Recommended Posts

Could someone from the sangat help me with a question I've been wondering about for some time.. Was Sant Harchand Singh Longowal a traitor or martyr?? I know he was Dictator of the Dharam Yudh Morcha and President of Akali Dal at that time..But why did some Singhs kill him??Did Sant Longowal also surrender during Operation Bluestar?? Some Singhs I know regard him as a traitor for betraying Sant Jarnail Singh Khalsa Bhindranwale..is this true??

Any info and comments will be highly appreciated!!

Bhul Chuk Maaf!!

He was the biggest traitor of the panth on the one hand he was leading the morcha on the other hand he was also planning the killing of BHINDERAWALE SANT JI, he knew about the army action before hand and used to call sant ji as chambal da sant. He is not alone others fake sants also sided with invaders.That is why he was taken out safely along with tohra.

A lot of our so called spiritual-political leaders were more concerned with their political power and popularity. I believe that Longowal got anxious because he realised that Sant Ji didn't need the support of the Akali Dal to be an influence with the population. It was a power struggle to him.

Longowal at first shared ambitions wiv Bhindranwale but a rift between them was created, and unltimately Longowal refused Bhindranwale to speak from Manji Sahib. The rift was over Gurcharan Singh, the secretary off the akali dal who helped murder sodhi. this was about 3 months b4 bluestar. Bhindranwale putting the panth first never criticised Longowal openly. However Longowal did send feelers to the govt that the Sikhs in Darbar Sahib would never offer resistance if the army invaded.

Personally i dont think that Longowal should have been killed. He was killed becos people thought his accord wiv rajiv in 1985 sold out the movement. again people will have differing views over whether he really did.

also i feel the panth would have been better off if badal and tohra were killed rather than longowal, cos if he was guilty of treason in 84 , so were they.

where this story of him shaving came about from i dont know, and have never heard it. Longowal was a bachelor, and nothing to his name.

Sikh youth uk . . i think you need to do some research first. . . how about listen to sant jees own speeches. the one where sant jee mentions when sodhi was shaheed, and another when sant jee mentions when some singhs came and tried to shoot at him and/or the jatha. Sant jee and longowal were close, however sant jee left him and stopped having any affliation with him before the attack happens. sant jee mentions alot in his speeches.

    • 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!!
