Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ke Fateh Does any Veer have a contact for Bhai Harjit Singh Mehta Vale? Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ke Fateh

Hum Hindu Nahin (We are not Hindus) was intended to serve a specific purpose. First is-sued in 1898, this small volume was an early contribution to a current controversy concerning the actual identity of the Sikhs. An earlier legal ruling had declared Sikhs to be Hindus. The title of Bhai Kahn Singh's response makes his own view abundantly clear. It represented the dominant view of the Singh Sabha movement and has ever since retained the fame, which it so quietly acquired. It is worth stressing that the approach adopted in this book is neither hostile nor aggressive. In his presentation he took great care to stress that he sought peace, not discord. To quote: "Dear Member of Khalsa you may be surprised when you read what I have writ-ten. You will ask why there should be any need of such a work as 'We are not Hin-dus' when it is perfectly obvious that the Khalsa is indeed distinct from Hindu soci-ety. Or you may want to know why, if such a work is to be written, there should not be books, which show that we are not Muslims or Christians or Buddhists. This book has been written for the benefit of those brethren to whom the following historical parable applies. The tale, briefly, is as fol-lows. Guru Gobind Singh once covered a donkey with a lion skin and set it loose in the wasteland. Men as well as cattle thought it was a lion and were so frightened that none dared approach it. Released from the misery of carrying burdens and free to graze fields to its heart's content, the donkey grew plump and strong. It spent its days happily roaming the area around Anandpur. One day, however it was at-tracted by the braying of a mare from its old stable. There it was recognised by the potter who removed the lion skin, replaced its pannier-bags, and once again began whipping it to make it work. "The Guru used this parable to teach his Sikhs an important lesson. 'My dear sons,' he said, 'I have not involved you in a mere pantomime as in the case of this donkey I have freed you, wholly and completely, from the bondage of caste. You have become my sons and Sahib Kaur has become your mother: Do not follow the foolish example of the donkey and return to your old caste allegiance. If forgetting my words and abandoning the sacred faith of the Khalsa you return to your various castes your fate will be that of the donkey. Your courage will desert you and you will have lived your lives in vain'. " Many of our brethren are in fact neglecting this aspect of the Guru's teaching. Al-though they regard themselves as Sikhs of the KhaIsa they accept the Hindu tradition. They imagine that it is actually harmful to observe the teachings of Gurbani by ac-knowledging the other. Sikh relgion is dis-tinct from the Hindu religion. The reason for this is that they have neither read their own Scriptures with care nor studied the historical past. Instead they have spent their time browsing through erroneous ma-terial and listening to the deceitful words of the self-seeking. The tragedy is that these brethren are falling away from the Khalsa. They forget the benefits which the Almighty Father has bestowed on them - how he has exalted the lowly raised pau-pers to be kings, turned jackals into lions and sparrows into hawks. Seduced by those who oppose the Gurus' teachings, they are ensnared by deceit and thereby forfeit the chance of deliverance, which this human existence confers. "Our country will flourish when people of all religions are loya1 to their own traditions, yet willing to accept other Indians as members of the same family when they recognise that harming one means harming the nation, and when religious differences are no longer an occasion for discord. Let us practice our religion in the harmonious spirit of Guru Nanak, for thus we shall ensure that mutual envy and hatred do not spread. At the same time, you will grow in affection for all your fellow countrymen, recognising all who inhabit this country of India as one with yourself" http://<banned site filter activated>/writers/KahnSingh/KSNabhaPg2.htm

Firstly my master is my Guru, Guru Granth Sahib Ji Second I have no links or affiliations with him Just think it's better to say it to the person rather than backchat, nindya- whoever the person may be Take care / good luck

The best way is to go to the akhara and ask him Don't be afraid!

Sant Mahapursh Baba Jarnail Singh Bhinderanwale was a charismatic person. Do you really think he didn't realise that the line was in context of another 'special meaning'. I personally feel he was having a laugh and taking the mick. 'his level' was much much higher than yours which is obvious through your ego and disrespect. I personally don't agree with all this Niddar Singh bashing on here. Just his view does does not match up with yours, don't mean we do his nindya. If people have a problem with him they should go to his Akhara and have talks with him. I am sure he would be up for that. Better than doing nindya on a website.

I thinks it's okay but as it's full of people's hope and dreams and people who hope to win and get out of poverty it should not be spent on yourself at all Should be used to feed the poor My humble opinion

I've been on quite a few They never argue with each other like we do

Vaheguru I would like to humbly given my experience and I'm sure some of my brothers and sisters on here will share this When I got into Sikhi 3 years ago I could not read Gurmukhi/punjabi I started on English Gutka but used to use it along side a recording This improved my pronunciation but only slightly Only when I started taking santhiya did I realise the major mistakes I was making, and from that point I didn't look back I can now read Gurmukhi and am still taking santhiya to improve pronunciation I feel this is a must if you want to get closer with your guru That's my experience It seems like a uphill struggle but you do make progress - start learning (excuse the bad grammar, downside of using the iPad)

You have a lot of hate just chill Each to their own Stop hating bro And another thing Let the person going there make their own judgement Sikhs are generally clever people, I'm sure people going there will take positives away with them Vaheguru

Good reply

Thanks

I'll be there
