http://www.sikhnet.com/dvd - In the video SSS Harbhajan Singh Khalsa (Yogi Bhajan) starts by talking about just "being" a Sikh verses experiencing and living as a Sikh (He related this in the terms he called "Concept" and "Conception"). He then talks about how Sikhs have been betrayed by the so called "Sikh Leadership" and how youth should not rely on them and BECOME the leaders themselves. He shares inspiring experiences from his youth before the partition of India when he was part of creating the All India Sikh Student Federation. He explains how the youth worked together and formed a powerful force with Sikhi as a base and through trust, honesty, equality. He shares the ingredients of what made this work and how youth of today can do this as well.

The experience left me humbled and wondering what do they know, which I don't, those who walk with such, humility dignity and poise. This, I now know is due to western Sikhs have far greater knowledge of Sikhi. I am very grateful to Sikhnet for giving me and family access to their wisdom, because I get the answers which I do not get elsewhere. Please keep the good work!!! __________________________________________________
a110ne  2008-03-12 18:47:36 Bhai Sahib, I wish to share this with you. Growing up in UK in 70 and 80, at the time as child I heard it expressed western Sikhs are merely fashion journeyman, they will fade out. Now I am forty and my experience is that I am humbled by the western Sikhs knowledge of Sikhi. I am on my own journey as Sikh, I have myself stared at western Sikhs, it happen to me as I was sitting in Toronto central station in 2002, saw four western Sikhs dressed in white,two gentlemen & two ladies walking through> __________________________________________________

Dervi5h  2008-03-07 20:23:06 I do smile and I am aware it is my perception. I guess I have never experienced this before but I am kind of glad I felt that way. I can now better understand what it is like to feel out of place and a minority in an akward situation. I guess it is the culture shock stacked on top. I will use this as a positive experience. Thanks for replying. __________________________________________________
