YOU GAVE GURU GOBIND SINGH JI YOUR HEAD, BUT THEN YOU TOOK IT BACK


This poem is written for those who have once taken Amrit, and have now left this path. Please send it to anyone who could possibly benefit from it, as we see many people these days, who took Amrit in the past, but have fallen from this path, and done beadbi of Kes, or have began turning to alcohol/drugs. Some lines may seem harsh, but sometimes we ourselves (included me), need a wake-up call. I do not claim to be a good Sikh myself. Alot of this applies to me as well.

YOU GAVE GURU GOBIND SINGH JI YOUR HEAD,BUT THEN YOU TOOK IT BACK

Guru Gobind Singh Ji tried,to keep you on the right track
You gave Him your head,but then you took it back
Turning your back on Guru Ji,how did it feel?
Or were you toobusy convincing yourself,that "It's really no big deal"
Remember thatday when you took Amritand made a vow?
What happened to those promises, whois your Guru now?
You sold out your Sikhi,and that’s the plain truth
You ruined this precious life,saying "I want to enjoy my youth"
To make yourself feel better,you can say whatever you want toBut one dreadful day,
your words will come to haunt youAnd when that day comes,
you will regret what you have doneYou lost your honour,
in a battle you should have wonThis world is just maya,
it will take your Sikhi awayTell me,did you forget thatyou are gonna die one day?
When this dream calledlife reaches its end
Then who will be your saviour,your helper, your True Friend?
There is still hope,you need to sharpen your mind Go towards Guru Ji,
and the Truth you will findTo merge with God,
you were sent to earthTrying to impress the world, you wasted the human birth
Did you think of those mothers,who wore their babies around their necks?
Or did all you think about,was attracting the opposite sex?
The very same hair that Guru Ji put Amrit inYou grabbed the scissors,and committed the ultimate sin
Guru Ji's Sons gave their lives,so you can be a SikhTheir Sikhi remained strong,
with each and every brickNow is the time,for you to wake up and take control
Guru Ji's the water,that will sooth your burning soul
Do you really want tocome back to this hell on earth?
Wandering and suffering,birth after birthYou say you're not ready to take Amrit,
thats always your replyButthink about this...are you ready to die?
You think you'll practice Sikhi,in the future when you are old
But tell me,do you know when yourbody will turn cold?
When it’s all said and done,you will be full of sorrow and regret
You'll want to go to Sach Khand,but the requirements were not met
Guru Ji's arms are wide open,and He is waiting for youIt’s time to take action,
and do what you gotta doChange your life RIGHT NOW!
don't wait another dayTomorrow may never come,
then what will be left to say?
That Guru Gobind Singh Jitried to put me on the right track
I gave Him my head,but then I took it back.

My Sword (Kirpan)


My sword is my companion my warrior and friend,
Not to be offensive but sworn to defend,
The infusion of steel runs through my veins,
Making me immune from sorrow and pain,
My sword is the protector of the needy and poor,
When oppression becomes a disease my sword is the cure,
My sword sings the song of selfless love,
It lives in harmony with law from above,
The flash of my Guru's sword awakens the sleeping soul,
Without the sword I can never be whole,
The sword of the Guru is the giver of life,
Before the soul was barren now it is ripe,
I am the saint and the soldier that walks in peace,
I am the humble dust of your feet,
But don't think my spirituality makes me weak,
The heavens will roar if my kirpan were to speak,
Death is my bride, fear is my friend,
My Guru's path is the map heaven sent,
To Follow the path, surrender your whole,
The power of the Guru's sword will give light to your soul.

Facts that need to be told...

