Do you actually think that EDL, BNP and other racist parties differentiate between Muslims and other Asian groups? These groups are a waste of time and shame on those 'Sikhs' that support them. Their ideology is goes against Gurbani and the principles of our Guru Sahiban. Many Muslims oppose these Wahabbi minded Muslims. These radicals do not represent the majority. It is the Muslims themselves that suffer the most from these radical elements. Gursikhs should stand up for the truth and fight injustice. Gurbani gives us the ability to decipher what is falsehood and what is truth. There are black sheep in every community, I will not judge a nation/religion on these black sheep. Satguru Mehar Karan!

Takht sri Patna Sahib is located in Bihar. Whether the Granth Sahib was procured from a normal Gurdwara in Bihar or sri Takht Sahib it is a serious crime. If the management committee of the Gurdwara were involved in this deal then it is even more serious. What has the SGPC or sri Akal Takht sahib done so far? So many cases of beadbi but no action. I have no faith that the SGPC or Jathedars will pursue this matter with any conviction. The SGPC should conduct its own independent investigation into this matter not just the dehli police: "While Babbar, Gautam and Santosh Singh have been arrested, a team of Delhi police is in Bihar to investigate the matter. “The police are trying to ascertain as to from where the copy was procured,” SHO added." I reckon Gursikhs from UK, Canada, America, Italy and other sikh sangat outside of Punjab could do a better job then SGPC/Jathedars in regards to satkar of dhan sri Guru Granth Sahib ji. Gursikhs in Panjab are unaware of the beadbi occurring because the media is controlled by politicians. Satguru Mehar Karan

bhai N30 Singh jeeo That vichar with bhai Kulbir Singh ji was very good, I have read it before. After doing some research it seems as if that samprdaee Gursikhs lean towards the 5 Khands being an avastha. Also scholars and professors such as prof Sahib Singh ji and prof Teja Singh ji think of the 5 Khands as an avastha/stage of spirituality. I am not 100% sure on Taksals view on the 5 Khands. I think that bhai Vir Singh ji however refers to the Khands as realms/places like bhai Randhir Singh ji. I think that the Khands beyond Gyan Khand are not made with the same materials as the universe around us ie physical elements. However the amazing thing about realms like Karam khand and Sachkhand is that although they are not material they have a moorat (image) that one can see and experience just like in this universe. Also bhai Randhir Singh mentions that Sachkhand is more populated than the universe in which we reside. This is an amazing concept. I agree with bhai sahib description of the 5 khands being realms rather than spiritual stages. However I have full respect for other views on this subject. One thing is for sure, to reach SachKhand we have to break our bonds with maya and do more bhagti (kirtan, paath and simran). Immense naam simran is the only means to this spiritual destination. Quote: Osingh what do you mean that not everywhere is sachkand, are you trying to say there is a place where God doesnt not reside, i think you need to re-think that. What I am trying to say is that all the Khands are contained within SachKhand. However Sachkhand itself is a seperate location where bhagats who have done the required seva reside. That is why in this Khand there is no lies, deceit, pain, sorrow like in this world. This is because only bhagats reside here, those that have beaten the panj chor and have naam simran going on 24/7 within. In the world we currently reside such bhagats are extremely rare and that is why there is so much dukh (pain) and paap (sins). This earth is drowning in the dark ocean of the panj chor. Surely in SachKhand there is only pure Anand (bliss) everywhere. I agree that Akal Purakh resides everywhere, but this does not mean therefore that everywhere is SachKhand, in my opinion. This is a complicated subject beyond my lowly intelligence. What's amazing is that 100s years have passed since sri Guru Nanak Dev ji uttered this great bani (sri Jap ji). Yet still no-one can comprehend it. Dhan! Guru Nanak Dev ji! Rabb Rakhe

