Morcha Against the Ban of Kirpan at Rochester Gurduaaraa S.

Khalsa jee,

A morcha against the ban of kirpan at Rochester Gurduara has been organized by sangat from New York, Syracuse, Buffalo, Pennsylvania and Canada. It will be a demonstration in the form of keertan on Sunday, August 15th, 11:00am to 2:00pm at Gurdwara of Rochester, 2041 Dublin Road, Penfield, NY 14526.

Please see details below:
-We will sit outside of the Gurdwara on the road and on the Gurdwara's front Lawn.
-Nice heavy rugs will be layed down to sit on.
-We have contacted the head of the police department of Penfield. They will help us by either closing the road or at least by closing half the road.
-Some people will hold the demonstration signs in their hands while sitting.
-Langar will be brought and served there after the Kirtan.
-Weather will be checked the day before, if signs of rain, then tents will be setup otherwise we will sit just out in the open.

Please see http://thelangarhall.com/usa/amritdharis-banned-from-gurdwara-in-rochester/for more information on the issue.

Chardee Kalaa jee.

ੴਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹ॥

ਗੁਰੂ ਪਿਆਰੇ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਜੀੳ,

ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ। ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹ॥

here is the news coverage for the peaceful Keertan recitation. Daas missed this opportunity because I did not know that even AKJ Toronto was participating in this event. Now as per the latest news the management is reconsidering the ban on Kirpaan. Do not know yet when court will completely reverse it's first decision but daas hopes Gursikh sangat's efforts will be paid off.

With Regards,
Daas

To use my sister's favorite word,"drama" going on in most gurdwaras today, killings in California gurdwaras...so why not just walk alone in one's own home that we have been blessed with and avoid the drama?
It is the loss of the confused sikhs to deny our purehearted Gursikhs, who are the most deserving of Guruji's darshan, in the Rochester gurdwara. Life is a cycle, they will have to face the consequences of their dire actions.
Afterall we are all just puppets of the Great Puppeteer who causes conflicts and brings peace, but we have to stay focused on real purpose of being here...

Has the ban be reversed yet ? great to see morchea in the olden day style of peace and gurbani etc, to many morchea nowdays turn ugly and create bad press for the sikh community...
