Comments:It appears that the other vanza website of Canada does not value or welcome input or recommendation from their own members. I posted about how and what I sense where vanza society of Canada is going but my comment was deleted and the explanation give to me was something respect to IP address which I don’t understand completely. I am simple person that know how to turn on my computer and is able to surf the internet. I feel sorry for all the vanza that have to deal with the new organization

Comments:EXCELLENT! Keep up the good work At navratri 2009 some people at our community, which I shall not name them were very FORCEFUL which I and my family found it to be very ill-mannered. I mean if someone of us would like to play various techniques for dandiya or raas then why pressure us and irritate us BY pushing us to play other styles? Anyone else have the same experience? Namaste, Jai GoPal

I am sorry had to bring this up also how is this Navratri 2009?, its very behind schedule to have Navratri it just does not have the same atmosphere for the members? WHY did we not do it last weekend during Navratri???? thanks

This site has pop-ups popping up everywhere (very annoying!! & not to mention sometimes there are obscene pictures advertised), its a very unprofessional looking site (a hack job has been done on this site), I just checked the 'Events' & nothing is posted there (even though future events are planned & advertised on the other site), the 'Gallery' has pictures from 2008 (even though 3 events have taken place since then & pictures from those events are posted on the other site). This site is a disgrace for the Canadian Vanza because there is so much potential to do better. So all those people who are supporting this site, can you please shed some light as to why this is such a great site? Go to http://vanzacanada.com/ Clearly, there is NO comparison between the two.

I think you meant the award for Mr. Ramesh Bhundia who had moved away. i think you should fix your mistake. Great site keep up the good work.. Thanks

Now all you need is to win back the members which we have lost as you can recall today’s picnic was mostly Board member and few outsiders and very small member I think about 3 to 5 families attended. So good job keep up the good work and lets win our members hearts now. thanks PS: hope we will never have meat again at our events as it hurts our guru's

Comments:Judging from the pictures on vanza sister site, seems like not only the Vanza Canada Bhajans 2009 but all the events turn out to be fruitless with dilemma at the picnic2008, then Navaratri 2008 moved up, then Diwali 2008 with DJ’s who were Djing from phones/mp3 players and incentive only given to limited person that have done nothing for the community and forgetting genuine person who have done things, valentines party 2009 on had board members it was more for family and friends get together then vanza gathering, then bhajans 2009 same most of board members attended seems like family gathering on vanza expense. Everyone keep in mind I was at all the events to support our foundation.

Comments:Excellent site. In regards to the non-veg being server from what I understood from comments I have read is that it was been sever for the first time at the Canadian samaj at a picnic. If it was not served for 20 years why even start it? And from what I read it seems like the new committee members are younger, so I don’t understand but before the event is organized why didn’t they consult with any elder or ex-committee members to see what was the reasons for not serving meat all this years? I am in no doubt the elder or ex-committee did have a very valid reason. I am not here to put any one down but just putting the fact in view. Thank you, keep up the good work

Comments:Jai Gopal. After reading so many debates on the site I thought I would add my two cents on here as well. For my part I would consent with some comments on the site having non-veg during the holy month or else at community events is totally insulting to the community it-self. If we don’t sever non-veg at home during the holy month how can you allow it to be served at community event right. When we say 'Jai Guru Gopalal” at our events we are asking guru’s ji presents at the event to bless us so how can be say jai and then sever meat? Here in London we don’t server non-veg at any events for your information Thanks

Comments:1st like to say very nice site keep up the good work, now I like to add Shravan Maino or other days I think we should consider that our samaj/committee Official and unofficially it is a temple for us. Here in UK we have our god and goddess present internal so does Africa and not aware for Canada but I am sure our society in Canada does take into consideration our guru’s at all occasion. So what I don’t comprehend is how or why would anyone serve meat in this nature. I do fully understand some of the complaints. SHRAVAN MAINO OR OTHER WISE MEAT/NON-VEG SHOULD NOT BE SERVED TO HELP PRESERVER OUR Hindu traditions and customs.

Comments:My Answer to Mr/Mrs/Master/Miss Curious. In my opinion SHRAVAN MAINO or other wise meat should not be served at our events, because we all have choices to eat that at home, work, school, restaurants, to make a good impact on our youths, tradition meat at our events should be off limits. This will teach our youths some values. The whole point for community events should be to teach our youth our traditions our beliefs which we pass it to them and the can carry forward.. because here in UK samaj we don’t sever non-veg at all at any events sole purpose to teach our kids. Cheers Sorry If I have offend any that was not my intended just my thoughts.

