Should This Be Allowed?

Saad Sangath Ji,

There is this Website which on the face of it is a Gurudwara Website but one look at the articles on this Website and you realize something is very wrong.

Please read this article:

http://acsagurdwara.org/defsikh.html

Although Guru Gobind Singh offered the highest honor to Khalsa, he did not expect every Sikh to become khalsa. One of his most favorite poets Bhai Nand Lal and more than half of his other poets, for example, did not become khalsa. Therefore, Dashmesh Pita 10th Guru Nanak should have no objection to the definition of a sikh we are endorsing. This is a good lesson to avoid making it a controversial issue. (Going back to rahitnamas etc doesn't help. As many of us know that rahitnamas written by Chaupa Singh, Bhai Nand Lal, Desa Singh..... are not in agreement with each other.)

Fact of the matter is:

01/ If Guruji did not expect Sikhs to become Khalsas then why did he create the Khalsa

02/ Its been discussed in the old Forum and ample proof has been given that Bhai Nand Lal ji just used this name as his pen name and that he had taken Amrit and beocme a Khalsa

03/ There is a Rehatnama by Guru Panth . All the Rehatnamas were studied and only those Rehats that stood the test of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji were prescribed.

The Author of this article is a proponent of Patitpuna. I have him on record proudly saying that in his area (Durham) there are four Gurudwaras run by Patits. Point to be noted on the Website of the Gurudwara he is the karta dharta of the name of the Granthi Ji is prominently displayed.

We must try to stop this kind of wrong propaganda. I've written to SGPC and Jathedar Sahibs and would request Sangath in US to try to take p this matter locally.