This is an extremely important question. Sackhand is the ultimate destination for a Gursikh just like heaven/jannat is the ultimate destination for christians and muslims. Every religion has some sort of spiritual destination. Also every religion will put certain restrictions on who can enter this spiritual destination. Likewise for Gursikhs the fundamental pre-requisites will include first of all taking amrit, then maintaining rehit, doing paath and kirtan and so on. As for what Sachkhand is or what it looks like is beyond the capacity of our minds to comprehend. It is impossible to describe the realm of Sachkhand because for one it is not made of maya ie physical elements yet it does exist. Many Gursikhs claim that the 5 khands mentioned in sri Jap ji sahib are spiritual stages and not realms. However if you read sri Jap ji sahib, countless bhagats reside in Karam Khand this Khand is right before Sach Khand: ਤਿਥੈ ਭਗਤ ਵਸਹਿ ਕੇ ਲੋਅ ॥ Ŧithai bẖagaṯ vasėh ke lo▫a. The devotees of many worlds dwell there. Unfortunately, this topic has not been covered in the required depth by Sikh writers. Many have come to the conclusion that the khands are just spiritual stages whereas bhai Randhir Singh ji has clearly stated that the 5 khands actually exist. Also I think bhai sahib writes that one can have experience of Sachkhand in this world through the dasam duar, but this requires maintaining rehit and immense meditation on Naam and Gurbani. We need more literature and research into such topics as the 5 khands, sachkhand and so on. Quote: Sachkand is a place where God resides, which is everywhere, as written in Japi shaib. All the khands, planets, universes...... are contained within Sachkhand but this does not mean everywhere is Sachkhand. Sachkhand is a realm in which there is no sorrow, pain or worries, this world in which we live sorrow and pain is everywhere, sri bhagat Ravidas ji ang 345: ਬੇਗਮਪੁਰਾਸਹਰਕੋਨਾਉ Begam purā sahar ko nā▫o. Baygumpura, 'the city without sorrow', is the name of the town ਦੂਖੁ ਅੰਦੋਹੁ ਨਹੀ ਤਿਹਿ ਠਾਉ ॥ Ḏūkẖ anḏohu nahī ṯihi ṯẖā▫o. There is no suffering or anxiety there Rabb Rakhe

Day and Night News: Hand-Written copy of Guru Granth Sahib recovered Three persons have been arrested by the Delhi Police for trying to sell off an old, hand-written copy of the Guru Granth Sahib for Rs 20 crore. The accused have been identified as Praveen Babbar, who owns a hotel in Karol Bagh; Santosh Singh from Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh; and Kalyaneshwar Gautam from West Champaran in Bihar. The accused told cops that the copy of the Guru Granth Sahib was 300 years old and they had procured it at Patna Sahib Gurudwara. A police team has been sent to Bihar to investigate the matter, while expert opinion has been sought to find out the historicity of the holy book. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKoGdod52UM&feature=player_embedded ================================================================= How was this puratan (old) bir of sri Guru Granth Sahib 'procured' from sri Patna Sahib Gurdwara? The SGPC should conduct an investigation into this incident and also set up a team dedicated to preserving puratan bir's of sri Guru Granth Sahib. Satguru Mehar Karan.

It was because of the Sikh Youth show that 10,000s turned up at the 1984 march in London. I can guarantee this year turn out will be less because of 2 factors, cancellation of the sikh youth show and the split that occurred between sangat tv and sikh channel over dastar rally. It is good that Sikh Youth show is returning but disappointed it is not on Sikh Channel. I would urge youth show to try and come to an agreement with Sikh Channel to re-air the show. Maybe there should be a compromise between both sides for the benefit of the sangat. We need more shows to inspire the youth towards Sikhi. Rabb Rakhe

A video of bhai Kulwant Singh ji was shown on Sikh Channel yesterday. It was painful to watch bhai Kulwant Singh dying on a hospital bed. Bhai sahib's body was black all over due to the severe burns. Also bhai Joga Singh ji mentioned that bhai Sohanjit Singh also died last year in the same jail located in Amritsar. In both cases the police claim bhai Kulwant Singh and bhai Sohanjit Singh "committed suicide" is this just coincidence? I have no trust in the Panjab police and the majority view is that the police are involved in the killing of the Sikhs. http://www.neverforget84.com/forum/shaheed-bhai-sohanjit-singh-t223.html Just recently another 17 year old Gursikh bhai Veer Singh ji was also killed after being arrested by the Panjab police: http://www.sikhsiyas...-punjab-police/ Also lets not forget Shaminder Singh Shera who was killed in 2010 and was illegally detained and tortured by the Panjab police. What action has been taken by the Akal Takht Jathedar or SGPC? Maybe they have got more important things to do? So far, I have not heard the Akal Takht Jathedar or SGPC President talk about justice for innoccent Sikhs in jail or talk about any of the shaheed's above. The silence of our leaders is unacceptable. Somebody with the footage of bhai Kulwant Singh ji please post. It was aired yesterday evening on the Sikh Channel. Rabb Rakhe