Comments:Dear Readers, We are very tiny community for around 120 members and have about 4 events a year in which only maybe 60 to 80 members are present at all 4 events. Keeping this aspect in mind I don’t feel its appropriate to come on this guestbook and dishonor any person/persons because members with names or nameless have come in front with facts about our last event in which a mistake occurred. It might not be a big deal for the person/persons that made the choice to have non-veg during the holy month for Hindu, because for one simple reason because this person/persons is not be well knowledgeable with the Hindu beliefs and definitely has offend many members. Best way to fix this, is by making sure this not recurring at other events and to apologies to valued members. I know the truth is sometimes bitter but it’s the fact the committee did make have slip-up by having non-veg.

Comments:Dear all, I was reading through all the comments in regards to the picnic etc. My suggestion is that if this really needs to be taken care of then there should be an open discussion face to face. Posting comments on the website isn't helping. Just one more advice for the person/s who commented that the committe has only organised one event so there was no hard work . Just so you know, whether you organize one event or 10, there is always commitment required from one's end especially in this part of the western world where one is constantly juggling between home, work, kids etc. So it is absolutely absurd for one to pass such comments. Either this person doesn't know what he/she is talking about or has never been involved in organzing any event. Please try and appreciate what the committee is trying do to for the Vanza Community.

Will admit to date I have not heard for any major problems with the community or committee member to date. So since the new committee does have some criticism towards them, mind you serving non-veg during the holy month is not right, should come on here and be sorry and move forward with something learned from here thanks

Comments:Dear all Concerned, The past few weeks have been very entertaining. All you concerned people have nothing but criticism for the new president and her committee. Since that's the case, i think these people should come upfront and run the Vanza Community since they think that they know what is right and what is wrong for the well being of the society. I am pretty sure that the committee will be more than happy to hand over to all the concerned people. I think this should be put to an end in a more mature manner. Posting comments on a website is a pure act of cowardice. The president did invite everyone that had an issue regarding this matter to the committe meeting. "NONE" of the concerned people showed up. WHY? One advice for Jyoti and he committee: " No matter how hard you try to make the community a better place, there will always be people who will not be happy." Looking forward to attending the upcoming events.

Just so you know , she has been in the committee for a long time and i think she knows what is right and what is wrong. If's it such a big deal, then why don't you guys come up and discuss it face to face rather than posting comments on the website. Well! someone mentioned that it was only the president's family that attended the picnic. Wasn't this a community picnic? Where the hell where you all when the committee wanted your support to make this event successful? Yes, but when it comes to criticizing, for some reason everyone has the time. If you are the very same people who are so concerned about Vanza community, first make an effort to attend community events.

I totally understand having non-veg is totally not in favor of community. So best thing here would be for the president to come on here and apologize to any and all members that were disappointment and move on to build a better stronger vanza society of Canada. What is a leader? A leader is a person who rules or guides or inspires others, keeping this in mind our current lead should guide and inspire us by showing her understanding about the concern which was brought up. thanks

Comments:Lets all reflect on what needs to be done to better vanza society of Canada. We know the cause so lets all get together and find a solution we are all humans and humans are know to make mistakes and we also have the power to learn from our mistakes and changes and make sure that same mistakes are not repeated. It’s my humble request to Jyoti the president to come on here and apologize for her mistake for serving non-veg during a Hindu holy month to all the members who have being offended. Because most uneasiness members are anonymously which does not mean they don’t exits they may have their reasons for staying anonymous but as a good leader you have take care for them as well.. thanks

Comments:shravan maino means listening to the transcendental descriptions of the Lord's names, forms, qualities, pastimes, and associates from the mouths of bhaktas. It may also mean "listening/hearing the divine names/qualities of the Lord. If you ate or not is not in question what is in question is during the month for shravan MEAT WAS SERVED. Since this was not a personal picnic and a committee picnic it effects the committee because our guru’s well question the committee when the time comes. So this guestbook is a good concept why should it be deleted? Because the truth is being said? Hope the webmaster will not delete this book but like to say thank you to them for giving us a place where we can share ideas, bring corners legally to the table. Thanks

Comments:i'm not saying i am a PURE religious follower, certain people have different ways of practising their religion. and i don't think you understand. yes i was doing shravan maino BUT I DIDN'T THE MEAT! it was out of my concern that it was being served because at that point it meant nothing to me. i am not the one that served the meat so i have done nothing sinful. anyways, i think everyone should just stop all of this and become peaceful. if you have nothing nice to say, don't say it. this wil be my last comment, despite what others have to say. if the website organizers/creaters are reading this, in my opinion this whole guestbook concept should be deleted since it has been exploited. thanks.

