Sikhi week is back with a vengeance!!
The West Midlands Sikh societies have got together to construct what
could
possibly be the greatest ever Sikhi week. Ever. 2004 is a momentous year
for
Sikhi, there are four major anniversaries taking place and the Sikhi
week
aims to try and cover them all!

In honour of Guru Angad Dev Ji's 500th Birth anniversary we will have a
special talk about their life and seva followed by a charity
prothathon! It
is only 3 pounds to enter (any extra sponsorship money is up to) and we
guarantee the most dhesi prothe ever made.The money raised will go to
the
Acorns Children Hospice in Birmingham.

floor
MC building. Wolverhampton Uni. 07974 438 337
Twenty years have passed since the Indian government stormed the Darbar
Sahib (Golden Temple) and countless other Gurdwaras across Punjab in
Operation Bluestar. This talk asks why did '84 happen, what abuses that
took
place and explain just why there has been no justice for Sikhs in India.

07732
523 630.
A soul stirring talk detailing the sacrifice of Guru Gobind Singh ji's
children to keep Sikhi alive. Guru ji sacrificed their father, their
wife
and all their children for the sake of Truth and Justice. It is hard not
to
be moved by the courage of the elder Sahibzade as they fought in
handfuls
against thousands of Mughal troops and the bravery of the younger
Sahibzade
as the Wazir Khan of Sirhand bricked them alive.
This will guarantee to leave you full of pride about your heritage.
Tuesday 17th February - GET HIGH. Guru Har Rai Gurdwara Sahib. West
Bromwich.
A Kirtan Darbar with Kirtan by young Sikhs for young Sikhs. Come and
gather
to sing the Guru's Word. Gurbani is the key to connecting with your
spirituality and its most powerful when it is sung in the Guru's Sangat.
There will be English translations of the Kirtan along with small talks
and
literature plus the traditional chips and pasta.Contact your uni if you
need
transport there.
Wednesday 18th February - ME NO UNDERSTANDING. Saint Francis Hall, Bham
Uni.
07739 024 063.
This will be a special Gurbani workshop session where guest speakers
will
come and lead small group discussions about Gurbani verses that they
feel
represent an important aspect of Sikhi. As we said before, Gurbani is
extremely powerful and unfortunately not many of us can understand it.
It is
hoped that this event will manage to bring across the beauty of Gurbani
in a
language we can understand and connect to our everyday lives.so anyone
who
says that they don't understand Gurbani cannot miss out on this!!