In my opinion, if you are a Sikh then Badal and Captain do not come close to Simranjit Singh Mann. However the sad truth is that the Pnnjab population is intoxicated in maya. They are more interested in money and material things which is why only Badal and Captain can win the elections. The Panjabi's are not interested in Sikhi and therefore Akali Dal Amritsar (Mann) will not win either the SGPC election or Panjab election. Badal's grip on the Sikh Panth has increased with the support of Jathedars and Sant Samaj. Nobody questions Badal instead he gets honoured with awards and siropas. What has he done for the panth to be honoured with an award like "pride of the panth"? If only we had leaders like Sant Jarnail Singh ji and bhai Fauja Singh ji.............. Satguru Mehar Karan!

Simranjit Singh Mann is better than Badal or Captain. He has always stood on the issue of Khalistan. It was Akali Dal Amritsar that protested when Advani came to sri Darbar Sahib Amritsar. Mann never visited jhoota sauda leader like Amarinder or has political alliance with the likes of Advani (Akali Dal Badal). Simranjit Singh is not perfect but he would definitely be my choice out of the 3 parties as he is standing for Khalistan and other Sikh issues.

GPS ji I am not 100% sure on Dasam Granth Sahib, however no entire bir of sri Guru Granth Sahib ji was hand-written by our Guru Sahiban. I am saying that no 'entire' hand-written bir exists of sri Guru Granth Sahib. Also there are claims of bir's (Guru Granth Sahib ji) written by baba Deep Singh ji and bhai Mani Singh ji but when compared side to side there are differences such as spelling's. If a bir of Guru Granth Sahib ji written by Guru Sahib did exist then there would be no confusion in regards to spellings, mangals etc. The system of producing the Aad Granth was that sri Guru Arjan Dev ji uttered the bani and then had bhai sahib bhai Gurdas ji write it down. Guru Gobind Singh ji also used the same system when producing the Damdami Bir by employing bhai sahib bhai Mani Singh ji to write the bani. In my opinion, Guru Gobind Singh ji would also have used the same system for sri Dasam Granth. The pictures on the site show 'Anandpuri - bir' it says 'corrections' have made by Guru Sahib not that the bir was written by Guru Sahib. More research needs to be done in this subject. Rabb rakhe

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh There are no beer's of either sri Guru Granth Sahib ji Maharaj or sri Dasam Granth ji written by our Guru Sahiban. Our Guru Sahiban selected great Gursikh's such as bhai sahib bhai Gurdas ji (Kartarpuri bir) or bhai sahib bhai Mani Singh ji (Damdami bir) for this seva. Rabb Rakhe

As far as I am aware, there is no saroop of sri Guru Granth Sahib ji written with the pavittar hands of any of our Guru Sahiban. It seems that that our Guru Sahiban did ucharan (spoke) bani and had a Gursikh write it down ie original Aad Granth - bhai sahib bhai Gurdas ji and Damdami Bir - bhai sahib bhai Mani Singh ji. Indeed many puratan saroops were taken away or shaheed/burnt during the 1984 ghallugara. After partiition of India in 1947 many Gursikhs from Pakistan had puratan (old) saroops of Guru Granth Sahib ji in their possesion. They bought over these saroops from Pakistan into Panjab - India. Many of these saroops were handed over to SGPC. So in Sikh Reference Library there were almost 500 puratan hand written sri Guru Granth Sahib. Imagine this many hand written saroops of Guru Maharaj in 1 place. It must have been a great site to see so many puratan saroops of Guru Granth Sahib. Notable saroops in the collection of the Sikh Reference Library was a saroop written by a hazoori likhari of Guru Gobind Singh ji, bhai sahib bhai Hardas ji and a saroop written by bhai sahib bhai Pakhar Mal Dhillon who was the grandson of great gursikh of sri Guru Arjan Dev ji - Choudhari Langah. The saroop of bhai Hardas ji was considered highly shudh (correct) in terms of correct spellings and their is a book on this particular bir of Guru Granth Sahib. We need to get information from the Central Government on what happened to the contents of Sikh Reference Library in 1984. Unfortunately the SGPC is being run by politicians. I have no faith that SGPC will pursue this issue with any vigour. Maybe the evil Congress government has a lot of the content stored in some room somewhere. Our 'Sikh' PM Manmohan Singh could find out in minutes if his government has any material from the Sikh Reference Library in their possession. Again I have no faith that the Congress or PM will pursue this matter. We need to take action on this issue urgently. Maybe Gursikhs from outside India can form some sort of committee to retrieve the priceless material that was stolen by the Congress government. Satguru Mehar Karan! Rabb Rakhe

Thank you for providing answers.

