Note from Dya Singh Ji

Dear Oz Sikh Youth Camp (Sydney) year 2004 participants, facilitators, sponsors, sewadhars, parents and guests,

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH!

Welcome to this years 'samelan' in Sydney, Australia. Once again we look forward to a week of excitement, fun and some self-improvement, the Sikhi way.

Remember, enjoyment of socialising, sports and other fun activities is enhanced a thousandfold if we also discipline ourselves to carry out our daily routine, and with punctuality.

What is the self-improvement daily routine at the camp which must extend to your home when you get back?
1 Getting up early and taking a bath
2 Doing Naam Simran and Nitnam
3 Kirtan - doing and listening
4 Learning how to do 'Path' (reading gurbani). Letting it become an integral part of your life by first doing, listening and absorbing it, then beginning to understand it and finally living by it.

This year the theme is : Who is my Guru? (Guru maneo Granth) Our week will be used in understanding our Guru Ji a little better and getting closer to Him.

The responsibility of learning and improving yourself is entirely up to you. We can only provide the information and the example.

Taking the views of past participants, the daily programme allows a great deal of time for you to 'have fun' but bearing in mind that you have come here to learn a little more about your faith and towards self-improvement.

This year we shall have a Kirtan competition and also a Quiz competition. Information and rules on both will be provided and prizes will be given out.

So, let us have a very fulfilling week at the Australian Sikh Youth Camp, Sydney for year 2004.

Waheguru Ji's blessings and Cherdhi Kala

Dya Singh

What is in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib. Guru Arjan Dev Ji explains:-

In this platter are placed three ingredients
Truth, Contentment and Contemplation
Into this is poured the nectar of Naam
Who is the support of all
Those who partake of this dish and relish it
Will be emancipated (Mundavni M.5 - Pg. 1429)

In Salok M. 5, the final salok in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib - 'Tera kita jato naahi…', Guru Arjan Dev Ji thanks Waheguru for giving him the will and sewa to complete the writing of the Aadh Granth.

I have no knowledge of your doings O,Waheguru Ji. Yet you have made me worthy of Your service (in the completion of this task of compiling Your Word).
I am meritless, nor with any virtues. Yet you have taken pity on me.
You have shown mercy and blessed me with this task.
I have now met with the True Guru Ji.
Nanak, I am blessed with Waheguru's Naam, then alone does my body and soul blossom forth.

Theme of Camp:

Who is My Guru? - Mera Guru Kaun Han?

What makes me a Sikh?

1. My parents are Sikhs.

2. My second name or Surname is 'Singh' (for males) or 'Kaur'(for females).

3. I pray to One God who is called 'Satnaam' (The True Name) or 'Waheguru' (Wonderous Lord) in Sikhi.

4. I go regularly to a 'Sikh House of prayer, worship and meeting' called a 'Gurdwara' (The 'house' of the Guru). I bow and touch my forehead on the ground as a sign of respect to Waheguru (metha taik) before our altar which houses the word of God, the embodiment of our ten Guru Ji's (spiritual masters), called the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

5. I get up before the sun comes up and recite my prayers which are called NAAM SIMREN and NIT NEM.

    Amrit vela sach nau, vedayay vichar.

6. I listen (and also sing if I can) 'Gurbani Kirten' regularly. This is the singing of Sikh hymns and is a form of Sikh meditation.

7. I live by the teachings of, and life examples set by, our ten Guru Ji's and 'gurbani' as embodied in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

8. My mother tongue is Punjabi. The language of our Guru Ji's is called Gurmukhi.


Sikhi teaches me to:

… recognise the divinity of Waheguru (the Infinite Intelligence) within me and how I can invoke this divine power within me to lead a successful and fruitful life.

… live in a state of 'Cherdhi Kala'. To be in a state of optimism and high spirits. To always think positive and never get depressed. Not to succumb to peer pressure, but perhaps be a trend-setter!

…do 'sewa' (selfless service) unto my fellow human beings because service unto my fellow human beings is service unto God. Being conscious of the well-being of others always engenders my own well-being and that of those who are nearest and dearest to me.

   Nanak naam cherdhi kala, Tere Bhanay serbat dha bhela


Why do I need to be a Sikh?

It is my personal identity worldwide and within Australia. In the world wide community of human beings, I identify myself as an Australian Sikh. In the national identity of Australians, I belong to the SIKH community.

It is an indication of the principles - religious, spiritual, moral and social - to which I adhere.

It is simply an indication of MY way of life within the wider community of Australians and the even wider community of the human race. My community is part of the Diversity of communities that exists in Australia and in the world.


