More audio downloads on www.SweetSikhi.com
This weekend was cool. Friday morning I had my last exam got home and chilled then in the afternoon jetted over to Southall for youth keertan program at Sikh Missionary. The program was good when I went there Singh was doing keertan
Afterwards Bhai Anoop Singh Ji Una sahib vale arrived and did keertan and simran. I have to day he seems to be doing a lot for youth which is great and seems to genuinely have a vision to network the youth which I found really inspiriong. I’ve made a little video of it so keep look out in the next week for the video of keertan and audio. Anyway after that had langar and ended up getting home very late on the trains.
Saturday had to attend an interfaith event along with Manvir Singh, and Raghbir Singh we where representing Sikhs there was a few Somalis and other Muslims and Christian people it was good. When it came to lunch we went out and had chocolate cake I made. lol We left early to get to Southall for the keertan darbar.
Manvir Singh and Raghbir Singh when we were on the train to Southall Keertan Darbar.
Satinder Singh Bhaji does alot of seva generally and was doing seva of tabla on Saturday.
The Sunday thought we were going to be late for Bibi Snatam Kaur but then I got a call saying she was delayed and was starting late so we rushed over to Southall. Keertan was awesome. It was intresting to see that gurdwara was packed out it was fantastic a lot of people there seemed fascinated, they would do meta tek and just stand staring at the jatha doing keertan after 30 seconds they would realise they just standing there and staring so they would quickly hurry to find a space to sit. It was really nice to see and would be great if someone was inspired by that to look at sikhi even more.
Then after Sweet Sikhi show went back to the gurdwara and there was Bhai Taar Babir Singh ji Darbar Sahib Hazoori Raagi and other jathas doing keertan together. On our way walking from the radio station to gurdwara we went past this medical centre, I was suprised to see it was namer after Guru Nanak Dev Ji but was really cool.
When we were in Langar these little kids all sabatsoorat or where becoming sabatsoorat was really awesome. they seemed more instrested in taking my phone. :)
After that Bhai Anoop Singh una Sahib vale did keertan and that was an exciting weekend. Recordings and videos will be up real soon ill post more information when I get it.

Below is a excerpt from Bhai Sahib Puran Singh Jee - Author of 'The Spirit Born People' Highly recommended read from the Sevadars of this site - in which he explains the creed of the Sikh brotherhood and which if any Gursikh follows would not stray too far from the Guru's path.
NAM - Naming Him, The Secret of the personality that has no personal aims, ambitions, of selfishness. Selfishness is transcended by love. So by living in Him, by Naming him, by dying in him, in love of him, man attains his manhood, which is forever divine and unselfish.
The essential nature of the soul is unselfish. Realizing one's soul first through Nam constitutes the life of this brotherhood. It is the maintenance of the spiritual attitude by physical effort while in this physical universe of incessant struggle.
DAN - Giving. Giving away all one has, in spontaneous sympathy, infinite philosophic sorrow for the living, and in infinite but silent, unaggressive, unobtrusive, spontaneous zeal for doing good to the living, as does the rose in the river. It is an attitude of the elevated life that gives without knowing. As hotter objects impart heat to the colder objects around by the difference in potential, so does a Brother of the TressKont of Guru Gobind Singh give.
Dan, certainly, does not mean in the Guru's Brotherhood the conscious contributions of charity, a giving of alms. "All belong to the Guru;" so does the Brother feel, and always "all is His, nothing is mine." Such affectionate attitude never comes by any social codes or rules. It is nothing mechanical, it is deep and organic. This charity of the Brother flows like rivers out of his whole being. The Brother has foregone his self, his labour, his very flesh and blood, his life, and his soul, for the beloved master.
ISNAN- Bathing the body with cold water; bathing the mind in the nectarian streams; bathing the soul in love of him.
VAND CHHAKANA - Equal distribution of the fruits of labour. "Partake not of that bread which thou has not split with thy brother".
Shiri Guru Gobind Singh Ji is the Guru of the modern times. He is a Prophet who has reconstructed human society in this brotherhood of Nam, Dan, Snan, Kirt Karna, and Vand Chhakna."

www.sevatothemax.com"Sure," they replied, "we'd love to meet him."
"There's something you should know the son continued, "he was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mind and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to come live with us."
"I'm sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find somewhere to live."
"No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us."
"Son," said the father, "you don't know what you're asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden on us. We have our own lives to live, and we can't let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He'll find a way to live on his own."
At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him. A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building, they were told. The police believed it was suicide. The grief-stricken parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue to identify the body of their son. They recognized him, but to their horror they also discovered something they didn't know, their son had only one arm and one leg.
The parents in this story are like many of us. We find it easy to love those who are good-looking or fun to have around, but we don't like people who inconvenience us or make us feel uncomfortable. We would rather stay away from people who aren't as healthy, beautiful, or smart as we are. Thankfully, there's someone who won't treat us that way. Someone who loves us with an unconditional love that welcomes us into the forever family, regardless of how messed up we are.
Tonight, before you tuck yourself in for the night, say a little prayer that God will give you the strength you need to accept people as they are, and to help us all be more understanding of those who are different from us!!!
There's a miracle called Friendship That dwells in the heart You don't know how it happens Or when it gets started But you know the special lift It always brings And you realize that Friendship Is God's most precious gift!
Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us.

HAIR CUTTING LEADS TO CANCER.
ACCORDING TO THE LATEST RESEARCH
1.TOBACCO . 2.UV RAYS . i.e. ULTRA VIOLET RAYS COMING FROM
Further study on UV rays proves that the entry of UV rays into the inner world of human body is much easier through cortex which is the inner part of hair and access through cortex is only possible when the natural protection provided by cuticle is removed or cut as can be seen in the picture here below.
HAIR IS IN CYLINDRICAL FORM
THE AMAZING DESIGN OF ITS OUTER ENVELOPE, WHICH IS THE CUTICLE, SERVES TO OFFER IT EXCELLENT PROTECTION. Once cut, it can never be joined hence providing a clear and easy approach for UV rays causing cancer.

There was an international AKJ smagam last week in
Any way next thing I see a special constable approaching. He said this person (a rail way worker) say you have a knife, so we explain it’s a kirpan singh wears a big one and handel was sticking out. Well the guy working at Euston station was on a fag break (having a smoke) we had gone outside to get away for it all and he saw us. He told a community support officer who came up to us saying we had a report you’re carrying a knife so we explained it’s a kirpan. Then tat guy came up to and we said we are in Sikh Dress (banna) and going to a religious function. We also explain how by law we are permitted anyway he suggested putting it in our bag which we said NO to saying we can’t remove it of our body. Then they asked if we are travelling on the train, I’m now thinking what else are we meant to be doing in Euston Station?
So cleared that up and got on our way they talked between them selves which we left them to. Then on the Virgin train as we where about to get of and change train a gora said to singh again ah you should keep that under raps, nice guy and he didn’t freak anyway we chatted with him as it was taking ages for the train to let us of. Then we ran to the platform for our connection train, holding our kirpans so they didn’t swing about. 3 singhs running for a train up north with kirpan can draw attention! We got on the train and sat down started. One station before derby a gori sitting opposite us got of and went to the office it was opposite our carriage. Seemed from her actions she was complaining reporting us for having kirpans. Pointing at us and her waist probably explaining about our kirpan, oh well we where of now anyway.
Finally got to