Vaah! What a great response. You are true Gursikhs because you have immediately accepted the vichars of Gursikhs. I highly recommend only stocking pure sarbloh items. Do you stock the items in a warehouse? If so would it be possible to collect items directly from the warehouse? Rabb Rakhe

I would like to make one suggestion. Please make sure sarbloh utensils and kakaars are of pure sarbloh only ie they should rust. As per vichar of sarblohi Gursikhs rust free sarbloh utensils are not suitable. Other than this, you are doing great seva for the panth, its about time we had such a store that can provide essential items such as bana, kakaars and utensils, this should have happened a long time ago. Do you have an actual shop or is the store online only. If you have a store please provide address. Dhanvaad and may Guru Sahib bless your Gurmat shop. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

GPS ji "Akali dal is not best but i will think thousand times before equating them to congress a sworn enemy of sikhs." I think your views towards Akali Dal Badal are extremely lenient. My views on Congress are very clear, I recently posted a topic on Captain Amarinder Singh visiting jhoota sauda leader along with Akal Takht Hukamnama. Of course, attacking sri Darbar Sahib is the greatest crime the Congress have committed and the world will never forget this crime. Akal Purakh will surely punish those who attacked and killed innocents Sikhs. However which CM and which party was in power in 1978 when the fake nirankari leader disrespected sri Guru Granth sahib ji in sri Amritsar. 13 jeevan wale, naam-rasiye Gursikhs like bhai Fauja Singh ji gave their lives fighting this dusht. What did Badal do for these Gursikhs? What has Badal done for the panth since he has been in power? Badal recently gave Advani VIP treatment in Punjab. This is the same person that said operation bluestar should have happened sooner. Akali Dal Badal and Congress have caused great damage to Sikh Panth. I would not vote or have any links with these parties. GPS ji we know that Amarinder Singh will not help the Sikhs. What are your views on Parkash Badal? You never seem to criticize Badal only Amarinder.

GPS ji I was writing based on what I heard from the sikh channel. They showed footage of satkar committee member in hospital. From what I have heard it was the task force of SGPC that behaved like thugs and used violence against members of SGPC. It was not satkar committee who initially objected to the way Gurbani pothis were being carried in a dirty vehicle. It was a Nihang Singh who objected and was then attacked. The Nihang Singh then phoned the satkar committee for help.. I was not aware of satkar committtee support for Darshan Singh which is wrong. However 2 wrongs do make a right. We must strongly condemn actions of SGPC for disrespecting Gurbani. We must also remember that SGPC is full of Akali Dal supporters. Akali Dal along with Congress distributed intoxicants for votes in recent elections. Also both parties are corrupt. We must condemn both parties. What is exact truth of what happened, only God knows. There is no trust left in Punjab. Rabb Rakhe

Scuffle between Sikh hardliners and SGPC employees PTI | 09:01 PM,Jan 31,2012 Amritsar, Jan 31 (PTI) A group of nearly 25 people belonging to a hardline Sikh NGO was involved in a minor scuffle with SGPC employees at a gurudwara here over the transportation of religious scripture. The group, belonging to NGO 'Guru Granth Sahib Satkar Committee', had raised objections to the transportation of the religious books in a "dirty" commercial vehicle. When contacted, Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee secretary Dalmegh Singh alleged that a group of nearly 25 people led by one Balbir Singh Muchal and Gurnam Singh attacked the SGPC employees working in the printing press. The matter was brought under control when police reached the spot, he said. ====================================================================================================================== The above news article is wrong. It was the SGPC Taskforce that shamelessly attacked members of the Guru Granth Sahib Satkar Committee. It is the SGPC Taskforce who are the "Hardliners". When members of the Satkar Committee objected to Gurbani being carried in a dirty vehicle they were beaten up by this SGPC Taskforce. The SGPC behaved like thugs. Further to this, it was the SGPC along with its president Avtar Singh Makker who got members of the task force arrested with the help of the police. The innocents were beaten up and sent to jail for trying to uphold the respect of Gurbani. These are the signs of Kaljug. Things seem to be getting darker. The problem is not the SGPC but the people in the SGPC. The SGPC is run by Akali Dal Badal. A corrupt party that distributes intoxicants for votes. Same with sri Akal Takht. Maybe the Jathedar of AKal Takht is not the best leader for the panth but this doens't mean we shoould get rid of the Akal Takht. The Akal Takht will remain because it was built with the pure hands of sri Guru Hargobind Sahib ji along with bhai Gurdas ji and baba Buddha ji. One day the panth will be blessed with a great Jathedar of Akal Takht. The SGPC should be an independent organisation free from political influence. Its members should be elected by the Sikh Panth as well as its president. Currently the SGPC and Akal Takht is being influenced by Akali Dal Badal. May Guru Sahib bless the panth with more true Gursikhs like the Satkar Committee Singhs who tried to uphold the honour of Gurbani. Satguru Mehar Karan