Im sure everyone has heard about what goes on e.g. muslim guys checkin apniyah kuriyah. Well like a lot of people have said ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!! Fair play if you check someone because you actually like them, but correct me if im wrong - is checking someone just to use, abuse and convert them right???? Yeah this is the point where most girls are like "my muslim boyfriend aint like that" Well i got news 4u....YES HE IS!!! All muslim guys know their qu'aran off by heart whether or not they claim to be religous or not. So what if they session (its usually vodka they drink!) or eat kfc...they still know more about their religon than you do!!!! This is sad really for all you girls...thinkin you got a "special boyfriend" who deeply loves u, when in reality you are just another "sikhni" who they show off about shaggin in front of their brothers and mates. Im not sayin all our boys are perfect, but what would you prefer, a stereotypical punjabi "playa" or a muslim guy pretending he loves u, purely because he thinks your CHEAP, DIRTY, THICK, STUPID and generally just a SLAG???? WAKE UP GIRLS....regardless of what you do....e.g. clubbin, sessionin etc....u dont deserve to have your life ruined by someone who is out 2 mess you up purely due to what religon you were born into. This is NOT a hate campaign....racism doesnt achieve nothing...all i wanted to do is get a few FACTS across (e.g. over 300 Sikh girls convertin 2 islam in 2002) ask yourself why this is happening??? dont you think WE are being targetted???? Dont you girls take offence that you are all labelled "Sikh slags"?? Its time 2 wake up...when a Sikh girl is converted, it aint just you that goes, its a whole generation that is wiped out. What a waste....Did the the mothers of Mir Mannus jails where their babies were cut into peices and put around their necks go through that pain for nothing??? imagine your nephews or neices being cut to peices and put around your neck...would you still say no to islam???
We come from a faith where men and women are EQUAL, a faith where we gave our lives to save other religions, a faith where our Guru gave his head for the sake of humanity (Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji the 9th Guru) a faith where our men and women rescued hindu women from the mougul muslims who took them back 2 afghanistan 4 prostituation....So why cant we save ourselves, our brothers & our sisters???? WAKE UP!!!
United We Stand - Divided We Fall... this is not a Jatt, Tharkan, Chumar or any caste's problem....this is a problem that is affectin us all so lets all WAKE UP!!!
Knowledge is Power - ask yourselves what do we know about OUR religon??? muslims are clever they will try 2 brainwash you with bullshit about OUR religon...so lets WAKE UP and know OUR religon so that we cant be targetted and attacked on a daily basis (whether its in schools, colleges, uni's, workplaces etc)!!!! And 4 those who do know about Sikhi and what OUR religon is all about, you havent got any excuses for being "forcefully" converted...have u???
We all like to think we are modern....but just dont 4get your roots and who you really are....because their are far 2 many people out there (muslims being the numba 1 enemy) who are to destroy us...WAKE UP!!! hundreds of Sikh girls are targeted and converted every yearheres some FACTS you sould know:Fact - in some cases, Muslims are paid 10 thousand pounds to convert a Sikh girl, while its 7 thousand for a hindu Fact - Sikh girls are "easy and enjoy a drink" according to muslims and are "sikh slags" Fact - muslim guys wear KARAS and pretend 2 be Sikh...shortening and blaggin their names Fact - even black magic is used 2 convert sikh girls Fact - gifts are given, especially mobile phones to sikh girls so that they can keep you under lockers 24/7 Fact - the list can go on and on...its time WE all WAKE UP!!!

Isn't it strange!

Theres a topic I would like to discuss today, About so many Sikhs who have gone astray and are forgetting what our Guru's and shaheed's did for us to be Sikhs today!Show me a Sikh, who will die for his hair, Now a days people dont even care.Our glorious past in history books, These days Sikhs dont even have there father Guru Gobind Singh Ji's look.Show me a Sikh, who will live with a price on his head, Show me a Sikh who before falling from Sikhi would rather be dead.We call ourselves Sikhs, but fools we are, From our gurus teachings we are distant and far. Isn't it strange how a £20 note seems like such a large amount when you donate it to the gurdawara, but such a small amount when you go shopping? Isn't it strange how 2 hours seem so long when you're at the gurudawara, and how short they seem when you're watching a good movie? Isn't it strange that you can't find a word to say when you're praying, but you have no trouble thinking what to talk about with a friend? Isn't it strange how difficult and boring it is to read one chapter of the Guru Granth Sahib, but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a popular novel? Isn't it strange how everyone wants front-row-tickets to concerts or games, but they do whatever is possible to sit at the back of the gurudawara? Isn't it strange how we need to know about an event for the gurudawara 2-3 weeks before the day so we can include it in our agenda, but we can adjust it for other events in the last minute? Isn't it strange how difficult it is to learn a fact about Waheguru to share it with others, but how easy it is to learn, understand, extend and repeat gossip? Isn't it strange how we believe everything that magazines and newspapers say, but we question the words in the Guru Granth Sahib? Isn't it strange how everyone wants a place in heaven, but they don't want to believe, do, or say anything to get there? Isn't it strange how we send jokes in e-mails and they are forwarded right away, but when we are going to send messages about Waheguru, we think about it twice before we share it with others? IT'S STRANGE ISN'T IT? Now that you've read this message, forward it to anybody that you know, and keep Waheguruji first!!!

