Request for Worldwide Sangat to increase Bani and Simran for Chardikala of Khalsa Panth

PLEASE FORWARD TO ALL YOUR SIKH CONTACTS TO CONTINUE RAISING AWARENESS

Press Release and Sangat Update

Request for Worldwide Sangat to increase Bani and Simran for Chardikala of Khalsa Panth

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

With Guru Ji's blessings, as evidenced by the Hukumnaamas Guru Ji gave on the day, the Satkaar Campaign was initiated by the UK Sangat on 16 October 2011 at Grays Gurdwara. Whilst Guru Ji is forever benevolent to His Sikhs, it is up to us, each and every Sikh, to value His blessings and to uphold the principles of Gurmat that Guru Ji has given us.

Guru Ji has blessed the Khalsa Panth with Fateh (victory) in certain morchas relating to the Satkaar Campaign, though there is a long way to go so that we Sikhs promote and maintain Satkaar (respect) for Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaaj, the living embodiment and soul of the Sikh Gurus, and to stop Beadbi (sacrilege) occurring.

In this regard, we are now seeing certain Gurdwara committees going to extreme lengths to justify their stance of permitting meat, alcohol, tobacco and parties on Gurdwara owned/funded premises. The UK Sangat knew that they would face certain stubborn committees, though even the Satkaar Campaign's Sevadaars are shocked and hurt at the lengths that these committees are going to. It is not appropriate to do so at this stage, though the Satkaar Campaign will provide further details to the UK Sangat of this in due course.

Given the nature of this issue and the need for the Panth to remain even more united to collectively resolve these issues, we have one humble Benti (appeal and request) to make to the worldwide Sangat: we request the Sangat to increase our Bani/Simran abhiyaas for the Chardikala of the Khalsa Panth, and more specifically, for the Panth's Fateh in respect of the Ardaas done by the UK Sangat at Grays Gurdwara for the implementation of the 2006 Sandesh in all UK Gurdwaras. There is no minimum or maximum, as every second of Ardaas, Abhiyaas and Bhagti will count with Guru Ji's blessings, but we humbly request each Sangat member to do 5 Chaupai Sahib Paaths a day.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
