  1. Maybe he thought that he would be able to handle the situation however I agree with you totally. The inability of our leaders to step aside and allow the right person to do the job has kept our community back.

  2. Guru Ji did not make a new group of Sikhs, he made the Sikhs excel in a particular field. Nirmala Sikhs are not different from us, they just have stronger emphasis on Braham-Gian, and learning than your average grihasti Sikh.

  5. Some of Sant Gurbachan Singh Bhindranwale Jee's students no longer share the same view as Sant Jee. Examples of such students are Sant Hari Singh Jee Randawa and Giani Inderjit Singh Ji. Both of these former students have a lot of Gian and are worthy of respect because of their Gian but it seems they have drifted away from their former teacher greatly. They should not be seen as representing the views of Sant Gubachan Singh Bhindranwale as it is often done by the followers of these two former students of Sant Jee. They should be seen based on their own merit and views. The true inheritors of Sant Jee's views are the Gianis of Taksal from Mehta and Bhinder Kalan.

  6. There is no question about GOP malicious intentions pretending to be immigrant friendly. But as others said, ample opportunity was missed in the speech, millions were watching us, shaking their head..!!

  7. This just shows we need trained public relations/media relations sikhs more than ever..!!. Somethings are better left alone with youths. Youth should have done the speech or at atleast representation from 3HO. This begs an question, who elected this bhai sahib to do speech anyway?

  8. This was a hollow gesture no doubt, but none more hollow than Mrs. Obama coming to meet with the Wisconsin Sikh community almost a week after the shooting. Barack Obama met with the Colorado shooting victims, but not with Sikhs? Why? Is it for the same reasons he avoided a visit to the Golden Temple? The question is not about politics, as Valarie Kaur has stated. The matter involves our inability to produce a capable leader to represent us on the national stage. I have a hard time believing that Ishwar Singh ji couldn't find any young articulate Sikhs to give the invocation. Knowing our gurdwara committee members, I have doubts as to whether he even tried.

  9. This was disappointing to an extent. I agree someone raised in USA could have been a better choice. Ishwar Singh Ji seemed nervous but the end made me cringe when Ishwar Singh Ji tried to translate "Nanak naam chardi kala tere bhane sarbat da bhalla."

