Sarna slams Makkar for ‘slave mindset’ Bathinda, April 24

Parmajit Singh Sarna, president of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Managing Committee, today asked SGPC chief Avtar Singh Makkar to come out of the “slave mindset” and not act as a puppet of Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and his son Sukhbir Singh Badal. He criticised Makkar for his remarks that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was not a Sikh. He regretted Makkar having recently questioned the credentials of Manmohan Singh and his contribution to Punjab.

Sarna asked Makkar to have a moral courage and acknowledge the public sentiment that every Sikh felt proud of Manmohan Singh as the Prime Minister of the country with a billion-plus population.

Sarna, who was campaigning for the Congress candidate Raninder Singh, took exception to Makkar saying that the BJP leader L.K. Advani would always be a better PM than Manmohan Singh.

Sarna asked Makkar to read Advani’s autobiography wherein he had proudly claimed that he and his party had put pressure on the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi to go for Operation Bluestar.

He asked Makkar, “Can a person, who proudly claims to have a role in the destruction of the Akal Takht, be a better PM than a humble Sikh”.

Referring to Makkar’s remarks that the PM had done nothing for Punjab, Sarna said Manmohan Singh had announced a special package for the 1984-riot victims, issued special grants for Punjab, announced construction of the Guru Gobind Singh Marg from Talwandi Sabo to Nanded besides many other development projects.

He said it was after a long time that the Sikhs had occupied the premier position after Maharaja Ranjit Singh, who had established a Sikh kingdom. “It is after over 160 years that the Sikhs could get an identity in the world with Manmohan Singh becoming the Prime Minister.”

He regretted that Makkar despite occupying the august post of the president of the SGPC was not able to come out of the “slave mindset”. Sarna said he was only doing the bidding of Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and his son Sukbir Badal.

    • Definitely the Guru Sahibs would be a heavier Scriptures to handle. Dasam Granth is more towards Bir Rass, Guru Gobind Singh showed his Greatness (of course, they would never say this) by separating his own Baania.  And the BIGGEST test of all?? Do we try and read Dasam Granth, Understand n show respect like we do to SGGS? Or... Do we QUESTION it? Guru Gobind Singh Ji is testing us. 
    • My wife will be going for an MRI scan next week but her Kara won’t physically come off.  Is there any way the mri scan can be done with the Kara still on?  The alternative is we will have to try to saw it off before the scan.  
    • was researching this and came back to this thread. Also found an older thread:    
    • Net pay after taxes. If you don't agree, think about this: If you were a trader and started off in China with silk that cost 100 rupees and came to India, and you had to pay total 800 rupees taxes at every small kingdom along the way, and then sold your goods for 1000 rupees, you'd have 100 rupees left, right? If your daswandh is on the gross, that's 100 rupees, meaning you have nothing left. Obviously, you owe only 10% of 100, not 10% of 1000. No, it's 10% before bills and other expenses. These expenses are not your expenses to earn money. They are consumption. If you are a business owner, you take out all expenses, including rent, shop electricity, cost of goods sold, advertising, and government taxes. Whatever is left is your profit and you owe 10% of that.  If you are an employee, you are also entitled to deduct the cost of earning money. That would be government taxes. Everything else is consumption.    
    • No, bro, it's simply not true that no one talks about Simran. Where did you hear that? Swingdon? The entire Sikh world talks about doing Simran, whether it's Maskeen ji, Giani Pinderpal Singh, Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi, or Sants. So what are you talking about? Agreed. Agreed. Well, if every bani were exactly the same, then why would Guru ji even write anything after writing Japji Sahib? We should all enjoy all the banis. No, Gurbani tells you to do Simran, but it's not just "the manual". Gurbani itself also has cleansing powers. I'm not saying not to do Simran. Do it. But Gurbani is not merely "the manual". Reading and singing Gurbani is spiritually helpful: ਪ੍ਰਭ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਭਾਖਿਆ ॥  ਗਾਵਹੁ ਸੁਣਹੁ ਪੜਹੁ ਨਿਤ ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੈ ਤੂ ਰਾਖਿਆ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The Lord's Bani and the words are the best utterances. Ever sing hear and recite them, O brother and the Perfect Guru shall save thee. Pause. p611 Here Guru ji shows the importance of both Bani and Naam: ਆਇਓ ਸੁਨਨ ਪੜਨ ਕਉ ਬਾਣੀ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿ ਲਗਹਿ ਅਨ ਲਾਲਚਿ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਪਰਾਣੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The mortal has come to hear and utter Bani. Forgetting the Name thou attached thyself to other desires. Vain is thy life, O mortal. Pause. p1219 Are there any house manuals that say to read and sing the house manual?
