Sahib Sri Guru Amar Das Patshah Ji Maharaj de prakash utsav diyaan sab nu lakh lakh vadhaiyaan

HarminderSingh, What are you on about?!! The Rehansbhai begins at 7pm finishes at 5am. The rally starts about 11am. You can get about 3-4 hours sleep between then if you really want to attend the events - dass has done it before. Sure, we would all like our beauty sleep but its not as though its every weekend is it? its a one-off. So take laahaa of the rehansbhai, do ure ishnaan, recite panj baniyaa, get a bit of sleep if you so wish, then make your way into the city centre. Gravesend isnt very far at all. To be fair on both organisations, AKJ plan their events a year in advance at least, and this year, Sikh Federation (the main organisers) had no choice but to do the second weekend in June, as an oppose to the first weekend (which is normally the case) because some other event is already booked in city centre that first weekend. Wasnt a deliberate clash and i think it was quite unavoidable too. Oh and in terms of Sikh Channel, I was there last year myself and the owner of the channel does not like to promote 1984 events because he feels only a small proportion of Sikhs support Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa. He will delay advertising it as much as he can

Jvala singh ji No. He said that Hindus considered Durga as shakti. Here you are not being honest and twisting things.Sikhs are not Hindus as Baba ji said that sikhs consider kirpan as shakti of waheguru. In that " ath devi ji ki ustat" Maharaj has defined devi as akal purakh and not any deity. Hindus consider that and they do not consider any akal purakh above that devi. Guru ji in Dasam Granth has used Devi there as akal purakh and not Durga devi.Do not mix two philosophies. Words have different meanings per context of use. In that ode it is refrenece to parmatama and not any physical devi.And baba Innderjit singh does not make comment on that ode. Do not misquote him.Neitehr any Nihung sect in India consider Durga the way you think. Here either you are not aware of Dasam Granth or you are making up false stories. The passaage you have given is from Krishna avtar. Durga has no business to be there in krishna avtar as it is avatr of vishnu.They are absolutley different belief systems. It is not translation of purana in toto. Read purana before writing this.I have gone through puranas to go to roots. Maharaj has left out all pasages of Purana that are in praise of Durga. This is applicable to Chandi charitras. Krishna avtar is from Bhagvat Purana tenth chapter. It is also not transaltion in toto.Major part of krishna avatar is "War management" where kharag singh fights with Krishna and puts him down under his foot by pulling from his hair. That whole section is not from purana.It is written new by Guru sahib and forms major part of krishna avtar. Please do not make false stories. I have no intention to insult you. But it is clear from your reply that you have an agenda. Prove it that " ath devi ji ki ustat" Is translation from Purana . I say it is not found in tenth chapter of bhagwat purana.Show me if you say so. Prove it that it is praise for DUrga and i say it is not. DEvi word has been used for God. Dasam Granth is full of metaphors.Either you do not understand it or you are twisting ,meanings of Guru sahib's bani. You are doing it in a subtle way.You post recording of Baba Inderjeet singh and your motive is something else.

To me holding kirtan program of any jathabandi is much more faeda mand than public rally. Rally is more like political and kirtan program is religious. yeh we need both of em to raise our spirit via kirtan and make our voice heard thru rally. Maybe next time, organizers from both sides need to keep in touch before releasing dates of their program?

I just realised that there is akj rainsabai in Gravesend on 12th Night and on 13th there is annual 1984 rembrance rally. Obviously people who attend rainsabai can not a to attend the rally and those who want to attend rally can not attend the rainsabai. This is not good for panth as sangat will get divided . If anyone from organisers of these events reads this can they do something to avoid the clash? Also I noticed that there is no promo of any kind of the 13th June 1984 remembrance rally on sikh channel. Shouldn't it be advertised well in advance now that we have a channel so that maximum numbers arrive at the rally and media notices us?