I agree with PAL07 that we need the news footage to clear the confusion however I am unable to locate it. There doesn't seem to be any news articles either. If someone has more info then please post to get a clear picture of what happened. Rabb Rakhe

There is a misunderstanding here. Harnam Singh Dhumma did not do ninda or anything of the Gursikhs. I think that a leaflet/advertisement was published in which Sant Samaj or Harnam Singh Dhumma used the pictures of bhai Nihal Singh Harianvela, bhai Ajit Singh Hansali wale and bhai Teja Singh (Jathedar of Rara Sahib Samprada) to promote Akali Dal Badal for the elections. However, the Samprada have took exception to this by saying they never gave anyone permission to use their pictures to support any political party. Bhai Baljinder Singh Rara Sahib said that the Rarewale samprada has never supported a political party and its main mission is parchar. He said the publication of the leaflet was wrong. Also bhai Sarbjot Singh Bedi said the leaflet was wrong. Mokham Singh of Damdami Taksal put the blame on the Badals. The confusion lies in who created the leaflet and used the pictures of Gursikhs without their permission. Either Badal or bhai Harnam Singh. If someone has the video of the news please post it was on 'Day and Night News'. Regardless Sant Samaj should never have joined with Badal. It would be great if bhai Harnam Singh and Sant Samaj break ties with Badals and other political parties. Why don't Simranjit Singh Maan, Sant Samaj, AKJ and other Samprada unite? We need a party to counter both Congress and Akali Dal. If only our panthic Jathebandis could unite. We will never get Khalistan or justice by uniting with Congress or Badal. We need a new party. Maybe this can be set up with help from Sikh Sangat from UK, Canada, US and European countries. Satguru Mehar Karan

The jhoota sauda sect otherwise known as 'sacha sauda' has disrespected the Sikh dharam and its leader is accused accused of rape and murder. The leader of this sect disrespected dhan Guru Gobind Singh ji by preparing his own version of amrit and also tried to imitate Guru Gobind Singh ji. Even in light of all these sinful actions, the leader of Congress along with his wife have visited this dera which is 100% against the Hukumnama from Akal Takht. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSvsPsjzVlY Hukam no.3 clearly states that no the Sikh Sangat should have no religious or political links with this dera. Manpreet Badal has also visited this dera. Also newspapers are reporting that many from Akali Dal Badal have visited this dera. All our political parties in Panjab have let the Sikhs down. How can any Sikh support parties that directly violate a Hukumnama from Akal Takht? How can these leaders support a person that is accused of rape and murder? Also the general public have to share the blame in this. They should be boycotting all these parties and demanding a revolution or the formation of a new party. The only party that is supporting Sikhs is Simranjit Singh Maan's party. Unfortunately it seems that the citizens of Panjab prefer to vote for dushts like Captain and Badal. Rabb Rakhe

