From the surviving manuscripts that were created in dasmesh pita's darbar, it's patently obvious that Guru ji encouraged (and personally patronised) the acquisition of knowledge in all fields - religious and otherwise. You might need speakers to hear this more clearly:

First of all why would they spear this bir and then leave it as evidence, the story doesnt make sense. The bir looks like it has fire damage. Is there anymore pictures of this bir to see how the damage looks on other parts.

it looks like it has fire damage, not damage from a spear.

I'm not a professional penji Singhni, but you mention your past and young age negativity. It maybe that your past is coming to surface and you are not coping with how to deal with it. Gurbani is for your soul spiritually, but if you are getting thoughts as you say, then firstly do Ardas to Waheguru to help you through this. Secondly, I think you should go to your doctor and ask for help. It sounds like you are trying to get rid of the root of the problem by only Gurbani. Are you going through a stressful time? Are you taking on too much than you can handle. You have just started work, maybe you are tiring yourself out without realising it. Try to get some counselling and get your blood tests done, Vitamin D study and vitamin b12 ask for it. Have a health check up, some doctors are offering them, but ask for one yourself if yours isn't. Hope you get the help you need and think positive Okji.

I ageee with SadSingh, that doesnt in any way shape or form look like penetration damage. Especially the browning at the edges of the damage.

What is the evidence for this?

This doesn't make sense, if Bhai Mani Singh Ji had access to this bir then why was he looking for parts of Dasam granth mentioned in the letter to Mata Sundri Ji.

In many ways, being a religious figure in the truest sense of the word is incredibly difficult, more so in modern times. I can completely appreciate why Dasme Paatshah said it's not enough to know only about your own scriptures. Scoping out the opposition (as well as the non-theist aspect of modern belief systems) is vital.

Truer words have rarely been spoken about these matters (and I'm not trying to 'jock-ride'!).

Since the Mota got arrested, that is what is keeping him alive. I have heard that Sikhs in J&K are very angry at this incident and are trying to find out his address along with his friends who were also beating the Sikh. If the fat guy is released, its likely he wont be able to go anywhere without constant police protection. Hopefully soon Singhs in india will make an example of him.

For me, I've always considered saintliness to encompass more than the physical act of adhering to a religious path and being firm in its tenets. In my opinion, it includes physical fitness, a restrained yet nourishing diet, a broad knowledge of many subjects not limited to religious do's and dont's, a basic yet incisive grasp on human psychology, etc. Anyone in the modern age who has aspirations of genuinely reaching out to people in order to positively affect others on a spiritual level needs to know their stuff. The days of ill-tempered babeh sitting on stages, admonishing the sangat and adding masaleh to their sakhiyan are long gone. People aren't as trusting or gullible as they use to be.

From the video I can only guess that it must have been a traffic related conflict and the victim is a mere teenager/kid while the attackers are fully grown men. In a country like India such brutal attacks in even minor traffic related conflict is normal. Some disturbing points to note: 1. The attackers do full beadbi of the Kesh of the Sikh kid. All Indians know that the kesh of a Sikh is sacred. So pulling it was a deliberate attempt. 2. Before getting to his kesh, they must have knocked off his Dastar. And again, all Indians know that the Dastar is the symbol of Sikh identity and pride. So going for his Dastar was also a deliberate attempt at humiliating his disrespecting his faith. 3. You can see a few Sikhs standing there, but not one has the courage to intervene and help a fellow Sikh in distress. This is what I find the most disturbing. When you can see a Sikhs dastar being knocked off and beadbi is being done of his Kesh, your blood should boil in rage. But not one reacts. Would puratan Singhs like Baba Deep Singh Jee, Banda Singh Bahadur or Akali Phula Singh have just stood there and watched like a helpless spectator? Khalsa of old were helping non Sikhs in distress and fighting ferocious Pathans but today's Sikh cannot even defend a fellow Sikh against a tobacco chewing Hindu. This has got to be our lowest point. Some Sikhs today still fight back like this Sikh truck driver who retaliated and these cowards all ran away: another case is this: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/Man-murders-businessman-with-his-kirpan/articleshow/28533861.cms In this case this Sikh man was attacked by mob. When his dastar was knocked off, he retaliated by killing one of the assailants and sending another one to the hospital. Some of you with your western values may think this is wrong, but if this Sikh man and the Sikh truck driver had not reacted the way they did, they would have ended up just like the Sikh kid in the video who had beadbi done of his kesh, dastar, and was publicly humiliated while being brutally beaten. India is a jungly country with jungly raaj. Law of the jungle. You cannot act like a western gentle man with these savages. You must act like a savage with a savage. That's the only language they understand. A few years ago, my brother was traveling somewhere in Punjab in his jeep. He had a minor traffic related conflict with a Bhaya. This Bhaya went away and came back with two of his friends, now all three of them came back armed with Sothis(long sticks) which they intended to use against my bro. What they didn't know was my bro was also fully armed because he's a tyar bar tyar Singh. So my brother(who is a well built man) steps outside his jeep with his Gandasa. And fearlessly with full beer rass, he challenges them to step forward if they all want to die. Suffice to say, all three of them started pleading. This video should serve as a wake up call. Join a gym, get well build along with learning how to fight. Read Chandi Di Vaar for that extra martial spirit. If you see a Sikh in distress, don't stand there like a Hijda. Do something to help your fellow Sikh because all Sikhs are brothers. If we don't stand up for each other, no one else will. Attack on one is an attack on all. Never show fear to them. Because they only fight you and beat you up if they think you will not fight back or show fear and act meek.

What is the reaction of the Tyar Byar Singhs then?

Yeah it doesnt look like him.
