Vaheguru - thank you for sharing this message that is beautiful - check out these videos to hear more from Bhai Harsimranjit Singh - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e5tnl5N-ydm1eJ8.htmlfeature=shared and his weekly series Kalgidhar Chamatkar - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sM5_ntpk0dGag3U.htmlfeature=shared

I would say the same, I have felt detached from Sikhi for a while but listening to this speaker has changed my view in just 2 of his videos. He represents chadikala to me the amount of peace and love he demonstrates. Hopefully I can learn more from him from listening to his talks and getting closer to Sikhi.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Together, everything is possible. All you need do is look at how others operate - hindus, jews, muslims, christians. Seems like we the only ones that dont. Where does all that money from gurdwaras go? Is it going back into the community? Is it lifting people out of poverty? What exactly? Is there an executive over looking sangats money / donations? or we think we doing our bit by just dropping dasvandh in to golak? Begins and ends there. Should we not be structuring in sucj a way that % goes to this good cause, another to such and such like khalsa aid! Saving Punjab!Organisatiins that can represent the community, where youngsters can go help / get involved growing the organisation? and furthering 'sarbat da bhala'! Just a suggestion ji, my opinion, no offence intended. Please forgive me if i have said something wrong or made a mistake. 🙏

@@ilovepuneetdajoker it's bigger than small donations, the panth needs multimillionaires and billionaires who come together and use that maya to solve ਪੰਜਾਬ and indias problems, we need leverage to negotiate, just like the puraatan Singhs did and just how Paaji said we should do. The focus should be on each of us to build as much wealth as we can not for ourselves but for the Panth as one unit. Lastly we need to be unified as one, we need to come together as one.

