This is ridiculous, this is not right, like those trustees actually did this, this is weird if their sikh, why would they put a restriction so that certain sikhs can come. Why would they do such a thing. Are they trying to make money or something, this is just cheap and disgusting.

Yes!, i live in the Roc and this shit has been going on for the past year.. it's sad to see people of your own race and culture fight over stupid shit for no apparent reason. Its nowhere of being resolved either and just gets worse as the days go on. theres mad baisti to families here, people even stopped going to the gw, ridiculous..cops have been called to the gw as well which has been the most disrespect to the house and it's baba jis.. sad stuff but this has been going on forever now.. so idk

I fully Agree bro, actually it all started between two families and it was over money and the spending of the gw money and property. people were being mad shady and kept secrets about where as the money was going and wouldn't tell anyone else to why all the money being collected was disappearing.. so it is cheap and disgusting stuff

Gurudwara politics is always there..and theres always gonna be problems..

Read in between the lines my friends...well in this case you don't even have to:

"It should be remembered that it is the same Gurdwara, where after a conspiratorial distortion of Prof Darshan Singh’s CD a complaint was sent against him to Akal Takhat."

Wow, so unnecessary...especially because a gurdwara is supposed to be open to anyone, regardless of religion, class, gender, political relations, etc. Now, the world has to see sikhs being banned from a gurdwara? stupid

im not surprised the gurudwara we have in Madrid, Spain is not legal either.... we are all doing it like a secret thing...
on sundays when we do the langar we have to be careful not a lot of people come in at the same time, we dont have a nishan sahib or anythign outside saying its a worship place...

its sad... and years back we used to have to meet in friends houses to do nitnem together and make some karha prashad...we are a minority after all...
