NOTE FROM DYA SINGH

Dear nephews and nieces, parents and fellow Sewadars,

A Warm and affectionate Waheguru Fateh.

I am honoured to be involved in this Annual Sikh Youth Samelan (Camp) in Australia. I believe the reason why I have been invited is because I believe in an open-minded, active and 'user-friendly' Sikhi as I think Guru Nanak Dev Ji meant it to be - a tool for self-improvement, self-confidence and a sense of identity within a multicultural, multifaith and multi-racial world society. This is in contrast to a Sikhi which is 'Indian' and has in some cases, degenerated into being a prescription for rituals, like a number of other religions. I draw on my birth and upbringing in a Gursikh family, son of a Sikh Missionary and Gurmukhi teacher, in Malaysia and a very happy and valuable time with the Sikh Naujawan Sabha,Malaysia.

First and foremost, Sikhi believes very strongly in EQUALITY: whether you are from India, Malaysia, Australia, Kenya, England, USA or born in any other country; whether you are male or female; whether you are black, coloured or white; whether you are young, middle aged or old; whether you are fully conversant with Sikhi, carry out all Sikh disciplinary requirements, or don't; you know very little, or nothing about Sikhi; whether a person belongs to another faith, religion or way of life with the right to practice his/her faith or religion; AND whatever caste you belong to, a good Sikh does not look down upon 'anyone'.

This is the beginning to being a 'good Sikh in multicultural Australia'.

Beyond this we have all come together to learn a little more about ourselves as Sikhs, what Sikhi really is, make friends, and most importantly have a good time!!

I will tell you about my adventures with other Sikh and non-Sikh communities around the world singing Gurbani with a multi-racial group accompanied by my daughters who are all proud Sikhs - their personal 'world' Sikh identity. I will also share my thoughts with you about Sikhi and how Sikhi has made me what I am.

So, let the fun begin !!!!

Waheguru Ji's blessings be upon you.
(Uncle) Dya Singh

WALTZING MATILDA

Once a jolly swagman camped by a Billabong
Under the shade of a Coolabah tree
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"

CHORUS:
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
"Who'll come a-waltzing Maltida with me?"
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"
Down came a jumbuck to drink at the Billabong,
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me".
Up rode the Squatter mounted on his thoroughbred,
Down came the Troopers - one, two, three
"Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?",
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me".
Up jumped the swagman and jumped in that Billabong,
"You'll never catch me alive" said he,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that Billabong:
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"

GAME OF LOVE- JAU TAU PRAYM

Jau tau praym khaylan kaa chaa-o
Sir dhar talee galee mayree aa-o
It maarag pair dhareejai
Sir deejai kaan na keejai
- SGGS Pg. 20

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
- SGGS Pg. 1102

Accept death first, become the dust under the feet of others
(practice total humility), then come on my path Gagan damaamaa baaji-o,
pari-o neeshaanai ghaa-o
Khayt jo maandi-o soormaa,
ab joojan ko daa-o
Sooraa so pehichaanee-ai,
Jo larai deen kay hayt
Purjaa purjaa kat marai,
Kabahoo na chhaadai khayt
SGGS Pg. 1105

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.

DOHRA- AAGYA BHAYE AKAAL KEE

Aagya bhaye akaal kee
Tabhi chalaayo panth
Sabh Sikhan ko hukam hai
Guru maanyo Granth
Guru Granth jee maanyo
Pragat guraan kee deh
Jo prabh ko milbo chahe
Khoj shabad main ley
Raaj karegaa khalsa
Aakee rahe na koya
Khuar hoye sabh milenge
Bache sharan jo hoye

BOLE SO NIHAL,
SAT SRI AKAL

The order has come from the Eternal Lord, to follow the Panth,
The order to all Sikhs is to obey the Granth Sahib as Guru,
With faith in the Siri Guru Granth Sahib, the Guru's blessings become manifest.

One who wishes to meet God, is to look to the Shabad, the Word.
The Khalsa shall rule and no opposition shall be able to stand against it.
All those who meet together in humility will be under the Protection of God.