The Essence of Sikhism
To seek God, to find God and to be united with God

Naam Jaapo (Meditation)

A Sikh is to practice Naam Simran. It means remembering and reciting the Divine (God) at all times, by singing His praises and letting His love dwell within our hearts. A Sikh should also do Nitnam (daily prayers) and recite/listen to Gurbani (Scriptures).


Benefits

- A Sikh who does Naam Jaap attains inner peace and happiness.
- Naam Jaap brings one nearer to God.
- Through Naam Jaap one attains salvation.
- Just say it: the Gur Mantar (Waheguru) and contemplate on the word Waheguru.


How

- Recite the Gur Mantar aloud or silently in our mind.
- Everyone can practice Naam Simran at all times and everywhere (while walking, traveling, jogging, etc)


Say It

Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru


Kirt Karo (Working)

A Sikh does not renounce the world. He earns his living by honest means and by the sweat of his brow.


Wand Shako (Sharing)

A Sikh lovingly shares the fruit of his labour with others. A Sikh shares by giving Daswand and performing sewa.


The Fundamental Sikh Commandments

The Beliefs

1. The belief in One God.
2. The belief in the Guru.
3. The belief in the Guru Granth Sahib.
4. The belief in freedom.
5. The belief in democracy.

Rules of Conduct

1. Life of honesty.
2. Life of truth.
3. Life of restraint.
4. Life of householder.
5. Life of piety.

Self-Discipline

Be able to control:
1. Kam - Passion
2. Karod - Anger
3. Lob - Greed
4. Moh - Attachment
5. Hankar - Pride

As a teenager, I wish to experience life to the fullest. To ensure this, I do not wish to be sucked down into 'peer pressure'. I am a 'sher' (lion/lioness), not a lamb. I am a trend-setter, not a trend follower. I am a leader, but I do know how to follow when needed. Here are some important 'truths' to give me direction in life.

1.In Charge

I am in charge of 'me' under Waheguru Ji's guidance. I am in control of the vast resources of my mind but with Waheguru Ji's grace . I 'choose' to think good, happy thoughts about myself, my family, my friends and everyone who comes into contact with me. I like 'me'. If I love myself, then I can love everyone else.

2. Trustworthy

I like being responsible, reliable and trustworthy. I take responsibility for my actions, emotions, thoughts and attitudes and I can be counted upon.

3. Problem Solving

A problem is an opportunity in disguise. When I know that Waheguru Ji is on my side, how can a problem harm me?

Jis ka sahib dada hovai, tis nu mar na sakai koe
"He/she whose master (Waheguru) is strong, how can he/she be harmed?"

Tati vau la lagaiyi, ParBrahm sherenayi
"I do not succumb to problems and hardships, Waheguru is my Sanctuary."

4. My Best

I do not demand perfection of myself but I expect to give my 'best' - and that is what I receive in return! I have great qualities, talents, skills. I need to discover them and utilise them in bettering myself and others.

5. Non-Judgmental & Non-Envious

I am non-judgmental of others. I do not criticise others because they do not measure up to the standards I set for myself or defer from my lifestyle. I do not envy those who seem to be better off than I am, because envy of others is a negative factor in my positive outlook towards life and a limitation of my own aspirations. What I wish and think of and feel about others will manifest in my own experience.

6. Mistakes

I expect to make mistakes. I am not perfect; I learn from my mistakes and do not repeat them. I do not need to make excuses for my shortcomings.


Extracts from Rehat Maryada (Sikh Code of Conduct)

The Sikh Code of Conduct was deliberated upon for over a decade from 1931 by most of the top Sikh scholars and Sikh institutions of the time and finally passed in 1941. Copies of the Rehat Maryada (as authorised by Akal Takhat) are widely available. It is the duty of all Sikhs to have knowledge of its contents. These are a few pointers (not referred to elsewhere in this Guide book) for encouraging discussion and discourse at camp.

(b) A Sikh's son/daughter must be married to a Sikh.
(c) A Sikh's marriage should be solemnised by Anand Karaj rites. ...
(k) Persons professing faiths other than the Sikh faith cannot be joined in wedlock by the Anand Karaj ceremony. ... (Chapter 11, Article 18)


From a Sikh to a Khalsa - AMRIT

I want to become a son/daughter of Guru Gobind Singh Ji!
To show that I mean it, I shall make the first commitment to my spiritual father and Guide,
Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, as he requires.


