Loss of faith in the Maharaja The internal political policy pursued by Maharaja Ranjeet Singh went against Sikh interests. Major points of differences were that the Maharaja had: 1. Delegated too much authority of the government to Dogras who were insincere and disloyal to the Sikhs. 2. Appointed relatives of his cronies to important posts instead of selecting competent persons. 3. Developed misunderstanding with his sons by listening to the misinformation given by the Dogras. Note: Later, it was found that Akali Ji was right and justified in asking the Maharaja not to place all his confidence in the Dogras alone. The Dogras had a secret understanding wit…

Maharaja Ranjit Singh: The Sikh Ruler, in the eyes of non-Sikhs According to the famous historian Carlyle, a worthy sovereign should be judged from a sole factor as to how he employs his sword after being victorious. ********** Le Griffin writes that: "Maharaja Ranjit Singh ruled his kingdom exactly according to the Sikh way of life and Sikhism considers everyone as friends and talks about the welfare of all irrespective of caste and creed." ********** The spirit of Gurbani couplet, "The one Lord is the Father of all and we are the children of the one Lord rules supreme in every Sikh heart." Charles Hugal, writes in his book, "Travels in Kashmir and Punjab", that…

Thirsty The Respected Giani Jaswant Singh Parvana Ji said to my friend, 'The Sikhi that Guru Sahib created was so simple and straightforward, nowadays it's become complicated and confused'. Why are we so confused? Because every time we have a question or a query about Naam we ask 100 different people only to get 100 different answers. But I thought we were Sikhs and one can only be a Sikh (learner) if there is an Enlightener (Guru). So why do we run in every direction when our Guru Ji is right in front of us? Our Guru is the only one we need to ask. We will get one TRUE answer, we will not be confused by the world. Have some faith. Do ardas 'Guru Granth Sahib Ji You ar…

Yeah Dhadi and Kaweshria are known for joking around now and then. -
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.
