Waheguru ji!

A very comprehensive program organised. However, one thing that strikes me is that why is the sehaj paath bhog of Sri Dasam Granth being done in the middle of the Sri Akhand Paath Sahib?

I don't have a problem with the Dasam granth Paath, but surely by doing this the focus of Guru Granth Sahib Ji's bani is being diverted.

In puraatan times, there used to be as many gursikhs listening to Akhand paath as there would be to kirtan. Nowadays, it seems like, although a akhand paath is being done, no really sits annd listens to it. It's just something that happens in the background while other activities such as kirtan, dasam granth bhog take place along side. Isn't this beadhbi of gurbani?

If we are doing a akhand path - then lets just do an akhand paath, if we are doing kirtan - lets just do kirtan etc.

We can't take full laha of gurbani if we don't sit and listen.

I am not just tragetting this message at this program, this happens all over, in Gurdwaray, where there are 10 akhand paths happening at the same time and kirtan also happening in the hall.. who is really listening to what??

Come and attend, and you will see/feel/hear/smell/sense the Anand for yourself. The game of pyaar and shardha and satkaar for Guroo Sahib Jee will show any one how all these things at once enhance the spiritual bliss - the spiritual energy can only be experienced, not described. Where the pyaar, shardha and satkaar are not present, you are right that multiple paaths and keertan happening at the same time will not have the desired spiritual effect.

Fateh . . .

1. I know regardless of the low tone of my post I will get flamed, and chances of this thread being highjacked.

2. In the past few days, any discussion on Sikh channel has been taken over by calls from public requesting to clarify whats going on with the Dasam Granth Path. These calls have been cut and the so called presenters are left abzimed with embarassement, who then try to carry on with their own topic looking completly lost.

3. We all read in the dohra: "Guru Granth Ji Manyo Pargat Guran ki Deh" however, now we are stating that look we dont believe in what our Guru ORDERED; but we will go against it and will do the path and satkar of Dasam Grant like it is Guru Granth Sahib. Impact: dilution of the overall impact of Sikh religion and its faith and teachings. Completely knowing that the Dasam Granth has been mixed with peoples own writings.

4. Sikh socities now ensuring that they only do path of Dasam Granth approved Bani. Again portraying that what has been there for the past know time is wrong and they have right to change.

5. Our presenters, our leaders, preaching what they cant practise.

6. Each Gurudwara now trying to have their own Maryada. Akal Takhat sahib having no control and the leaders being puppets in the hands of the more powerful.

Great message on a day when our Leader's own blood gave sacrifices to save this Panth.

What can I say - No vision, No understanding of where these issues are coming from, no understanding of the depth of what our Guru's tried to teach us, and completly bemboozled by the takeover of the western and our own larger cultures from own countries.

Not one person can provide clarification: that why are we now doing path of Dasam Granth equivalent to Sri Guru Granth Sahib.

All I can say is that this is equivalent of the music industry and as Joe McElderry sings it beautifully:

It is SAD, so SAD,

and it is getting more and more observed.

Fateh . . . . . .. .

It is hard enough to listen, understand and implant the understanding of listening to one thing, - there is no way that you can listen to path and kirtan at the same time. Perhaps if you are Brahmgyani level, but be honest, how many of us can say we are, or know or anyone who is at that level.

If I wasn't busy, I would definately come, but when you go and you are sitting there listening/wathcing 2 things happening at once, aks yourself truly whether you are concentrating, understanding and focusing on both, or are you just watching what is happening, and hoping (with sharda) that it all becomes implanted within you.

I'm trying to concentrate, focus and understand on where the mics are on in the Divan. Even if there is only one thing happening, how many of us can honestly say that we have full focus on gurbani paath, keertan or katha? Our only hope is shardhaa and Ardaas to Maharaaj Jee. Gurbani and Naam will only become implanted within you with Guroo Sahib Jee's Kirpaa. If Guroo Sahib Jee is merciful, then it will happen; it will not happen in any other way, regardless of whether there is one paath happening, or as per the programme for Guroo Gobind Singh Jee's Avtaar Purab and Sant Baba Thakur Singh Jee's Barsi.

