Heritage Complex to be completed by next Baisakhi

Kiran Deep

Tribune News Service

Anandpur Sahib, April 14

Inaugural function of first phase of the Khalsa Heritage Complex (KHC) here today turned out to be a show of Chief Minister Amarinder Singh’s religious and political strength the SGPC had protested that the KHC should be inaugurated by ‘Panj Piaras’ not by the CM. Religious heads of Sikh organisations from Delhi, Punjab and prominent Congress leaders were present here.

Amidst chaos the KHC was inaugurated by five eminent Sikh personalities in the presence of the Chief Minister on Baisakhi. However former Jathedar and head granthi of Akal Takht Puran Singh boycotted the function but another former Jathedar of Akal Takht Bhai Jasbir Singh Rode performed Ardas prayer before the inauguration.

Apparently unhappy with the SGPC, although the CM denied that he did not inaugurate the KHC as the SGPC had opposed it but he said I do not care about the SGPC and it has nothing to do about the inauguration of the KHC. He also alleged that Rs 50 crore were allocated for the KHC when Mr Badal was the Chief Minister but he spent only Rs 43 crore and no body knew where he spent the rest of Rs 7 crore.

President of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee Harvinder Singh Sarna had brought here 40 religious leaders of various orgnisations. Besides, it a large number of heads of the Sikh religious bodies including Baba Manmohan Singh from Baran (Patiala), Baba Hardev Singh Duma, head Damdami Taksal, president of the Sant Samaj Sarbjot Singh Bedi, also joined the CM here.

Confusion prevailed when the CM accompanied by PPCC president Shamsher Singh Dullo, Deputy Chief Minister Rajinder Kaur Bhattal and his other Cabinet colleagues Partap Singh Bajwa, Jagmohan Kang, Parliamentary Secretary Industry and Commerce, K.P.S. Rana, Anandpur Sahib MLA, Dr Ramesh Dutt Sharma arrived at 9.45 a.m. here.

The CM along with others immediately left for the PSEB rest house when he learnt that the arrangement made was not appropriate for the religious function. Thereafter priests brought Guru Granth Sahib to gallery room to perform prayer. For an hour, the CM along with others visited the KHC for inauguration.

The CM also announced Guru Gobind Singh Marg from Takht Sri Keshgarh Sahib Anandpur Sahib to Takht Sri Dam Dama Sahib Talwandi Sabo would be extended up to Takht Sri Sach Khand Hazur Sahib by 2008 on the 300th anniversary of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. He said a blueprint of this project had been conceptualised and modalities were being worked out with the four governments of Haryana, Delhi, Madya Pradesh and Maharashtra to execute this project within the stipulated time.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
