Excommunication Of Prof. Gurmukh Singh In 1887

[dalsingh101]

On a side note that does not has link with topic it is better to state that These days there are many fake singh sabhas cropping up in Canada and USA.

These are anti sikh organizations floated by communists and anti sikh agents whose main aim is to do propaganda against sikhism.

Do not be misled by their names.

Do you think these types of fake Singh Sabhas also exist in the UK?

In my opinion these elements( for example so called Tiger Group led by apostates and missionaries) are present in UK but there

may not be a formal organization there.

I think people in general are a bit more skeptical of organisations here than in the US and Canada (skeptical in a positive way), so such groups and even individuals (like Darshan) usually have very little success over here despite their efforts.

In USA and Canada they have nuisance value only. Darshan Ragi could not hold Darbar in his home town Toronto.

His disciples were humbled when they came to hit sangat in front of their center.

Prof. Gurmukh Singh's excommunication was never accepted by the Panth. It was a political ploy by the Baba Khem Singh Bedi (pro-Sanatani Singh Sabha Amritsar) group to silence and limit the parchar by his associates who were known as "Singh Sabha Lahore."

Being a direct decedent of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Khem Singh Bedi used to sit on a pedestal and his followers would bow to him like a guru.

Even at Sri Darbar Sahib he would sit on a special cushion parallel to Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Prof. Gurmukh Singh, Giani Ditt Singh and the rest of the Singh Sabha Lahore did not accept this, and challenged the pro-Sanatani Singh Sabha Amritsar on this practice.

Khem Singh Bedi persuaded the masands and sarabrahs (caretakers hired by the British) to excommunicate Prof. Gurmukh Singh. The Panth never accepted the validity of the ex-communication.

Gurmukhs such as Bhai Gurditt Singh, Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha, Bhai Vir Singh Ji, and the countless others continued to associate with Prof. Gurmukh Singh Ji, and never accept the validity of his ex-communication.

Edicts from Sri Akal Takht Sahib must always be in accordance to Gurmat, and must be ratified or supported by the Panth, they can not be unanimously issued under political pressure or for personal grudge.

Similar edicts have been issued against the freedom fighters aboard the KamaGata Maru, Babbar Akalis, and many others, but were never accepted by the Panth.

Fact a non sikh cannot excommunicate a gursikh only the panj piare at Akal Takht can , that's why no sane sikh talks  of this as a real thing - because all these british sponsored excommunications are not  valid
