me entering the prostitute's house."

As soon as he reached near the house of the prostitute, a watchman appeared saying aloud," Be aware fellows!" Joga Singh could not enter the house and he walked on to the next street. Looking around and thinking that the watchman might have left, he hurried towards the house of the prostitute again. To his amazement the watchman reappeared shouting," Be aware fellows!" Joga Singh could not afford to be seen by anybody going into the house of the prostitute, knowing in his heart that it would bring slur to Guru's name since he was in Guru's uniform. Finally he quit his evil act after trying a few times without success.

Next morning he started his journey and reached Anandpur. Joga Singh stood mute before the Guru with his head down. The Guru asked him about the well-being of himself and his family but Joga Singh stood mute. The divine Master then addressed him," Joga Singh, do you remember when you said that you were Guru Joga, and the Guru had promised, if you were Guru Joga, then Guru tere Joga." Upon this the Guru further explained,"In the garb of a watchman I guarded you in the streets of Hoshiarpur last night, against the sinful deeds and thus saved you from disgrace." Joga Singh fell on Guru's feet and asked for forgiveness.

Such are the ways of the Master. Once we put our complete faith in him, he does not abandon us. The Guru confirms:

"As long as the Khalsa remain distinct and intact, I shall bless them in every way; When they detract

from the prescribed path, I detest them for ever."

(Guru Gobind Singh)

'Sagal duar chad keh ga-io tuaro duar

Ba'he ga-eh kee laj as gobind das tu-har'

Leaving all doors, I come to Your door

Hold me by the arm, protect my honour

for Gobind is Your servant.

(dohra in rahras sahib)

Who said Girls cant Rep it?


Raminder Kaur Bedi, 22, from Patti feels proud of the fact that she is a sole woman gatka performer in her area. One of the two sisters in the family, she is employing this art not only to protect this important piece of the rich Sikh heritage, but also to take cudgels against the menace of female foeticide.

Bedi, who started performing the gatka at a very young age, has vivid memories of an event that inspired her to pursue martial arts. I was very young at that time, but I remember watching an inspiring performance during a religious procession, which motivated me to learn the skill, she said. From that moment, she has been using most of her spare time practicing gatka.

At other times she is busy imparting knowledge of the martial skills to the boys in her neighbourhood. Initially not many people in her circle thought much of her desire to learn the skill, but were forced to take notice when she put up one impressive show after the other and won accolades in different district and state-level events. Though well-versed in almost every nuance of the art, her most awe-inspiring feat in this discipline includes her routine with a sword and shield.

Raminder, meanwhile, laments that now-a-days very few people bother to take some time out from their busy lives and learn gatka, without realising that it is an integral part of the Sikh heritage.

Her objective, however, is to use the art as a weapon against female foeticide. Our Gurus always raised their voice against the killing of girls and women, but many people are still indulging in it, she said referring to foeticide menace. She maintained that she wanted to make the society realise what wrong that it was committing by killing girls even before they were born.

I have brought laurels to my families name and want people to realise that their daughters can make them proud too if only they would give them a chance, added Bedi.

What A Cheek!!!!!


The Akal Thakt Jathedar is chilling and playing golf.

He is relaxing because of all the hard work he has done, all that travelling to the RSS programmes must take it out of him. I mean the Panth is doing so good init we have freedom and there is no disrespect going on. Therefore the Jathedar can have a little break.

NOT

The situation the Panth is in and the problems the panth is facing, the jathedar shouldn’t even have time to sleep. I mean families of shaheeds are suffering in poverty. People are still locked up for no reason. The killers of the anti Sikh riots have not been brought to justice. The youth in Punjab are cutting their hair and taking drugs. Our history is being rewritten and is being replaced with slanderous versions. But the jathedar has time and money to take his family to Canada for holiday and play golf.

I say Vedanti should be taken down from his position!

We need a real Jathedar like Akali Phoola Singh. Who became Shaheed for the Panth!


