Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa
Waheguru Ji Ke Fateh

Possibly one of the most important attributes of a Sikh
is the willingness to selflessly serve others. It is in
this spirit that Jakara is organizing a group effort for
college-age students to help out the flood-devastated
areas in New Orleans and Mississippi. If you are
free and would like to help from December 19-23,
please contact jakaramovement@.... We
need to find out the level of interest and make
arrangements ASAP. If you are interested in going,
please get back to us NO LATER than Tuesday
November 29th, so that we can contact you and
make the necessary flight arrangements.

Please distribute this widely as all are invited to come and
help out.

Hello,

I was watching fox news this evening...when all of a sudden I saw a
Sikh man handcuffed and being escorted into a police car.

This is the info. I have so far....

name: unknown
location: Rhode Island, US
reason: carrying a "weapon" (kirpan) (he is an amritdhari, or that's
what I figured out from looking at him, and then also from reading
the newspaper article I found in some local Rhode Island newspaper).

This is some serious bull$#!t!!!...


I have included the article below.....

Gurjit Singh

---------------------------------------

UPDATED 5:30 p.m. Wednesday

PROVIDENCE - A man allegedly carrying a knife aboard an Amtrak train
was arrested Wednesday, but authorities said he had no apparent
connection to this week's terrorist attacks.


Train No. 173 heading from Boston to Washington, D.C., was stopped by
local authorities in Providence, its passengers were ordered off, and
city police arrested the unidentified man. Police said three other
men were released after questioning.

A man with a long beard was taken in handcuffs from the train station
at about 3:20 p.m. The man, who was wearing a green turban, green
shirt and dark pants, was put into a Providence police cruiser.
Throngs of people then chased after the cruiser, cheering as the car
sped away.

An Amtrak electrician who was in the crowd said teen-agers chanted, "
Let's kill him," as the man was led away.

" I hope things don't escalate and people start doing bad things to
people because of the way they dress," said Albert Trombetti, 38, of
North Providence.

In Washington later, FBI Director Robert Mueller said individuals had
been detained and questioned but there had been no arrests by
investigators probing the terror attacks.

Col. Richard Sullivan, the police chief, said Providence police were
contacted by Amtrak police, who said there were some people on board
the train they considered suspicious.

Of the four men questioned, two were wearing turbans, but he did not
know if their clothing led to their suspicions.

" I can't say for certain why they seemed suspicious to the people of
Boston," he said. " I think that what happens is, it's going to gain
a lot of specualation because we don't have any information as to who
is responsible.

" There is probably a heightened suspicion. It's just a matter of
following up leads."

Sullivan said the man did not appear to have any connection with the
attacks. He was charged with a local weapons violation count for
carrying a knife, Sullivan said.

Sullivan described it as a medium-sized knife in a holder. Police did
not release his name, or the names of the other men questioned. The
man arrested was being held until his arraignment. It wasn't
immediately known when the arraignment would be held.

Providence Mayor Vincent Cianci Jr. said police told him they were
looking for as many as four suspects who eluded authorities in
Boston. Two of the hijacked planes that crashed Tuesday took off from
Boston.

" I don't know if any of these people have anything to do with the
events that happened yesterday," Cianci said.

The train was due in Washington at 8:50 p.m. After being stopped for
about 90 minutes, it resumed service.

Passenger Rusty McDonald, 44, of Dallas, said the train was one stop
from Providence when police boarded and began walking through it.

There was no message or information given to passengers aboard the
train.

When the train arrived in Providence around 2 p.m., it was stopped
and passengers were ordered off. More police then boarded the train.
Susan Barrett, a 28-year-old nurse from Providence, was on her way to
New York to help out at St. Vincent's Hospital.

" We went down to board the train and when the train came in, they
just told us to all get out. They made it real urgent," she said.

SIKH AGENDA - HAVE YOUR SAY

Are you a Sikh living in the UK?
Will you be taking part in the international convention on 16
September at Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara, Sedgely Street, Wolverhampton?
The agreeing of a 5-year Sikh Agenda for the UK Government at the
convention, by over 120 Gurdwaras and over 40 other Sikh
organisations promises to be a watershed in British Sikh history.

Did you know the Sikh community has lost out on over £100 million of
government funding over the last 8 years?  Why?
Do you want to change this trend?

Did you know there are around 7,000 denominational schools in
England, but only 1 that is Sikh?  Why?
Do you want to see a network of Sikh schools throughout the UK?

Do you want to contribute to the process of Sikh organisations
uniting and working towards common aims and objectives for the
benefit of UK Sikhs?
Has your local Gurdwara arranged a coach or other transport to take
you to witness and take part in this historic occasion?

Subject: [sikhyouth] You Can Win.....


Never forget your dreams,
no matter how far away
they sometimes seem.
Anything you dream of
is in sight
as long as the hope within
sparkles bright.

If you're blue
and you feel like God
has forgotten you,
remember that miracles happen
every single day.
And God hears every prayer;
His love is never far away.

