Where is our honour?

A Sikh of the Guru avoids developing a character full of egotistical pride. However it is also a Sikh tradition to live in honour and die for their honour. Our brave Shaheeds of the past willing faced death by the enemies’ sword to avoid being dishonoured. Do we still have that same sense of honour present with in the community today?

I am going to narrate incidents which are happening against the Sikh-Punjabi people at a rapid rate.

In shopping centres or high streets; when a Sikh family is going shopping; men from all back grounds make sexual advances (wink, whistle, rude comments such as "nice ass") in front of the girls parents/brother/husband and friend. Most of the time the oppressor is not even resisted verbally! I mean how dare a man approach a woman in that manner when she is walking with a male counter part.

In clubs the female Companions of a lot of Papus (wimpy Sikh-Punjabi guys) are touched up or approached Sexually in front of them. If you can’t protect a women’s honour; why take her there?

On the streets you will see daughters who are 13/14 dressed like prostitutes walking with their parents. I mean where is the honour of the parents?

A lot of racial attacks against the Sikhs turban take place without any resistance. I mean how dare a person think they can take off a warrior’s turban without getting a beating. But it is happening all over.

A lot of Punjabi boys get mugged by one person even if they are in a bigger group.

All these things are happening at a rapid rate all over UK. If a Nation has no dignity, Self respect and Honour is there any point of that nation existing? It is up to you the future to uplift the honour of our people. A film called "once we were warriors" is based on a different nation, but is very similar to the situation of our community so watch it if you can.

Ruthless Islamic ritual

That is a knife on the way to child's head. That child is be cut open with a large knife to celebrate an Islamic blood lust festival. While no normal mother in the human race would dare harm her baby. In the islamic world mothers are constrained by no such sentimentality, or basic human compasssion. A mother looks on with a smile on her face after slashing her son's scalp with a monsterous kitchen knife. She looks pleased (But look how much fear and anger is presented on the sons face; even he knows its wrong)

Another mother enjoys her son's wounds. IN this blood festival, it is not the cutting that is the point. The point is seeing the blood flow. That is why the blood is not wiped off his face, or his wound bandaged. The blood flow is the excitement. (You know he going to be future bomber (laughter) )

This is all apart of Islam. As it is the stated goal of Islam to see Sharia law and all Islamic customs applied to all of the world. Mutiliating your child's scalp with a huge butcher knife, is to pay hommage to the prophet Mohammad. This is compulsary. Remember the words of Omar Ahmad, from the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR):

"Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faiths, but to become dominant. The Koran…should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth."

What Is Aarti?

Aarti is a Hindu ritual, in which light from wicks soaked in ghee (purified butter) or camphor is offered to one or more devas/devis.

Aarti is said to have descended from the Vedic concept of fire rituals, or homa. The word may also refer to the traditional Hindu devotional song that is sung during the ritual. Aarti is performed and sung to develop the highest love for God. "Aa" means "towards", and "rati" means "the highest love for God" in Sanskrit.

Aarti refers to the whole puja ritual, of which offering the lamp is only one part. A conch is blown to start the aarti, and then an odd number of incense sticks are offered to the deity. The lamp is offered next, and then circulated among the devotees. A conch is then filled with water, and offered; the water is then poured into a sprinkler and sprinkled over the devotees. A cloth and flowers are then offered, and the flowers are circulated to the devotees, who sniff them. The deity is then fanned with a camara whisk, and a peacock fan.

Aarti is generally performed two to five times daily, and usually at the end of a puja or bhajan session. It is performed during almost all Hindu ceremonies and occasions. It involves the circulating of an 'Aarti plate' around a person or idol and is generally accompanied by the singing of songs in praise of that deva or person (many versions exist). In doing so, the plate itself is supposed to acquire the power of the deity. The priest circulates the plate to all those present. They cup their down-turned hands over the flame and then raise their palms to their forehead - the purificatory blessing, passed from the deva's image to the flame, has now been passed to the devotee.

The purpose of performing arati is to ward off evil effects and the malefic influence of the 'evil eye'. Aarti is hence performed on people of high social or economic status; small children during various ceremonies; on people who are going on or are coming back from a long journey; on a bride and bridegroom when they enter their house for the first time; at harvest; on anything else of importance. It is also performed on newly acquired property, or before an important task.

It is believed that the idol of a deva too is susceptible to the evil eye, and needs regular arati, with the singing of special arati songs. These songs laud the glory of the deva and describe the benefits that one might gain by praying to them.
Sometimes they also contain snippets of information on the life of the gods. Arati songs are particular to each deva. The most commonly sung arati is that to Vishnu. The song Om Jai Jagdish Hare is known as "The Universal Aarti" and is another common aarti song. In most temples in India, arati is performed at least twice a day, after the ceremonial puja, which is the time when the largest number of devotees congregates.

This form of prayer is of great importance to Hindus; but to a practising Sikh it is just a mere ritual. However at Sri Hazoor Sahib after Rehras Sahib; some misguided Singhs perform Aarti infront of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. A Singh comes out with a taali and gives it to this Singh who does seva for Guru Gobind Singh's shastar...This Singh then waves the flame around the shastar and a picture of Guru Gobind Singh five times. The taali is also waved around Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji 5 times. Threw out the whole process bells are rung; this is total disrespect and holds no place within Sikhi. Performing Aarti ceremony is anti Gurmat.

Gurmat view:

His Aartee, his lamp-lit worship service, is the Kirtan of His Praises, which brings lasting bliss.-ANG 393 - Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

Your Name, Lord, is my adoration and cleansing bath Without the Name of the Lord, all ostentatious displays are useless.

Your Name is my prayer mat, and Your Name is the stone to grind the sandalwood.

Your Name is the saffron which I take and sprinkle in offering to You.

Your Name is the water, and Your Name is the sandalwood. The chanting of Your Name is the grinding of the sandalwood. I take it and offer all this to You.

Your Name is the lamp, and Your Name is the wick. Your Name is the oil I pour into it.

Your Name is the light applied to this lamp, which enlightens and illuminates the entire world.

Your Name is the thread, and Your Name is the garland of flowers. The eighteen loads of vegetation are all too impure to offer to You.

Why should I offer to You, that which You Yourself created? Your Name is the fan, which I wave over You.

The whole world is engrossed in the eighteen Puraanas, the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage, and the four sources of creation.

Says Ravi Daas, Your Name is my Aartee, my lamp-lit worship-service. The True Name, Sat Naam, is the food which I offer to You. -Ang 694- Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

Prabhaatee:
Hear my prayer, Lord; You are the Divine Light of the Divine, the Primal, All-pervading Master.The Siddhas in Samaadhi have not found Your limits. They hold tight to the Protection of Your Sanctuary.

Worship and adoration of the Pure, Primal Lord comes by worshipping the True Guru, O Siblings of Destiny.Standing at His Door, Brahma studies the Vedas, but he cannot see the Unseen Lord.

With the oil of knowledge about the essence of reality, and the wick of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, this lamp illluminates my body.I have applied the Light of the Lord of the Universe, and lit this lamp. God the Knower knows.

The Unstruck Melody of the Panch Shabad, the Five Primal Sounds, vibrates and resounds. I dwell with the Lord of the World. Kabeer, Your slave, performs this Aartee, this lamp-lit worship service for You, O Formless Lord of Nirvaanaa. -Ang 1350- Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

Dhanaasaree, First Mehla, Aartee:

One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

In the bowl of the sky, the sun and moon are the lamps; the stars in the constellations are the pearls.

The fragrance of sandalwood is the incense, the wind is the fan, and all the vegetation are flowers in offering to You, O Luminous Lord.

What a beautiful lamp-lit worship service this is! O Destroyer of fear, this is Your Aartee, Your worship service. The sound current of the Shabad is the sounding of the temple drums. - Ang 663- Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

Outrageous behaviour

Translation of a shabad from Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji ANG 471

Fisrt mehl:

The man-eaters say their prayers.
Those who wield the knife wear the sacred thread around their necks.
In their homes, the Brahmins sound the conch.
They too have the same taste.
False is their capital, and false is their trade.
Speaking falsehood, they take their food.
The home of modesty and Dharma is far from them.
O Nanak, they are totally permeated with falsehood.
The sacred marks are on their foreheads, and the saffron loin-cloths are around their waists;
in their hands they hold the knives - they are the butchers of the world!
Wearing blue robes, they seek the approval of the Muslim rulers.
Accepting bread from the Muslim rulers, they still worship the Puraanas.
They eat the meat of the goats, killed after the Muslim prayers are read over them,
but they do not allow anyone else to enter their kitchen areas.
They draw lines around them, plastering the ground with cow-dung.
The false come and sit within them.
They cry out, "Do not touch our food, or it will be polluted!"
But with their polluted bodies, they commit evil deeds.
With filthy minds, they try to cleanse their mouths.
Says Nanak, meditate on the True Lord.
If you are pure, you will obtain the True Lord. 2

This is a Shabad said by Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji condemning the Goat sacrifice the Brahmins and muslims do. It is sad to say that this shabad also refers to some Sikhs of today who also sacrifice goats in the name of God. In times of war when rations ran out some Sikhs used to hunt to survive or eat any dead animals that they found (desperate times calls for desperate measures). But the killing of animals in Punjab today by some clangs of the Nihang Singhs and others; is just outrageous and not needed for. On vaisakhi they murder a goat in the name of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji and give it out as prashad. This is animal sacrificing an act which the Guru’s condemned.

Stupid Superstitions within Sikh-Punjabi Community

Have you heard a girl saying this to you at school etc?

“I don’t wash my hair on Tuesdays or Thursdays because it will bring my Brother bad luck”


Frontline Response:

Your personal hygiene doesn’t affect your brother’s life in no other way apart from your smelly hair if you don’t wash them. If you wash or not it is only going to effect your own physical cleanness.

I need to tie a black taga (thread) to my new car to protect it from jealous evil eyes.

Frontline Response:

If the colour black protected, the tyres of the car are black and our hair is mostly black; but our head still gets injured and tyres get damaged. How is a taga going to stop anyone from scratching you car? The night brings blackness; but thats the time most cars get stolen!




I don’t eat meat on Thursdays it is bad luck!

Frontline response:

So eating meat on all the other days is good luck yeah? (laughter) Eating meat is a Sin it's bad luck everyday!

The Akal Thakt Jathedar betrays the Sikh Nation

Hindu Infiltration of Sikh Institutions at the Highest Levels

SHAMELESS JATHEDARS : Vedanti, Tarlochan Singh and Gurbachan Singh Presented with images of Hindu Deity Ram Chander at a pro-RSS function

Chaman Lal organizes pro-RSS function with chairs in front of Guru Granth Sahib
Vedanti and others attend function, accept gifts depicting Hindu Deities

The people sitting on the Chairs are young and don't need them due to medical or disabilty reasons.

The RSS offshoot known as PRERNA, depicts Sikh Gurus as Hindu Deities
The Prerna organization was created by the RSS with one thing in mind: To blend, muddle and taint Sikh practices and ceremonies into the folds of Brahmanism.
One of the promoters of Prerna is an individual associated with the company MDH (a worldwide spice manufacturer) who is also the key promoter and advertiser of 'Sacchi Sikhsha', the official monthly magazine and the daily 'Saach Kahoon' of the Gurmit Ram Rahim Sacha Sauda Cult.

Too many traitors and skanks in the panth.

How can our Jathedars and Singh Sahibs even attend functions where chairs are placed in front of Guru Granth Sahib Ji? Why did they not protest the placement of Hindu images plastered across the venue?
We have come a long way from the days of Akali Phoola Singh Jee who stood up to the emporer of the Khalsa Raj, Maharaja Ranjit Singh, and ordered him 50 lashes punishment. Now our "Jathedars"--who are such only in name--run around like leashed puppies in the hands of their Hindu masters.
They have forgotten the sacrifices made a century ago, the Sikhs who gave their lives to free Darbar Sahib from Brahman Mahants who put up their idols in the holy shrine. This is the agenda of terrorists like the RSS who know Sikhs would never allow them to take Darbar Sahib and install their idols. Instead, they brainwash Sikhs and whitewash history until the Sikhs themselves install the idols for them!
Jathedars are supposed to represent the Panth, they do not command it, they are servants of the Guru. When a Jathedar no longer serves the Panth or the Guru they are no longer a Jathedar. While these puppets, who were installed by the Government with the support of Hindu supremacists, are called Jathedars in name, they are truly traitors to their position and to the Sikh Panth worldwide.
Wake up! It is time to out these frauds! the Sikh Panth should be run by Sikhs for Sikhs, independent of any government or the interference of another religion pushing its beliefs on us.
We don't need a Jathedar who one day is worshipping at the tomb of a dead Saadh, the next day helps hand out images of Hindu deities under a banner of Ram Chander and the next is busy at the feet of the Chief Minister.

DTF exposed!

The frontline Punjabi youth sent a Muslim lad to DTF as part of a sting operation; and without any security checks he was able to buy a Kara and a Khanda set of gloves.







This is dangerous as easy access of these items helps Islamic extremists deceive Sikh Girls into their dirty traps. They will wait outside clubs, pubs and cinemas in their cars with these symbols. They will also have bhangra music blurring; representing themselves as sikhs. From there all its takes is an exchange of numbers, lift or a few minutes of sweet speech and our girls are hooked like a fish. Thinking that they have found their dream Sikh husband; but in reality it is a fraudster in disguise. Prevention is better than cure.

Please contact them and ask them to ask for a picture I.D (bus pass, license, passport) before they sell Sikh artefact's to a non-practicing Sikh. Act now before someone you know becomes a victim of this deception.

Community welfare should be everyones duty

786 khilafa meeting speech

The Frontline Punjabi Youth managed to get a recorded copy of this speech that took place in a mosque on 27/12/2007

It is with great expectations that we have made the decision to approach a person who has actively taken the step towards heaven by converting a heathen to the chosen faith.

We join together to applaud you and the great mother who has given birth to one who has brought a Sikh girl into our faith. Through her we can see a strike being made against a religion which has been a thorn in the side of Islam for over 500 years. We would have converted the whole of India to Islam if these kaffir Sikhs had not been born. The Khilafa would have spread all over Asia by now.

But you have been chosen! You will have access to all the maidens when you go to heaven including your present one if you wish. For you have done the ultimate action of converting a heathen!

You have a duty not to stop at one!

Islam allows you four! Why have you stopped at one! Where are the other Three! You should use you style and gift to get more Sikh Kaffir girls for yourself! The Sikh girls are usually slags and usually stupid enough to believe anything you say. You should try and convince your present girlfriend to give you leads. Because that is how the Kaffir should be used! Don’t ever let her think that she can rule your heart; that is not her place! She is in your clutches; USE HER! Tell her that she will also join you in heaven if she only agrees to share you.

If you don’t do this you will show your attachment to her and not to the true deen! The messenger (SWA) and Allah (SWT) and Islam expect you to serve! DO IT! If she objects you don’t have to stick to her, for she is expandable! It is your duty to hunt for more! Go and do it! This is the way forward to ultimate destruction for the Sikhs and the establishment of the Khilafa, where Islam will give us all that we pray for!

We are with you and will help you in anyway.

May Allah and his messenger be with you!

Sikh Council of Gurdwaras Birmingham Betray the Sikhs

It is well known that only people that believe in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee as the living Guru are Sikhs. Namdharis who are a cult which openly call Guru Ji a book and believe in a human Guru are allowed to have stalls in the Handsworth park mela. On one hand they diss the Sikh Guru and on the other hand they make money out of us. Pritams sweet centre (Namdahri Business) probably make more money on that one day then they do all year round from the sangat. But these are the same people that tell us our father is not our father, so indirectly calling us bastards. Where is our Honour?

The Nazi regime of India has attacked our temples, people, religion and identity for years. They have killed and imprisoned thousands of innocent Sikh civilians. They oppress our people and deny us our human rights, yet in these melas we openly allow the sale of India flags and India T-shirts. Where is out honour? At smethwick mela some clowns dressed up as the Punjab police which hurt Sikh sentiments; because of the crimes commited on the Sikh Nation by the Punjab police in the 1980's to 1990's (Fake police encounters, torture, false confessions, rape and murder)

Last year at both smethick and handsworth melas innocent bystanders were attacked and injured with serious injuries. At smethick 8 youth from a local Muslim gang attacked women, elderly and children. Did the Sikh council provide support or compensation? At handsworth young bystanders were injured in the massive sword fight; were them victims given any support?

At handsworth mela last year bystanders who were only defending themselves against the rampage that occurred were arrested and hit with police batons; was there any compensation to the victims of police brutality?

At handsworth mela, the gang called Aston panthers come in with their dogs and intimidate and humiliate the sangat. They make sexual advances to our sisters and mothers infront of their male-counter parts and make a mockery of the Singhs. Why aren’t tickets sold to allow entrance into the mela?

A year on and no apologies or statements have been made by the Sikh Council of Gurdwaras in Birmingham. We spend 80 thousand pound and what do we have to show apart from disrespect and humiliation. If you want to have a mela, Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee should not be present and a more responsible approach is needed. Tickets for entrance should be sold in Gurdwaras etc

We ask all the Sikh Sangat to boycott the Mela until the Sikh Council have agreed not to take Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji to the Park. All organisations really need to think twice before they partake in any Seva; because is it really seva that they are doing if disrespect is the outcome?

A refection on beadbi at handsworth mela

S.I.K.H.

Spiritual Inquiry with Khanda & Heart

TIME FOR CHANGE

Handsworth Mela – dishonour, behzti – is this the state of Sikhi???

“Jin Bhe adab na baani dhara, jano so sikh nehi hamara”

“He who has no fear or respect of Gurbani, know that he is not my Sikh.”

