Updates to site: New things added to sidebar

New items have been added to the sidebar. Firstly, a word of the moment has been added. Everytime you visit/refresh the site the word will change. If the panjabi word doesn't come up but the meaning does you'll need to install panjabi font. Click here to get the font.

Secondly, some simran audio has been added. If you have suggestions of other simran tracks leave it in the comments section of this post with the internet site where it's downloadable.

Finally, due to the EktaOne website closing down some of the links have been taken off the sidebar. Hopefully new links will be added in place of them before the start of the new semester.

Events: Vaisakhi events

With Vaisakhi coming up they'll be loads of events around Birmingham and the West Midlands. Here's two of which are advertised by BOSS:

There is going to be an Vaisakhi show and exhibition at Wolverhampton University on the 18th April. There will be visual displays, turban tying workshops, live martial arts display(at 1pm), art workshop, boss stall and much more.

To get to Wolverhampton University from University of Birmingham firstly catch the train from university station to new street. From there catch a train to Wolverhampton (usually the train ending at Manchester Picadilly/Wolverhampton). Then follow this map (click here for map) to the MC building.
On Sunday 22nd April there will be the annual Vaisakhi Nagar Kirtans in Birmingham. A nagar kirtan is when kirtan is sang whilst the sangat walks to a particular location (in this case handsworth park :) )

The first Nagar Kirtan will start at Guru Nanak Gurdwara in Smethwick. To get to this gurdwara catch a train from New Street to Smethwick Rolfe Street (the gurdwara is across the road from the station). The nagar kirtan will go past Gurdwara Shaheed Baba Deep Singh Ji, then onto Rookery Road past Bebe Nanaki Gurdwara, continuing then to Gurdwara Singh Sabha and finishing at Handsworth Park.

The second Nagar Kirtan starts at Dasmesh Gurdwara (from aston university follow the A34 until you get to Lozell's road. Turn left and then left again onto Wheeler street). The nagar kirtan then continues past Gurdwara GNNSJ (Soho Road Gurdwara), then to Gurdwara Bhagat Ravidas Bhavan and finally finishing at Handsworth Park.
