hello, first of all i want to say a big thank you for answering every1s q's and making ppl's lifes easier.

i've been having some problems at school,well everything at school is fine except for fights.Since friday thers been fights at my school involving sikh and muslims.On friday a sikh was beaten up quite badly and all because he wears a turban which was definatly not rite.The boy backs himself up and stand up for himself and shouldn't have terrible things done to him. His turban was pulled off and hes hair came down, his ear was pulled and things that made it worse were that a muslim spat on the turban.i luckily didnt see what exactly happened but know for a fact this situation occured.
The boy had 2 of his friends going up to the muslim boys that were beating up the sikh boy.One was a sikh that didnt wear a turban and there was also a gora.The other sikh boy told the muslims that the turban was really precious and doesnt deserve to b spat on at all.He also said his sikh just because he doesnt wear a turban doesnt mean they cant beat him up.I dont no what the gora said but he must of been involved.On the same day in the afternoon there was another fight with a sikh boy, who was a yr older in yr 11 and he too was beaten up.
This morning the gora was covered in blood from the back of his hed on to his jacket and this i saw with my own eyes.Unfortunatly he was hit with a hammer!.The other sikh boy who stood up for the boy that got beaten up in the afternoon was also beaten up, hit with a metal pole.

Both didnt deserve what they got!, teachers are trying to sort things out no excluding has been done so far.As i'm a sikh girl luckily i've been able to get away from it because the rumour is every sikh boy with a turban in the yr or school will get beaten up!and so far i've seen it happen.The gora and the sikh have got their own crew that will back them up and the next ppl that are gonna get beaten up are that crew and no one should get beaten up just for defending their friend.

Their were a couple of grown up sikhs (in there 20's,built)who had a talk with the muslims , one muslim pulled a knife out and then one of the sikhs pulled a kirpan out. so u can tell what happened there but the talk seemed just to make matters worse.

Teachers are doing their best and seems as though sikhs and gore are together against muslims but i dont no what to do apart from praying and if this carries on matters are going to get much worse i cant see some one covered in blood every single day at my school.

Can you please tell me what i could do, thank you!!!!!!!

Dear one,
You are right to be concerned. This could be a gang problem or simply a release of frustration, a misunderstanding. I would hope that the school Principal and counselors would be involved in this to clear up any misunderstanding.

I would suggest for you to start a group of girls who are willing to project their prayer for blessings and protection.
The Shabd: Atai otai rakhvalaa, Prabh Satgur deen dayaalaa......" Also known as "Aap Sahaa-ee ho-ah, sache daa sachaa dho-aa, har har har" is very powerful for overcoming the enemy. This enemy can be both within you and outside of you. Anything that opposes the unchanging truth of God and consciousness is what we are referring to as enemy.

As women, young women, you have a great power through your prayer. This power is stonger than the power of hate. SO here is a suggestion of how you can use and multiply this power of your group prayer and intention.
You can find the Shabd:
1. in the Shabd Sheet section, for printing out.
2. Gurbani kirtan by Shabd or by Ragi
Form a spiritual support group. Prayer works very well in solving the unsolvable.
Discuss with the girls the ways you might each do daily prayer for the solution.
For example:
1. recite the Shabd together 11 times a day at lunch time.
2. all agree to recite the shabd on their own 11 times a day
3. play the shabd continuosly at home to surround your neighborhood with this protective vibration.
4. all agree to start saying to yourselves when you see these confused people: "in the name of the Guru, I bless you, I bless you, I bless you.
5. Bless yourself, bless your school, bless everyone
6. invite some of the Muslim girls to join you in this prayer.

Watch how God works through your prayer to bring ease to these tormented people.
God bless you, SKKK