  11. Hari Singh Randhawa in the above video claims that Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji Maharaj started the udasis Panth and it was not Sri Chand. Today many Sikhs have jumped on this bandwagon and have started saying the same without listening to Katha of Satguru Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji Maharaj or reading Gurbani or reading Bhai Gurdas Ji's Vaars. First Hari Singh Randhawa says this tuk to back up his theory that Satguru started Udasis: gur bcnI bwhir Gir eyko nwnku BieAw audwsI ]5]11] gur bachanee baahar ghar eaeko naanak bhaeiaa oudhaasee ||5||11|| According to the Word of the Guru's Teachings, what is outside is the same as what is inside the home of the self. Nanak has become a detached renunciate. ||5||11|| http://sikhitothemax...p?ShabadID=3666 So at the beginning of this shabad a person ask Satguru Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji Maharaj if he is a yogi, sant ji says. Satguru Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji Maharaj responds by saying: Raag Maaru--Ang-992 jogI jugiq nwmu inrmwielu qw kY mYlu n rwqI ] jogee jugath naam niramaaeil thaa kai mail n raathee || The Yogi who is joined to the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is pure; he is not stained by even a particle of dirt. Then they ask who is a Brahmin from Maharaj a few tuks down and Maharaj responds by saying: bRhmxu bRhm igAwn iesnwnI hir gux pUjy pwqI ] brehaman breham giaan eisanaanee har gun poojae paathee || He alone is a Brahmin, who takes his cleansing bath in the spiritual wisdom of God, and whose leaf-offerings in worship are the Glorious Praises of the Lord. Then at the end Satguru says this to him: gur bcnI bwhir Gir eyko nwnku BieAw audwsI ]5]11] gur bachanee baahar ghar eaeko naanak bhaeiaa oudhaasee ||5||11|| According to the Word of the Guru's Teachings, what is outside is the same as what is inside the home of the self. Nanak has become a detached renunciate. ||5||11|| The above tuk katha starts at 32:15 to the end of the recording. Sant Baba Gurbachan Singh ji Maharaj here makes it clear that Satguru is talking about a spiritual state and it has nothing to do with starting a sect called udasis or being an udasis as Sri Chand was. Hari Singh Randhawa needs to read the whole shabad before doing arth of this one tuk and presenting the tuk to the sangat as if Satguru is saying i am udasis. Hari Singh Randhawa, also uses the following tuk to back up his claim: bwby ByK bxwieAw audwsI kI rIiq clweI] baabae bhaekh banaaeiaa oudhaasee kee reeth chalaaee|| To further understand the people, Guru Nanak donned robes in their manner and preached them to be detached (from the pleasure and pain). http://sikhitothemax...p?ShabadID=5564 From this Vaar of Bhai Gurdas Ji’s i could not find Sant Baba Gurbachan Singh Ji Maharaj’s katha. It is not on Gurmatveechar.com. But in the same Vaar (1) in pauri 38 Bhai Gurdas Ji tells us that Satguru Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj takes off the udasi garb. Listening to this katha Sant ji says that Satguru adorned the udasi garb to teach the udasis what it really means to be an udasi. Sant ji gives the example of how Satguru went to Mecca and Satguru adorned the blue garb. Just because Satguru adorned the blue garb of the Muslims doesn’t mean Satguru became a Muslim or started the Muslim religion. Again Hari Singh Randhawa has failed to learn from his teacher (Sant ji and Bhai Gurdas ji) and has distorted Bhai Gurdas Ji’s Vaars to support Udasis. Hari Singh Randhawa is adding his own man made theories here to support what he believes for whatever reason. Vaar 01 Pauri 38 - Baba Aaiya Kartarpur The above Katha starts at 2:25 Katha on Nirmal Panth: Vaar 01 Pauri 45 - Ziaarat Kar Multaan Di Vaar 01 Pauri 45 - Ziaarat Kar Multaan Di - Version 02 Nirmal Panth is first mentioned at 4:50 to 6:00. Here Sant ji refers to Sikhi as the Nirmal Panth which Satguru started and where Satguru Sri Guru Angad Dev ji Maharaj was the second Guru of this Nirmal Panth. In the second version of the above Katha Sant ji makes it even more clear that Satguru is refering to the Khalsa Panth, by saying in farsi this Panth is called Khalsa Panth. But if you listen to Hari Singh Randhawa he distorts Bhai Gurdas Ji Vaars and says Satguru Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji Maharaj started the Nirmal Samprada. This is wrong because the Nirmal Samprada, which Hari Singh is refering to, was started by Bhai Daya Singh ji. Then again Hari Singh to confuse the sangat says in the 10th form Satguru increased this Nirmal Panth. So Hari Singh should be asked why are you distorting Bhai Gurdas Ji Vaars? Why not do the correct arth of Bhai Gurdas Ji Vaars like your teacher Sant Baba Gurbachan Singh ji Maharaj does? Hari Singh Randhawa also says the Gurus did puja of Sri Chand. Correct me if im wrong and misheard. This is a huge insult to the Gurus by Hari Singh Randhawa. What is Hari Singh’s evidence for this, what is his source? Surely not Bhai Gurdas Ji Vaars or Gurbani because both sources tell us that Sri Chand went against Satguru and the former source tells us that Sri Chand could not find liberation. Does Bhai Gurdas Ji Vaars or Gurbani say anywhere that Satguru started udasi or was a udasi? From Sant Ji’s katha, he has made it clear this was not the case at all. Infact Gurbani give us the explanation of what a Udasi and householder is in this Shabad: This Shabad is by Guru Nanak Dev Ji in Raag Prabhaatee on Pannaa 1329 pRBwqI mhlw 1 ] prabhaathee mehalaa 1 || Prabhaatee, First Mehla: Awvqu iknY n rwiKAw jwvqu ikau rwiKAw jwie ] aavath kinai n raakhiaa jaavath kio raakhiaa jaae || No one can hold anyone back from coming; how could anyone hold anyone back from going? ijs qy hoAw soeI pru jwxY jW aus hI mwih smwie ]1] jis thae hoaa soee par jaanai jaa(n) ous hee maahi samaae ||1|| He alone thoroughly understands this, from whom all beings come; all are merged and immersed in Him. ||1|| qUhY hY vwhu qyrI rjwie ] thoohai hai vaahu thaeree rajaae || Waaho! - You are Great, and Wondrous is Your Will. jo ikCu krih soeI pru hoiebw Avru n krxw jwie ]1] rhwau ] jo kishh karehi soee par hoeibaa avar n karanaa jaae ||1|| rehaao || Whatever You do, surely comes to pass.

