In India there are lots of doctors of ayurveda and even Muslim doctors who practice unani medicine.
Have puratan sampradas created any medical Vidyalas to train doctors? How many of these Vidyalas exist?
Also, what organizations does your relative believe are doing the best sewa and helping the community?

Thats a really positive move as it helped improve the image of the Sikh religion. I say money daswand should be spent on medication, operations,school education fees etc
Everything listed is the social aspect, which we need to do more.
But also the spirtual aspect should also be included naam simran samagams, funding raag kirtan Vidyalas, Gurmat universities, gatka/saster vidya. Mass distribution of Gurmat literature to other states. Funding those who want to be ragi, dhadi, granthi and parcharak. Expanding existing Gurmat Vidyalas and making new ones.

No, because they are mainly catering to already 'converted' pendus.
How are western institutions able to completely 'convert' our pendus to their way of thinking but our puratan samprada weren't able to do the same to the billion people in bharat?

Role of Christian missionaries in the colonization of East Africa
(1). Missionaries signed treaties which were later used by colonialists to take over colonies e.g. Tucker, a British Missionary interpreted the 1900 Buganda Agreement to the regents of Kabaka Daudi Chwa II. This led to loss of political, economic and social powers to the British protectorate government. Sir Harry John stone who signed on behalf of the British government confessed that;
“I John stone shall be bound to acknowledge the assistance offered to me by the missionaries especially the CMS. Without their assistance on my side, I do not think Uganda’s chiefs would agree to the treaty which practically places their country and land in the British hands”.
(From partition of Africa by Prof Sempebwa).
(2). Missionaries supplied information to the colonialists which they utilized to plan how to effectively impose their colonial rule on how to crash the African resistance. In the religious wars in Buganda, the British fought behind the Protestants. Colonel Saddler a British commander once said;
“The CMS was the first in the field …. Its connection with the political history of early days, the difficulties, it successfully surpassed and the assistance it rendered to the colonial government at the time of the rebellions are too well known to need recapitulation. There has been complete accord between the colonial government and Christian missionaries and in no single instance has there been a friction of any kind. I would wish to thank them for willing fully placing at my disposal a fund of information they have regarding the country and its people”.
(3). In fact, there was a reciprocal relationship between missionaries and the colonialists that is why missionaries laid the groundwork before the partitioners offered missionaries protection for the success of their evangelization mission. It’s here that the words of Reverend Willis are pertinent;
“We as missionaries are indebted to the presence of the colonial government in this country and we would not forget when we reckon upon the triumph of the cross in Uganda. In how large a measure, these victories have been paved for us by others in the colonial government with its officers around us. We owe a peaceful country”.
(4). The Church missionary society managed to raise enough funds for Imperial British East African Company for its staying in Uganda for at least 2 or more years. The church missionary society and Captain Lugard viewed that the company’s withdraw would leave the British and the protestant party in a dangerous position versus Moslems.
(5). Missionaries enhanced the growth of tropical raw materials like coffee, cotton to satisfy the British industrialists urge but disguising everything in Christianity. Bishop K. Boroup, for example, introduced cotton in Uganda.
(6). They appealed to their home governments for protection in case of attack. It is in this light that Britain came to Uganda during the religious wars of 1884-1892 and later occupied Uganda.
(7). They created a collaborating class (educated fools) by luring it religiously and materially. This class helped colonialists to fight resistors despite the fact that they were all Africans.
(8). In their evangelization role, they brainwashed Africans with biblical teachings as “love your neighbor as you love yourself”, “blessed are the humble for the kingdom of God is theirs”, etc. With these preaching’s they made potential resistance unimportant.
(9). Religion was a mechanism of divide and rule. The converts and the non-converts hated each other which caused division to the advantage of the Europeans.
(10). Collaboration with chattered companies, European Christian missionaries and their converts worked hand in hand with the Imperial British East African Company to defeat Kabalega’s resistance.
(11). Missionary stations served as military bases from where the European colonial forces launched attacks on the resisting Africans. African Lugard used old kampala hill as a military base against Kabalega.
(12). Mission stations served as colonial government headquarters. The established mission infrastructure was used to help in the establishment and sustenance of European colonial rule.
(13). Colonialists lacked skilled manpower, so the missionaries by design or accident were very faithful servants of the colonial government i.e. they were Colonial government servants.
(14). They created a peaceful atmosphere for the germination of colonialism in areas of hostility. This is because they emphasized the centralized leadership where peace and obedience were expected.
(15). Missionaries also trained manpower through the introduction of farming education which was used by colonialists to exploit the land. This was done by teaching those academic subjects and manual skills like the use of a plough and how to grow coffee.
(16). They acted as interpreters to colonial powers e.g. Tucker in the 1900 Buganda agreement.
(17). Through the conversion of the Buganda chiefs and bible pages before Buganda commoners, it meant that each party i.e. the Church Missionary Society and France had gained converts. This was a political security of sympathy to the Christian missionaries as against the Kabaka in Buganda’s leadership. This indirectly undermined the Kabaka’s authority and respect i.e. his traditional power base was being eroded.