Comments:Jai Gopal to everyone around the world. We like to add that here at Wanza Samaj in the UK we don’t serve non-veg at any community events maybe others have done that but we don’t. We think that since we all do have a choice for eating out or at our private residence then there is not need to have it at our events. Also we keep in mind that we don’t want to offend any member attending or not attending. Anticipate this information will be useful. Thank you

Also, yes i do know the meaning of shravan maino, you shouldn't even have to question me on that. Why do you think i never ate the meat? so i think YOU SHOULD FIRST THINK before YOU talk! the only thing i had to say about that is that even though i was fasting, i had an option of meat and vegetarian and both cuisines made certain people happy. And if you could do math, you could count that there were several people at this picnic, a lot of people may not have showed up (whoever you are talking about) because there was a chance of showers that day from the weather forecast. there were so many things at that picnic: the AMAZING food, games, activities, antakshri etc. Just because you m

It’s not necessary to serve at our events. Over all my family and i did not enjoy this picnic as much the pass once 2/10 Formally request to the currently president and her team on Behalf of Vanza Society of Canada/USA please don’t serve non-veg at any EVENTS from NOW on..

If you want to eat non-veg then cook it at your residence or go out and eat meat the least we can do it save our events form it. Until this picnic we were proud vanza society of Canada that never served meat to date and now we don’t even have that. We all hope this was the 1st and the last time thanks

Comments: Hi, friends and acquaintances I am from UK here at one time we did serve meat at few events at vanza UK but due to growing concerns raise by numerous members, now we have stopped catering for non-veg and strictly vegetarian at all our vanza events to keep members happy (since events would not be possible with out them) and we here are vanza UK always make sure that our guru’s are not offend any way shape or form. Keeping this mind vanza Canada i think you should stick with non-veg since you have maintaine it for 20 years so why start now. Can Moksha be achieved while eating hamburgers? I don't think so. thanks

This discussion may make you sad because you don’t understand well the age-old customs that each vanza deeply care for. I agree we do have a very rich culture that we should all be proud to share and most of all “LEARN” i think any concerns either by means of guestbook, email or personally should be taken care for quickly instead for trying intimated member "virtually". Even one concern should be one too many for any committee I think. meat is served in other Vanza communities around the world well we are not like all for them but we are different, 20 years we did not have meat and alot for us were very proud about that so why not keep that up.? And what wrong timing to have meat during the wrong month was Jyoti sleeping. She did not know it was shravan maino? WAKE UP JYOTI CAN'T HAVE MEAT DURING shravan maino?

Yes we should stop arguing about this issue and hope the president Jyoti learn something from this and will make a better judgment next time around. Discussing "virtually" why not we have a form where each member or in fact any person can come and express them self so why not? We all should happy to see that vanza member are paying attention. Our members should own up to the mistake they have made intentionally or unintentionally severing meat during shravan maino was WRONG totally our guru’s can’t absorb that sort of SIN. thanks

Please also note, I have heard that meat is served in other Vanza communities across the globe at non-cultural events such as pic-nics. On a positive note, we should be thinking about how to make our forum look better, right now it makes our community look bad when we are arguing like this. So please, lets act like a community who respect and support one another. For those, who are still concerned. Please feel free to contact our committee members by phone or email. Thank-you!

I also agree, that those who are deeply concerned also need to take some action to personally talk about this issue; however, doing this discussion "virtually" is not working. So please lets stop this discussion, if you are deeply concerned please call one of the members am sure they can set up a time to get this resolved in a more mature manner. Also, please lets not under estimate everyone hard work in organizing an event. Organizing an event such as this takes a lot of commitment and hard work.

Comments:Hi to all of the Vanza Community. This on going discussion about the meat being served at a picnic needs to come to an end. It is RIDICULOUS! As for those who are talking about our "future youth" should actually be in the shoes of the youth and then talk. I myself am a youth and I understand all religious events. I was also amongst one of those who was fasting during shravan maino but regardless of the meat being served, I had a CHOICE about whether or not I should eat it, and following my values that I have learned from my parents I decided not to. So this was PURELY a choice and no one was forced to eat the meat even though it was there. Everyone must realize that this is a PICNIC! there were a bunch of other people picnic-ing around the area that SERVED MEAT! and it was BEEF! so how does this make a difference? Everyone is different about what they liek to eat, what they beleive in etc. You can't judge someone just because they aren't like you. We live in a multicultural society a

Hope Vanza society memebers will take into account that very many for the member are or were not happy.