Never 4get 1984

1984 REMEMBERANCE MARCH & FREEDOM RALLY
GATHER FOR RALLY @ HYDE PARK (11:30AM)
CENTRAL LONDON TO TRAFALGAR SQUARE
SUNDAY 3RD OF JUNE 2007

Every Sikh sould know what happened in June 1984! Early June 1984 the Indian army invaded the most scared Sikh shrine, the Golden Temple complex In Punjab Amritsar. The Indian army was given orders to take out Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale and hes fellow Sikh militants who took refuge inside the Golden Temple. It was a very heart breaking moment for the Sikhs because the most holiest shrine was violated and was treated in the most unholy way, so many innocent Sikh pilgrims and temple workers were caught up in cross fire not in a battlefield but at a scared place of worship. The Akal Takht (the seat of supreme Sikh temporal power) was fired at and reduced to rubble, the Golden Temple was also fired at with over 300 bullets, many precious scriptures of the Guru's were burned and the continues reading of the Siri Guru Granth Sahib in Harimandir Sahib was interrupted for the first time since the Golden Temple foundation stone was laid. This tragedy shook the whole of the Sikh community not only in Punjab but all around the world, it made them realise that they couldn't have nobody attacking thier religious shrine. This horrific event will never be forgotten, it will always be remembered in the hearts of every true Sikh. THE FIRE STILL BURNS!!!

Art of Waheguru

The way we see things such as nature, naturally scenery that hasn't been touched, it just looks so beautiful its unbelievable aint it? Who could have created such amazing scenery. To the sandy deserts in Egypt, to the tropical beaches in the Bahamas, to the snowy mountains in Canada, to the tropical rain forests in Brazil, there could only be 1 artist the most greatest perfect painter of all, who paints the most extraordinary scenery ever imagined, it could only be the 1 lord creator of all mankind Satnaam Siri Waheguru!

Gifted with Sikhi

Right where do i start lol erm my mind is running with so many things its 11:03pm and i feel like i have to just let it all out on this blog, okay let me tell you a few things about myself and what made me get into Sikhi and what made me realise who i really am deep down.
Well my name is Ajaipal Singh I'm 18yrs old, i live in East London and i'm currently studying to become an Electrician, i was brought up in a punjabi community where there wasnt hardly any Gursikhs (Amritdhari) Sikhs who would give inspiration, when i mean Gursikhs i mean Sikhs who actully follow Guru Ji's Rehat and are devotees filled with nothing but pyar and who are strongly committed towards Sikhi.
Well growing up wasn't easy, coming from a non-religious family and being brought up in an area where there was no inspiration what so ever, i didnt really have a clue about Sikhi and what it was all about. We didnt use to go to the Gurdwara often, mum put the paath on every morning and evening, so i guess that was like a boost in a way to what made me have the love for Sikhi and realise who i really am.
When i was little i was a mona, my dad had kesh and my 2 elder brothers had kesh when they were very young, but was cut of at a later stage when they were getting teased at school and all.
After my senior school days were over in 2005 i started to get into Sikhi a little bit more, i met a few Sikh friends over the net and we started to go to Nagar Kirtan's and other Sikh events, since then Sikhi had a major impact on me and i think that was when it all started to take an effect, from growning my kesh to reading up on Sikh history to visiting the Gurdwara when i could and to listening to the paath more often etc. I was in tears when i first read up on what Sikhs had sacrificed in the past for us, the likes of Guru Arjan Dev Ji the (5th Sikh Guru) who was put on a hot plate with hot sand being poured all over him for not accepted another religion, the likes of Bhai Mati Das who got sawn in half, Bhai Sati Das who got wrapped in cotton and was set alight, Bhai Mani Singh who got cut limb by limb, Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji (the 9th Guru) who was beheaded, the list is endless... that is just a few to mention, so much Kurbani i just feel so blessed that i am on such a path where innocent people have given up their lives for freedom.
Sikhi is truely amazing, people just don't know what they have, todays youth just want to blend in with society and please others and be something their NOT, its all to do with the lack of education (knowledge is power) thats the key to success and without that how are we supposed to get more Sikh youth into Sikhi if we aren't educating them enough. This is what needs to be done because what the Sikh panth faces today is becoming a serious problem which needs to be solved, Just look at what is happening around us our sisters being converted, more Sikhs getting into the punjabi community rather visiting the Gurdwara, listening to bani, doing Sewa, i think we all need to wake up and stop being up our own backsides, start getting the youth involved in the panth, making an effort to get more sangat and not always thinking about ourselves but thinking about our future Generation of Sikhs.
