SINGHO PANTHIC BANO - HOW DO WE FINISH DIVISIONS & BECOME PANTHIC? WHAT DOES SO-CALLED INDIAN INDEPENDENCE MEAN FOR SIKHS?

During a Gurmat Diwaan on 17th August 2014, Baba Ranjit Singh Khalsa Dhadrianwale, the shining example of a fearless Panthic voice in modern times, has given a rousing speech within the thousands of people present about how Sikhs of the Khalsa Panth must become truly “Panthic” in the literal form.

A short clip of the Diwaan can be seen at the following link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACf9TvBIuUQ

They said that Guru Granth Sahib Ji is a free, independent and fearless voice for the entire world, and it is from that knowledge where we can learn to become Panthic.

Recently, on 15th August, India celebrated its annual Independence Day holiday. But what has this “independence” achieved for the Sikh nation who fought so hard to acquire it? Is our 'Dastaar' free in India? Is our 'Anand Kaaraj' independent in Punjab? Is our death certificate independent for Sikhs? Is our 'Kirpan' independent? Is Punjabi independent in Punjab? Where are the 18,000 acres of land belonging to Sri Nankana Sahib before partition after Indian independence? So-called independence has taken this away from the Khalsa Panth – will the Sikhs ever get it back? A writer has wisely stated that yes, Independence Day may indeed be a public holiday and day off from work, but it is nothing about freedom, at least for the Sikhs.

Baba Ranjit Singh Khalsa said that, “First we, the Sikhs, were divided with the caste system. We were then divided by politics. Then we went to the Gurdwara for oneness and over there we were divided by the Samprada system. Where there was supposed to be unity, we were fighting over Maryada.”

They advised that we must step above all of this. By way of example, they explained how we go through primary education, high school, college etc, but once we reach university, there are no questions asked of where we came from, from which nursery school, whether we studied in a state school, or in a private school. At the university stage, we become one. They said in the same way, we must respect all and no matter from where in the Panth we originated, we must rise, free ourselves from being bound by groups and then when we too become one, on that day we become PANTHIC. Whoever is Panthic, he is above all groups, castes, 'Samprada' and anything that may differentiate each of us from being simply Sikhs.”

Baba Ranjit Singh Khalsa said that by this period in time, they too could have initiated a separate group within the Panth with a huge following, but the Parchaarak categorically confirmed they have no intention whatsoever to do this now or at any time in the future.

“A Sikh should have an independent mind. Whosoever should think independently, they are Panthic. We are a naïve nation and our history proves we have never betrayed anyone, but it is often we who have been betrayed by others. We do not betray and we never will, but let us now change so that we ourselves as a nation do not get betrayed either. We must become Gurmukh and then let us become Panthic.”

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
