California Akj Samagam Trouble

[SoCal]

you bay area akj suk. why Bhai Amolak Singh Ji was not allowed to do keertan and sum troublemakers banned him from nor cal programs. why?why?why?

[Sukhdeep Singhh]

Bay Area sangat has a strict policy about allowing kirtan seva. If someone has done something wrong then they cannot do this seva untill they do pesh.

This is not something new . During Bhai Randhir Singhs time the standards were even more sticter then today in regards to AKJ programs.

whats he done wrong, he is a great kirtanee

cali smagams used to be soo good, way too much politics there now, didn't bhai amolak singh just do keertan in India and australia smagams ???

[Sukhdeep Singhh]

I do not know what Bhai Amolak SIngh did, nor is it my business. This is strict policy that no particular person is above. Maybe in Australia and India the standards are not as strict. I have heard that Tapoban follow similar strict standards when allowing Kirtan seva.

Cali Smagams are still awesome. This year Bhai Gurdev SIngh did keertan for 3 hours which included Sri Dasam Granth Banis like Akal Ustat. Bhai Gurpreet SIngh did Naam Abhyiaas for at least one hour, Bhai Prabhjot Singh finished the Smagam in which he also recited Banis from Sri Dasam Granth. Personally I dont know of any Smagams besides Bay Area smagams in which bani ( Sri Dasam Granth Bani) that has been neglected for many years is being reintroduced to sangat . We have remained blind to the beautiful banis of Sri Dasam Granth for many years its nice to see that these banis are being sung in Smagam nowadays. Im not saying California Smagams are the best , I believe all smagams in which Naam Simran and Gurbani are being recited are great. I just believe we shouldnt be focus on the Kirtani instead we should be focusing on the Kirtan.

bhai amolak singh doing keertan sevaa at toronto broadcast llive on akj.org, so it isn't a worldwide ban just an a california thing !!!

[HardeepSingh]

California is quick to ban anyone and everyone that they want. With an overlap of people between the (anti) Panthic Network, these same people have banned so far:

Bhai Harpreet Singh (Toronto)

Bhai Manmohan Singh (California)

Bhai Amolak Singh (Australia)

Bhai Ranjit Singh (Jammu)

According to what i've been told by a source involved with the Khalsa Alliance Jatha (KAJ) in California, Bhai Amolak Singh was banned from doing kirtan for giving a Siropa to Jathedar Bakshish Singh, while they support Bhai Mohinder Singh. So instead of basing their decision on Gurmat, the KAJ has based their decision completely on politics. These same people would ban Bhai Sahib Jeevan Singh Jee, because Bhai Sahib also gave a siropa to Jathedar Bakshish Singh.