Anything is possible
as long as you have faith in you.
And there's absolutely nothing
that you can't achieve or do.
Everything you need to win
you harbor safely within.
You only need to take a step forward
and decide that it's time to begin.

A boy in university is puzzled by the 5 k's. He thinks
they have no relevance. So, he writes a letter to his
father for an answer. Here it is. The answer. The 5
k's are extrememly important. Hopefully, this answers
some questions. waheguru je ka khalsa... waheguru je
ke fateh !!!!!



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following is a letter from a father to his son in
response to the son's crisis of faith. The son wrote
to his father that he did not feel that the five
symbols had any significance or relevance in today's
modern society and was considering abandoning them. In
response the father wrote a letter to his son about
the priceless value of the 5K's which is easily
forgotten in the modern material world. Dearest
Jaskirat, Sat Sri Akal. I must thank you for the deep
confidence and the love you have for me. It has always
been a joy to read through your letter as they
manifest, the density of the seeker of truth. I am
very happy that you had the courage and conviction to
express so openly the things that seem to have been
distressing your heart. I somehow felt all this
brewing up in you, for the last two years, but had
never allowed myself to face it directly, till you
wrote the present letter. It is a pleasure to hear it
all so plainly stated and I hope, I shall understand
and clam your mental anguish. When you leave the
university and face the world it seems to me that what
is crucial in life is not to succumb, not to bow your
head to various pressures, but to know and feel them
as they are, in a gentle spirit, with a great inward
strength, so that these pressures will not create
conflict in your life. You may question what is given
to you or what many of your age assert is being forced
on you - but this also means that you must question
yourself. You must not merely question, what you call
the significance, the need, the value of your own
life. It is only with such an integrated total
approach that you will understand not only the Kirpan,
the Kara, the Kanga, the Kesh and the Kachha, but also
appreciate the agonies, the joys, the pain, the
pleasure, the vanities and hope of living. In your
letter, the one word which has overpowered you, the
one emotion which drives you on, is significance. Over
and over again, you want to know what is the
significance of the 5 K's? The word certainly is not
out of place in our materialistic and individualistic
existence. In our efforts to be practical individuals,
we want to imbibe only what is of utility and
significance, the rest we want to discard. The search
for significance in everything is a curse for the
present century. It is a form of self-enclosure, self-
killing and therefore it breeds the fear of living.
The whole world, all your friends, your relations,
everyone is struggling for significant and useful
things. But what might be significant for you might
not be so for your friends. If you go to a man who has
ill-health, he will undoubtedly say, what is
significant is good health. If you go to a man who has
not had enough wealth in all his life, he will say
what is significant in life is money. If you go to a
mother she will say the significant thing is to have a
son. This is the reason to find an intricate web of
explanations, for the significance 5 K's. Every one
views it from his own angle of significance. The first
step in your questioning of the 5 K's should be to be
free of this yoke of significance. It is this
illusionary search for significance, which has made
many young ones and their seniors, discard their Kesh,
because they see no value in them. It is a pity that
we want to reduce Sahib Guru Gobind Singh Ji, to our
own mundane level of thinking and view all his actions
in light of practical animal utility. If he was in
search of merely objects of practical utility, he
could have made a truce with Aurangzeb, when the
latter made the offer. Shivaji did so at one stage,
because his search was different, his life was
different. If the rider of the dark blue steed, wanted
the 5 K's to be reflections of practical use values,
he could have very well added not only more weapons,
but instead of a sword, he would have given us a gun,
as guns did exist at that time. A gun would have been
more efficient and better suited for self-defense and
for war too. But he was not inspired out of a hunt for
weapons of self-defense or practical value, as we
would make it out, reflecting our own thinking
backwards in history. The Guru Sahib was not a novice
in the ways of arms, if he only wanted his Sikhs to be
armed for war, through these 5 K's he would have
rather equipped them the way he did Banda Bahadur at
Nanader, when he gave him 5 arrows and a bow. The
sword, anyway, in the battlefield would have been
useless without a shield. The Kanga, the Kesh, the
Kara, the Kirpan and the Kachha were all delicate
gifts of love and beauty to the Khalsa from his Master
who desired nothing for himself, but everything for
the Khalsa. These gifts were from a Guru who grabbed
not the gifts of his disciples but instead totally
surrendered everything for the cause and love of the
Khalsa. A way of total love which was to be unique for
the Khalsa; "Jau tau prem khelan ka chao sir dhar tali
gali meri ao." (Guru Nanak Dev Ji) "If thou art
zealous of playing the game of love, then enter upon
my path with thy head on they palm," It was out of
such love that these gifts were presented to the
Khalsa and not out of any attempt to carve our
soldiers. When there is total love there is action,
