    Lucky got a reaction from GurjantGnostic in Should you take the vaccine?   
    Well done.  I'm not a fan of conventional/western medicine and I was also reluctant to get the vaccine.  However, after careful contemplation and studying, I'd say that the benefits outweigh the risks. 
    I've had both pfizer doses and realized that even though i wasn't too fussed about my own protection, it's for the protection of others that matters more to me.

    Why should we not? Have you not had childhood immunisationn? Covid vaccine works on the same principle. Pfizer extracted mRNA of protein spike on the covid virus, that protein is enclosed in oily nanoparticles in the vaccine (if covid protein is directly injected then our body would destroy it instead of making copies of the protein). All this is preparing our immune system to produce antibodies to fight off the actual covid infection in case it happens in coming future. 
    Pfizer vaccine is very well established now, there is more than enough data to prove its efficacy and safety. There are always medicine related side-effects and adverse reactions, these happen even with basic meds like paracetamol or ibuprofen tablets.  It does not mean that we should not take it. Benefits has clearly outweighed any associated risk. I have seen patient who has developed blood clot after vaccine, but just imagine what would have happened if he actually had covid.   He is on anti-coagulant medicine now, benefit is that he has antibodies in his bodies and already taking medicine.  Covid cause blood clots which lead to strokes and heart attacks etc. and there is a mounting evidence behind it. 
    Please go for pfizer vaccine, its safe and effective.

    One no longer reincarnates by compulsion in ignorance. Those that wish to return for Seva do so, but they are no longer part of the birth and death lifecycle. They do not lose their knowledge or connection with Akal and they are not born in ignorance when they choose to take a body.

    You don't.   Love can never be developed, so don't ever fool yourself into just thinking about what love is.
    The only way the real prem will sprout, is when you sit down and jap Nirankar's name with absolutely NO conditions.....Just sacrifice and offer yourself to him "tera, tera, tera ..."  ... you have to make efforts and changes to do this. After that, it becomes effortless and God will let you know.

    I've attached a pdf that will be an eye-opener for some of you. It's written by a sikh who was part of a vigilante gang in UK but he'd also witnessed a number of pious sikh groups that disguised  disgusting  behaviour of some individuals.
    There are some very deep truths in there and a number of them; I knew or had heard of when I lived there over 10 years ago.

    Anyone see a pattern? ^^^^
     
    Girl, 12, went to police station to report sexual assault - but officers sent her away with OTHER abusers who went on to rape her 15 times
    The incident happened in October 2007 when the victim, now 27, was subjected to more than 20 assaults by eight men in one night, including 15 rapes  Just one attacker,  Shakil Chowdhury, now 54, was caught and jailed for six years Greater Manchester Police failed to produce 'forensic strategy', returned evidence to Chowdhury and destroyed 24 items of evidence, investigation found Victim was also subjected to grooming by teacher Paul Waites, now 48, despite telling social workers who claimed she was 'very attention seeking' Victim case to be examined in probe into child sexual exploitation in Oldham  
     
    A woman has detailed her experience after she put her trust into the hands of police after a sex attack, but was handed to predators who inflicted more abuse at the age of just 12. 
    The young girl was sent away by a desk clerk who told her to accept a lift home with two men who were at the police station over motoring issues. 
    It was just the beginning for the young girl, who suffered more than 20 assaults by eight men in one night, including 15 rapes.
     
    Now 27, the woman continues to fight for answers, writes the Sunday Mirror. 
    Just one attacker was caught but 15 years on, and the victim has not received justice, after the Independent Office for Police Conduct found a string of failings, yet failed to launch disciplinary action against any officers. 
    The case is now part of an independent probe into child sexual exploitation - but only after the victim insisted that it be included. 
    Talking to the Sunday Mirror, the victim said:  'It's derailed my life. It's always there, even when I try to move on.
    'No child should have to go through what I did. I'm speaking out to protect others. The trauma never goes away. I've still got PTSD. I don't want this to happen to anyone else.' 
    The incident happened on October 27, 2006, when she attended Oldham Police Station in Manchester to report being molested. 
    A man had sexually assaulted her while she drank cider in a churchyard. 
    But, she said the clerk dismissed her as a timewaster, and urged her to leave with two men who offered her a lift.   
    'The clerk said, 'They've offered you a lift, go with them'. The men were being asked to produce licences for driving offences.
    'I don't know how they haven't been identified. There must have been logs.'
    She says the men then took her to a car and sexually assaulted her.
    She was then driven to the home of a man in his 40s who she says also sexually assaulted her before giving her money to get a bus home. 
    She was picked up on the next street by Shakil Chowdhury, now 54, who was posing as a taxi driver and promised to help her. 
    But he and another man in the passenger seat drove to Chowdhury's house, where three more men appeared. 
    She says she was raped 15 times by the five men, before being bundled into a car and abandoned the next month. 
    The girl's parents were at home when she returned, having called police the previous evening. 
    But, officers took four hours to respond.
    She was then examined, and her injuries were deemed consistent with being raped, and underwent days of video interviews with police. 
    She also told police about the attack in the churchyard, but it was not treated as a crime. A senior detective later said this was 'entirely proportionate.'

    Shakil Chowdhury (pictured) was jailed for six years after admitting to six rapes 
    A report into the decision to return evidence to the perpetrator also revealed that 24 items of evidence had been destroyed in 2008.  
    'The decision to release certain items of property seems to exclude the possibility that the items may be of forensic relevance to the other unidentified suspects,' the report read. 
    'The bedding and towel had not been submitted for forensic examination, however, they were returned. 
    'Clearly, items had been disposed of, and had they been retained from the original inquiry, then it may or may not have led to us identifying people or eliminating them.'
    When Operation Solent failed to lead to fresh charges, the victim asked GMP to review the original case. 
    She says she was 'failed by the system' - and not for the first time. 
    Prior to the incident in October 2007, she was groomed and abused by a teacher who befriended her online. 
    Paul Waites, now 48, lured her to a Sainsbury's car park after the pair spoke online, and then raped and assaulted her over the course of the summer of 2006.

