There is no such 'brotherhood' in the UK

Hello, I've been studying Sikhism for twelve years and already follow not cutting hair and wearing Kara. However, I live in small rural town and there is actually no Sikh temple in my entire state. Additionally, the nearest one in another state is 8 hours away. I am quite low income and can never afford travel. Can I still be a Sikh? Can I baptized myself?

Why are Sikhs surprised. Extreme brotherhood with muslims is now promoted by many sections of Sikhs Muslims in Malerkotla allowed with caps to perform namaz in front of Guru granth sahib. No outrage in community.

Thanks for sharing this. Why do you need to say : "Dass would like to say that I have no hate towards any community or religious faith." We should be more open about who we think are trouble-makers. Are not a lot of Roman Catholic schools in the UK successful?

It is sad and shocking for the community as the school has been created and adheres to the Sikh ethos. However it is not a private independent school but one that is funded by the state but managed independently as an Academy under a Sikh Trust. Only up to 50% of Sikh students are given priority. The other 50% is made up from locals of any other faith so you get others also attending especially because it is a newly built school with modern facilities. Obviously it has given parents of children who attend the school cause for concern especially if the motives of children from other faiths is to try and convert and disrespect Sikhi. A lot of parents who choose to put their children in the school was so their kids would be free from bullying and where the kids could excel in like minded environment. I for one regret sending my son there. Not just because of this incident, but because I don't think a faith school attracts the best teachers and there is a very high turn over of staff at the school. They lack experience of running a school and it's becoming a hub for parents to get jobs when they may not have any experience in working an educational environment. If someone were to ask me if I should send my child there? I would say think it through it through and not just jump on the Sikh bandwagon because yes there are a fair few Sikh children there but is the setup and education really at a high standard? The school is stretched for funding so will make compromises where possible. Primary is Sikh students heavy but in Secondary that it is not the case. As the primary years move up then the position in Secondary will change if parents still choose this to keep their children in the school for secondary. As a parent I'm deeply concerned if my child is getting the best possible education at this school, and would be taking a big gamble if he were to remain. The Ofsted rating of "Needs improvement" speaks for itself. It was rates Outstanding when it first was assessed then Panjabi politics kicked in and there was power struggle and key people were removed. After that there has been a high turnover of head teachers and staff. The KAT trust lost also lost it's secondary school in Slough West London. They just can't afford or attract the best and the good teachers/governors and the ones they do have leave or forced out. I had my reservations when I picked this school for my child, as those gut instincts were right.

Kamalroop Singh has released a translation of the work on the net recently but it is again incomplete. Later this year the full version which has been translated will be out for sale by a Singh who found a complete transcript in Lahore

Thank you for this, much appreciated.

I visited the Gurdwara back in November and the monument where the Guru was shaded by the snake has been changed. The original one above looked better

Wjkk wjkf Sangat Ji. Dass recently heard about the case involving 2 Sikhs at the Atam Academy based in Romford East London. This case is really shocking given that it happened in a Sikh Faith School. Dass would like to say that I have no hate towards any community or religious faith. https://www.instagram.com/sasletstalk/ VID-20240414-WA0013.mp4

"Guru granth jee maaneyo pragat gura ki deh" Guru granth sahib jee, as per hukam of dasve patshah should be regarded as the pragat saroop of the ten gurus. Thus parshaada bhog, kamarkasa karna, prakash is done in v shape saroop which is how one sits cross-legged. Therefore, as per maryada, since dasve patshaah used to adorn shastars and was shastardhaari, there should;d atleast be one shastar with saroop and if there is only one shastar, it has to be a kirpaan. This is the answer I got when I asked some behengems at nanaksar the question. Bhul Chuk Maaf jee Sat Kartar. .

WJKK WJKF Even I struggle a lot with lust and man ki mail and I would like too share some bachans of Baba Nand Singh ji which have really helped me in this fight against such a formidable enemy: 1. Always do ardaas to guru sahib that "Baba ji saada imtihaan na lao asi sada fail haa" translating to Guru jee please don't take my test, I will always fail. Do rehem on me. 2. Once Baba ji was disturbed in his meditation by kaljug who told him that why are you not letting me do my work, this is my yug, I have to put people in maya's grasp and you are propagating naam jaap and amrit chhakna and pushing people away from maya and making me powerless thus in the process, then he said that I would have already put a stop to you if you didn't have the pehra of sukhmani sahib. Then baba ji smiled and thanked him that you yourself informed me of what you are scared of and that's why in nanaksar, sukhmani sahib path is done 24/7. Therefore, always have pehra of sukhmani sahib, it is the pragat bani saroop of satnaam. If not able to do full path, atleast do some astpadis in a day because sukhmani sahib is very beneficial and kaljug is scared of the powerful bani. 3. " kaljug pehla nitnem chudanda hai, je tuhada nitnem pakka hai kaljug tuhada kuch nhi vigad sakda" translating kaljug first makes you leave nitnem, if you are steadfast in your nitnem kaljug cannot do anything to you. Therefore to protect yourself from the powerful grasp of kaljug and 5 vikaars, we shoulf never leave shelter of nitnem which protects us in ways we cannot even imagine. Bhul chuk maaf jee Sat kartar

Nihung Singhs believe Akaal Purakh, Gurbani and Shastars as their Divine-Beloveds. These are the three "Isht Dev" for Nihung Singhs. So if you bow before Akal, in the pressence of Guru Granth Sahib Ji, and Shastar Dev, you are bowing to all three Isht Dev.

Shastar and Guru Granth Sahib Ji are also both bowed to as symbols of Akal as well. Shastar Dev. And we may only bow to God and Guru.

Could we do for the NAAM SIMRAN tarakki of the participants? (Bit mean I know)
