I am really saddened regarding the issues that are taking place in the sikh society today.

We are not going to last as a religion for very long if we carry on like this. We have started making rediciulous rules at adhoc times(alienating the youth). The true fact that the issue has arisen is due to the gurdwara's losing money to rogue granthi's.

I am a very spiritual sikh but i do my own interpertations according to what my heart tells me is right. As guru nanak made his opinon on issues regarding giving water to the moon and praying east to mecca. i believe that the sikhs are wrong for preaching such unacceptable rules. What happened for the last 300 years!! why is it so important now?? Why make big and expensive temples when you can spend the money taking care of the community. Build a sports centre encourage children into sports.

the gurdwara/granthi(in india and UK) seem like the new age catholic church where people are out for their own good. In India if they realise you are from the abroad they sideline the locals for you. Here in the UK all the rich people control the temples.

My recent experiences about granthi's in Hmv looking at porn videos and stealing money from Akhand paths and perving at woman at gurdwara. Has alienated me more and more from going to the temple, i feel more righteous praying from home.

If we dont watch out we will not have many sikhs left in the world. The next generation will not care as they will be disillusioned. The young kids are not stupid they know what goes on even though they dont seem to care too much.

Why dont the gurdwara care about the sikh society, taking the kids off the street and helping the poor and suffering. Why waste the time and effort of the 40 sikhs who went on rampage in Slough. Whereas they can spend their time minding the schools where young girls are put on drugs and then put for prostitution. There is a bigger emphasis on why the 40 sikhs went on rampage in Slough and that is MONEY.

That is the view of me and of all the young people i have talked to. I feel Sickened that someone special day got spoilt because of this false pretence.