there is sacrifice. Is it not so? The love of Guru for
the Khalsa was not the result of mental vibrations,
and there was in his life no gap between love and
action, as there is between our thinking and action.
It is only we who want to be one sided in our love and
make claims of loving the Guru in our ideals, in our
heart and consequently we reason out that we don't
have to express our love for Him in action, in the
Desh, but can there be love without total commitment
and action? No the total love of Kalgidhar Guru Gobind
Singh Ji for the Khalsa becomes apparent in the book
titled Surbloh, where, he becomes one with the Khalsa
and portrays the Khalsa as his highest love: Khalsa is
the breath of my body,Khalsa is the very soul of my
life,Khalsa is my real pride and glory,Khalsa is my
own personal self,Khalsa is my life's sustainer,Khalsa
is my body and breath,Khalsa is my creed and
karma,Khalsa is my conscience keeper,Khalsa is my
perfect satguru,Khalsa is my brave friend,Khalsa gives
me intellect and wisdom,Khalsa is my object of
meditation. The mind that loves the Sikh ways of life
is a religious mind because it is the movement of
living, of action, of truth, of God and it is only
such a mind that can know what is the beauty of gifts
that Guru gave to us. The 5 ornaments that we wear are
the gifts, from a Guru, whose two younger sons, seven
and nine years old faced martyrdom in Sirhind in a
manner which is unequaled in the long annals of human
history. These two innocent children were walled alive
because they refused to bow before the sword of
hatred. The Guru's mother merged into the Supreme
Being at Sirhind during persecution. The two elder
sons of the Guru counted martyrdom fighting in action
for us. Guru Sahib himself had been attacked with
dagger by two cowardly Pathans at Nanded in Deccan,
causing serious injury. Could such a Benevolent Being
whose whole family was destroyed for the total love of
the Khalsa, be looking for practical utilities of an
animal existence? He was not the person to endow us
with gifts of mere practical value, but gifts of love,
which knew no questioning, no bartering, no deals and
no betraying. His was a total sacrifice and a total
love in both thought and action, for the happiness of
the Khalsa and these gifts had their pangs of birth in
a sea of human blood. It was not out of any practical
benefit that the evil genius of the Mughal government
announced awards for the hair of Sikhs. It was because
they knew that without these gifts, without these
embodiments of the Guru's love, the Khalsa would
disintegrate. All the children of the Khalsa are to
always wear a sword, in now way their own private
possession or property. The Kirpan is a gift from Guru
Gobind Singh Ji to the Khalsa. It is not to be judged
and measured as a weapon of war or peace, it is a gift
activated by the love of the Guru. Even a whole army
of bodyguards of the best police state in the worlds
cannot make it redundant. It shall always remain
attached to me, the bodyguards cannot make it
obsolescent. The sword is the love wherein the Guru
resides. A Guru who in his love saw no difference
between human beings and fused all of us in one creed
of devotion, service and sacrifice, in an age when
common men were hanged for even drawing water from the
same well, as that of the higher castes. The lower
castes were beaten to death if they as such touched
the kitchen utensils of a Brahmin. A Kalal - a wine
distiller, once came for the Guru's darshan and stood
at a distance, for the caste of the Kalal was
considered low in the social hierarchy. When Guru
Gobind Singh Ji, saw him he said, "Come in and sit
with all of us in the tent." The man quivered,
hesitated and said, "How can I, the lowest of the low,
sit in the assembly of the gods? Guru Ji, I am a kalal
whose mere sight pollutes." On hearing this, Guru
Sahib instructed His musicians and bards, to welcome
the man with music and songs and coming down from his
couch to bless him. He said, "You are not a kalal, but
a 'Guru ka-Lal', 'a Ruby of the Guru.' Who has such
love for us? The sword which we have, is an ornament
for all of us, the rich and the poor, you , me and the
whole humanity. To wear a sword which was once a
privilege of the few high born, under the dictates of
the Mughal aristocracy, with the Guru's blessings
became a gift which any one could carry, without fear
of being prosecuted, because now it was in love from
the Guru to the Khalsa "dan dio iniko bhalo avaranko
dan na lagat niko." (Guru Gobind Singh). "To bestow
gifts on them alone is worthy, to make gifts to others
is not kind". When his hands stroked our hair, washed
them, combed them, dressed, knotted them and placed in
them the invaluable Kanga, how can we, his sons and
daughters, bear our hair to be cut? The Guru Sahib
saturated our hair with Amrita. He left the imprint of
his blessings and joy in our hair. Our hair are like
the untouched pearl in the deep oceans not yet
disfigured by the fortune hunters. You say it is
inconvenient, frustrating, impractical to grow our
hair long. But more frustrating is an existence of no
inspiration, no effort. Our superficial hollow life is
no way less discouraging. The day to day fragmentary
living, the everyday struggle for food, the daily
pain, suffering, distress, torments and headaches are
in no way less discomforting. But in spite of all this
do we cease to exist? No, on the contrary we strive
all the more and struggle for pleasure, gratification,
comforts and joy. If we can reconcile ourselves to
such an empty living, can we not grow our hair long
which is so inspiring, creative, fulfilling and above
all a gift from our Guru, a gift whose rejection would
be a rejection of our existence, the negation of the
