MALOUT (MUKTSAR): As if the simmering tensions between Dera Sacha Sauda and Sikhs were not enough to keep Malwa on boil, a fresh row of similar nature rocked Malout on Monday. Late evening, around 8.30 pm, followers of Ashutosh Maharaj's Divya Jyoti Jagriti Sansthan (DJJS) of Noormahal and Sikhs clashed over a religious function and fought pitched-battles at the venue. In an attempt to restore order, police resorted to firing in the air as lights went out after miscreants snapped the power cable. At least 15 persons sustained injuries in the incident. Three are said to be in a serious condition.

While Muktsar deputy commissioner Rajat Aggarwal said the situation was under control, sources claimed it was highly volatile. Battlelines are drawn, they said. "Over 200 Sikhs have taken shelter in a gurdwara while a 100-odd sect followers are camping in the ashram. The duelling parties are armed with sticks and stones," they said.

Tension prevailed in the town since morning, after DJJS followers announced a four-day 'Ram Katha' programme at the Sewa Sadan building. Following their pattern on Dera programmes, Sikhs had opposed the congregation. In view of the stand-off, there was heavy police deployment and DJJS followers decided to change the progamme venue to the sect's ashram.

According to sources, just when the religious programme started, around 200 Sikhs marched to the ashram and crossed the two police barricades set up to break their progress. Soon, all hell broke loose as the groups began pelting stones and cops added to the ruckus with their firing.

As in the case of Dera Sacha Sauda, DJJS can turn out to be another potential trouble-spot. While a large number of Sikh organisations are up in arms against DJJS, its close ties with the Badal family have earned a severe rebuke from radical elements in the community.

      Concept of Sin

      By BhForce · Posted

      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

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      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.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      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!!

      Is suraj parkash right? is it a reliable source of info?

      By BhForce · Posted

      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.