The great Sikh General, Jathedar Akali Phoola Singh, was born in 1761. His father Ishar Singh was fatally wounded during the great massacre of Sikhs (Wada Ghalughara) in 1762. Before his death he charged Bhai Narain Singh of Misl Shaheedan with the responsibility of raising his infant son.

Akali Ji, by the age of ten, could recite Nitnem and other Gurbani hymns. At Anandpur Sahib, he always kept himself busy doing sewa or reading Gurbani, and he became very popular with the sangat. Because of his scholastic attitude and commitment to Panthic welfare, he was made the leader (Jathedar) of the Misl after the death of Bhai Narain Singh. In 1800, he came to Amritsar and made the Mahants improve the management of the Gurdwaras. The major credit for extending the boundaries of the Sikh Raj goes to Akali Ji, the legendary general of the Sikhs.

In 1808, a British representative was sent to Amritsar for talks for developing better relations between the two governments. A Muslim platoon with the British emissary organized a procession to celebrate their festival chanting loud slogans. When passing near the Akal Takhat, they were advised not to create noise, because it disturbed the Sikh congregation. However, the leaders of the procession insulted the Sikhs instead of listening to their suggestion. On hearing this disturbing news, Akali Ji himself went to settle the matter with the British platoon. The soldiers apologized and behaved respectfully in the future. No more noisy processions were taken near the Gurdwara again.

Akali ji fought in many battles for the protection of Sikhi. He also received the honour of becoming a shaheed for the Panth on the Battlefield.

He was a fearless and skilled commander. He maintained the Sant-Sipahi (Saint-Soldier) tradition of the Khalsa. Akali Phoola Singh Ji remains a role model for all Sikhs.

SIkh Body Demands Progress


’84 Riots
Convert affidavits into FIRs, demands Sikh body
Naveen S. Garewal
Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, February 12
The All-India Sikh Conference has demanded that all affidavits filed before various commissions and courts by eyewitnesses of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots should be converted into FIRs.

“There is sufficient evidence available against 10,000 people who continue to roam about freely on Delhi roads after massacring 5,000 innocent Sikhs. But, powerful politicians are preventing courts from bringing justice”.

Stating that successive government have been trying to help people like Jagdish Tytler, Sajjan Kumar, Kamal Nath, who were in the forefront of the anti-Sikh riots, president of the All-India Sikh Conference (Babbar) Gurcharan Singh Babbar said if the affidavits available with the government forming the part of various commissions and instigations were converted into FIRs, many witnesses would come forward to retreat their submissions.

“How is it possible that the director of revenue intelligence (DRI) raided my house and offices and took away all material I had collected against those guilty of perpetuating crimes against Sikhs and subsequently destroyed it? After all this was not a matter that related to revenue, he was directed by Jagdish Tytler and Gulam Nabi Azad to do so”, Babbar alleged.

Babbar said he had received fresh threats from those responsible for the riots for his sustained campaign to pressurise the government to book the guilty.

He demanded that he be provided a licensed weapon to defend himself. But, he made it clear that if something were to happen to him, Jagdish Tytler would be responsible.

“I have definite and specific information that an assassin has been hired to eliminate me”, he said.

The Delhi-based Sikh activist also appealed to the Sikh community across the world to persuade Jasbir Singh, who is based in California, to come to India and appear before the Delhi High Court to state what he had witnessed in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.

“The next hearing is scheduled for February 27 and Jasbir must tell the court what he saw, or else thousands of criminals and their henchmen will go scot free”.

The CBI is telling the government that it does not have any evidence to nail the culprits, “I appeal to Jasbir and others like him to come forward and tell the world what they saw”.

Gurcharan Singh, who was himself declared a “wanted” person by the government, said he had suffered humiliation and atrocities at the hands of those who did not want him to pursue the “killers of Sikhs in Delhi”, but his crusade to expose the criminals will continue.

Meanwhile, the All-India Sikh Student’s Federation, has claimed that it has managed to persuade yet another eyewitness, Surinder Singh, to come and make a statement on what he saw during the riots.