very purpose of our life. In the West, the children
love so much the gifts made to them on Christmas by
the mythical Santa Claus, they hungrily search their
stockings for the gifts placed in them by their
parents and after receiving their gifts feel so elated
and we so ungrateful, that we fight, throw away, kick
at the gifts of our loving father, who kept nothing
for the future of his House and gifted to us
everything he possessed - physical, spiritual and
material. The elegant kachha we wear every day is the
very same as the one worn by Guru Ji himself, by his
disciples and by his lovers. Clad in it, we are one
with him. The exotic wooden comb he tucked in our
hair, also combed, danced and swung in his hair. The
kanga, is the new born baby, playing in the lap of the
loving mother, whom we so brutally want to strangle.
It was these very same presents, for which tens and
thousands of my brothers laid down their lives. Have
you watched the tears in eyes of a sheep while she is
being sheared? And many of us so happy without our
hair. we for sure have traveled a long way from the
animal. The kara has to be received by us as a present
from our Guru, which is not comparable to our wealth,
our intelligence, our achievements. It comes to us as
a manifestation of His love and benefaction. It is
strange behavior indeed that we constantly argue about
it. He put on our wrist the kara, from that day it was
for ever ours, no one could separate it from a Sikh,
and we still advance reasons for it. He loved me. He
made me his own. He elevated me from the darkness of
ignorance to light of spiritual consciousness. Can I
not even make his gifts my own? We his children, have
to wear these gifts, carved out of infinite love. One
with these gifts, we blossom, separated from them we
wither. The decay in the Khalsa is apparent. Each one
of us wears the hair and beard of Guru Gobind Singh
Ji, exactly as he wore them. We are created in his
majestic image. Jab lag rahe khalsa niara, tab lag tej
dio mai sara, jab eh gahain bipran ki ritl, mai na
karo in ki partit" (Guru Gobind Singh) "So long as the
Khalsa retains identity, I will bestow to them full
glory; but the moment they adopt Brahmanical ways, I
will not protect them." Our significance is in Him,
and not anywhere without Him and his gifts. In these
gifts we are reminded of his Omniscence, Omnipotence
and Omnipresence. Jaskirat, do not make our presents
into dead symbols, they are the gorgeous ornaments of
the living. We are the "Wedded Women" of the God. They
are the wedding gifts from our Bridegroom. He gave all
of them to use and they are God-sent - imperishable,
indispensable and indestructible, superstitious and
fatalistic. But the waves of pure love always have
their own logic, rationality and fatalism. I love the
Guru's irrationality - if you want to call it so "sev
kari inhiman bhavat, aur ki sev suhat na jiko." (Guru
Gobind Singh) "To serve them pleaseth me, service of
any other is not dear to me." I don't have the courage
to reject such devotion. Does a would-be-wife question
the intrinsic value of the engagement ring, she is
gifted by her husband? No, never, even if it is made
of copper or a shell. Today, you want to discard these
gifts, because gold has more value. Yes, iron was poor
in worldly goods. A wealthy merchant, Hargopal once
grudgingly brought for Guru Gobind Singh, two gold
bracelets studded with precious jewels, not because he
loved the Guru, but because he felt that in doing so,
he would please his own father, who was a devotee of
the Guru Sahib. One of these expensive bracelets
accidentally fell into the Jamna river from the hands
of Guru Ji. At this, Hargopal was very displeased and
when his attempt to recover the bracelet proved
futile, he asked Guruji to point at the exact place
where he had dropped the bracelet, so that he could
take it out. To indicate the place in the river, where
the bracelet had fallen, Guru Gobind Singh Ji took out
the other gold bracelet from his wrist and throwing it
in the river he told Hargopal, "It is there." You want
to question the utility of the iron bangle of the
Guru, but not of the gold bangle which is so much in
vogue at Sikh engagement ceremonies today. You are
ready to discard the Guru's bangle for the yellow
metal. But do not forget your first marriage, out of
whose womb you stand today, aspiring for these worldly
gifts. The body can be made the basis of either animal
inconsistency or a divine temple. The choice is yours,
the solitude of separation is yours. These gifts are
not to be stored in the darkness of the cellars; think
deep into them, if you want to live in spiritual
grandeur. The head of a Sikh, the kesh of a Sikh,
having been once offered and accepted, become forever
of the Guru. It is an unceasing trust with Him. It is
therefore imperative for a Sikh to carry his head high
and not to bow it before a mortal barber. It shall
only bend and bow before the Guru. Once a new musket
was brought as a present for Guru Gobind Singh Ji. He
said, to test the love of his disciples, that he
wanted to try the aim of the musket on someones
forehead. He looked around and asked if any of his
Singhs would offer himself for the trial. Quick come
up-scores of unflinching Sikhs, each pushing the other
one away, regarding it as a boon to meet death at the
Guru's hand, and we today so uninspired, sleeping
beauties that except for empty words, have no deeds
worthy of our name. Everyday we recite in our prayer,
"Nanak das sada Kurbani." "Nanak thy servant is ever a
sacrifice to Thee." But what is that we sacrifice
everyday? Guru Gobind Singh was the purest sacrifice.
We may never reach his height, but some sacrifice we
can do. But instead we sacrifice our 5 K's. Shocking
