Please discuss? I don't see any reference for their contribution? I know Bhai Randhir Singh ji was there but most of the contribution comes from non-AKJ singhs.

Nihangs even threatened Swami Dayanand Saraswati when he spoke insipid about Guru Nanak Dev ji and later on he apologized.

What are the three pillars of the Sikh faith? Three Rudiments of Life as promoted by Sikh faith are:

1. Kirt Karo - Work hard

2. Naam Japo - Worship the Lord

3. Wand Chhako - Share your earnings

If I go by your post then AkJ is doing only number 2..

This is the reason why Kirt Karo, Naam japo and Wand Chhako need to work together. One of them working in isolation is not the complete remedy. Guru Nanak Dev ji also refered to it:

The physician is sent for to prescribe remedy;

He taketh my hand and feeleth my pulse.

The ignorant physician knoweth not

That it is my mind the pain is.

Physician, go home, take not my curse with thee.

I am imbued with my Lord, to whom givest thou medicine…?

Let's make pentinence the paper, Thy name,

O Lord, the prescription…

What does the Guru suggest:

Make countenance thy furnace, resignation thy goldsmith,

Understanding thy anvil, divine knowledge thy tools,

The fear of God thy bellows, austerities thy fire,

Divine love thy crucible, and melts God's name therein.

In such a true mint the Word shall be coined.

Also, can anyone of you anwser these questions? You have right to remain silent if you don't want to but don't worry its not "Nindiya" because sikhism allows us to question anything we don't understand within our panth.

* How many Punjabi farmers' families who committed suicide because of financial poverty are being supported by AKJ?

* How many struggling Sikh students in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia or wherever AKJ has membership are being financially supported by AKJ to help then through college?

* How many non-Sikh hungry people are being fed by kitchens run by AKJ?

* Did AKJ send any representation to famine hit places around the globe?

* How many AKJ members who are doctors are members of the organization Doctors Without Borders and represent AKJ by volunteering their services to the underpriviledged?

* How many AKJ members who are professors represent AKJ by spending their sabatical break teaching in towns and cities that lacks good teachers?

Learner singh veer i think those questions are for all of us as sikh not just AKJ or a particular jathaa. Don't expect other people to do things, we need to do them, others will follow. grin.gif

AKJ gursikhs do a lot.. most of them work hard just like every other SIKH..

      Concept of Sin

      By BhForce · Posted

      I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!

      Is suraj parkash right? is it a reliable source of info?

      By BhForce · Posted

      Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