  14. The reason i personally don't beleive that the Jathedar of Budha Dal automatically is the Jathedar of Sri Akhal Takhat Sahib is becuase Bhai Mani Singh was both the Head Granthi & Sri Akal Takhat Sahib Jathedar and he was not and has never been the Jathedar of Budha Dal. So even though Akali Phula Singh was Jathedar but as prior to him, Bhai Mani Singh was too the Jathedar shows that Budha Dal's Jathedars don't automatically assume the role of the Jathedar of Sri Akal Takhat Sahib. I don't accept Budha Dal being the Panjva Takhat. Up until 1966, there was only 4 takhats (Damdama Sahib became the 5th in 1966), so with only 4 Takhats, the Fifth Takhat was the Khalsa Panth and not solely Budha Dal

  16. Both of you are right. The fault lies with the lack of a central body or organisation that Ishwar Singh could have contacted to provide an English speaking Sikh who could have done the invocation. Ishwar Singh is at fault for nor knowing his limitations and the 'Indian' accent would have just strengthened the sterotype that Sikhs are new immigrants to America rather than that they have over 100 years of history in the country. I think the lack of a politically aware English speaking Sikh might have had something to do with the fact that most of these Sikhs are aligned to the Democratic Party and some of them have claimed that asking a Sikh to do an invocation is just a political stunt on the part of the Republic Party. But these Sikhs should be aware that they need to use every opportunity to inform Americans of who Sikhs are.

  17. I don't get what the big fuss is over this Hari Singh Randhawa and all those people who are falling over themselves claiming he's a Mahanpurush or Brahmgyani. He is fooling the common Sikhs by trying to claim that Guru Nanak started the Udasis and Nirmalas. He is doing this twisting Gurbani. From what videos I have seen of him, and thanks to our resident Neo with his trusty Brahmgiani radar, he appears a major FAKE. No doubt people will come on here and start writing about his bhagti and what he has done for Sikhi but the video proves he is someone with an agenda.

  18. You have to admire the BBC because their bending to Muslim sensibilities is legendary and the people in charge are on record as saying they would not consider making a comedy offensive to Muslims because of the violent reaction from Muslims. So either this marks a change of policy or someone made a mistake and instead of sending the tapes of this comedy to be incinerated they were sent to be broadcast by mistake! So what will be the reaction of the BBC, will they pull the series or carry on? What's the betting that some Muslim looney will go after Adil Ray? I reckon that Anjem Chaudhary guy will rename his organisation, from Muslims Against Crusaders to Muslims against Sitcom! I did find some bits funny. His parking his large Mercedes in the small front garden of his house and instead of getting a ramp built by the council using a makeshift ramp made by placing a piece of wood on the road. It did look dated, the character looked like that Pakistani guy from 'Mind Your Language' from the 1970s. The prop department probably managed to recyle the same hat. Apparently he's a Pakistani 'businessman' but in reality he would probably be on disabled benefits and his wife would be getting carers allowance for looking after him! He probably moonlights as a minicab driver.

  20. Akal Takht was the only Takht during the times of the Gurus and well into the 19th Century. So the claim that Budha Dal that they are the Panjvan Takht is of recent vintage probably going back to the 1920s. You can only be a Panjvan Takht when there are four already accepted Takhts. Now if the Budha Dal claimed to be a Doosra or Dooja Takht then that would imply that their claim could go back to when Budha Dal came into existence in 1730s.

  21. These communist Sikhs are the biggest hypocrites amongst us. My uncle for example is very proud of his communist beliefs. He will ridicule religious Sikhs every chance he gets. He hangs a picture of stalin in his house and his son hangs a picture of Che Guevara in his room. They will say the most disgusting things against the Shaheed Singhs of 84 and after because they took up the gun to fight injustices. When I point towards their idols(stalin and Che) and say why didn't Stalin put down his guns before hitler or why did Che Guevara fight all his youthful life and die in the end fighting, to this they have no answer. These communists have caused the most damage to the Sikhs in the 20th century. Because of their anti Sikh lifestyle, almost all their daughters have married non Sikhs(including my communist uncle's daughter!). When they see their daughters marrying non Sikhs they wonder what went wrong. It is best to keep these communists away from the Gurdwara committees. Whenever they become religious they almost always adopt the atheistic philosophy of of Gurbaksh Singh Kala Afghana. Not surprisingly since Kala Afghana, Gagha are all former communists themselves. May Guru Jee save us from the remnants of these communists.

  23. I suppose you would have liked to have kept the pro British Mahants in control of the Gurdwaras who drank and smoked and kept prostitutes. I am surprised at this revisionist history, look at the Nankana Sahib massacre, the Jaito morchas, how many Sikhs became shaheed at the hands of the pro British mahants. You sound like the people who say the Jews were responsible for the holocaust.

  24. It's the Gurdwara prabhandaks that allow their chums (usually business partners or friends of business partners of their relatives, and so on) onto the stage on a Sunday afternoon - whilst everyone is licking their fingers after eating their kraah prashaad - that should look at themselves in the mirror. Of course nobody is holding a gun to a voter, but as a Gurughar prabhandhak I would think it would be best to only invite those MPs to speak to the sangat who have firm and concrete policies to benefit the Sikh community. But I guess that's too much to ask for our dodgy elders.

  25. Balbir Singh was Baba Santa Singh's Garvaee Singh (close attendant) and did his seva...some say that when Baba Santa Singh became ill, Balbir Singh is supposed to have forcefully taken control of property through forced thumb prints and so he took control over Budha Dal by force. Today, some accept him as Jathedar out of fear/greed/apathy, while others have boycotted him. Hence why you now have Baba Surjeet Singh also being seen as the Jathedars of Budha dal and his absence while in jail, it is Baba Joginder Singh (Rakba).

  26. Change has to come within Sikh Community. If we keep voting for opportunist, individuals who exploit the community, then we have no reason to whine collectively as community. We bring punjab mentality here which gives our so called leaders to flirt with the idea of punjab type politics. In general, we as community need to set the bar high or precedent that just because you have dhara or some punjabi sikh name in election does not mean you will get automatic votes. All punjabi type politicians need to be summon by community leaders to explain themselves why should we vote for your party? Not you but your party? We are not even asking right questions here as we limit ourselves to mp in our area and not looking at larger implication- nation wide interest. We sikhs should not only look for personal interest but nation wide interest as whole as well as we ask for sarbat da bhalla every day. Here in Canada, i laugh at all these right wing conservatives sikh politicians and sikhs who supported them. How could a sikh politician be evangelical or Anglican conservatives is beyond me...!!!! Now conservatives who are in majority power came back and bite us in our arse..!! We are truly are our worst enemies..!!

  29. To anyone who identifies themself as an Indian: Why has your govt. killed your innocent brothers and sisters? Why have the killers become cabinet ministers? Why have crooked police officers been given awards? Why is Gandhi the hero of your country, when he made derogatory remarks about Guru Gobind Singh? Why did Pakistan approve a Sikh marriage act before India? Why are Sikhs still not recognized as a separate religion in India? Why did the Indian army slaughter Sikhs in Kashmir? Why were tanks brought into Golden Temple? Why were innocent pilgrims killed? Why was the attack done on a major Sikh holiday? Why was the library at Akal Takht burned? Why are they still discovering mass graves from the '84 Sikh Genocide? Why are the whisteblowers harassed? Why isn't anyone investigating? Why was Jaswant Singh Khalra abducted and killed for inquiring about the innocent Sikh youth killed by Punjab Police, under Congress Chief Minister Beant Singh? Why is Sikhi saroop, given by Guru Gobind Singh, relentlessly mocked in the Indian media?

  32. So many Sikhs live in Thailand, Malasia, Singhapore yet no translation in Thai, Malay or Chinese. We have Sikhs living in every state of India, we should have translations in all the local languages. So many Sikhs live in Dubai who have knowledge of Arabic, yet we don't have any translations in Arabic either. I don't know any of these languages but I wish I did. If one cannot translate all of SGGS I can understand, but atleast one who has knowledge of anyone of these languages should try to translate some Gurbani maybe starting off with Japji Sahib and then slowly the rest of the Nitnem and posting it on the internet. This is a great way to do Parchar of Gurbani and also seva.

  34. Okay, I am really confused about this topic as well.. but about jhootha there is a shabad from Gurbani: http://www.sikhitothemax.com/Page.asp?SourceID=G&PageNo=&ShabadID=2010 ਦੂਧੁ ਤ ਬਛਰੈ ਥਨਹੁ ਬਿਟਾਰਿਓ || The calf has contaminated the milk in the teats. ਫੂਲੁ ਭਵਰਿ ਜਲੁ ਮੀਨਿ ਬਿਗਾਰਿਓ ||੧|| The bumble bee has contaminated the flower, and the fish the water. ||1|| ਮਾਈ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਪੂਜਾ ਕਹਾ ਲੈ ਚਰਾਵਉ || O mother, where shall I find any offering for the Lord's worship? ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਫੂਲੁ ਅਨੂਪੁ ਨ ਪਾਵਉ ||੧|| ਰਹਾਉ || I cannot find any other flowers worthy of the incomparable Lord. ||1||Pause|| So pretty much this states that pretty much everything is 'jhootha' and we cannot really claim anything as 'pure' or 'sucha' in that means..but i do believe in proper sanitation and also I am questionable about the fact that amritdharis should only eat from amritdharis.. what difference does that make if we say that god resides in all of us.. and this is another shabad that kinda states that all the stuff we do to attain 'purity' is worthless..Isn't that the same thing that the bramins did? ਅਭਾਖਿਆ ਕਾ ਕੁਠਾ ਬਕਰਾ ਖਾਣਾ || They eat the meat of the goats, killed after the Muslim prayers are read over them, ਚਉਕੇ ਉਪਰਿ ਕਿਸੈ ਨ ਜਾਣਾ || but they do not allow anyone else to enter their kitchen areas. ਦੇ ਕੈ ਚਉਕਾ ਕਢੀ ਕਾਰ || They draw lines around them, plastering the ground with cow-dung. ਉਪਰਿ ਆਇ ਬੈਠੇ ਕੂੜਿਆਰ || The false come and sit within them. read the whole shabad.. http://www.sikhitothemax.com/page.asp?ShabadID=1738 If your mind is strong then why does it matter who prepared your food.. and logically there is no way that the food that we eat only comes in contact with amritdharis only and what makes you think that washing it makes it any 'pure' (not referring to sanitation)? you do not know where it was sitting and who packed it..and i guess we can argue about this all we want.. everybody has different mentality on this issue...I think if your naam-simran is so strong these things shouldn't mean anything to you..

  35. Bakwaas topic. I'm all for a laugh but this is taking the piss. If a Singh gets kaamic thoughts looking at other Singhs bathing in a sarovar (as well as post-ishnaan when Singh has exited the sarovar) then he needs his head kicked in. Simple solution: Don't look.
