Wadhawa Singh, President, Sikh Temple Sacramento, California: Please note our new e-mail adderess “ We the Sikh Sangat gathered at the Sikh Center, Roseville, USA on [email protected] Saturday November 20, 1999, strongly believe that Sikhs need to have their own calendar and that the new Nanakshahi Calendar with fixed ‘Gurpurabs’ and ‘Sangrands’ meets that need. We request Jathedar Akal The views expressed by the authors are their Takhat Sahib to lift the suspension imposed upon this calendar and we own. Please send the feedback and inputs to: strongly urge the Sharomani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee to take [email protected] steps to implement this calendar, which it already adopted back in 1999 Our Website: sikhbulletin.sadapunjab.com for Sikhs throughout the world.” The Sikh Center Roseville, 201 Berkeley Ave, Roseville, CA. 95678 1 The Sikh Bulletin &gn 534 February 2003 being immoral. Person is Isher Singh Baba and BIRDS OF A FEATHER organization is Nanaksar. Amar Singh cons under the name ‘Nanaksar Thath Isher Darbar’ and he does it under the noses of, themselves morally bankrupt, devotees of Nand Singh, Isher Singh and the lot, with impunity, as if he is challenging them to confront him and see what juicy tales he has to tell about their icons. This bird is very wealthy and powerful with big connections, globally. The gentleman on the left is pathetic Jaginder Singh Vedanti. He, unfortunately for us, is Badal’s handpicked Jathedar of Akal Takhat sahib, third in line to desecrate that ‘most supreme seat of the Sikh Nation’. Sikh Bulletin has written extensively about him. (See SB May, June, Nov.2000; May, June, July, Aug., Oct. 2001; Feb. March, Aug. Sept., Oct. 2002; Jan. 2003). Some say he deserves some applause for his decision to implement the Nanakshahi calendar after five years of its passage and after his silence of three years since taking office. But we think credit really goes to Bibi Jagir Kaur who incurred excommunication at the hands of Jathedar Puran Singh for simply stating what was obvious i.e. the General body of the SGPC had spoken in 1998 and approved its implementation and she is not going to thwart the will of the people. If anything, Jathedar Vedanti should krqUiq psU kI mwns jwiq ] lok pcwrw krY idnu rwiq be asked what he was afraid of the previous three years.

In August 2002 these organizations lead by Man is known by the company he keeps. The Atty.

In the Sept. 2002 SB editorial we had identified on the right, but the lure of Maya was too much for him these organizations and their ‘intellectuals’. We refresh your to resist.

  • Inspirational Stories of Saints by Sikh Unit
    Inspirational Stories of Saints By Sikh Unit Sain Ji's Job was saved by The Great Lord Sain was a poor man who would serve the king in his palace. “Hearing about the glory of Kabeer, Sain also turned to be a disciple of the lord. In the night he would immerse in loving devotion to God and in the morning he would serve at the door of the king. One night some saints came to him and the whole night was spent in singing the praises of God. Sain could not leave company of the saints and consequently did not perform the king’s service the following morning. God himself took the form of Sain (while sain was with the saints) and served the king in such a way that the king was overjoyed. Bidding farewell to the saints, Sain embarrassedly arrived at the palace of the king. From a distance the king called him nearby. He took off his own robes and offered it to Sain. ‘You have overpowered me today’, said the king and his words were heard by all people standing there. God himself manifests the dignity of His devotee” (Gurdas Ji’s Vaar 10:16) With incense, lamps and ghee, I offer this lamp-lit worship service. I am a sacrifice to the Lord of Lakshmi. ||1|| Hail to You, Lord, hail to You! Again and again, hail to You, Lord King, Ruler of all! ||1||Pause|| Sublime is the lamp, and pure is the wick. You are immaculate and pure, O Brilliant Lord of Wealth! ||2|| Raamaanand knows the devotional worship of the Lord.

