Jathedars Give Darshan Sinh More Time

[Azaad]

Accusing former Akal Takht Jathedar Darshan Singh, who is in the midst of a storm over his alleged blasphemous remarks against Guru Gobind Singh during a controversial Rochester (USA) gurdwara discourse, of trying to “mislead” the Sikhs, the five Sikh high priests today directed him to appear at Akal Takht up to January 29.

Earlier, the Sikh clergy had directed Prof Darshan Singh to appear at Akal Takht on November 17 and later on December 5. Prof Darshan Singh had appeared at Akal Takht but his appearance was not accepted and he was declared a tankhaiya by the high priests on the grounds that he should have come out with his explanation before them at the Akal Takht secretariat.

This was, however, opposed by Prof Darshan Singh who had presented a letter of explanation at Akal Takht. He had been asserting that he was duty bound to bow to the Guru but not to any person and that as the Jathedar of Akal Takht he had never decided anything on the basis of ”closed-door” meetings.

The Sikh Panth, it seems, has got divided over the Darshan Singh issue which has also initiated a war of words between the SGPC and India and foreign-based supporters of Prof Darshan Singh.

Both sides are coming out with advertisements in newspapers sticking to their stance and blaming each other. SGPC chief Avtar Singh has accused Prof Darshan Singh of indulging in blasphemy and asked him why he did not stop the “parkash” of the “Dasm Granth” in gurdwaras during his tenure as the Takht Jathedar if he had any objection to it.

On the other hand, supporters of Prof Darshan Singh are alleging that the latter was being targeted at the instance of the ruling Akali leadership and have asked why the Sikh clergy had failed to implement the Akal Takht hukamnama that no Granth could be placed parallel to Guru Granth Sahib. Charanjit Singh Channi and Sukhwinder Singh, representatives of Prof Darshan Singh, turned up at Akal Takht with two letters---one written to the Jathedar, Akal Takht, by Charanjit Singh and the other addressed to “Sache Patshah” by Prof Darshan Singh.

While Charanjit Singh’s letter supporting Prof Darshan Singh clarified that the latter’s controversial discourse was based on certain books authored by well-known Sikh scholars, Prof Darshan Singh alleged that certain “people had formed a parallel Akal Takht” and were “misusing” its name.

In their edict, pronounced after a three-hour -long meeting, the five high priests led by Akal Takht Jathedar Gurbachan Singh said though Prof Darshan Singh was trying to challenge the authority of Akal Takht at the instance of some “anti-Panthic” forces, Akal Takht was giving yet another opportunity to him to appear at the Takht up to January 29 and seek pardon for his controversial speech.

“If Prof Darshan Singh fails to do so, action will be taken as per the Sikh tenets,” said the edict.

Followers and friends of Ragi darshan are not to be believed.They are professional liars.They gave an ad in ajit saying that so many Gurudwaras from US and Canada are supporting Darshan Ragi. Many of these organizations are one man show that exist on paper only.

Few gurudwaras that were in the ad were contacted and they stated that they were wth akal takhat.

The above says

Toronto Jan 6: Harbans Singh Jundali, Chairman of One of the famous organizations of canada ,Ontario sikh and Gurudwara council said in a special chat with ajit that their organization always stand with Akal takhat and will never think to go against akal takhat.In the present situation whatever akal takhat decides for ragi darshan singh's blasphemy will be acceptable to them.At no time they will even think to side with anti panthic gang of ragi.

Inder, the irony is that your consistent opposition with raging repeated name calling suggests that what you call the "panthic gang" and “professional liars” is an enormous force, not a one man show. Chill out with the lingo bro. The underlying issue has had differing views for decades, it is not new.

Debate is healthy, your views are healthy. It just so happens there are bona fida Sikh brothers and sisters on both sides of the debate who believe that the real agenda of others is to fan the flames to split the panth. Sensitivity to the real needs of the panth demands a poised approach. With any divisive issue in the panth, the job of agent provocateurs is to fan the flames on both sides under the guise of taking a strong stance. There is a place for war…. and it is not inside your home.

Your knowledge is far too immense and valuable to be interspersed with repeated name-calling. To take a stand, Sikhs don’t insult, we don’t even preach…we educate, and you are obviously so capable of that. You are full of passion, don’t let others mistake it for suspicious overbearing rage.

Letter sent by darshan ragi to akal takth sahib ... Make sure from now no one will appear to akal takth sahib and will be sending letters to parkash of guru granth sahib at akal takth sahib ... hence a new mareyada is born ...

Midget darshana can cry all he want... He lost respect from all of us..

In My Opinion,

Heretic and Midget Darshan Ragi, the Leader and Inspiration for Professional Liars, Should Also Be 'Charged' with Not Only Twisting and Lying, but Also Attacking NitNem Banis and A Lot More. Darshan Ragi Has Just Been Given More Time to Eat Rats Now.

Budda, There is a Difference Between Debate and Attacking!!! You Seem To Be Intelligent and Articulate from Your Post; But Your Lack of Simple Observation Seems To Suggest Otherwise. What are Your Views on Sri Dasam Granth Sahib Ji Budda?

And I Personally Don't Consider Them 'Sikh Brothers and Sisters in The Home'. They are The New Enemy From Within. The New Breed of Aurangzebs.

And Yes, We Can Destroy Them with Truth!! But Its More Fun For Me the Other Way!! Those Idiots are Not Competent Enough to Understand the Depths of Dasam Patshah Bani!! They have troubles Finding Waldo.

Darshan Ragi!! Bollywood Actor First Class!!! He Should Get an Emmy From Hollywood Too!! Darshan Ragi Doesn't Realize That All His Blessings are From Khande-Pahul and Panj Baneea!! He is a Maha AkritGhan!! Took the Nutrients of The Guru!! Then Discarded Them!! Without Khande-Pahul and Panj Baneeas He Would Have Lived in Dung His Whole Life!!! Well Theres Always Next Life For Him I Guess!! LOL!!!

Chardi Kala!!

The jathedars have missed a trick here. Doctors will say that to cure an illness it is best to cut out the tumor causing the problems. The panth could have cut off this tumor yesterday!

Completely agree with the above..

I think Jathedaars made a great decision. Darshan wants the chance to shout and spread propoganda that Jathedaars are one-sided and are rushing to excommunicate him. By pre-empting this, Jathedaars have showed the worldwide Sangat they are willing to listen and give him another chance to come to Akal Takhat with Nimartaa. I doubt he will take this chance, and sending hate-filled letters to Akal Takhat is showing the worldwide Sangat (many who do not have the opportunity of having uptodate info via Sikhsangat) Darshan's true colours.

Name calling? There is no name calling in my post Since when stating truth is called name calling?

darshan singh has been name calling Dasam Granth in a filthy language for the last three years. He has been warned by Akal takhat four times by issuance of Hukamnamas. He does not obey those.

He is misguding sikhs by disowning nitnem banis, amrit sanchar banis and ardas.He did name call Guru gobind singh ji at a Gurudwara at rouchester, New York for which he has been called to Akal takhat.

His supporters are resorting to lies and deceit to hide the real issues.That is not a sikh trait.Their such acts need to be exposed.Do not expect me to keep quiet on their propaganda tactics. I am a sikh of Guru Gobind singh and will continue to unmask Gurnindaks and their collaborators. Nobody need such blasphemic persons in panth and that is why akal takhat has called him.Masands need to be weeded out. Darshan ragi is a masand. No appeasement of masands.
