Help Police catch the culprits

Akhand Paat Sahib Arambh Today

On 16th March 2009 Bow Gurdwara Sahib was raised to the ground by fire. The fire prevented the Sangat from reaching Sachkand on the first floor to perform the seva of retrieving 8 Saroops of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

The following day police allowed Gurdwara sewadars to enter the damaged building for 10 minutes in order to retrieve the 8 Saroops of Guru Ji.

The 8 Saroops of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji were brought to Mata Sahib Kaur Sikh Academy. The reason for this is that the Academy has a large enough Sachkand to accommodate 8 Saroops of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

As news spread in London, Sewadars from all Sikh sampardamas and Jathebandia arrived to collectively perform the Sewa of changing the burnt Ramala Sahibs and arranging for the comfortable resting of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. For all Sangat present, doing the Sewa of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji’s burnt angs was highly emotional.

At this point it is important to say such beadbi of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji cannot happen without the Hukam (command) of Guru Sahib themselves. Guru Teg Bahadur Ji chose to sacrifice their pavitar Saroop for the sake of Dharam. Guru Teg Bahadur Ji gave their shaheedi to awaken the spirit of truth and righteousness within the people. The masses prior to Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji’s sacrifice were totally downtrodden and deflated by the oppressive rulers. Today Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji have given shaheedi of 8 pavitar Saroops.

It is important that we all look within our hearts and reflect: Are our daily actions and thoughts worthy of being called those of a Sikh?

We have recently celebrated 300 years of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji’s Gur Gadi: have we as a kaum (community) moved forwards or backwards?

Do we even practice the basic teachings of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji by doing Sewa (selfless service) and Simran (daily prayer)?

Upon instruction from Akal Thakt Jathedar, Giani Gurbachan Singh, the saskar of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji’s Saroops will take place at Khalsa College Chigwell on Sunday 22nd March.



The programme details are as follows:

Friday 20th March 10.00am - Mata Sahib Kaur Sikh Academy - Aramb Sri Akhand path Sahib

Sunday 22nd March 10.30am - Mata sahib Kaur Sikh Academy - Bhog Sri Akhand path Sahib

Sunday 22nd March 12.00pm - Saskar Sri Guru Granth Sahib JI - Khalsa college, Chigwell



There has been an overwhelming amount of concern from Sangat nationally and internationally. Coaches are being arranged from around the country to allow Sangat to attend the programme. If one of our family members leaves this physical world we all make time to pay our respects. Our living Guru has given shaheedi of 8 pavitar Saroops. It is wholly appropriate that all of the Sangat attends.

We expect Sangat to attend in unprecedented numbers. This programme can only happen with the blessings and support of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and Guru Roop Sat Sangat. If you can help with sewa over the weekend please come to the Academy or phone 07951431053, 07809650776 or 07958581555 . Sewadars are needed for a whole range of tasks including helping with langar, pathis and stewards.

Please spread the message to all of our brothers and sisters of the events as outlined above so that they can attend and pay their respects to our true Guru, Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Kee Fatheh.

Gurbani Gatra

Alot Of Amritdharis have these There is a few things that we need to be careful about: Bani is the Guru and the Guru is the Bani, so when we wash these gatras please do not put them in the machine with your dirty socks etc that is very disrespectful, its like standing on a gootka. When you train or do gatka do not wear this gatra as people will punch and hit the gurbani on the gatra. we bow to Gurbani and yet let it get hit when training, how hyprocritcal is this?

This Sikh society is amazing init NOT

As you can see this society is soo busy spreading sikhi NOT lol

Bhangra has nothing to do with Sikhi. Create a seperate Bhangra society why do bullshit under the banner of Guru Jis Sikhi.

Sikhi is about getting to god and making the world a better place, What has BHangra got to do wwith this.

Gop Virk

Baba Deep Singh JI died defending Sikhi, but thses mans commit anti-Sikh Activities with the tattoo of Baba Deep Singh JI what a twat!!!

Is that a knife (what a scene!)

This is exactly what sikhs are going through init

Relax and chill to this tune

Fabricated Kirpan Case Haunts Sikh Community Two Years Later

Friday 13th of February 2009

Panthic Weekly News Bureau

TORONTO, Canada (KP)— Another kirpan case has reached the court in Montreal, and this time a thirteen year old Sikh student is accused of allegedly using his kirpan to threaten his classmates. It is believed that the case should follow precedent set in the case filed earlier in 2006, which was awarded in favor of another Sikh Student.

Renowned lawyer Julius Grey, who successfully defended Gurbaj Singh in 2006, has again taken up the kirpan case this year. Julius Grey believes that the Sikh student has been framed in this case and he has not violated the law in any way. He denied the allegation of the Sikh Student pulling out his kirpan, saying that the Sikhs are barred from unsheathing the kirpan in public.

