Chabeel Week 2015 - Introducing Chardi Kala To The World!

Many questions are raised about Dasam Granth Sahib and often these cast doubt in to the average Sikhs mind. This talk casts a critical eye at the accusations commonly made.Much of the information is from respected Punjabi speakers like Giani Sher Singh ji and Sardar Gurcharan Singh Lamba from Vancouver. This talk is within the "Not just the basics" playlist in our channel. Talk was given at celebrations for Prakash Divas of Sri Guru Gobind Singh ji organised by the Nihang Singh Jathas in the UK at Gurdwara Nanaksar Thaat in Wolverhampton. Many thanks for their invitation.

Khalsa Raj Part #2 Of 3 - Ideas For India And Sikh PMC?

Please comment below sensibly and appropriately. Should the Sikhs be petitioning the UK Home Minister, Theresa May, to regulate the carrying of the Sikh Kirpan? This is an important issue for the Sikh community, especially the Khalsa in the UK. Giani Sukha Singh from the Sikh Helpline, joins us to share his views.

Response To Kirpan Petition Theresa May - With Giani Sukha Singh Of Sikh Helpline

Real Talk - Compilation of three talks responding to the burning of our father, Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj, the embodiment of Almighty God on earth, on Monday 1 December 2014 at village Jodhpur, district Tarn Taran, Punjab.   This is the latest incident in a catalogue of attacks perpetrated against Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.  When we look at such beadbi (disrespect), what should the response of the UK Sikhs be? What was the Gurus response to such things happening to us?Do we even have an appropriate level of respect of SGGSji in Gurdwaras in the UK?
