    'It Talks About Power Of Universalism And Liberalism': Kapil Dev On His Book 'We The Sikhs'
    Legendary cricketer Kapil Dev's book 'We The Sikhs' features pictures and paintings of 100 gurdwaras across the globe; and is divided into three sections- the Gurus, the history and artefacts and the gurudwaras

    “I love the Sikh way of life. I think Sikhism is such a great religion,” says legendary cricketer Kapil Dev who came out with his new book ‘We The Sikhs’, along with entrepreneur Ajay Sethi. The book talks about how Sikh religion has a unique identity among world religions. It features pictures and paintings of 100 gurdwaras across the globe; and is divided into three sections- the Gurus, the history and artefacts and the gurudwaras. Excerpts
    What made you write 'We The Sikhs?'
    A: One day when I was travelling from Chandigarh to Delhi, I dropped off to sleep, and when I woke up, this thought (of writing a book on Sikhism) had taken its seed in my mind. It was almost like a voice asking me to come out with this book. The passion to turn this dream into a reality then took over.
    How long did it take for you to finish the book?
    It took almost five years. Two years went into planning how ‘We The Sikhs’ will happen, who all will collaborate, how will research be done. Many friends, including Ajay Sethi, helped. All put together, it took more than two years to develop and another two and a half years to produce the book. So, the entire process of coming up with the book took almost five years.
    Why did you choose this topic?
    I love the Sikh way of life. I think Sikhism is a great religion. I am not saying other religions are lacking in any manner, but this religion is the need of the hour in today’s world when you need peace, you need people to help each other, to share love and above all be selfless. This is what drew me to it, and I thought there is a need to pass on this wonderful message to the entire world and especially to the next generation. The book talks about how the Sikhs believe in one God and the power of universalism and liberalism. Writing this book made me understand Sikhism better.
    Is there any special incident or childhood memory that is related to the book?
     
    Well, my childhood days were spent in Chandigarh. We grew up with a large number of friends around us. Those were the good old days when we didn’t want much from life. I remember we used to go to gurdwaras to eat prashad or kadha. Going to Langar to eat would be a fun ritual. Those were such fond memories which nothing materialistic in life can match up to.
    How has been the response from people in India and abroad?
    It’s wonderful. It has been great meeting people, the Sikh community all over the world. What they say is so true -- ‘A Sardar is a Zinda-dil’. They love food, they love life and they are truly hospitable and full of warmth. Beyond India, we met people in America, Canada and around the world. The book’s reception has been amazing everywhere we I went.
    Will you continue to travel around the world?
    My plan is to go around the world from Fiji to Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Africa, Europe and the Gulf, then go to America and Canada. A lot of my Sikh brothers are there throughout the world and I want to travel and meet as many as I can, taking ‘We The Sikhs’ to them and all the people world over.

    We should not judge Mahapurakhs/Saints by their outer Rehit. Rules and restrictions don't apply to them. Ordinary Sikhs have to follow the code of conduct.
    Some more facts:
    Some Mahapurakhs wear ladies clothes Some Mahapurakhs wear very less clothes Some Mahapurakhs remain naked

    *Found Sachi sadh sangat, mainly focusing on NAAM SIMRAN. 
    *I have never felt lighter and better
    * Previously I wanted to have friends but now I want to connect with WAHEGURU

    There are specific Jaaps, which can be done to find a job. Please have a look below.
    Looking for a Job - worth trying this too - General Discussion - SikhAwareness Forum
    IMHO, fixed amount will be better. If you keep a goal in your mind, it will force you to do the Jaap on a daily basis. Try to sit in the same spot, facing the same direction, when doing the Jaap. Do the Jaap, during the same time period, daily for the entire 40 days.

    People smugglers who brought in illegal migrants in car boots jailed
    The men were sentenced to over six years in prison for smuggling seven Indian migrants into the UK.
    From: Home Office Published 14 July 2023     Two British men were sentenced yesterday (13 July 2023) to over six years in prison for smuggling seven Indian migrants – including women and children – into the UK, in the boots of two cars.
    Palvinder Singh Phull, 48, from Hounslow, received three and half years for assisting unlawful immigration. On 8 July 2018, Mr Phull was stopped at the UK border in Dover, and three Indian nationals claiming to be Afghan Sikhs were found in the boot of his hire car.
    His co-accused, Harjit Singh Dhaliwal, 45, from Middlesex, was jailed for three years and two months, also for assisting unlawful immigration. Four days after Mr Phull was arrested, on 12 July 2018, Mr Dhaliwal was stopped at the UK border and four Indian nationals also claiming to be Afghan Sikhs were found hiding in the boot of his car.
    Following an investigation by the Home Office Criminal and Financial Investigations (CFI) unit, the suspects were found to be linked via mobile phone records.
    The sentencing took place at Canterbury Crown Court, where the defendants both pleaded guilty to assisting unlawful immigration.
    Chris Foster, Deputy Director of Criminal and Financial Investigations at the Home Office, said:

    paapiman reacted to dalsingh101 in Nihangs survived on wood charcoal!   
    My nana ji had a worker from Bihar on his aarhaa. I remember him from when I was a kid.
    Anyway, my nana ji was teetotal. Once he told me this: the worker told him how he'd become addicted to afeem (he was a lot smaller than the Panjabis he worked with and the work was heavy).  The opium was wracking his body and he couldn't function without it (couldn't even get up for work without it). He begged nana ji for help. 
    Nana ji told me he had to lock him in a room and made him go cold turkey for a good few days, he said in that time the guy was shrieking and screaming out loud in pain at the withdrawal symptoms. He said he gave him a lot of milk with keeo, and after a few days or like a week, the guy finally overcame the dependency. 
     
    I agree sukha is a lot less harmful than alcohol for Panjabis.

    Great thinking.
    IMHO, you should do it once every week. It takes time to absorb the essence of a Shabad. Rest is up to you. 
    We can also post Kirtan of the Shabad, which you post (in this thread), if you don't mind.
