Building Progress Update

Security: The committee is looking to secure the premises by installing a

lockable gate at the entrance, as there have been a number of incidents

whereby the people from the Club next door have wandered onto the premises

late at night. This will also be enhanced with a full security package for the

Page 5

Gurudwara building in terms of an alarm system complimented by CCTV

cameras.

Lighting: The light fittings for the dining hall have now been completed and you

will hopefully have noticed the vast improvement!

As is normal with building projects in Temples, we are in need for volunteers to

come and help us. This includes painting, general labour, landscaping and

gardening etc; or if you have a particular skill that you feel we can benefit

from, please came and talk to us.

And finally, the Building Committee and the Management Committee would like

to thank everyone who has helped, and continuing to do so, with the various

building works to date.

Kirtan Events at Gurudwara Sahib

Bhai Inderjit Singh Ji from Derby enlightened the Sangat with Kirtan and

Katha on Sunday 11 January 2009 to celebrate the Avtar

Divas of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. Bhai Sahib shared a lot

of knowledge with the Sadh Sangat on the life of Guru

Gobind Singh Ji and the values of living a life of truth and

the teachings we need to ingrain into our youngsters for

Sikhi to flourish.

Dr Paramjit Singh Hunjan made visits to Gurudwara Sahib

in February and early April. He studied music at

university in Punjab and all that learning showed through

in his performance of Kirtan and Katha.

Vaisakhi – “Birth of Khalsa” - Celebrations at RSMK

On Sunday 19th April, hundreds of Sikhs with guests attended at the Sikh

Temple to celebrate Vaisakhi.

Akhand path had commenced on Friday morning and ended early Sunday morning

with continuous reciting of gurbani from the Guru Granth Sahib. After the

Ardas, Giani Ji led the Sadh Sangat in reciting shabads.

Shortly afterwards, the Panj Piare made an entrance to the worship hall. The

Panj Piare looked

so grand and

outstanding, they

were wearing

identical outfits,

which consisted of

a blue turban with

a shining khanda,

orange kurta with

white bottoms,

blue belt, small

kirpan, white

scarf and carried a full length kirpan. The ardas was done after the Panj Piare

had paid their respects to Guru Ji. The Panj Piare then did a jakara each. The

Sadh Sangat then followed the Panj Piare downstairs to the Nishan Sahib.

Before the ceremony ardas was done. The flagpole was lowered and the Nishan

Sahib robe was removed, along with the Khanda and the Sikh flag (Nishan

Sahib). All the Sangat

participated in washing

the flagpole with yoghurt

and milk, then covered it

with oil, to prevent rust.

The flagpole was then

dried and a clean cover of

the Khanda and Nishan

Sahib was added to

replace the old which

symbolises the

rededication of every

Sikh to the faith. During this session, prayers were sung by many of the Sadh

Sangat and the Panj Piare did continuous siMr.an of Waheguru. The newly

Page 7

dressed flagpole was raised once the prayers and ardas had been completed.

The atmosphere was very energetic, lively and colourful.

The Sadh Sangat

returned to the

worship hall and

thereafter shabads

were sung by Giani

Ji. Giani Ji described

the events of

Vaisakhi in 1699.

Giani Ji had

enlightened some of

the Sangat as some

had become

emotional with tears

coming down. It was

amazing how the Panj Piare dedicated their life to Guru Gobind Singh Ji and

how faithful they were to the Sikh faith. The point that Giani Ji put forward

was that very few people would sacrifice their head. The five true devotees

(Bhai Daya Singh, Bhai Dharam Singh, Bhai Himmat Singh, Bhai Mohkam Singh

and Bhai Sahib Singh) offered their lives to the Guru unhesitatingly. They did

not question the wisdom or the authority of the Guru who asked the

congregation to offer the lives for the noble cause. Guru Gobind Singh Ji gave

them the title of "BELOVED FIVE".

During the celebrations, prizes were awarded to the Punjabi teachers for their

dedication in teaching Punjabi and Sikhism. Further prizes were given to

students who participated in the Public speaking contest. It was a wonderful

and memorable day of celebration!

Something in the Chips!

A “chips and beans supper” is fast becoming the cornerstone of the weekly

Punjabi classes. They certainly seem to be keeping the student‟s alert (or is it

the teachers...)?

Students of various ages took to the stage again for their latest presentation

as part of the Gurudwara‟s efforts to celebrate Vaisakhi.