Comments:Hi, After reading some for the views on this site its good to see vanza’s in Canada are concerned and raising their voice. In respect to insulting please I suggest you read their comments CAREFULLY. Nobody is insulting anyone but the people are speaking the truth. Many of us like me self have grown up here and are unaware for Hindu calendar so most times before I eat non-veg or serve it in home I always ask my elders at the same time I am learn now. So what the people are saying here is very acceptable there is nothing hypocritical about that. Also please Jyoti keep in mind many of us do contribute our time and effort toward bettering the community and people on the site are not pointing fingers at everyone but trying to point your mistakes and so far I must emphasis that are being very civilized and comments might seem Negative but they are very factual.

When planning any events I think it would be nice to keep the society’s interest in mind.1 having non-veg during Shravan is not appropriate. 2- I have attend few events at vanza and must say they are very pleasurable and I have noticed that at all events starts with guru-ji names, keeping that in mind then how can you serve meat right? Do you Jyoti at home pray and serve meat to your god’s no right then how can you allow this at the event? Sorry I am not trying to bash anyone but just sharing some thoughts I have ya.. Amba

So its shravan month, and you cannot eat meat, but for you, it is perfectly fine to insult parents and elders? Correct me if I am wrong, but is that not being hypocritical? I personally believe that insulting parents/elders is actually worse! If you really want to set an example for your kids, do something positive, contribute your time and effort towards bettering the vanza community instead of pointing fingers at everyone. Talk about it in a civilized way, instead of posting 'NEGATIVE' comments on the website...attend the commitee meeting, call the president, discuss and collaborate!

And my point here is that in so many years we have had different member running the organization but yet to get any sort of criticizing... Why because to date the organization was ran by elders who are aware for tradition and religions believe that ALWAYS made sure was looked after in the events not to offend any one. But now the new members younger, care free, uneducated in religion, inexperience who are running this. I think for any events from NOW on they should always consulted someone experience to make sure we don’t offend anyone.. thanks

Look at Punjab’s Muslims no matter where in the world they do follow very firmly that is the ONE reason they have moved up so much in life… The president and her committee… SHOULD always keep in mind the Hindu calendar in mind when an event is coming up… its good that a lot for vanza’s are concerned about this and have raised their voices ..

Everyone's beliefs and customs are different and should not be imposed on others about how they feel. The president and her committee did an exellent job. I think people should try and attend community events and enjoy rather than "COMPLAIN."

Comments:one more point to be added is that the time the picnic was taken place, it was during shravan, so therefore, there shouldnt have been meat at ALL whats so ever. doesnt matter if no one follows it, as a president you should set an example for our future vanza youths. if this is just about blending with the western cultural then we shouldnt have a vanza community. there are many other hindu societies that are very strict so why cant vanza be too.

Comments:Yes the picnic is a cultural event and not religious event but at all vanza events picnic, garba, diwali show we always remember our guru’s.. so how can vanza accept this sort of treatment? Eating at restaurants where meat is served well just so you know many for us choose not to eat at this place simply because they serve MEAT. I think the meat was not a good idea at all.. Hope this will not happen again. In regards to coming to the meetings I am very apologetic due to other dedication I will not be able to be present. Eating meat isn't natural humans are primarily plant eaters by design. A fair look at the evidence shows that humans are optimized for eating plant foods, and not meat. Consider: Human anatomy: We're most similar to other herbivores, and drastically different from carnivores., Longevity & health: The more meat we eat, the sicker we get. Meat is poison to us. It's the primary reason we get heart disease, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, and every other major dege

Comments:The picnic is a cultural event not a religious event. There is a diiference. If this was a religious event than i would agrre. Since this is a cultural event. Meat is acceptable. We all eat at restuarant where meat is also served. I think the meat was a good idea and as long as it is not beef.

Comments:I have the same opinion and do agree with Japa. Every since I have being in Canada I have never had meat at any for our events until to date until I attended 2008 summer picnic. When the meat was served I did not have any but was SHOCKED to see that it was being served at our event. At this point I was very upset but now I see few for us are not happy with is. We would all appreciate if Jyoti Jethwa would come on to this site and assure this would never happen again and would say sorry to us thanks

Comments:First time every non-veg was serve at the vanza picnic which was very disappointing I must say I hope this was the first and last time for this. I think it's not good because we do take our guru's name before any events start or ends... It would be disrespectfully. Hope the president Jyoti Jethwa will take note and take quick action.
