i totally agree with kamal, gurdwara managment these days are with the people who are only intrested in using the funds for thier personal benefits rather using for neede persons and bro if you saw someone neede than you should have done something and i am always there for this. i beileve that everthing has been given by god blessing and one should help the person who needs help and thats the true sikh.

Would anyone of us prefer a gurudawara with a torn or bad condition Carpet... then many will crib to the highest extent.. so if some one is taking care of the carpet then others are taking care of the sick lady... Most important all this is done in the gurudawara only... 2. Langaars are always free to all.. rich poor homeless and for anyone.. don't you think huge amount of money effort and seva is spent on them...3. i agree wasting of food in NK is wrong.. but my fellow Friend pointing out did something to prevent it while attending NK or suggested it to the concerned people organising it ( taking out time of there busy schl....) 4. If this tradition would have not been alive from the last so man decades.. then the awareness would have not been possible to do the same NK in all other countries.. USA, UK, Canada to name a few.. Giving money to needy is good but that is not all, My suggestion is to all my fellow Friends should go to any gurudawara ( near or far) and do some kind of seva, maybe Jooda ghar or langgar.. i think that will mend there mind towards the understanding of Sikhism more.. and this not only my view but he views of all the people you see in NK in India or abroad... Stop saying Start doing... Kamal ( A soulful Sikh)... On Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 9:49 PM, harbinder malhotra <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: interesting to note how everyone adds a disclaimer!! Yes the money spent on one Nk can be utilised in many better ways.....one particular incident which comes to mind now that you mentioned rajouri is....couple of years back when i used to go to rajouri garden gurudwara everyday before work .....a lady used to sit near the shoe stall in winters on cold marble with her young son with a terminal illness seeking finacial aid.All that the Gurdwara could do to help her was to allow her to sit and seek alms from people which was coming in form of 10 rs notes or an occasional 50/100rs note .and at the same time the darbar hall of the gurdwara was being redone with wall to wall carpert removing perfectly fine old one.I did what I could do to best of my capacity but was particularly distressed at attiude of one of the richest Gurdwara's of the Capital ,which instead of helping the young mother was busy presenting sarapoa to the gentleman who had foot the bill of Rs three lacs for the carpet !!! --- On Tue, 25/11/08, Premjit Singh Chadha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Premjit Singh Chadha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: exghps1988v_v Re: Nagar KirtansTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Tuesday, 25 November, 2008, 9:24 PM I agree . religion is best in the religious places like gurudwara, temples or our houses.Apart from the traffic does anyone even evaluate the wastage of food which happens on such processions.My thoughts go to the one in rajouri where wastage of food is an understatement!!!Again my Personal Views !!!!