"Exactly, we don't need to vote for any of these parties for panthic issue." I agree with veer GPS ji in that this is not an issue that only concerns the Sikh Panth but the whole of Panjab. The rape of women and murder are issues that concern us all and as Sikhs or non-Sikhs we want justice. We cannot just stand by and say this is what politicians do. This attitude cannot lead to chardi kala of the panth or chardi kala of Panjab. I also agree with GPS ji in that Sikhisis not related to socialism. I think Sikhi is closer to capitalism in that one should earn a living and not rely on the government. The current economic climate is partly due to policies of socialism such as governemnt spending which has now lead the Western nations into huge debt causing a worldwide reccession. For me, socialism is too close to communism. No system is perfect and as Gursikh's we should focus on advancing our lives spritiually through Naam and Gurbani. No political party at the moment will help Sikhs bar Simranjit Singh Maan. The world is in the clutches of the panj chor and is intoxicated in maya. However, Sikhs have the ultimate weapons to fight panj chor in Gurbani. "We have our vatican- sri akaal takth sahib for that, as i keep repeating if Sri akaal takth sahib can use some of its money from their annual 200 crore revenue they make to solve issues for sikhs in punjab." Our Sikh vatican is controlled by Akali Dal Badal. Our jathedars recently gave Badal an award infront of Akal Takht. Even Sant Samaj aligned with Badal. The only way SGPC can help panth is if they break all links with political parties. Rabb Rakhe

"Also your post regarding him visiting dera sacha sauda to beg votes..thats normally politician do..thats their job, it be political suicide if does not.all dera followers vote would be gone..I would be outraged if our jathedar sahiban did or sgpc board members visited him but cm? no issue there..he is a politician, the fact akali dal, congress visited him..i don't see much issue. They will all do that for votes, they will make gadda as their father if it comes to their seat." The actions/deeds of political leaders matters very much. These leaders know of the sinful actions of Jhoota Saucha and its leader. This leader of this organisation is accused of rape and murder. Only a person with no heart would visit these leader for votes. The fact that all 3 parties are visiting this leader for votes is shameless. It disgusts me that these leaders will allow this person to rob innocent people of their money and women of their dignity just for votes. My concious says this wrong and I will not endorse any of these parties. A real leader a person with just 1% morals would declare that he/she will bring this organisation along with other anti-sikh sects like noormehalie to justice. They are not just hurting Sikhs but ordinary citizens in general. How can we standy by and let these thugs carry on with their immoral activities? Surely with the killing of Darshan Singh and the rape of women enough is enough. I want a leader that will take these thugs to court and put them behind bars. Satguru Mehar Karan

The present situation in regards to politics and general human values is at an all time low in Panjab. There is no freedom of expression in Panjab, just recently Sukhi Singh Chahal an NRI from the USA and founder of the Punjab Foundation - http://www.punjabfou....org/index.html conducted an interview with former Jathedar of Akal Takht, Ranjit Singh in which the present government in Panjab ( Akal Dal Badal) was criticised. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgjrXIjL3Gc Mr. Chahal resides in the USA but has a strong connection with his motherland Panjab. He has raised awareness of things such as cancer and clean water as well as raising the topic of corruption. He talks about PTC Badal owned channel and kirtan from Darbar Sahib: PTC news channel, 822 on Sky is owned by Badal and totally biased. They never show anti-badal news. This channel also broadcasts kirtan from sri Darbar Sahib but right after the paath and kirtan, bollywood videos are aired. These Badals have no love for Sikhi. They only care about money and power. For speaking about freedom of the press and criticising the Badal regime it looks like Mr. Chahal has had to pay a price. He has just been arrested by the Panjab Police: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vwi1vuDcK_o&feature=player_embedded#! There is no justice in Panjab. The current situation is very dire. Both parties are corrupt, Congress and Akali Dal Badal, yet only Congress and Akali Dal Badal can win. May Guru Sahib bless Punjab with freedom and our own homeland of Khalistan. Satguru Mehar Karan! Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

Make your mind up Onkar Bhaji, which one is it? Veer Chatanga ji, I have stated that I respect and learn from my elder Gursikh brothers from the various sampradaee such as Kavi Santokh Singh ji of Nirmala samparda and author of the great historical granth, Suraj Parkash and Giani Gurbachan Singh ji Khalsa, jathedar of Damdami Taksal. We should also respect these great Gurmukhs. However my personal opinion is that samprada were not created by any of our Guru Sahibaan. I believe in 1 panth and 1 maryada. I do not believe that every Sikh must take Amrit from panj piare and that panj kakaar have to be worn at all times. Also I am 100% against the eating of meat/jhatka and putting blood on shasters. For me Guru Gobind Singh Sahib created 1 samprada/panth/jathebandi whatever and that is called the Khalsa. But I will also stress that we should maintain a mutual respect between each others beliefs. At the end of the day we are all united by our have prem and sharda in Guru Nanak Dev ji. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh
