New Delhi (KP) - Shahbaaz Khalsa and the Dharam Parchar wing of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (DSGPC) took into possession two saroops of Sri Gruru Granth Sahib Ji that were being disrespected at a Hindu Mandir in New Delhi.

In a joint effort, the saroops of Sri Gruru Granth Sahib Ji were removed from the ‘Hari Om Mandir’ in Lajpat Nagar in Delhi by the sevadars of both organizations. The 3 saroops, one in Gurmukhi, the other in Sindhi, were taken with the utmost respect by 40 to 50 Singhs to Gurdwara Rakabganj Sahib.

Shahbaaz Khalsa vice president Bhai Avtar Singh Delhi, DSGPC Dharam Parchar Committee chairman Bhai Tarsem Singh and vice chairman Bhai Avtar Singh Kalka, as well as many others Gursikhs were present during this occasion.

The organizers noted that despite the fact that this Hindu mandir is situated in an affluent locality where most of the residents are well educated, the disrespect of the sacred saroops still continued to occur.

The saroops of Sri Gruru Granth Sahib Ji were being kept next to idols of various Hindu deities. The pandit of the mandir used to preach to the congregation that the holy saroops were part of the Hindu faith. Those very rituals that Guru Nanak Dev Ji admonished, were being practiced shamelessly in the presence of the saroops.

A written statement was issued to the management of the mandir warning them to refrain from such sacrilege in the future.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

A good example to use with the Authorities regarding the issue of Mandirs keeping Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Saroop on their premises in the UK!

Looks like a few panthic missions took place on the 16 July around the world.

Yes, we can use this against Ek Niwas if they try and be obstructive.

Nice to see Sikhs in India being pro-active.

Looks like there is a bit of a revivalist movement occuring in Sikhi, and not a moment too soon.
