Questions taken from: Sikhawareness.com

Gurfateh Sadh Sangat Ji,

What a blissful week is been for me and others who spent time with Sant Jagjit Singh Ji Harkhowale. Sant Ji is loving great soul/ maha atma and always eager to clear any doubts anyone may have on various subjects on sikh theology, gurmat sidhant and social life/diet issues.

There were many questions youth on this forum and others had for sant jagjit singh ji harkhowale. Unfortunately, due to time constraints not all questions were answered, but most of underlining deep theological questions were covered either in the past recording or in this recording.

Anyway here are the list of questions which were answered and covered (Not in any particular order).

- A child 18 months old dies of a cot death , why ? why take such a life at a very young age? .... an earth/sunami quake kills thousands of innocent people , why ? If god exists and our ultimate aim is to be one with waheguru, why didnt GOD protect the innocent ?

- In Gurbani, vak comes- Sat Guru Bina Hor Kachi Hae Bani. From Sikh maryada point of view(pakh) without question without gurbani everything else can be consider kachi bani. But from sikh adhyatam point of view, what constitutes as kachi bani? Ie- Can poetry/one’s anubhav of nirgun, dharna parchar of vahiguroo ji by bhramgyani mahapursh can be consider “kachi bani” ? Can you give me more vichar on athanka of – sat guru bina hor kachi hai bani?

Would this person need to retake amrit? Would they die a bemukh?

Can Baba Ji tell us which samparda/pir its with today and the location?

- what should we as individuals do to prepare for whats coming?? (ie potential world war, famines etc)

- Is Braham Kavach bani?

- Is it true that Shaheed Baba Deep Singh did sawa lakh of this bani and havan before departing to protect Harimandir Sahib?

- Bhagat dhanna did bhagti of a stone that a brahmin pandit gave him. He observed the stone as god but isn't worshipping a stone against gurmat and how did he meet god by this anti gurmat practice?

-Sant ji told us in the past recording that says a person who doesn't meet waheguru in this life will get another chance of human life in the next as long as they did bhagti and kept rehit. Anyway the question is how long does one have to wait to get a chance of human life again?

-what is nirgun upasana? And what is sargun upasana?


- Why do we stand up in ardas...what is the reason for standing?

- What is the essence of sikhi? simple and plain

- Also some penji believe that before taking amrit they should have laser hair treatment on the face and then take amrit as they believe guruji will forgive them for it since they have taken it before amrit. Is this right and allowed?

- If one does penance in this age while combined with bhagti will it be worth more value than just doing bhagti on it's own?

- How can you conquer/completely or control the panj chor?

Plan to Kidnap Sant Bhindranwale

http://dailysikhupdates.com/2014/02/02/plan-to-kidnap-sant-bhindranwale/

Why was there a plan to Kidnap Sant Bhindranwale?

Why Indira wanted Sant Bhindranwale to be dead at any cost? Did Sant Bhindranwale knew something which could had exposed Indira Gandhi, something out of context from Sikh rights/AnandPur Sahib resolution?

Waheguru

From the book "The Gallant Defender-Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale A.R. Darshi

on page 27

Longowal felt frustrated on his failure to push out Sant Bhindranwale. Nevertheless he

continued his vicious onslaughton the gallant Sant He engaged Gurcharan Singh, an

ex-Naxalite, Office Secretary of his Akali Dal to eliminate Sant Bhindranwale at any cost.

This villain employed one Surinder Singh Chhinda and an immoral young woman Baljit Kaur and assigned them the job to exterminate the Sant. Some how or the other they could not succeed in harming the Sant. However both these hired assassins treacheously killed on 14th April, 1984 Surinder Singh Sodhi the trusted right hand man of Sant Bhindranwale. This outrageous crime was committed in the Sindhi Hotel situated just outside the Golden Temple

Complex. Malak Singh Bhatia helped Chhinda to escape after the treacherous murder of

Sodhi. But within 24 hour: Sodhi's death was avenged by killing all the conspirators

including the assassin and his mistress Baljit Kaur. This conspiracy was apparently

hatched at the behest of Longowal. Now Longowal feared that he, too, would be

punished by the Khalsa for his unpardonable and heinous crime. He, therefore, doubled

his efforts to seek help from the Central Government to eliminate Bhindranwale lest he

himself should perish. He talked to Indira Gandhi on telephone and gave her clear signal

to take any action which she deemed fit to eliminate Sant Bhindranwale. lndira Gandhi

and her son, Rajiv Gandhi, had already decided to take military action against

Bhindranwale and for that purpose commandos were being trained at Chakrata, a secret

Centre setup for imparting guerilla training to the selected soldiers. The commandos were

being trained there since March 1984 who were later to be sent to attack the Golden

Temple Complex. A special large model of the Golden Temple Complex was prepared at

Chakrata, to enable the commandos to make themselves familiar with the exit and entry

routes of the Complex so that they may not experience any difficulty at the time of actual

military action to achieve their set goal.

The Gallant Defender

Did Israeli military intelligence group Mossad present and plan operation "blue star" (of david) to the genocidal congress Indian government and its brutal genocidal armed forces?

"In early 1983, six army officers from a classified unit called the Special Group (SG) were flown to a secret base of Sayeret Matkal, the Israeli commando force that led the 1977 rescue of hostages from Entebbe airport in Uganda. The mission, coordinated by RAW with Mossad, was classified because India didn't have diplomatic ties with Israel and it did not want to anger its Arab friends. The officers trained in counter-terror-in carefully recreated landscapes of streets, buildings and vehicles-at the base near Tel Aviv for 22 days"

Seems like there is a bigger Israeli jewish mossad connection than previously thought in regards to the massacre of our beloved people and desecration of our holiest shrine. Also its worth noting that punjab cheif ministers (Badal) current personal security commando's are trained in Israel. Anyone see a pattern emerging?

Did Indian govt reject UK SAS's plan because of costs and chose the "cost effective" Israeli mossads plans instead? If you look back in 1982 you can see what Israeli army under leadership of ariel sharon did to Palestinian refugee camp massacring hundreds of innocent women and children by funding Lebanese christian terrorist militia groups..so they have no problem killing hundreds of innocent people and the world doing nothing about it maybe they advised the same to the Indira's congress govt. Telling them dont worry we have western govts in the pocket do what you want with the Sikhs we will cover your back internationally.

We need to follow this line of research and questioning.

Waheguru

Bhai Sahib here is a interesting quote from the book

The Third Agency was masterminded by R. N. Kao. Chief Security Advisor of Indira

Gandhi. N. F. Santook Ex-Chief Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), G. C. Saxsena, the

present chief of RAW, and R. Shankaran Mair, Director of P.M.'s Secretariat, were other

impor-tant organisers of this super Intelligence Agency. It is surprising that they secured

active professional help, training and guidance from MASSOD, an Intelligence Agency

of Israel with which India had no diplomatic re-lations.

The Third Agency or the RAW was personally su-pervised and controlled by Indira

Gandhi. Her chief aide in this secret Agency was Rajiv Gandhi. Their main ob-jectives

were :

(i) To teach a lesson to the ever-agitating Sikhs and to appease the Hindus so as to turn

them into vote bank of the Congress (I) :