Grey held that the only time the Sikh Student had unsheathed the kirpan was when asked by the police and when school officials forced him to show it after the alleged incident took place. In contrast, the school is pushing the case as a clear incident of assault.

Julius Grey said that the two classmates who were blaming the Sikh student wanted to teach him a lesson as they held a personal grudge against him. The story was clearly fabricated and then reported to the principal who, without investigating the case, reported it to the police.

Observers say that xenophobia has steadily been on the rise in Quebec. Some in the province are still getting used to the influx of immigrants, other Canadians and non-French speakers. Customs and religious beliefs that they do not understand are often shunned and outlawed without an attempt to create understanding and cross-cultural communication.

The Sikh community stands united with the young Sikh Student. They are condemning the case and seeing it as a fabrication by the police to “get back to the Sikhs” as they lost the landmark case in 2006 against Gurbaj Singh, alleged Manjit Singh, a local, well renowned leader of the Sikh community.

Student Protesting at Jallianwala Bagh Beaten by Police

Friday 13th of February 2009

Panthic Weekly News Bureau

AMRITSAR SAHIB (KP)—In a strange twist, Punjab Police lashed out at young protestors at Jallianwala Bagh. The protest by college students, led by the Punjab Students Union and Punjab Naujawan Sabha, was held to air views against the renovation of certain parts of Jallianwala Bagh. A warning was already given to the Punjab Government in the past to stop construction at Jallianwala Bagh, however the protest was carried out due to the lack of a Government response. The Punjab Police showed no mercy when they attacked the students as well as women and elders. The police charged the protestors with batons and did not stop as the protestors took sanctuary inside Sri Harmandir Sahib. The protestors had demolished the much debated “light and sound” gallery built here recently. While speaking to the press, the student body led by Gurmukh Singh Mann alleged that the history of Jallianwala Bagh was being destroyed by the Punjab Government. The students raised objections over a newly constructed structure at Jallianwala Bagh and held that the Government was bent on destroying the history of Punjab by modernizing old landmarks. They said that Jallianwala Bagh demonstrated the struggles of Punjab’s forefathers and it needed to be preserved in its original form. The protesters belonging to the Punjab Students Union, who later paid obeisance at Harmandir Sahib and did ardas, later told the press that several students were forced out of Harmandir Sahib by the police and illegally beaten. In addition, over twenty five students, including eleven females, were arrested by the Police without warrant. Several eye witnesses also testified against such cruel brutalities of the police. Eyeing another wave of protests against the Government, Sukhbir Badal, deputy Chief Minister, has asked the Director General of the Police to investigate the incident and submit a report. He admitted that such an incident should have never have happened and apologized for the actions of the Police. The merciless beating of innocent students reminds many of the brutality by British troops against civilians who were massacred here ninety years ago. The incident resulted in almost four hundred casualties in about 10 minutes. Over the years, there have been complaints due to a lack of Government intervention in preserving the Bagh. Organizations have asked the Punjab Government to issue a proper investigation into the incident and to further stop any such constructions or renovation work without the consultation of experts. Modernization of historical landmarks will only result in damage to the golden history of Punjab and should never be tolerated. The release of all students without charges has also been demanded by different organizations in this case.

UK's Sikh Youth Group Promoting RSS & Hindu Sanatanist Websites

Friday 13th of February 2009

Panthic Weekly News Bureau

LONDON (KP)— A UK Sikh youth group under the name of ‘Project Naad’ has been discovered to be supporting the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, a fundamentalist Hindu right-wing nationalist movement that has and plans to further distort Sikh history and religion and claims that Sikhs are Hindus. Worryingly, this group claims to be providing resources and materials to promote the Sikh religion to Sikh youth and non-Sikhs in colleges and universities. The same group is involved in the discredited ‘Sikh Student Camp’ (Chigwell, England), in which last year they were group leaders and also were invited to deliver a talk to naïve campers.

In July 2008, Panthic Weekly exposed Project Naad for supporting the Dera Sacha Sauda cult, who has mercilessly murdered innocent Sikhs, and for writing against the Sikhs who seek justice. Further to this, in September 2008, Panthic Weekly exposed some of the subtle anti-Gurmat propaganda contained within the Project Naad leaflets, articles and statements by them on Sikh forums. This week, Panthic Weekly exposes and highlights how this small group of UK youngsters in Sikh guise are aligned to anti-Sikh elements and promote their ideology via their website, internet forums, social-networking sites, university Sikh societies, and the Sikh Student Camp (Chigwell, England).

"they (Project Naad) are openly promoting the so-called Sanatan Sikhi ideology and RSS sites on their own website"

Promotion of anti-Sikh groups by Project Naad had already been raised as a concern by Sikhs on internet forums in the past. Project Naad members replied on these forumsm including our own, in support of Radha Soamis, Namdharis, Nakli Nirankaris, and Dera Jhoota Sauda. Now it appears that they are openly promoting the so-called Sanatan Sikhi ideology and RSS websites on their own website.