(1) I SHALL KEEP MY HAIR

I shall keep my hair clean and tie a 'dastaar' (turban) in public.
Meanwhile I shall start by getting up at Amritvela, the ambrosial hours and doing Naam Simran and as much Nitnam as I know and can.
I now belong to my father, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji and mother, Mata Sahib Kaur Ji.
They watch over me and guide me.
I shall aspire to do what is expected of me by my father and which will make him proud of me. I shall refrain from actions which will disappoint him.
I shall read and understand the 'Rehat' Maryada approved by the Guru Khalsa Panth.


(2) I SHALL RESPECT & WEAR THE REMAINING 4 'K'S'

KARA
KANGA
KIRPAN
KACHERA


(3) NAAM-SIMREN & NITNEM

a. I shall ensure that I get up early and do Naam Simran while carrying out my ablutions.
b. I shall aspire to do all five prescribed 'bani's' ultimately. I could progressively build to that stage depending on my circumstances and fluency of doing Path. The full prescribed Nitnem is: At amritvela : Jap Ji Sahib, Jaap Sahib and Sawayiyay In the evening : Rehraas and on retiring for the night - Sohila.
c. I shall on occasions also do the full Anand Sahib, Sukhmani Sahib and 'Path' from the Sri Guru Granth sahib.


(4) I SHALL REFRAIN FROM THE USE OF TOBACCO

a. I shall not partake of liquor, any other intoxicants or drugs unless medically prescribed.
b. I shall not eat meat slaughtered in a ritualistic way. Ideally, if I do eat meat, it should be 'jhatka'.
c. In general, I shall not do anything or eat/drink/inhale any substance which is ruinous to my health.


(5) I SHALL BE A LAW-ABIDING CITIZEN OF THE COUNTRY I LIVE IN

(6) I ASPIRE TO BE A SANT-SIPAHI

I shall look after my health, be physically fit, and learn how to defend myself so that I can also go to the aid of someone in distress. I am a Saint-Soldier of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji.

I am ready to take Amrit. I want to become a Khalsa.


THE KHALSA ANTHEM-DAYH SHIVAA

1. Dayh Shivaa bar mo-eh ihai,

GAME OF LOVE- JAU TAU PRAYM

Jau tau praym khaylan kaa chaa-o

Sir dhar talee galee mayree aa-o

Sir deejai kaan na keejai

If you desire to play the game of love, come this way with your head on your palm,
Once you have stepped on this path, be prepared to offer your head as sacrifice and fear not public opinion

Pehilaa maran kabool,

jeevan kee chhad aas

Ho-o sabhanaa kee raynukaa,

Tau aa-o hamaari paas

Accept death first, become the dust under the feet of others
(practice total humility), then come on my path

Gagan damaamaa baaji-o,

ab joojan ko daa-o

Sooraa so pehichaanee-ai,

Jo larai deen kay hayt

Purjaa purjaa kat marai,

Kabahoo na chhaadai khayt

The battle drum beats, aim is taken. The warrior enters the battlefield
- it is time for combat. He alone is a true warrior, who fights for his 'dheen'
(universal principles such as Truth, Justice, Love, Equality, Harmony, Charity and so on).
Though cut to pieces he deserts not the battlefield.


PRAYER BEFORE FOOD

1. Dhedha Daataa ek hai sabhko devanhaar

2. Dhendhe tot na aava-ee agant bhare bhandar

3. Jis daa ditaa khavana tis kaheeai saabas

4. Nanak hukam na chalaee naal khasam chalai ardaas


      1. One Waheguru gives to all His creations

      2. When Waheguru gives, He gives without restrictions and has abundance of everything (for everyone)

      3. Let us thank Waheguru ji whose gifts of food we eat.

      4. Nanak says, with Waheguru, only humble supplications are fulfilled and not commands


Taatee Vaa-o Na Laga-ee

1. Taatee vaa-o na laga-ee, paarbrahm samaa-ee.

2. Chaugirad hamaarai raam kaar, dukh lagai na bhaa-ee.

      1. The one, over whose head You are, O Lord-master; How can that one suffer pain?
         2. Intoxicated with the wine of Maya, the mortal does not know how to speak; and he does not think of death.
3. O my Lord-King; You belong to the Saints, and the Saints belong to You.
      4. Your servant has nothing to fear; because the messenger of death does not approach him.
      5. They who are imbued with Your Love, O Lord-Master; have their pains of birth and death removed.

8. Seeking Your Shelter and Your Support; They overcome the five villains.
      9. I do not know Divine Wisdom, meditation or the performance of good deeds. I do not appreciate Your Worth.
      10. Greatest of all is the True Guru Nanak; Who has saved my honour in this Dark Age of Kali Yuga.
