CHANDIGARH: Army deserters or self-styled 'dharmi faujis' appear to have no regrets about deserting the barracks 19 years ago 'to defend Sri Darbar Sahib in Amritsar.'

Justifying the choice they made in 1984, dharmi faujis said on Sunday every Sikh soldier placed his hand on the saffron flag after his recruitment and swore he would not let any harm come to Sri Guru Granth Sahib. He then placed his hand on Sri Guru Granth Sahib and swore he would not let any harm come to the tri-colour.

A representative of the Dharmi Fauji Association said, "If the Guru Granth Sahib was being desecrated, what was the use of protecting the tri-colour."

The faujis were here on Sunday as part of a felicitation ceremony organised by the Spokesman Trust to distribute cheques of Rs 13.2 lakh among 132 faujis, who had deserted their barracks protesting Operation Blue Star in June 1984.

A book detailing the events that preceded their march towards Amritsar was also released. The 'dharmi faujis' called upon the Central government to consider awarding them pensions as their love for the country had not diminished and they could not be dubbed as rebels.

The representative said, "We had left the barracks to protest the insult being heaped on our Guru. We were in possession of weapons but caused no harm to anyone. We harboured no ill will against anyone." The 'dharmi faujis' regretted that different agencies had garnered funds to rehabilitate them but the money was always siphoned off before it reached them.

      Amrit

      By VSinghz7 · Posted

      Sri Kesgarh Sahib (and Akaal Takht) has always allowed eating meat for those who take Amrit there, as long as it's not ritually killed like halaal.  They've followed the official Sikh Rehat Maryada since it was made in the 30s, before that they were Nihang Maryada who also allow meat. So no Panj Pyaare have ever mandated being veg at Anandpur Sahib. You can read the full Sikh Rehat Maryada in English, it includes the Panj Pyaare are meant to say on the day (page 57 I believe). My cousin took Amrit at Anandpur Sahib and my other one in Darbar Sahib 8 years later. I recently showed them both this page and they said that's exactly what the Panj said to them word for word at their Sanchaars

      Takin amrit at Anandpur Sahib

      By VSinghz7 · Posted

      Anandpur Sahib does and always has followed the Sikh Rehat Maryada, same as Darbar Sahib in Amritsar. They allow you to eat any eggs, fish or meat as long it is not Halal meat/killed Ritualistically. They say Kes is the Kakkar, not Keski. I believe only AKJ says that and nobody else. You can read the full Sikh Rehat Maryada, page 56-7 I believe is what the Panj Pyaare are meant to say on the day. My cousin took Amrit at Anandpur Sahib and the other in Darbar Sahib 8 years later. I showed them both this page and they said that is exactly what the Panj said to them word for word at their Sanchaar

      Why do we recite Chaupai and Anand Sahib in Rehras if Guru Ji never told us to?

      By VSinghz7 · Posted

      All Sikhs must recite Rehras Sahib daily but Chaupai Sahib and the short Anand Sahib were only added to it by SGPC and other jathebandis in the 1900s. In Guru Granth Sahib Ji's saroop, "Sodar Rehras" appears from "So dar tera keha" to "Saran pare ki rakho sarma", which is basically the first half of "Rehras" in all standard Gutka Sahibaan. So why do we recite these? Obviously doing more Baani can never be bad, but most Amritdharis recite Benti Chaupai and Anand Sahib in their morning Nitnem so why should we recite these two Baania again instead of a new one? That time could be used to read Shastar Naam Mala, Shabad Hazaare etc. And why do these two Baanis get more importance than the others? Surely if we recite Chaupai Sahib and (part of) Anand Sahib twice in a day then we should also recite Japji Sahib, Jaap Sahib and Tav Prasad Savaiya twice as well? Note: Pls correct me if I'm wrong about SGPC. My theory is that they added these into Rehras Sahib cos they removed them from the morning Baania but still had to include them in the daily Nitnem somehow, but this doesn't explain why older Samparde like Budha Dal also have this version of Rehras Sahib in their Gutkeh - someone enlighten Daas pls Bhul Chuk Maaf
