Is Swami Paramanand Jee amritdhari?

[Raaj.Karega.Khalsa]

HardeepSinghJee,

every amritdhari has the name singh or kaur after their name.

[kam1825]

No they are not amritdhari or Khalsa, they are a Vedanti Shastri who love Gurbani and sate it has no end to the essence of hte Lord

[Inder Singh]

Is he not a promoter of vedanta? Does vedanta and sikhism message same? Please calrify.

[kam1825]

The message of Vedant is that atma is parmatma and Gurbani states man tu jot saropp hai. paths of gyan khand are the same. through knowledge and bhakti can a person realise the lord. If you do not understand vedant then i suggest listening to sant gurbachan singh ji's katha.

By the way vedant and the teaching of the veds are different

Are upanshids form vedanta?

But vedanta also recommends a personal guru such as rama, krishna etc. Sikhism does not condone that.> Vedanta is basically santan hindu dharma. they are believer in caste system also.

[kam1825]

Vedant is as in the Upanishads

The Upashna khand of the Vedas suggest the adoption of a Guru along with the Vedant. It does not stipulate who to adopt as a Guru or what form, for an example look into the life of datatreya. In Gurmat we adopt Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji as the Guru and also the Khalsa panth. This is in line with Vedant which also states that sat sangat is necessary.

The essential motion of vedant and gurmat is to use the life wisely in order to realise the truth, the Lord. As stated in the Rehraas, "Bhae Prapat Manukh Dehuria Gobind Milan Ki Ehi Teri bharia"

There are some differences from gurmat to vedant but the majority of it is similar. differences such as dasya bhav. but the similarities to tatvan and tatpad exist. The one major difference is that Gurmat also has a focus on Bhakti while vedant just deals with discriminatory knowledge

[Singh, Mahan]

Is this swami trying to tell that Guru Nanak Dev borrowed from Vadantic philosophy by selectively highlighting similarities?

Why is that the "Sikh babas", and "so called Sikh leaders" often invite non Sikhs to explain to us what Sikhism is?

Is it because these Sikh babas and Sikh leaders ( who take such a pride in inviting non Sikh) have limited their understanding of Sikhism to just "matha taik" to Sri Guru Granth Sahib and to eating "Krah Parshad" after that?

Why cant they (our Sikh babas and so called the Sikh leaders) study Sri Guru Granth Sahib themselve first and try to explain to their Sangat themselves?

Sikhs should have learned the lesson from the History of inviting Dyannand (of Arya Samaj) from Gujrat to Punjab to explain to gullible Sikhs what Sikhism is.

More recently, an example is of "Ashutosh" trying to explain to Sikhs the meanings of Gurbani.

Haven't we had enough of them already?

[Singh, Mahan]

No they are not amritdhari or Khalsa, they are a Vedanti Shastri who love Gurbani and sate it has no end to the essence of hte Lord

It is great that he loves Gurbani.

Does he love Gurbani because there were somethings that he did not understand in Vadantic philosphy that the Gurbani has been able to explain it to him ?

Or,

is he saying that he loves Gurbani because he is able to twist the meaning of Gurbani and interpret it as the concept that of Vadantic philosophy without Sikhs being able to see through it?

I suppose he will never let that secret out.

I often become amazed by the gullibility of Sikhs when it comes to some non-Sikh "scholar" telling them what Gurbani says and then pitch to the so impressed Sikhs of a new version of what Sikhism "should be".