    • I was searching igurbani.com which gives correct pronunciation of Gurbani. I can’t remember all of it at once. I guess it relies on more practice, like more Sehaj Paths. The meaning becomes clearer. I have noticed slight variants in it. This could be because it’s written in old Punjabi.  
    • Veer Manpreet Singh, a lay preacher, claims that -Sikhs aren't supposed to worship Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We are only supposed to worship God as is written in Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We only "revere" Guru Granth Sahib ji.     He says a lot of other things in this video, some are good refutations of Hindu superstitions, but the reformers often go too far. Anyways, what he is saying about not worshipping Guru Granth Sahib ji is totally wrong. The reason is Guru Granth Sahib ji is Guru. Guru is Satguru. Satguru is God. We worship God. Therefore, we also worship Satguru (Guru Granth Sahib ji).   There are innumerable verses in Gurbani equating God and Guru. ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਡੁਬਦਾ ਲਏ ਤਰਾਇ ॥੨॥ The Guru is the Supreme Lord and the Transcendent Master. The Guru floats (saves) the drowning one. p49   ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਏਕੋ ਜਾਣੁ ॥ Know the Guru and God as One. p864   ਗੁਰ ਨਾਲਿ ਤੁਲਿ ਨ ਲਗਈ ਖੋਜਿ ਡਿਠਾ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੰਡੁ ॥ There is no one at par with the Guru. I have searched and seen the whole universe. p49 (If the Guru is the greatest in the whole universe, shouldn't we worship the Guru?)   I'd like to ask Manpreet Singh what is worship? Any reasonable definition would include obeisance, remembrance, and praise. Those are exactly the same things Gurbani says to do regarding Guru! Remembrance and obeisance: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਅਪਨਾ ਸਦ ਸਦਾ ਸਮ੍ਹਾਰੇ ॥ Ever, ever, I think of the True Guru, ਗੁਰ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਕੇਸ ਸੰਗਿ ਝਾਰੇ ॥੧॥ and the Guru's feet I brush with my head's hair. p387   Praise: ਗੁਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਆਪਿ ॥ The Guru himself is the transcendent Lord and the supreme master. ਆਠ ਪਹਰ ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰ ਜਾਪਿ ॥੪॥੧੬॥੬੭॥ Throughout the eight watches of the day, O Nanak meditate thou on the Guru. p387   In fact, Gurbani says the way to find God is to worship (puja) of Guru: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਧੋਇ ਧੋਇ ਪੂਜਹੁ ਇਨ ਬਿਧਿ ਮੇਰਾ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਲਹੁ ਰੇ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ Washing and bathing the True Guru's feet, worship thou them. In this way thou shall obtain my Lord Master. Pause. p1118   Could it be any clearer that we are to worship Guru ji?
    • Bro, reciting a shorter Chaupai Sahib is hardly "anti-Dasam". It's fine to argue that the longer Chaupai is more traditional, but the short one isn't anti-Dasam. That's like claiming shorter Rehras is anti-Guru Granth Sahib ji just because there are fewer selections from Guru Granth Sahib. It might not be traditional, but it's not anti-Guru Granth Sahib. I prefer the longer versions, but let's not exaggerate. Every tradition has a slightly different Rehras version. Nanaksar vs Taksal vs Nihangs and so on. The basic template for Rehras is at the beginning of Guru Granth Sahib ji. Later, Chaupai Sahib was added and Anand Sahib always follows as the end of a process. Then some sangats added more saloks to start Rehras and others were added at the end. Some additional selections from Dasam Bani were also added, but it wasn't the same ones for every sangat. The important thing is to not hate on each other for these variations.
    • Umm, so you're upset that this jatha did Chaupai the same way it's being done at Harimandar Sahib for 100 years? Shouldn't you be upset at the manager of Darbar Sahib? I'm not saying that Sikhs who are aware of certain issues shouldn't do the longer Chaupai, but there are only so many battles you can fight. Instead of calling some jatha traitors because they're doing the (for better or worse) "standard" Chauapai published by the SGPC, it would be better to change things from the central point. You can't fault the average Sikh for picking up the average Gutka and doing paath.
    • It's the same here in Toronto. Alot of the gudwaras here are political orientated and get tons of funding from the government-probably want them stay hush hush with all the BS that has been happening with India.  These guys are skewing gurbani. A complaint was sent to a ragi singh a couple of days ago in regards to a hukamnama.