is our spirit of sacrifice. If the Khalsa today is
hollow, it is because we forget our tradition of
sacrifices, it is because we forget the love of a
sacrificer, it is because we regard his gifts as mere
symbols. "Balhari gur apne diohadi sadvar." (Guru
Nanak) "I am a sacrifice to my Guru Hundred times a
day." Are we the worthy inheritors of this heritage?
After drawing on his blood, now we want to stab him in
the back! Jaskirat, one kilometer, from the Lahore
railway station stands a gurdwara, sacred to the Sikhs
in the loving memory of Bhai Taru Singh Ji. It bears
the name of Shahid Ganj, the Abode of Martyrs. Bhai
Sahib was resident of village Poola where he had a
small piece of land. The wheat and the maize that he
produced and the humble mud hut he had, he happily
shared with all the weary travelers who passed through
the village and needed a shelter to sleep for the
night. He belonged wholly to the Guru's hymns and
early in the morning under the stars, while on the
plough, with a white turban and a blue chola, a poor
toiler of the earth, he recited the Japji. The Japji
which has in it the inimitable cosmicness of life in
nature. The villagers loved Taru Singh for his fellow
feeling harmlessness and spiritual purity. But being a
Sikh, Taru Singh was not destined to live any longer,
his life of love, free from the hatred of caste colour
and religion. The authoritarian Mughal government of
medieval India was not willing to appreciate the way
of life of the Sikhs, which drew no dividing line
between man and man, between Hindus and Muslims,
between Brahims and Sardars "manas ki jat sab ik hi
pahchanho". (Guru Gobind Singh) "All men are the
same", it was a creed which cut at the very rood of
Mughal establishment based on human distinctions. To
extinguish this smithy of love, the government offered
to its subjects numerous monetary awards for the heads
of the Sikhs and they were declared outlaws. The greed
for gold tempted Bhagat Nirangi to lodge a complaint
against Bhai Taru Singh, with the Subedar (governor)
of Lahore, stating that he gave shelter, to dacoits,
the Sikhs, and the property of Muslim and Hindu
subjects of His Gracious Majority, was unsafe. Such a
complaint was unnecessary for the very living of a
Sikh was a reason enough for the state armed forces,
to go and imprison Bhai Taru Singh, who was bound in
ropes and brought before the Subedar. When the
Subedar, saw this young man of 23, he was overwhelmed
and shaken by his presence. He felt himself transposed
to another world. There was a radiance around him
which made the Nawab exclaim: "Khaunda! What a divine
Noor (glory) on his face. I pray that he should be a
Musalman!" Addressing Taru Singh, the Nawab said, "O,
graceful Sikh, I feel sorry for you and I wish to give
you a new lease of life." Taru Singh with tears in his
eyes, responded: "Reward me with a new lease of life?
Why stain me with such dishonour while my brothers and
sisters are being martyred here before me, every day,
every hour? The Subedar said, you presence is
resplended with a heavenly light. Somehow my heart
does not permit me to have you killed, but you must
cut and present me your tress-knot." Taru Singh
replied, "The Sikh and his hair are one. I will be
pleased to give you more than you ask me, my head with
my tress-knot". These hair are the eternal gift of
love, of immeasurable beauty to the Khalsa by our
Guru, they cannot be separated from a Singh's head,
without separating his head. The one who just looks at
them can never understand them. It is like looking
into a mirror, but you are not one with the mirror.
The observer is only capable of experiencing, he is
never mirror, the experience, the state itself. These
hair are the fountain of joy, the spring of life for
us. The Subedar still confident of bribing him then
said: "Taru Singh, you are too young. You have not yet
experienced the beauty and joy of life. I will make
arrangements for your marriage with a woman of your
choice. You will be awarded with high mansob (office)
in the Mughal army. You will be endowed with a
hereditary jagir, I promise you all sorts of luxuries
but you must part with your way of life and accept the
Muslim religion." A Guru ka Sikh can never be tamed
and now his tears mingling with a smile of joy, Taru
Singh replied, "Having been sent by Him they come
(into the world) and recalled by Him they go back",
said Guru Nanak. "It is the right and privilege of the
brave to die", says He, "For a Sikh, life has
beginning and no end - it is both death and life.
Neither my life nor my hair are for bargaining in your
court which views beauty, life and religion in weights
of gold. The value and beauty of our hair cannot be
measured in terms of luxuries and jagirs. Your
thinking is materialistic and is therefore negligible,
but an integrated living is always spiritual". The
Subedar could no longer bear this song of truth as he
cried out, "Stop him, for he disturbs the law and
order of our province. Kill him, for he disturbs the
law and order of our province. Kill him at once, but
cut his hair before." The Mughal soldiers caught hold
of Bhai Sahib's head and chin, but the barber found it
impossible to bring his hand near his head. With a
stroke of his head he would push back his captors and
make them whirl on the ground. A cobbler was then sent
for, to try his skill with his tools and scrape off
Taru Singh's hair, but his attempt too proved
abortive. At last the help of a carpenter was asked
for the foul deed with a stroke of his age, he cut off
Bhai Taru Singh's head (1743 A.D.) but failed to cut
his tress-knot. Thakur Rabindranath Tagore, a great
mystic poet of Bengal has beautifully sung of this
episode:Parathona Atit Dan - "More than asked For" For
