Event: Bitesize Sikhi 2007

More events coming up from the West Midlands Sikh Societies this month and start of next. We thought we'd post this up early to make sure more people are informed, turn up and make these events successful. The events are all at times in which we have no lectures so no excuses for not going.


Caste away: Their will be transport going from Birmingham University ( more info on transport soon)


This will be the first event of its kind. The first national kirtan darbar will take place at Guru Nanak Gurdwara, (High Street, Smethwick)


This event will give you a chance to ask any sikhi related questions and getting an answer to them. If you want to ask the question anonymously then there will be pieces of paper going around at the beginning of the event in which you can write your question. Also, you could leave your questions in the comments section of this post. To do this, click on the comments hyperlink at the end of the post and type in your question. The questions will then be given to panel to answer at the event. Here are some questions that have already been put forward.

  • Was Guru Nanak a prophet?
  • Is it right to have relationships before marriage?

  • What is amrit?

  • What about alcohol and meat?

  • What is Guru Ji’s message?

  • View upon other religions?

  • Why do you grow your hair but not your nails?

  • Sikhi and science?

  • Modern times?

  • Sikhi and shaheedi?

  • Mixed race marriages?

We will finish Sikhi Bitesize Week with a massacre, a paintball massacre. Taking place at the national paintball fields in Sutton Coldfield, which has been voted the best paintballing field in europe, you'll get 500 paintballs, a semi automatic paintball gun, safety gear, transort and lunch. Tickets are going fast so buy them before its too late.
