I have a question for everyone.

If someone tells you that Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is not the Guru....and instead they say it is a man....what do you do? I am faced with a dilemma...i know of a man who is teaching kirtan to kids and telling them that Guru Ji isnt the real Guru. Should this man be allowed anywhere near Sikh kids or vulnerable people? Should he be given a stage? Should he be accepted by the Khalsa Panth? Should i not say anything to him? If he is mis-guiding people then should we not excommunicate him?

Please advise.

Guru Gobind Singh Ji declared Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji as his successor and the one and only Guru for the rest of eternity. THere can be no other person claiming himself to be the successor of the Gurus. ANyone who says otherwise is totally misguided, needs help, and shouldn't be preaching since they are preaching the wrong info.

Sri Guru Granth SAhib contains the bani of our Gurus and bhagats, and it says "Bani Guru, Guru hai bani." So if someone is saying its 'not really teh guru' then he's got another thing coming at him.

phaenjee.. If you can't raise this issue with gurdwara members/leaders, you should inform the parents of the kids.

Please don't mind me saying.. but What is accepted in panth or whom should be exclude from sikh panth is very huge job and we should leave it to the singhs/kaurs who carries vast knowledge of sikh religion and culture. :lol:

I suggest you tell an elder, the Gurdwara ParDhaan, local Gursikh or the Granthi Singh. Ensure that this man is not in a situation where he can indoctrinate innocent children. Sadly brainwashing kids is often used by Pakhandi groups to break people away from Guru Granth-Guru Panth.

Here are some useful articles for you:

" Who says 'Sri Granth' is Guru? "

" Guru Maaniyo Granth. "

Is the teacher a Namdhari? If so, then you might as well accept the fact that he will only believe in his guru. Simple solution, don't learn off him if it's affecting your Sikhi. There are GurSikh teachers out there.

Advise others of the situation and let them make their own decision. If they still want to learnt a Gurmant activity from this person then they are just lame.

    • Definitely the Guru Sahibs would be a heavier Scriptures to handle. Dasam Granth is more towards Bir Rass, Guru Gobind Singh showed his Greatness (of course, they would never say this) by separating his own Baania.  And the BIGGEST test of all?? Do we try and read Dasam Granth, Understand n show respect like we do to SGGS? Or... Do we QUESTION it? Guru Gobind Singh Ji is testing us. 
    • My wife will be going for an MRI scan next week but her Kara won’t physically come off.  Is there any way the mri scan can be done with the Kara still on?  The alternative is we will have to try to saw it off before the scan.  
    • was researching this and came back to this thread. Also found an older thread:    
    • Net pay after taxes. If you don't agree, think about this: If you were a trader and started off in China with silk that cost 100 rupees and came to India, and you had to pay total 800 rupees taxes at every small kingdom along the way, and then sold your goods for 1000 rupees, you'd have 100 rupees left, right? If your daswandh is on the gross, that's 100 rupees, meaning you have nothing left. Obviously, you owe only 10% of 100, not 10% of 1000. No, it's 10% before bills and other expenses. These expenses are not your expenses to earn money. They are consumption. If you are a business owner, you take out all expenses, including rent, shop electricity, cost of goods sold, advertising, and government taxes. Whatever is left is your profit and you owe 10% of that.  If you are an employee, you are also entitled to deduct the cost of earning money. That would be government taxes. Everything else is consumption.    
    • No, bro, it's simply not true that no one talks about Simran. Where did you hear that? Swingdon? The entire Sikh world talks about doing Simran, whether it's Maskeen ji, Giani Pinderpal Singh, Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi, or Sants. So what are you talking about? Agreed. Agreed. Well, if every bani were exactly the same, then why would Guru ji even write anything after writing Japji Sahib? We should all enjoy all the banis. No, Gurbani tells you to do Simran, but it's not just "the manual". Gurbani itself also has cleansing powers. I'm not saying not to do Simran. Do it. But Gurbani is not merely "the manual". Reading and singing Gurbani is spiritually helpful: ਪ੍ਰਭ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਭਾਖਿਆ ॥  ਗਾਵਹੁ ਸੁਣਹੁ ਪੜਹੁ ਨਿਤ ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੈ ਤੂ ਰਾਖਿਆ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The Lord's Bani and the words are the best utterances. Ever sing hear and recite them, O brother and the Perfect Guru shall save thee. Pause. p611 Here Guru ji shows the importance of both Bani and Naam: ਆਇਓ ਸੁਨਨ ਪੜਨ ਕਉ ਬਾਣੀ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿ ਲਗਹਿ ਅਨ ਲਾਲਚਿ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਪਰਾਣੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The mortal has come to hear and utter Bani. Forgetting the Name thou attached thyself to other desires. Vain is thy life, O mortal. Pause. p1219 Are there any house manuals that say to read and sing the house manual?