As with the previous two presentations the underlying intention was to deliver

more than just simple entertainment for the Sangat.

Various learning objectives were set for the students, who in turn had been

hard at work perfecting them in the run up to the presentation.

Page 8

The main focus set down by the presentation organisers was Punjabi

pronunciation. The presentation proved that the children continue to improve

their pronunciation and vocabulary.

The Punjabi class teachers and presentation organisers also aimed to focus the

children into looking at the Vaisakhi celebration and meaning in more depth.

This was done by explaining the Sikh symbols, their relevance and also by giving

examples of the attributes and purpose of being a true Sikh rather than the

more common aesthetic ideals that we all blindly succumb and falsely aspire to.

On the day this was presented well using an easy to understand, children‟s

story telling format which explained the notion of „Khalsa‟.

Ongoing improvements in the children‟s shabad singing were also evident in the

singing of Vaho Vaho Gobind Singh Ji and Deh Shiva.

The Sangat appreciated the effort made by the students and positive feedback

was communicated by numerous attendees.

A well deserved THANK YOU goes out to all the students that took part.

New faces are always welcome to come and sample chips (recommended…) or

take part in the more serious business of Punjabi classes held on each Monday

6pm to 7pm. (All levels, ages and abilities welcome).

Community Liaison

SAI BABA ORGANISATION – 24 hours devotional singing for world peace:

“Unity in Thought, Word and Deed”

An invitation was received by Mr. M S Kundal inviting the Sikhs to participate in

the devotional singing for 24 hours in aid of world peace on 8th and 9th

November 2008. Most of the inter-faith communities in Milton Keynes

participated. We were given a one hour slot on the Sunday morning. Mr. M. S.

Kundal, Mr. H. S. Chaggar, Mr. T. S. Chaggar, Mr. P. S. Obhi and Mrs. K. K. Obhi

took part on behalf of Ramgarhia Sabha Gurudwara, Sikh Community. Singing of

Shabads was followed by a live interview on various aspects of Sikhism on

Page 9

Three Counties Radio. This was held at St John Ambulance Hall in Furzton,

Milton Keynes.

SACRE MEETING AT RSMK GURUDWARA - 27TH Feb 2009

SACRE is the Standing Advisory Committee on Religious Education in Schools,

MK Council. Committee meetings are normally held in Civic Offices, Schools,

places of worship in rotation. The meeting was held at RSMK Gurudwara at the

request of SACRE. It was organised by Mr.s Kuldeep Kaur Obhi in collaboration

with the Management Committee of RSMK. The meeting was held in the dining

hall and was attended by representatives from various religious denominations,

Teachers, Councilor J Irons and an administrative staff member from MK

Council.

After the formal business of the meeting special thanks were extended to the

Management of RSMK for the use of the facilities. Members attending were

shown around the Gurudwara and the Prayer Hall upstairs. A brief talk was

given by Mr.s K K Obhi about basic principles of Sikhism and numerous

questions were answered.

Refreshments were also organised and served to the SACRE members.

Mr. and Mr.s Obhi at a recent

presentation on Sikhism to a

class of school children at St

Frank Markham School. A turban

tying demonstration was

watched with great intrigue and

received with enthusiasm by a

member of the class!

Sports Update

Good news for our sports enthusiasts! The management committee has

considered the proposals put forward by the Sports and Social committee and

approved the funding for a fully fitted gym, The gym machines are bespoke and

are tailor made for our requirements. The cost of this project is currently in

the region of £3600. Additional cost will be for free weights and mats to

compliment the gym equipment. The equipment will be permanently fixed on the

far end of the sports hall. The following machines will be provided:

Flat/Incline Bench

Leg Extension

Page 10

Lat Machine

Pec Fly

There will be a small charge to use the equipment. A list of opening times and

the charge is in the process of being finalised. Look out for further information

on the Gurudwara Sahib notice board.

We have also secured the services of a fully qualified martial arts teacher.

Classes will be starting very soon.

If you would like to learn self defence please speak to a member of the sports

committee, or management committee for details. As students progress, they

will be given the opportunity to attain grading levels through examinations and

even participate in tournaments! Classes will be free! The only cost to you is

your dedication and interest.

The football side of things is on hold for the moment. We need to ensure we

have the right type of playing surface. As you can see from the treasurer‟s

report, we are looking to get the car park re-surfaced and an area surfaced for

us to be able to play sports on. This is a major project which will require a

significant amount of funding. All donations for this will be greatly appreciated.