@sherandeputt3158 I would love to write a full in depth reply as there is so much to address but instead going to keep it brief - in hindsight so one thought. Sorry if i come across as devils advocate hard to state it any other way. My opinions are my own. No offence intended or applied. Please forgive me if i upset anyone. I know nothing. My circle of influence is nil. Many would call me a 0 (zero), a nobody. Even that is Vahegurus kirpa. 🙏 Thank you kindly if any one reads my comment / message. There are many millionaires and billionaires in the community internationally across diaspora. If they want to contribute or help it should not necessary all be about dasvandh but this is a choice for them. They could contribute as much or as little as they want. Our jewish brothers and sisters help their own jewish brother and sisters with interest free loans. They see this as charity, sometimes they ask for money back, other times not. They believe 'God' returns that money to you with even more on top. Urge anyone to watch a youtube video called 'In God we Test'. It is brief. It resonated as same concept exists in Sikhi. Firstly we blindly give money/dasvandh to gurdwaras. Golaks are padlocked! Who are they helping? How are they using it? Surely does not all go on langar? Are their accounts freely available / open for public to scrutinise? Do we even know what gurdwaras bring in yearly? Where does it go? Is it being utilised efficiently? Would an executive oversight body help (perhaps professional accountants giving some of their time to do checks and balances? advocated by the panth, sangat of course. Collectively if resources were brought together, regional or on country basis how much could be saved and used for causes to help progress the panth, i.e. used else where. If they refused should we seek to boycott the gurdwaras? Questions for sangat. Businesses could be built from ground up to support people, give jobs. Before we srart helping world are we helping our own community. We talk about being Rajeh, is everyone equal? Have we got a baseline we can use to ensure basic things are met without relying on outside help?, charities?, governments? Do we have a central location (web based) which we can refer to, to find a charity/organisation within the community, listing things like job opportunities, the work they carry out etc? Do we have forums or platforms we have complete control over so they are not censored? Jews, muslims, christians have them. Small donations add up to millions and possibly billions across the world. Never knock small amounts. Big donors would show themselves if they knew there was a good cause to contribute/assist with or they get a return on investment, e.g. 10%, 20%. After which point their involvement could come to an end to ensure it is not their to be on service of someones income, lifelong return! You can't expect millionaires/billionaires to sit around a table to solve any problems. Why would they? Do we need people who thrive in business environment (about self) to be involved in charitable work (selfless)? They may not want to. Many people have good intentions but colour of money can change intentions/views they once had. Of course know how, lmowledge is invaluable, if they offered such a service would surely be beneficial to have their input. Besides do we even have strategies, plans on what needs doing and how it will be done? Its like if you were looking for an investor it doesn't happen by just having a verbal conversation. Is it not based on a plan comprising documents, business plans, projections etc etc? They can form binding agreements upon which investment, loans are based on. Gurdwaras make hundreds of thousands if not millions yearly. Yet they expanding them/doing more building work. Yet its locked to community most of the time! Not all but some are like this from experience. How does it differ for Muslims, jews, christians? Why? In my opinion it should be a place for community to flurish, get together. Sikhs perhaps meet up at a function, rainsabai - until the next event. How much other interaction? Until you can call a place home and stand on your own two feet (Punjab) you have to work and live by how the rest of world does. Need your own platform (internet based as well as not for profit organisations that are run by professionals or community for the community. Society, powers that be paint the picture of the individual, using movies as an example- just see "Wall Street", "Wolf of Wall Street". They sell it as a dog eat dog world! You got to do it for yourself. About self. The masses live by it. Fill your own pockets, forsake others. All about self. They do not promote charity, selfless service. Theres always constant drama going on - some bollywood stars got married, some hollywood stars been divorced, someones gone viral for being abusive, women are this, men are that! Whether by someones design or just way it is - it keeps your attention on stuff that is irrelevant, some rubbish or another. All you need is watch news and it instills distrust and fear on top of keeping your attention on something irrelevant. Like a slight of hand trick by a magician. You look one way while you miss what is really going on. This affects all humans on a conscious level. Theres people that know but masses are ignorant thinking it is a conspiracy or they just not interested. Most just practical and busy with what they call life. Each person thinks his views are more valid then the next. We all busy fighting each other. We try enrich ourselves, justify it by saying for our kids so they want for nothing. Keep you in perpetual cycle of work, eat, sleep, repeat. Very natural thing to do. This is limiting humankind in a deep, profound way. Look at particular indian media! Its to keep you constantly on edge. Not knowing whats happening, fear of not getting visa and so on. They provoke community for responses and answers to questions we just give back without thinking how it fits/feeds into their long term strategy. You see it once and then another media outlet with several more stories. Constantly being bashed by same thing. Hear it enough, one ends up believing it.psychology trick. They attempting to sell narrative to world but many Sikhs fall for it as well. Some Sikhs keep saying we should be asking for all of India, seriously with way it is? All one need do is reminder them about 1984, mob mentality. With current government and the vice like grip unlikely you could even raise a sikh flag anywhere, even Punjab dodgy. Many shills everywhere. Yet we do have the right to self determination. They cannot stop you from claiming Punjab (Panjab). This can be done peacefully. Needs everyone to show unity without fear. Stand together. Once this can be done the game is over for them. How many realise/know this? When one loves Sikhi and all of the sangat it hurts to see rifts, argument within the community. I would argue youu need some platform you can call home and springboard off. Punjab region is the soil of our Gurus. Our community even split on this, having spoken to people in person! The nationalist gov propaganda machine is using this against you. You dont have Panjab how you think you going to get india? Its like saying we going to make all of e.g. Nagaland Sikh. Firstly you have no claim over it in anyway, people will resist you and people will do what ever they can to fight/resist you especially when they do not know motives and sold another narrative by those in power who have networks, media, comms, internet at their disposal. You are seen as a minority like the many others. Punjab has been Sikh homeland time immemorial. Claim what is rightfully yours. After that people world over will see truth and others will want to be part of a sikh nation where all treated same with respect and no persecution. You need to know (geo)politics, history to give an informed point of view. Most of us lack this ability. It is imperative to want Punjab. Without it, it really may well be game over. Strategically it is super important. There is a lot of game play going on by govermment, their supporters and some people unknowingly. Same tactics that have been used by Israel and are still being used are being used by the bharat/indian government. Research it. We talk about oneness like we all know what it is and how to practice it! Are we seeing it? Do we truely know what it is? People know how to talk the talk but do they walk the walk? If your community and views are not one who you going to be one with? Oneness is a topic in itself. Sikh Guru Jis did not tell us to blindly accept everything like a hermit with eyes closed. There are many that are spiritually blind. It's time for those spiritually awake to come forward so the correct action can be taken. Time is now. It can all be done peacefully but it needs those who know to come forward. Even behind the scenes I implore those that are spiritually awake please do a benti/humble request for us poor ignorant beings that are blind to 'The One' that we may come together and take back the land of our Gurus for the benefit of all humankind on Earth. There was always meant to be a Heaven on Earth, lets start with Panjab. Please make it happen. 🙏 May Maharaj, 'The One True King' of All Kings listen to the ardas/request of those selfless enlightened great beings. I humbly kiss their feet again and again and bow before them. May I always be in their service! 🙏🙏🙏 Hope this is something worth reading and doing vichar on! Maharaj kirpa the community come together and already have to work selflessly. 🙏 Please forgive me for any mistakes or if i offend/upset anyone. My opinions and views are my own ji! ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ || ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫਤਹਿ || 🙏