Screen shot images from Project Naad Website:

Project Naad's official site contains links to Sanatan Hindu and RSS websites

It is clear by now that Project Naad supports the widely discredited Sanatan view of Sikhi that is propagated and supported by UK Nangs (fake Neo-Nihangs) and the RSS. Panthic Weekly urges the UK Sangat to be cautious of this and other anti-Panthic and anti-Gurmat groups targeting the youth and wider Sangat through discreet Parchar on the Internet, universities, and particular camps.

Guru Gobind Singh and a pirs test

On the day of Gobind Rai's birth, Bhikan Shah, a Muslim Pir who lived in the punjab, did a very curious thing. He bowed to the east instead of to the west towards mecca. His followers were shocked and asked him why he was doing this. He replied.’On this day, a beloved of God has been born who will both a saint and a hero.' He vowed to go and worship the new-born saint, and would perform a daily fast until he saw him. He made the very long journey to Patna and arrived there exhausted and weak with hunger. When he came to the Guru's house, he asked to see the child. The Guru's mother and grandmother were cautious and sent word to the Pir that he should come back in three months. He said he would sit, fast, and wait. After two days, he was still there. Finally, Mata Gujari was moved by his devotion and allowed him to come in and present his offerings. The Pir brought in his presents and bowed low to the little child. Then he did a very strange thing. He put two identical covered pots in front of the boy, and sat back and waited. The child looked into Pir's eyes, smiled, and touched both of the pots. The pir smiled back at him and prepared to leave. When the Sikhs and his followers asked him what he meant by this, he replied, 'In one pot were sweats made by Hindu sweet maker, and the other pot by a Muslim sweet maker. By putting his hands on both pots, the Guru will give equal respect to both Hinds and Muslims, and will include both in his new religion. 'So saying, he blessed the child and returned home, remaining a steadfast supporter of the Guru his entire life.

Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the poor Bibi

A Masand (a priest who would collect offerings from the Sangat and give them to the Guru) would collect 'Dasvand' (ten percent of earnings) from the locals to donate the Guru's Golak (deposit). One day a poor lady came with a handful of daal (lentils) and chowl (rice) and put it on the plate of the Masand who was collecting offerings for the Guru. The Masand looked at the old lady and laughed at her. The lady was shocked at why the Masand was laughing. He said, 'Old lady is this all you have?

You expect us to make kichar-ree (lentil rice) with this or something? With this little amount, there is no point of donating it! Take it back!' He handed back the handful of rice and of daal.

The lady knew that in the house of Guru Ji everything counts and that the Guru (the all-knower) must know what is happening. Even dough the Masands would collect money and offerings on behalf of the Guru, some of the Masand's had become corrupt and greedy, and kept the offerings for themselves.

The poor old lady started collecting her offerings at home. Months later, Sri Guru Gobind Rai Ji was in the area. The old bibi (mother) found out. She knew that if a Sikhs prays from the bottom of the heart the Guru will hear.

So she did Ardaas (prayer) that Guru Ji blessed her home so she can see the prince with her old eyes. She made some Kich-charee (lentil rice).

Hearing her ardaas Sri Guru Gobind Rai and some Sikhs went to the old lady’s house. Guru Ji said,'oh dadi-ma (Grandmother) I have been awaiting to eat your Kich-charee. The old mother offered food to Guru Ji and his Sikhs. 'Guru Ji now stood up to leave. The old lady pleads to Guru Sahib, 'please don't leave my house, please. Always stay with me'.

Sri Guru Gobind Rai Ji with a gentle smile on his face replied, 'Oh Dadi-ma (Grandmother) I will always be with you, when you want to feed me kich-charee, feed the poor. Feed the poor and you have fed me and you will see me through this.' The old lady accepted Guru Ji's order.

Every time the old lady felt like seeing Guru Ji, she would make kich-charee and feed the poor and hungry people, and she could feel Guru Ji with her always. Like this, she was with Guru Gobind Rai from then on till her last breath.

Nowadays, if someone donated a kich-charee (or a handful of rice and daal) at a Gudwara, they would be laughed at. Only a Gudwara where a true Guru's Sikh is present would they happily accept the offering and donate it. Otherwise people would laugh and say that Singh's eat keer (rice pudding), a variety of daal and Sabji's and best of best food and not a poxy kich-charee which poor and needy people eat in India.

If Guru Saheb could eat from the old lady's offerings.... then why can't we see this?
Guru Saheb didn’t say is there Turka, does it have enough onions and mirach (spices).... however nowadays we have become fussy, complainant and stuck up.

Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj!!!!!!