    Paul Waites (pictured) was jailed for a further 11 years after the victim reported him to police, to find he had been jailed in 2009 for assaults on other children. Last year, he received a life sentence for raping another victim in Leeds in 2005.
     
    It was only in 2013 that she felt able to report Waites to police, only to find he had been jailed in 2009 for assaults on other children. 
    He admitted raping and abusing the victim in 2015, and was jailed for a further 11 years.  Last year, he received a life sentence for raping another victim in Leeds in 2005. 
    The woman now searching for answers has since made an official request to access her files, including a report written by a sexual health worker when she was 12, after she claimed a social work she she was 'trying to shock her' when she disclosed the online grooming and abuse to her. 
    It read: 'She is now on her third sexual partner. She has made an informed choice to remain SA [sexually active]. She has a mature attitude and looks older than her age.'
    Despite her age, notes added there was 'no indication of abuse', and an outreach worker added: 'I feel [victim] is very attention seeking and tries to get a response from me.'
     
    In 2018, Greater Manchester Police upheld two of the girl's complaints, ruling that her case should not have been closed after Chowdhury's conviction, and that officers should not have taken four hours to respond when she was reported missing in October 2007. 
    When Greater Manchester Police failed to sanction any officers, she contacted police watchdog, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), which ruled a further four complaints should have been upheld including a complaint referring to how the victim was treated at Oldham Police station in October 2007. 
    But the IOPC ruled it could take no further action as the clerk could not be identified. 
    The IOPC also said that aspects of evidence retrieval were flawed and that potentially relevant evidence was destroyed, and that greater care should have been taken with notebooks, which have subsequently been lost.     
    One officer was advised to receive further training.  
    The victim could now have grounds to sue the police under the Data Protection Act.  
    Her case will now be examined in the independent probe into child sexual exploitation in Oldham, which will examine claims that agencies were aware of ongoing abuse but 'failed to respond appropriately to safeguard children and subsequently covered up these failings'.
    Between 2006 and 2020, Oldham social services had referrals warning 700 children faced a potential risk of sex abuse. 
    The victim said: 'No one tried to stop me from meeting him. I thought he was my boyfriend. It made me feel like it was normal.
    Gerard Jones, managing director for children and young people at Oldham council, said: 'There were times when vulnerable people did not receive help they should expect and deserve.
    'Things have improved significantly in recent years. We were, and are, determined not to shy away from issues, but to gain fresh, honest and independent insight, and learn lessons.' 
    Greater Manchester Police said £2.3m has been invested in a new child sexual exploitation investigations unit. 
    'Victims of child sexual abuse and exploitation will be listened to, taken seriously, treated with empathy and supported,' a spokesperson said. 
    'Whilst we cannot comment on the specifics of this case and what was clearly a terrible ordeal for the victim, extensive investigations and reviews were carried out. No case for misconduct was found and all further lines of inquiry investigated. No further suspects were identified.'
    An IOPC spokesman added: 'While we agreed with the force that no officer had a case to answer for misconduct or gross misconduct, we were not satisfied that appropriate findings were made in relation to some of the allegations. 
    'In upholding some of the appeal, we considered a detective constable should receive management action over record keeping and evidence preservation to learn and reflect on their actions.'
    'I wanted to find out why this had happened. I knew I'd been failed, but I was totally shocked by just how badly I'd been let down.'

    Giving this a post summer boost ...
     
    My name is Dr Jasjit Singh, Associate Professor at the University of Leeds.
    I have recently put together an online survey to examine how Sikhs engage
    with Sikhi online. This survey is based on a similar survey which I ran as
    part of my PhD (you can find a post about that on here!).
     
    I am now re-running the survey to see what has changed over the past 10
    years, focusing on digital innovations and on the online space. Anyone who
    self identifies as 'Sikh' is welcome to respond. The survey link is here:
     
    https://leeds.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/sikhsurvey
     
    I am looking for responses from Sikh living anywhere of any age. Please
    feel free to disseminate to any relevant contacts.
     
    Many thanks,
     
    Jasjit.

    Conceptualize everything in terms of "energy". Even mental energy that you use for thoughts.
    If you are using too much thought energy towards lust, then you need to started redirecting that same energy towards other better thoughts.
    BTW, it is not really correct to assume that only "high avastha person has conquered lust",,, because out ofall the 5 dhuts. Lust is the one that takes so many hidden form in your own energies. This 'lower down energy'(below navel) is the  ONLY one that can be transformed into a substantial amount of divine energy,...this is what shall help to go towards Higher avastha.   Higher avastha doesn't come first and then kaam vanishes, kaam has to be stamped on in order to get to higher avastha.  It's important to understand this, especially about conserving this energy.
    Kaam is a huge hindrance for any spiritual progress.  I disagree that you should distract yourself or avoid situations such as avoiding places where opposite sex may be or using cop-out excuses to avoid temptation. Because you are just SUPPRESSING the same energy, which usually ends up manifesting into frustration, anxiety, anger, disease or any other negative trait. Instead, when it occurs, like say a physical arising or itch down below, then you should DIVERT your THOUGHTS towards Akaal. You should try and pump navel, do saas saas and make/feel the energy rise upwards towards your hirda.  You should embrace this human instinct/behavior by NOT letting maya control your thoughts, but taking charge yourself and directing them towards physical. it's as if the universe just lumps a ton of energy on you with you making any effort. Pick up and use this load of energy wisely.
