Hate it or love it, but it is fast becoming a conspicuous fact that the smarter generation of Sikhs was finished off in the 80's and by some seeming design the incompetent were allowed to escape and spread abroad. These vestiges of a fallen generation now control Gurudwaras and Panthic institutes captaining the Khalsa ship to oblivion due to their lack of guile and an even more atrocious lack of vision. How did this situation arise and what are the cures, if any? Listen at your own peril!

Would you trust a serpent to repay its dues to you after you save its life? Or would you be realistic enough to acknowledge that the serpent is venomous by nature and strikes both friend and foe alike? If the latter is your answer and not the former, then ask yourself: why would you trust individuals or communities whose beliefs emphasize your eternal damnation in hellfire because you do not conform to their way of life? Why then would you help the arbitrators and disciples of such belief systems and philosophies when they have multiple nations of their own and we Sikhs have not a single one?

In this episode we explore:

(a) Why we allow the serpent of Bhaichara to strangle us.

(b) Why we seek validation from others.

(c) The consequences of Bhaichara.

(d) A brighter future without Bhaichara.

(e) How Bhaichara fanatics are usually seeking validation for their own inferiority complex.



Listen at your own peril.