  • D:\New Books\Ernest Trumpp & Mc
    AUTHOR’S INTRODUCTION O thou that buttest the high mountain, seeking to dislodge it with thy horns, take pity, not on the mountain but on thy head Sheikh Ahmed Al-Aawi: Al-Balagh There is a Buddhist legend narrated by Rumi in one of his famous stories which aptly describes the attitude of some arrogant intellectuals towards Sikhism. Sikhism is for them is an elephant, which a group of blind men touch, and each describes it according to the part of the body his hands had touched; to one the elephant “appeared like a throne, to another like a fan or like a pillar. But none was able to imagine what the whole animal was like. From Dr Ernest Trumpp, a fanatic Christian missionary of nineteenth-century to Dr William Hewat McLeod, a leading light of Batala-Berkley Christian Missionary group of the twentieth-century critics of Sikhism, and from Swami Dayanand leader of Anti-Sikh Arya-Samaj Hindu-cult to a host of turbanned and bearded communists, atheists, agnostics, opportunists, bearing the name “Singh”, there have been a number of spiritually blind, intellectually corrupt, highly conceited writers and scholars who have described Sikhs and Sikh ism in a manner, no ordinary person with even a rudimentary intellectual honesty and historical insight can ever comprehend or describe. Sikhism offers many points of attraction, many subline doctrines of universal interest, many moral and spiritual values for which Sikhs and their faith are admired all over the world. The aesthetic beauty, the poetry and music 2 which forms the backbone of Sikh Scriptures, and the mystical dimensions of the profound spiritual experiences of Sikh Prophets, recorded in their own authentic and canonized sacred works, is a vast field of study for all seekers of Truth and honest exponents of Sikh religion.

CONCLUSION: 13 E. THANKS CONTACTS 13 Introduction During the week of March 14th, more than 450 Sikh temples (gurdwaras), schools, and organizations around the world participated in Sikh Environment Day. March 14th was chosen by the EcoSikh team to mark the day when Sri Guru Har Rai became the seventh Guru of the Sikhs. Guru Har Rai Ji is remembered in the Sikh tradition for his sensitivity to nature and his passion for preserving it. The 7th Guru was instrumental in developing Kiratpur Sahib on the banks of tributary of the Sutlej in Punjab as a town of parks and gardens: he planted flowers and fruit bearing trees all over the area, as well as medicinal herbs and wildlife sanctuaries. According to Sikh history this created a salubrious environment, attracting birds and animals to the town and turning it into an idyllic place to live. In October 2010, with the help of the Norwegian Government, the Alliance of Religions and Conservation (ARC) and the active participation of many Sikh leaders, an organisation called EcoSikh was launched, with one full-time employee in Punjab and one part-time in New York, as well as a number of active and senior volunteers and trustees.

  • Efforts to Revive Sikh Militancy in Punjab
    Efforts to revive Sikh Militancy in Punjab The militancy in Punjab was comprehensively tackled by 1995. While India was greatly relieved by the end of militancy in Punjab, the restoration of normalcy in Punjab had upset the calculations of Pakistan‟s ISI and some western agencies and NGOs engaged in destabilization activities in India. These forces have ever since been making all possible efforts to revive militancy in Punjab by trying to rekindle the dormant feeling of hurt, anger and humiliation among the Sikhs caused by the Operation Blue Star of June 1984 and the anti-Sikh riots in Delhi in the aftermath of Indira Gandhi‟s assassination. It is because of such patronage from the foreign agencies that the Khalistanis who no longer have any base in Punjab, still manage to have some pockets of influence in countries like Canada, the UK, Germany and the USA. The fringe Sikh terror groups which still survive with the support of foreign agencies include the Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF), Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF), Khalistan Commando Force (KCF) and International Sikh Youth Federation (ISYF). One of the most prominent such groups is Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), which is the oldest and most organized group. The Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) The Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) was first formed by Sukhdev Singh Babbar and Talwinder Singh Parmar after the 1978-clashes between a group of Amritdhari Sikhs of Akhand Kirtani Jatha and another group of followers of the Nirankari sect. In the said confrontation, 13 Amritdhari Sikhs were killed. When a criminal case was filed against a Nirankari leader in this regard, he had this case transferred to a court in Haryana, where he was acquitted after one year.
