Sikh Spirit In Naina Devi Stampede


Recommended Posts

The bad thing is that many of the victims themselves were Sikhs!!!!!! See the list and you will see there are so many Singhs and Kaurs!!!!!!!

Comeon, why did they go there? Waheguru punished them!

But not only here, in each mandir of Punjab, Haryana or Himachal you will see Sikhs there... Why???

The sikhs who are involved in helping the victims need really high praise. They are making a good name for the sikhs. At the same time, this problem of "sikhs" visiting hindu mandirs, muslim peers, etc needs to be addressed.

Regarding akal purakh punishing these "sikhs" for visiting naina devi, thats wrong.

Some time back, yatree traveling to Sri Hemkunt Sahib also died due to some accident.

Its all happening in the will of Akal Purakh, so we shud accept bhannaa and help anyone in need or suffering.

the point of this post was to highlight sikhs' helping fellow human beings in need.

sikhs worshipping idols and devis, etc is a whole different topic.

peace.

lets implent the issue of sikhs visiting/believing in devtae in this thread,,

And achieve what? Change the world from behind our PCs posting comments on SikhSangat.com. When we have role models like the mahan Gursikhs who are doing the sewa outlined in the first posting most of us still want to focus on the negative state of peoples belief system. Again it's all about the half empty glass v the half full glass.

If we only focus on the negative side will only see negativity. If we can see that there's a postivity in every situation then we will be closer to understanding what "Chardi Kala" is. It's ironic that the Sikhs get the publicity for carrying out the sewa of the dead, not the Hindus or any Chritian aid workers. Surley we should learn from that and have some pride for our GurSikhs carrying out GuruJi's sewa.

'and achieve what?'.... Think about how many new users log into this forum...why not educate them?

so you are glad they were punished..i saw many children dead bodies in the news during this stampede.. and you are glad they were punished...vahiguroo doesnt belong to sikhs only... oh well sikhs went to naina devi,, they got what they deserve and chapter closed.. you may be sikh of taliban organization but definitely not sikh of sri guru gobind singh ji ... scumbags like you should be jailed and put away for good.

Where did I say that I'm glad they were punished? Since when have you become an antarjami?

The truth is that each one should practice their one religion properly. Either be Hindu, either Sikh. And also Sikhi says that idol worshipping is bad?

And mr. Namstung, WHO ARE YOU TO DECIDE WHOSE A SIKH AND WHO NOT?

I think you might niavly think that this internet forum will change the world and there's mass exposure by posting on sikhsangat.com. The old saying is that "actions speak louder than words" and that's why to me the GurSikhs carrying out the sewa of the dead is of a greater importance. If you wish to focus soley on the devi worshiping than like suggested start another thread or join in on one of the numerous older threads which have already discussed this.

There’s nothing more inspirational than good actions, genuine sewa and integrity. Most people are inspired by those positive attributes and are more likely to implement change in their jeevans when seeing the actions of role models.

glass half full or empty? i appreciate the point of sikhs helping out in this moment of need but 1 needs to establish why some sikhs were there in the first place. In this thread we have already acknowledged sikhs have helped out and god bless them.

Why does Manikaran gurdwara have calendar pics of mata etc?

Maybe it’s because we classify people as Sikh too easily based on their name having Singh/Kaur or the fact that they keep a turban & beard. Maybe we should also look at the individual’s reni/beni before we look at them as being Sikh. It’s a tough one!!

    • Umm, that's totally irrational, bro. There are plenty of prakash-dara Singhs in Punjab (less than we'd like, but still plenty). No one cares that you are sabat soorat. It isn't 1986. You can walk around in chola, kurta-pajama, or jeans. Whatever. If you want the look @dallysingh101 is referring to, just go into a cheap clothing shop (not a Western-style mall) and buy some shirts for 250 rupees or a track suit for 2000 rupees. You'll get the cheap stuff made in some sweatshop in Bombay.
    • 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!!
