Whats Happened In Amritsar?


Recommended Posts

A youth forcibly occupied the “holy peehra” (small cot), meant for the installation of Guru Granth Sahib, in the sanctum sanctorum of the Golden Temple in the wee hours today.

The incident occurred at 3 am. The youth, identified as Rajeev Kumar (21), a kesadhari, was seriously injured following thrashing by SGPC’s task force, radical Sikhs and sangat following the incident. Kirtan was in progress at that time before the installation of Guru Granth Sahib, which is taken from Akal Takht to the Golden Temple at 5 am every morning.

Though the SGPC has ordered an inquiry to be conducted by its secretary Dilmegh Singh to know whether there was a conspiracy behind the incident, the police has registered a criminal case against him. Deputy Commissioner Bhagwant Singh and SSP Kunwar Vijay Partap Singh reached the Golden Temple immediately on getting the news.

This is for the first time that such an incident has occurred, amounting to the violation of age-old maryada (Sikh code of conduct). According to eyewitnesses, the youth jumped the brass railing and occupied the “peehra”. He was, however, overpowered by the sangat and taken to room number 52 in the SGPC complex.

Manager of the Golden Temple Harbhajan Singh said the youth said he was “ordained by Guru Nanak Dev” to occupy the “peehra”.

Meanwhile, the SSP office said the youth had been arrested in connection with the violation of maryada. Rajeev is son of Rattan Chand (an employee of the BSNL) and resident of Goalbagh, Amritsar. He was given first aid and later on shifted to a local hospital.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
