Editor of Sikh magazine Sant Sipahi visits Bay Area California

Fremont, Jan 20: Sardar Gurcharanjit Singh Lamba , editor of panthik journal Sant Sipahi from Amritsar, who is on a personal visit to California today attended the weekly diwan at Fremont Gurudwara Sahib and made a speech.

Sardar Lamba’s passionate and thought-provoking speech was received by the sangat with apt attention. Although Sardar Lamba spoke for more than 45 minutes but the sangat remained spell bound with the continuous scenes, quotes and references from Guru Granth Sahib, Sri Dasam Granth, Bhai Gurdas First and Second, Bhai Nand Lal, Rahitnames etc.

The theme of his lecture was that Guru Nanak Dev ji was the jyot of Akalpurakh and from Guru Nanak Dev ji to Guru Gobind Singh ji is nothing but the continuity of the same jyot. He explained further that it is really hard to look for Guru Nanak Dev ji in Guru Gobind Singh ji. He quoted extensively from Sikh scriptures that Guru Gobind Singh ji has Himself written that only the faithful can understand this phenomena but not the stupid.

“sri nanak angad kar mana,

amar das angad pechana,

amardas ramdas kahiyo,

sadhan lakha moorh nahi payo.”

He went on to elaborate that the panth was started by Guru Nanak Dev ji and completed by Guru Gobind Singh. The message and concept is same.

Sardar Lamba also quoted extensively from Sikh Sakhis and history of puratan Singhs. His narration of the episodes of Bhai Nand Lal and Prof. Puran Singh moved the Sangat.

He concluded his speech by a note that unless we have unflinching shradha, faith we will be wondering uselessly. What we have to do is to fall at the feet of Guru and pray for tearing of bedawa given by us.

At the end Sardar Lamba was blessed with Siropa from Gurdwara Sahib.

Sangat had all the praise and appreciation for the Committee for introducing and allowing time for the motivating speech of Sardar Gurcharanjit Singh Lamba, which was organized on a short notice by Sikh Sangat News ( www.sikhsangat.org).

    • 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?
    • All of these are suppositions, bro. Linguists know that, generally, all the social classes of a physical area speak the same language, though some classes may use more advanced vocabulary. I'm talking about the syntax. That is, unless the King is an invader, which Porus was not. When you say Punjabi wasn't very evolved, what do you mean? The syntax must have been roughly the same. As for vocabulary, do you really think Punjabis at the time did nothing more than grunt to express their thoughts? That they had no shades of meaning? Such as hot/cold, red/yellow/blue, angry/sweet/loving/sad, etc? Why must we always have an inferiority complex?
    • I still think about that incident now and then, just haven't heard any developments regarding what happened, just like so many other things that have happened in Panjab!
    • There was a young Singh from abroad who went to Anandpur Sahib Hola and got into a fight with some Punjabis who were playing loud non-religious music. He had bana and a weapon or two. There were more of them than him.  He ended up losing his life. Don't be like that. Not worth it to fight manmukhs. @californiasardar1 ਮੂਰਖੈ ਨਾਲਿ ਨ ਲੁਝੀਐ ॥੧੯॥ Argue not with a fool. p473