@Ali_khan33377respectfully, how do you work that out? We have good muslim brothers and there's the kind that want to create issues, we have no problems with our muslim brothers or sisters. Everything is choice, everyone has a right to live. What kind of a muslim are you to make such a demand? Our brothers should be compassionate not driven by anger or greed! Moghals, Afghans were beaten fairly in war and documents to contradict your claim exist respectfully ji. 🙏 The Sikh lands were taken by the Brits /English during their occupation of India by calculating and devious methods from Maharaja Ranjit Singh (believe he was a Sikh? 🤔 Perhaps you need to check it, google is your friend). He was that feared by the English they even waited till his passing. There is speculation the British had a hand in his death, from some accounts/historical records, from recollection. Our islamic brothers have had no claim during his reign and since. Any land taken by Sikhs was won fairly in course of war. It was the English/Brits as part of a fair-well, parting gift decided to deal a blow by splitting what was Punjab between our muslim and hindu brothers and sisters, in effect making Sikhs stateless. This was even knowing Sikhs made the greatest sacrifice out of all the groups of people in terms of % of population in numbers during World War 1 and World War 2. A great injustice. After partition we were allowed to just exist in the region. If we were to have a debate think you will find Sikhs rightfully have more of a claim over most parts of Pakistan. Anyway for all I know you may not even be muslim, many double-agent types stir up hatred on platforms like this, twitter/x, ig, fb. West punjab (modern day/current day pakistan) is in a terrible way, the lands have been exhausted, difficult to cultivate and quality is declining quickly from my understanding. If you use your common sense you would recognise pakistan needs help to restore health to its soils/cultivate, help with food production. Creating issues will not help you or our muslim brothers and sisters. Sikhs can help by working together and ensuring all are sustained with food. It is about working together regardless of which government runs it. Sikh rule has always been just to all people, minorities. Show me any account where muslims were persecuted by Sikhs during their rule? You will not find it. Rest my case. Have no hate towards you or anyone else for that matter. Always about love bro, Sikhs love all our muslim brothers and sisters. 🙏 We have no anger or resentment to any people. No matter what feelings of resentment anger may be stirred there will be a renaissance of Sikh rule. All about love, righteousness and justice. Justice and righteousness will be restored to the region and the world so all can prosper! 'Gods' people are 'Gods' people, don't fear the people. All they have is love for all. Everyone should fear 'Allah, 'Ram', "G-d', 'Joshua', 'Yahshua', 'Yahweh', 'God' or what ever name (they are countless and unknown) you may want to call that transcendental supreme being! Those that know (powers that be should have the most fear [they know why]), know what 'one' is saying and for it to be true. No further explanation necessary. My opinions, views are my own. No offence intended. Please accept my apology for any mistakes or if I upset anyone. ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ || ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫਤਹਿ || 🙏

We get Raj when we have our own sovereign state again - Khalistan.

But there is no concept of Heaven and Hell in Sikhi?

@@gerwsgseit’s meant to be metaphorical, not literal.

@@gerwsgse Hell doesn’t always mean a place full of scorching lava all over Hell here mean that when a Sikh goes on a wrong path that could eventually lead him to corrode his sikhi and his spiritual values

Hi Brother ! Glad to hear your inspired by Sikhi, you are a blessed soul and may the divine Gurus guide you! You can read the rehat maryada (Sikh code of conduct) and it says/defines what a Sikh is and how to become one! We love and respect all paths that speak about spirituality and the One God, however being. a Sikh means you believe in the teachings of the divine 10 Gurus, and not other messengers or religious texts ! We respect all faiths, and being a Sikh means you have a responsibility to uphold justice and stand for the rights of others (regardless of creed/religion) We have a very unique path because we are firm that we don’t believe in other messengers/religions, yet we will fight and (as history proves) die to protect the rights of others ( be they Hindu/Muslim etc) If you want to learn more, listen to bhai jagraj Singh on basics of Sikhi ,

​@@kooomz1Thank you brother for reaching out. Sikhism just makes perfect sense. I will definitely check that out Islam is good too but too strict

@@sammysam6522yes please read sggs ji and the rehab maryada the best decision I ever made

You can even follow Sikh Gurus s teaching without converting and then makeup your mind if you want to convert.I know many who are Sikh and baptized but still not follow Gurus Bani.

⁠@@jasjas1731brother being a Sikh means you believe in the Gurus word, and we shouldn’t judge who follows Gurus bani and who doesn’t, we’re all on our separate journeys with our relationship with The Divine Gurus and God, it is not right for us to judge your friends’ spiritual level and indirectly discourage one away from Sikhi. Now this brother (Sammy I believe) is inspired by Sikhi, and the Gurus’ have blessed him with a love for Sikhi, so it is our duty to welcome a brother/sister with open arms! Fateh

exactly what I was thinking, he reminds me so much of Bhai Jagraj Singh.

He is already one. He is Inspirational speaker rather than a motivational speaker.

@Ali_khan33377 - No understand what your talking about, read the topic of the video and watch and learn

@Ali_khan33377 - go and take it, see what happens, no point talking about here hero. Panjab always been Sikh and will continue to be. Go and annoy someone else