PUNJABI CLASS – A Mother/Teacher perspective.

I have been involved with Punjabi Classes now for about 2 years. I began

attending as a parent initially to ensure my children were going to behave

during class – they can be a handful! I also thought it would be a good

opportunity for me to brush up on my Punjabi. Through my attendance I was

gradually coaxed into helping out more with the teaching side of things and

covering for teachers. As the studentship began to grow I found myself

teaching the beginners class. Whether I am teaching them the alphabet,

phrases, history or we are just having a debate, teaching and working with the

children and ensuring their needs are meet (and their parents) for me is fun,

enjoyable and very rewarding and not forgetting to mention challenging!

Monday evenings has now successfully become part of my family‟s routine. It

allows us to go to the Gurudwara once a week (Sundays is not always possible

for us), to be able to do regular sewa and also socialise with other members of

the community. It‟s been a great way of meeting other mums for me and the

children have also made many friends.

I enjoy teaching the children, it is a fulfilling role especially when you realise

how passionate some of the children are about learning their mother tongue,

wishing to be able to converse in it and wanting to learn more about the origins

of their religion and the teachings of our Gurus. It gives me immense pride in

our children as it is undertaken in their own time after school. It is also

Page 11

refreshing to see dedicated and supportive parents who ensure the children

attend regularly and stay to help with the domestics. It‟s a real community

venture.

I do take my role seriously and teaching them brings about a great sense of

responsibility as the children of today are the future of Sikhi.

Health Watch – High Cholesterol

Two in three adults have a cholesterol level that is higher than recommended.

Having high cholesterol affects your heart and blood vessels and increases your

risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Symptoms:

A high cholesterol level may only be revealed if you develop symptoms of heart

disease. Sometimes, yellow patches (known as xanthomas) may develop around

your eyes or elsewhere on your skin - these are cholesterol deposits and

indicate that you have high cholesterol levels in your blood

Complications of high cholesterol

There is an increased risk of heart disease, arterial disease and strokes. Your

GP will discuss possible complications of high cholesterol with you.

Causes of high cholesterol

There are several factors that may contribute to you having high blood

cholesterol. These include:

a diet high in saturated fat and cholesterol

a lack of exercise

Page 12

family history - you're more likely to have high cholesterol if you have

a close male relative aged under 55 or a female relative aged under 65

affected by heart disease

being overweight

age and gender - your cholesterol levels generally rise with increasing

age, and men are more likely to be affected than women

drinking more than the recommended daily amount of alcohol

Other conditions such as poorly controlled diabetes, certain kidney and liver

diseases, and an under active thyroid may also cause high cholesterol.

Treatment of high cholesterol

There are two ways to help lower high cholesterol. The first is with lifestyle

changes including changing your diet, managing your weight and increasing

exercise. The second is to combine lifestyle changes with cholesterol-lowering

medicines.

Self-help

Healthy eating can reduce cholesterol. Your diet should be low in saturated

fats in particular, and low in fat overall. Biscuits, cakes, pastries, red meat,

hard cheese and butter all tend to be high in saturated fats, so cut down on

these foods.

Large amounts of cholesterol

are found in some foods,

including eggs and offal such as

liver and kidneys. It's also

important to eat plenty of fibre,

especially soluble fibre, which is

thought to lower cholesterol.

Soluble fibre is found in fruits

and vegetables, beans and oats.

Aim to eat at least five portions

of fruit and vegetables each day

If you're overweight, an excess

weight loss plan may help you to

reduce your Cholesterol levels.

Increasing your physical activity

may enhance the cholesterol-lowering effects of diet.

As high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease, you should reduce

any additional risk of developing heart disease, eg by stopping smoking.

Page 13

Medicines

Your GP may prescribe cholesterol-lowering medicines if you already have heart

disease, or are at high risk

of getting it because you

have other risk factors.

The aim of treatment is to

reduce your total

cholesterol levels by a

quarter or to less than

4mmol/L.

The main groups of

medicines for lowering

cholesterol are the statins.

Available statins include

atorvastatin (Lipitor), fluvastatin (Lescol), pravastatin (Lipostat), rosuvastatin

(Crestor) and simvastatin (Zocor). They work by reducing the production of

cholesterol in the liver. These medicines can have side-effects such as

indigestion and muscle pains.

Your GP can tell you more about these medicines and suggest the most suitable

treatment for you.