Found this online from an auction in Shropshire. Want to try and decipher the text. Any help breaking up the words and translating would be appreciated:
Did you purchase the manuscript? If not maybe a local gurdwara should be made aware of this and they can purchase it? Or else this will be another lose for the panth.

Respected Veer,
According to my understanding, Gurbani mentions only 2 types of humans: Gurmukhs and manmukhs.
Gurmukh women are great.
Manmukh women can be deceptive and hv been used by rulers to spy on their enemy states.
Chanakya slanders all women and paints all women with the same brush by saying they are 8 times more lusty than men etc.

Came across this article
Trishna
Desires, the main one being the desire to amass wealth and worldly comforts and material goods. Desires are the most difficult thing to win over in order to become desireless. Desiring is a continuous process and never ends. One after another desires keep on coming in a never ending stream. They keep on prompting us to do fair and unfair things in order to fulfill them. There is only one way to eliminate desires and that is to go into a state of Santokh, divine contentment.ਬਿਨਾ ਸੰਤੋਖ ਨਹੀ ਕੋਊ ਰਾਜੈ ॥
Without contentment, no one is satisfied.
279Santokh comes only with Naam Simran, Naam Ki Kamai and Bandgi. Desires are the root cause of all of the problems and will never let our mind go into the mode of peace and contentment. So please stay focused on Naam Simran, because only Waheguru can bring peace to our mind and give us Brahamgian. This is the only way we can win over our own mind. Winning over the mind is winning over Maya. Winning over Maya is winning over Panj Doots and desires. . The Panj Doots and desires are the highest level of mental sicknesses.
“Jo Jo Disey So So Rogi. Rog Rehat Mera Satgur Jogi.”
People ask if we give up desires how can we get anything? The answer is that when we give up everything to Him, then He takes good care of us. Infact, a stage comes when all of our desires vanish and then He will continue to give us an excellent life and everything we need. Everything happens according to the divine law of His Hukam and our Karni. Our destiny is carved based on our Karni according to the mandatory law of the Karma. So whatever we sow so shall we reap. If we sow truthful deeds then our future will obviously be bright and shining. And same way if we sow untruthful deeds then our future will be full of sorrows and pains. So whenever sorrows and pains come in life that means that we must have done something real stupid at some point of time in space that is why we have to see hardships, pains and sorrows. If we do have a desire for anything though, please desire only for Naam Simran, just like the Sants who are always and forever absorbed in Waheguru Simran.
ਤ੍ਰਿਸਨਾ ਬੁਝੈ ਹਰਿ ਕੈ ਨਾਮਿ ॥
Desire is quenched, through the Lord's Name. 682

Came across this from Suraj Parkash granth. It's the narration of the first Amrit Sanchar and the bani that was read.
ਸ੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਤਾਪ ਸੂਰਜ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ (ਰੁਤਿ ੩)
ਜਪੁਜੀ ਪਾਠ ਪ੍ਰਥਮ ਕਰਿ ਲੀਨਾ।
ਬਹੁਰ ਸੈਯੇ ਪਢਿਬੋ ਕੀਨਾ ॥੧੫॥
ਪੌੜੀ ਪੰਚ ਅਨਦ ਪਢੋ ਹੈ।
ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਮੈਣ ਬਹੁ ਤੇਜ ਬਢੋ ਹੈ।
