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).

    • 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!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