Prevention of high cholesterol

You may be able to prevent the development of high cholesterol by maintaining

a healthy weight, eating a healthy diet, stopping smoking, not drinking alcohol

and taking regular exercise.

Calender of events for the next quarter The following programmes will be happening over the second quarter of 2009.

RSMK Children‟s Speech Contest

The Skill of Public Speaking is one of absolute necessity if one has aspirations

to become a leader in the community, workplace or at home. Company directors

have to have it; no politician can be without it.

The idea of holding a speech contest has been discussed by the Culture Sub-

Committee since last year soon after the new committee was elected in.

Bletchley Speakers Club was invited to Kiln Farm to kick-start some sort of a

debate or speech session for the members of the Sabha. Although all of those

sessions were well attended, an

involvement from them was not

forthcoming

With no interest from the adult Sangat

members we decided to approach the

students of the Punjabi Class. Benefits

such as, building confidence, help them

achieve better grades at school and

empower them

to make a

positive difference in the community were

mentioned to the youngsters. Prizes such as iPods

were named and this sparked interest amongst the

children. A date for a contest for 18th April 2009

was decided. It was also determined to have three

age categories: Group A: ages 16 – 20; Group B:

ages 12 – 15; Group C: ages 8 – 11. After that there was no looking back.

Two training sessions per week were organised to

give the school age participants maximum chance

to attend at least one session per week. The

participants were coached using the same format

used by the Bletchley Speakers Club. In the first

half of each session, prepared speeches were

presented by the young speakers followed by an

evaluation by either Tarsem Singh Ubhi or Kamaljit

Singh Reehal. The second half was used to train

the speakers to “think on their feet”, where they

had to come to the stage and talk for two minutes

about a subject they were given there and then

Page 15

In the meantime prominent members of the community with their generous

contributions towards the prizes and also the backing of the Ramgarhia Sabha‟s

Committee encouraged the team to move ahead with the prizes as promised,

without any trepidation.

On Saturday 18th April at 3pm, after months of preparation, the Ramgarhia

Sabha hosted their first ever Speech Contest in the new Sports Hall. On the

day, the atmosphere in the room was absolutely electric and full of excitement.

The audience, glued to their seats, listened to every speaker in pin-drop silence

interspersed only by brief laughter every time a speaker made a humorous

comment or gesture. Every speech and introduction of the speaker by Kamaljit

Singh Reehal was met with thunderous clapping.

On the day the contest was judged by Tom Ferret (Chief Judge), Satnam Singh

Gida and Avtar Singh Sokhi. The winners were announced by Tom (Bletchley

Speakers Club). Certificates were presented by Harbir Singh Lamba, Satnam

Singh Gida and Nirwer Singh Nandhra.

After the event comments like “I have never experienced a Speech Contest

organised by the Sikhs for their youth - this is a first!” It was absolutely

wonderful and exciting”, “ Who out of these young Speakers is going to be the

next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom”. One member of the audience

commented “The sheer level of coMr.adely, back-patting amongst the

contestants for each other was ironic – they were booming forth chants of „Go

For It!‟ to each other”. Although the prizes were there for the taking but it

seemed just taking part was more important.

Fist Prize winners in each category were presented with an IPOD. Second prize

was £50.00 vouchers and third prize was £25.00 vouchers. All other

participants received £10.00 vouchers. These prizes were presented to the

winners on Sunday 19 April 2009 at the Vaisakhi celebrations in the Gurudwara.

Page 16

A video of the entire contest was created by Tarsem Singh Chaggar that will

be uploaded to the www.ramgarhiamk.org website. Photographs were also taken

and will appear on the website soon.

The list of winners were as follows:

Group A

1st Riya Matharu

2nd Harkiran Kaur Sihra

3rd Jai Basra

Consolation Prize

Shaan Choudhry

Group B

1st Manvir Matharu

2nd Saahib Reehal

3rd Surjit Jittla

Consolation Prizes

Rajan Basra

Shaleen Choudhry

Shakti Choudhry

Group C

1st Sharan Ubhi

2nd Jodhan Reehal

3rd Pavan Jittla

The plan is to organise one more contest later in the year. There is a suggestion

to form a Sikh Speakers Club. Members of this club would meet regularly to

practice speeches, hold debates and organise other events. Any other

suggestions are most welcome. Please use the suggestion box in the Gurudwara

lobby, contact a member of the committee directly or through the Sabha

website. Alternately email any comments to tarsem_ubhi@yahoo.com or