a Sikh to cut his tress-knotsAmounts to discarding his
dharmaThe Pathans brought, bound hand and foot, the
Sikh prisoners,Shahid Ganj earth turned red with their
blood The Nawab addressing Taru Singh,said unto him:'I
wish to spare thy life'.Taru Singh retorted: Spare my
life!Why thou dishonors me?Said the Nawab: Thou art
bravest of the brave?'I don't wish to wreak my anger
on thee,Taru Singh replied: 'O Nawab they request with
my heart I comply and liberally grant thee more than
what thou begest of me:'My head with my tress-knot',
Jaskirat, if Bhai Taru Singh had looked for practical
utility, significance and relevance wouldn't he have
exchanged his hair for a Jagir, for beautiful women
and the power he was offered? But all these he
regarded as worthless when he weighted them with his
way of life. If the hair were mere symbols for him,
would he have staked his life for them. The term
symbols can never express the depth of these gifts.
You will never find even a most dutiful policeman
leaping to death, to uphold a short circuited burning
traffic light signal, because it is a sheer symbol for
the cars and lorries on the road, it is an external
factor to his life. But our 5K's are much deeper and
profound than symbols and this is the reason we find
not only Bhai Taru Singh, but a whole galaxy of
martyrs in our History - Bhai Mati Das, Dyal Chand,
Bhai Mani Singh and Subeg Singh - all playing with
their lives, which appears to us so irrational and
fatalistic. Son, you merely read about the 5 symbols
in isolation, meditate on them as links with lives of
your ancestors, it is only then that their meaning
will be apparent to you. In themselves the 5K's might
appear to be mere symbols, show windows but it is only
when they are knit with our lives, woven in our
existence, painted with our daily sorrow and joys that
their value, justification and significance emerges.
They are inseparable from our life and if you perceive
of them as separate, it is not surprising that they
appear to be frivolous, justified and a burden of the
past. If you are wounded and in agony it is because
you want to separate, from yourself, what is vital for
existence. Unfortunately, you visualized only a part
in segregation from the whole. You are looking out of
a small window set in the wall, from which the outside
may appear to be attractive and convincing for
sometimes, but it does not allow you to view the
beauty of life. Without linking these ornaments of
love, with your daily existence, you can never have
perception of the whole, therefore you will always be
sad and when the end comes, you will still be grouping
in the darkness of your cell; you will have had
nothing but hallucinations and a lot of empty words.
But if you fall in love, now with these unique gifts,
if you love your Kesh not, the Kirpan you wear, then
son as you grow up, you will not remain in your
dungeon with its dark windows, but will leave it and
love the whole way of life. If you don't constantly
have a passionate love for those presents of the Guru,
then you are like a flower without fragrance, withered
and lying in the dust, being crushed and kicked by
every pedestrian. Only he can have love for God, who
abandons his ego, forgets himself completely and
thereby brings the state of creative consciousness.
The "me" and "I" from its very birth is constantly
building a barrier of knowledge around itself, around
its actions and ultimately leads to isolation and
despair. A life of the dead. Knowledge is only a minor
part of life, not the totality and when it thus
assumes all consuming significance, as it is now then
your life becomes artificial, an empty cut, from which
man tries to escape, through superficial escapes with
disastrous results. Knowledge is like a kerosene lame
on a dark night, but it can illuminate only so long as
it has fuel. Life is much vaster and deeper, it cannot
be lived with the aid of an extinguishable lamp.
Knowledge is essential to everyday existence, as money
is to but your food, but it cannon grasp the reality
of love, of God, of living. Love is not to be hooky in
the net of intelligence; if you use knowledge to grasp
love, it will die as one fish dies out of water.
Knowledge must be left behind for love to be. Burdened
with mechanical learning you will never understand
what is beauty, what is measurable. The light of
knowledge is a covering under which lies a realm of
truth, which knowledge cannot penetrate. The worship
of knowledge is a ritualistic pilgrimage, which can
never dissolve the contradictions and miseries of
life. Mere knowledge, however earnestly learnt and
cleverly assembled, will never resolve the meaning of
the 5 K's to assume that it will, is to invite
frustration and misery. You may know all about the
working of the earth and the functioning of the skies
and still not be free from sorrow, envy and pain. To
know these gifts, to value truth, to be one with God,
you must have claims, to beliefs, no speculations
"Sochia soch na hovai je sochai lakhvar" (Guru Nanak)
"Mortal cannot comprehend Him by thought." If you have
gathered the knowledge of living, the knowledge itself
becomes more important, not your living. If you want
to understand these gifts, everything will come right.
Live in them and there is understanding, "hukmai
andarsabh ko bahr hnkam na koe. Nanak hukmi je bujhai
ta haumai kahe na koe." (Guru Nanak) "Nothing at all
outside His will, abiding O Nanak, he who is aware of
the supermen will never in his selfhood utterest the
boast: It is I". The Supreme Will was to live in the
glory of these embellishments of our land so shall it
be. These gifts of ours are not symbols of a religion,
or compulsory rites of a religion. The Sikh way of
life is not to live on any set of rituals, formalism,