THEY WHO REPLY WILL BE BLESSED
THE TRUTH IS GREAT AND UNDYING

You are the Mother and the Father, we are Your children. In Your Mercy alone rests our every joy.
Ko-e na jaanai tumaraa ant. Oochay tay oocah bhagavant
No one knows Your Extent: You, O Waheguru, are the Highest of the high.
Sagal samagaree tumarai sootr dhaaree. Tum tay ho-e so aagi-aaa kaaree
All creation is at Your Command: From You comes the Order of Creation.
Tumaree gat mit tum hee jaanee. Nanak daas sadaa kurbaanee
Your Ways and Means are known only to you. Nanak, Your slave, is ever a sacrifice unto You.

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)

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

DISCUSSION TOPIC:
WESTERN, EASTERN OR IS THERE AN ALTERNATIVE 'COOL'?

As Sikhs we are never sure whether it is 'cool' to act like a Westerner or an Easterner. We get swayed by 'peer pressure' and feel a need to be 'cool' by smoking, drinking alcohol, taking drugs, being a 'party animal', going 'clubbing', listening to 'pop' music, hanging around in supermarkets wearing scanty clothes (girls) and grossly over-sized clothes (guys) and walking like American-African pop stars and giving high fives.

OR

We think we are 'cool' if we listen to loud 'bhangra' music, look like Shah Rukh Khan or Madhuri Dixit did in the most recent Bollywood movie, and keep up-to-date with the most recent Bollywood gossip and movies!

The quick answer to that is BE A COOL KHALSA! Do your own 'thing' and be proud of it. Find your own 'Sikh' identity.

Below is a general comparison and an insight of the philosophical differences in attitude between Westerners and Easterners. What is the ideal? Make up your own mind.

GOLDEN RULES OF SIKHI

NAAM JAPNAI

Naam Marag emphasizes daily devotion to the remembrance of Waheguru. "Meditation of the Lord is the highest of all deeds: through which myriads obtain release, through which the thirst (of desire) is quenched: through which one becomes all knowing: through which the fear of death goes away: through which all desires are fulfilled: through which the dirt of the mind is cleansed as the nectar of "Waheguru Naam" is absorbed in the mind"
Guru Nanak, Raag Gauri Sukhmani

VAND SHAKNA

Vand Shakna: Sharing with others is also a social responsibility. The individual is expected to help others in need through charity. "He who eats what he earns through his honest labour, and from his hand gives something in charity; he also, O Nanak, knows the true ways of life"
Guru Nanak, Raag Sarang, pg. 1245

KIRT KARNEE

It is considered honourable to earn one's daily bread through honest work and not by begging or dishonest means.

BASIC NAAM SIMREN AND GURSANGEET

MOMENTS OF REFLECTION

Ten dollars look so big when we take it to the Gurudwara,
But so small when we take it to the store.

60 minutes is long when we are sitting in the Gurudwara,
But short when shopping, playing or watching T.V.

We believe what a person or newspaper says,
But question what Guru Ji says.

We can't think of anything to say when we pray,
But don't have any difficulty when we gossip.

We need 2 or 3 weeks to fit a prayer/kirtan event into our schedule,
But have no problem adjusting for a social event at the last minute.

We get thrilled when a football game goes into extra time,
But complain when a Gurudwara service takes longer than usual.

We scramble to get a front row seat at a bhangara concert,
But look for a back row seat at the Gurudwara.

It is diffcult to share Guru Ji's words with others,
But simple to spread rumours.

MY ANSWERED ARDAS

I asked WAHEGURU for Strength
And WAHEGURU gave me difficulties to make me strong.

I asked WAHEGURU for Wisdom
And WAHEGURU gave me Problems to solve.

I asked WAHEGURU for Prosperity
And WAHEGURU gave me Brain and Brawn to work.

I asked WAHEGURU for Courage
And WAHEGURU gave me Danger to overcome.

I asked WAHEGURU for Love
And WAHEGURU gave me Troubled people to help.

I asked WAHEGURU for Favours
And WAHEGURU gave me Opportunities.

I RECEIVED NOTHING I WANTED
I RECEIVED EVERTHING I NEEDED
