Dear ones..

I did a search for this answer on the Sikhnet Youth Q/A forum, here it how they responded. Also, after reading this what are the sangat's thoughts/concerns?? Vichaar is always healthy Gursikho..have a blessed day!!

Waheguroo Jee Ka khalsa, Waheguroo Jee kee Fateh!!

Thank you for your question. It is a very good one.

Certainly, as GurSikhs of Wahe Guru and Siri Guru Granth Sahib we are dedicated in humility and devotion to the qualities and legacies of all of the 10 Masters who gave us the Guru Prashad of Sikh Dharma. It seems however, probably for a number of reasons, that the guiding and healing hand of Guru Ram Das ji has had a uniquely effective and compassionate role in bringing Sikh Dharma to the lives of western, non-Punjabi people (around the world). Only Guruji Himself knows this is true, but it has been our true and direct experience. Guru Ram Das, as you well know, was the 4th Guru, and He was particularly known for healing the sick and the disturbed. He founded the site of the Harimander Sahib as a center where the entire world might be healed. Perhaps it has been because western civilization has been in such powerful darkness and disorientation that Guru Ram Das has had such a direct role in the inspiration of western people toward Sikh Dharma. (And, as some who have generations of Sikh ancestry

behind them have become confused and blinded by the worldly materialism of western societies, they too can be reached and illuminated by these graceful blessings and teachings of Guru Ram Das). He himself had such humble beginnings, as he came to Guru Amar Das ji as an orphan, yet he rose to the

highest heights to occupy the very Throne of meditation and bliss (Raj Jog Tahkht Dheean, Guru Ram Das). His mastery presides over all Yoga (Union) with Wahe Guru. Here in the west we needed such a special blessing to transform at the radiant feet of Guru Ram Das. He blessed us immensely. Thus we have become inspired to offer our heads at the feet of our Spiritual Father, Guru Gobind Singh. Black crows have been transformed into white doves. Sparrows have been transformed into the hawk and the eagle. Humans have begun to master their bestiality in transformation to lions. The Sun of the Khalsa is rising in the West. And all this we owe to the kindness and interventions of Guru Ram

Das, through whom our destinies became transformed.

Many blessings to you, and thank you for asking. May Wahe Guruji bless you forever.

Humbly,

Krishna Singh Khalsa

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • 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
    • 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.
    • 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!!