talismans, penances, austerities, pilgrimages or
symbols. The Sikhs were rebels against all this and
more. The gurbani abounds, in hymns against ritualism
and symbols. Guru Nanak Dev Ji said in on of his
compositions "Yoga lies not in wearing patched
garments, nor in carrying a staff, nor in smearing
one's body with ashes, nor does it lie in wearing
earrings, not in cutting one's hear, not in playing on
a singi." (Suhi I). Could anyone have said something
more against the irrelevance of symbols. How strongly
he felt against empty symbols may be gauged from these
lines, "With tikka (the sacred mark) on their
foreheads and dhoti wrapped around their loins and
legs, they look pious, but in fact they are the
world's butchers carrying daggers in their hands."
(Asa-da-var) The shallowness of ritualism and symbols
was exposed thoroughly by Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the
Akal Ustati: Some worship but stocks and stones, while
others suspend the lingum from their necks.Some look
for the God in the East, other in the West,Some
worship but idols, some are unwise enough to worship
the dead;All these are involved in a false show, and
they find the Mystery, that is God. After the victory
of the battle of Bhangani, Guru Gobind Singh Ji
blessed Pir Budhu Shah, with no treasures and no
elephants, for his service, as was the custom of that
time, but a Kirpan and comb with some broken hair of
his. These gifts are still preserved as sacred relics
in the former princely state of Nabha. This very
jewelry, he presented to all of us, in spite of the
fact that our lives were not wrought in the furnace of
sacrifice - a jeweler which no craftsman, no
intellectual, no jeweler is capable of imitating.
Continued . . These gifts of ours are the
constellation of super consiousness, the very essence
of breath of God in us, of which our tress-knots are
the spiritual crown of humanity. Jaskirat, ask not
from me the significance, the value, the power of our
tress-knots, for I am incapable of describing it. In
the meadows, dales and mountains of our tress-knots,
the bliss of perennial joy flows, in the beautitude of
our tress-knots, the flowers are fired. In our
mystical tress-knots, the insipid mankind is inspired
in the holiness of our pristine pure tress-knots, the
sun chariot rides high in eternity; in the infinity of
our tress-knots; the melting snow caps of the mountain
peaks, wash away all sorrows; in our august
tress-knots, the frenzied rain torrents pour; in the
creativity of our transcendental tress-knots, his
nakedness is robed anew in the effulgence of these
gifts. Live in the eternal joy of your tress-knots and
you will know what it is, to be. Men collect the ashes
of the departed soul and pray for him in the church
and the temples and you want to discard, this living
soul, this living temple! People build monuments for
the dead, you want to uproot the living monument the
Guru gave to you. If you want it to disintegrate you
may, but you shall forever be buried under it. The
love shall still come your way because you are one of
the descendants of the ancient lore, you will still
flex your muscles when the song is of your
forefathers, but you would have converted the garden
of the living into the weeds of the dead. The gardener
will shed his tears but no more will you grow. Soon,
even his tears will dry as he tends new gardens. A
time comes when no one knows, of the long ruined
monument. It passes back into the womb of agony and is
possessed by the serpents, jackals and chameleons.
Jaskirat our 5 K's are beyond the realm of rituals and
symbols, they are the timeless ones. Can you and me
enclose with our intellects what is not measurable?
Can you and me enclose with out intellects what is not
time? Can our constant hatred, anger, ugliness, lead
us to the unknown? Do we have an instrument to gauge
what has not beginning and no end? Can the truth of
these gifts be trapped in the cage of logic? What we
may capture by our mechanical knowledge and logic, is
superficial, never the cosmicness of these presents.
Many of us spiritedly respond to tranquilizers but
living in love, needs no tranquilizers. The beautiful,
the loved can never be dissected and summed up. For
these gifts, we can reach no conclusions, no morals
and no judgments because they are not symbols, but
pieces of art. What would the cuckoo's song mean to
you, if you want to take down its notation and analyze
them? What would your mother be for you if you want to
know her by analysis? Only a biological skeleton for
procreation. You have so much trapped yourself in a
net of words, of speculations that the feeling itself,
which is the only thing that is deep and vital in us
in lost. The significance or the insignificance of
these gifts is not important. The highest art in life
is to be beautiful. And these gifts are the force that
creates the beautiful, the artistic in us. It is one
in a million, who has the beauty of these ornaments.
The kesh, the kachha, the kara, the kanga and the
kirpan are the gifts, chiseled out for the Khalsa, by
the divine artist. These are gifts, endowed to us
forever by the Divine Bridegroom, on the day of our
marriage to him, on Baisakhi, in 1699 at Anandpur
Sahib (The City of Bliss). They are true embodiments
of art and anyone looking at them, can have his bosom
full of meanings, ecstasy, inspiration, love, joy and
what more can we wish? In them we have the treasure,
mines, in them is the beauty and we are so ignorant of
it. We the cosmic brides will carry his gifts of love,
in honour, purity and splendour glory and our love
will blossom in all climates, in all times and in all
continents. May the blessing of Waheguru Ji be with
you forever.
Your loving fatherHarchand Singh.