(Extract from Sikh Rehatnama)

BEADBI (intentional and unintentional disrespect) of Maharaaj Guru Granth Sahib jee is something that as Sikhs we cannot, and will not tolerate. Currently there is general unrest in the Sikh youth as more importance has been placed on this issue from Sikhs worldwide over recent years.

We don’t take Guru Maharaaj into halls, hotels, pubs and clubs because of our love and respect for Guru ji, but then why do we take maharaaj into a park; where we have no control over the code of conduct in the parks boundaries. Where ever Guru Ji is present on thakt the atmosphere of the boundaries should be the same as a Gurdwara. The same behaviour and activities should be going on as a Gurdwara. Does this happen in the Handsworth Mela?

Even maharaaj Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s horse would not enter a field where tobacco was planted. Yet we annually take saroop’s of Maharaaj Guru Granth Sahib Ji in to an environment where tobacco stubs litter the ground and where people enter under the intoxication of various substances, be it unintentionally, this is something that must be evaluated and changed as there is continued discontent in the Sikh youth.

Do you think it is acceptable to take Maharaaj into areas with rave type atmospheres, loud and noisy music, rides, with inappropriate social interaction, with a non-existent dress code, where people smoke and drink? The problem lies not with the mela in principle but whether or not we are showing true respect for Guru jee. This isn’t even taking into account the recent bad publicity we have received from last years detrimental shenanigans with the “Sikh on Sikh” violence. Just type “vaisakhi mela” and “BBC” into www.youtube.com and see the negative social profiling of Sikhs in the media coverage as well as the camera phone videos of bhangra and Punjabi gang/thug/yob culture. Then think and decide for yourself… Are these really Sikh values? Are we moving forwards? If so towards what? Why are we continually causing confusion between religion and culture?

What is the point of a darbar in Boundaries were corrupt activities are taking place. This is total disrespect to Guru Ji and it is time for the sangat to wake up.

“If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything”

“Do nothing then nothing changes”

“Prevention is better then cures”

With older generations of the Sikh community currently questioning the purpose and actual parchar of a mela, we are merely suggesting careful planning so as the youth and older community members can work together to try to avoid the disrespect and BEADBI that is prevalent in the “Vaisakhi” mela as it is. Please sign up on the petition via the website below to express your concerns towards organizers. Feel free to make comments in an appropriate and civilized manner. Many Thanks…

How melas disrespect Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji?

The R4G used to protest against the taking of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji to hotels and bars etc because it was a great disrespect. But Sikh organizations organize these melas; what is the difference between a mela and a hotel?

People smoke in the park.
People sneak in the drink.
People come to the funfair in the mela buzzing.
The people who set up the fun fair are buzzing and always smoke (ignoring the signs).
Islamic extremists wear Karas and target venerable Sikh girls.
Guys and girls are kissing and messing about. The dress sense is outrageous!
Fights break out over stupid things.
It is bhezti and takes the piss out of our community.
These melas bring shame and dishonour to the Sikh people.

All this in the presence of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji! What to we gain apart from wasting money which got be used for other causes.

Why just don’t they do a Nagar kirtan without the mela? Even if you want to have a Mela why have Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji in the park; were all these activities go on, it is a great disrespect! People that want to listen to Gurbani and kirtan will go back to Gurdwara. The people that just want to mess about will go to the mela. Why mix the two, last year innocent people got stabbed (at handsworth mela); have we still not learned?

The Kara is being used by our enemies!

The Kara is a symbol of Sikh identity; it is of great importance to the practising and even non-practising Sikhs. However they are so readily available in markets and other high street stores that the Kara has become a weapon for the enemies of Sikhs. Non Sikhs are buying them and using them as weapons to beat up Sikhs or deceive Sikh girls. They put on a Kara and use Sikh names in order to date Sikh girls who only date Sikh boys (we are not glorifying dating just mentioning a reality). This in turn can lead to other crimes; such as blackmail and rape upon these innocent victims of deception. There are predator cells of Islamic extremists that prey on Sikh girls and device them luring them into their vicious traps. These traps are made so much easier by the easy availability of the Kara. How stupid can the Sikh nation get, by providing a Sikh symbol as an effective tool to our enemies.

I think we should all concentrate on this issue, either high street shops ask for picture I.D or they stop selling Karas. It is up to the youth to tackle this issue, if you see this happen in your town, approach the shop keeper and tell them your concerns and ask them to stop selling them or tell them to ask for I.D. All internet shops should only sell Karas to payments recieved by Sikh Debit/credit cards.

Prevention is better than cure.
Don nothing then nothing changes.