’84 riots on big screen
Pradeep Sharma

Big budget film-making has finally come to Chandigarh, derisively dubbed as
a culturally dull city. And the man behind the project is none other than
one-time assistant to noted actor, director and producer Manoj Kumar—SP
Singh(Satto Singh)

Launched under the SP Singh Productions, "1984—the Fire" will endeavour to
recreate the agony of the second largest tragedy after Partition, the ‘84
riots on the big screen. "Nobody had dared to make a film on the subject in
the past 16 years on account of the sensitive nature of the topic. The film
will convey the message that such a thing does not ever happen in future,"
informs SP Singh.

In fact, for SP Singh, who has to his credit mega productions like
"Beti","Pathar aur Payal", "Warrant", "Kachee Heere","Saawan" and ‘Hum to
Mohabbat Karega" the film will be a dream come true on his home turf. Born
in Palwal in Haryana, SP Singh left Mumbai after working there for over 33
years and set up a film and TV training institute, "Groomers" in Sector 35
of Chandigarh last year with a dream of gifting new talent to the industry
from North India.

The cast of the big budget film is being finalised and it will be shot in
Mumbai, Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh besides other places. The mahurat of
the film was held in Chandigarh recently with 15 trainees of "Groomers"
taking the mahurat shot. Brig KS Chandpuri (retd), hero of the Longewala
battle in the 1971 Indo-Pak war, gave the clap shot and Nek Chand,
creator-director of the renowned Rock Garden, rolled the camera. A noted
producer, Amitabh Chandel, broke the ceremonial coconut.

"Humanity died at the time of the ‘84 riots and the film’s sole message will
be to drive home the point that history does not repeat itself," opines the
director, Sunil Babbar, who has to his credit much-acclaimed documentaries
on Chandigarh and the Rock Garden.

Babbar informs that five songs of the film have already been recorded in the
voices of Alka Yagnik and Sonu Nigam and the shooting will start in April.

Scotland launches probe into racist murder case

By Ed Cropley


EDINBURGH, Nov 29 (Reuters) - Scotland's senior law officer launched an
unprecedented inquiry into the handling of a racist murder case on Wednesday
after two men accused of killing a Sikh waiter walked free.

Lord Advocate Colin Boyd QC said the independent probe, headed by Justice of
the Supreme Court of Northern Ireland Anthony Campbell, would investigate how
decisions in the prosecution process were taken.

But relatives of Surjit Singh Chhokar, who was stabbed to death outside his
Lanarkshire home in November 1998, said the review did not go far enough, and
should be conducted in public.

"If it (the Crown) has nothing to hide, it should do this in public," Aamer
Anwar, the family's lawyer told reporters.

The probe, which will be conducted behind closed doors, comes after David
Montgomery, 23, and Andrew Coulter, 19, left Glasgow's High Court as free men
on Tuesday following their acquittal for Singh's murder.

After a trial which had echoes of the infamous Stephen Lawrence case in
London, Boyd admitted mistakes had been made in the way the prosecution was
conducted.

Lawrence, a black teenager, was murdered by a gang of white youths in
southeast London in April 1993. No one has been convicted of his killing, and
five men charged with the murder were acquitted due to lack of evidence. An
official inquiry into the case concluded that London's Metropolitan Police
was institutionally racist.

APOLOGIES TO FAMILY

Boyd is meeting with the Chhokar family in Edinburgh on Wednesday, where he
said he would repeat his apologies for the failure of the Scottish judicial
system.

"Their son has been murdered and after two years of lengthy investigation and
two trials, no one has been convicted of murder," Boyd said. "I have
apologised to them for the failings in the liaison and support service
provided to the family."

A second parallel review would also investigate how the family were treated
throughout the trial, Boyd said.

It was the second time a jury had returned not guilty verdicts in a trial
relating to the case. In March 1999, Coulter's uncle, Ronnie Coulter, was
acquitted of murder but convicted of serious assault.

After that hearing, the trial judge Lord McCluskey, attacked the crown,
saying it was "extraordinary" that Andrew Coulter and Montgomery were not in
the dock alongside him.

Dear All

Hello its me again, you might recall my email last month advising you of the
Bhangra nite at Electric Orange, in Plumstead, well it was a complete success.
Hence there is another one planned on 23rd of this month.

The admission is free, and it is from 9.00 till 1am, dress smart, the address is
Plumstead High Street, Plumstead, about 100 yards from Plumstead Police Station
just in case you have ever had the pleasure of visiting that place !!

Any more information that you need please email me !!!

See you there
