Ask Your Sikhi Related Questions To Sant Baba Hari Singh Ji Randhave Wale

[Koi]

Can you ask Baba Jee the history of Sarbloh Bibek? Where it started by who etc? And if Sant Gurbachan Singh kept it at all? Should it be kept these days?

Just to elaborate, please can Baba Ji explain the Maryada of eating from the hands of a Nigura/Non-Amritdhari (eating out in restaurants, normal packaged food from the supermarket etc.)? Is this allowed? Please can Sant Ji give examples from Gurbani / Gur Ittihas (Sooraj Parkaash etc) / Sant Jeewani? Should we only eat food prepared by Amritdharis? What about raw ingredients (raw vegetables etc), should these be treated the same way?

Please can Baba Ji also explain what foods we should avoid (tea, spices)?

Many thanks.

Though these may be a slightly controversial questions, please can Sant Ji shed some light on the split of Taksal after Sant Giani Gurbachan Singh Ji?

Please can Sant Ji also elaborate on his view about Sant Baba Thakur Singh Ji's bachan and the "shaheedi" / return of Sant Giani Jarnail Singh Ji?

Apologies if these questions are inappropriate.

No doubt Taksal mahapurakhs kept dietary Bibek including Sant Kartar Singh ji and Sant Gurbachan Singh ji. Dietary bibek is practiced within Akhand Kirtani Jatha, Nihangs and Damdami Taksal. The only difference is in the level of bibek, the strictness varies ie eating only from armitdharis, eating only from sarbloh utensils and those who keep sarbloh rehit or not eating from outside i.e. resturaunts.

What has happened is that slowly Gursikhs have gotten weaker in regards to Rehit, over time the level of Rehit has declined - in all Jatha's. In the times of Sant Gurbachan Singh ji and bhai Randhir Singh ji both Jatha's were much stricter in in Rehit ie dietary bibek, lareevar gurbani etc.

Many Gursikhs around the world still maintain dietary rehit including Sarbloh, dhan are those Gursikhs.

It usually singh sabha type mindset/mindset aligned with bhausaria mentality have allergy to word " advait vedant' just because it has hindu connations because of advait vedant spiritual order by adi shankarcharya and bharma devta receiving mahavaks of vedant at the end of vedas.

This is not the case. Gursikhs have described the uniqueness of Gurmat compared to other mats ie Vedant through Gurbani. It is incorrect to say that Singh Sabha have "allergy" to Hinduism. Was it not Giani Ditt Singh ji who challenged and beat Arya Samaj leader in a debate? Also bhai Vir Singh ji has written a book on the uniqueness of Guru Nanak Dev ji compared to other avtars and prophets. Both of these great Gursikhs were from Singh Sabha and widely respected by the panth. They proved the uniqueness of Gurmat through Gurbani, they did not have an allergy or bias towards Hinduism.

It is true that some have hindu-phobia which is wrong. However just because one is of the opinion that Gurmat is unique and superior to other mats does not mean that they have "allergy" or bias towards Hinduism.

I respect bhai Hari Singh ji Ranhdawa and have listened to his katha when he has visited England, they possess a lot of gyaan.

I am confused in respect to Sant Samaj's alliance with Parkash Singh Badal, I would like to get bhai Hari Singh ji's opinion of Badal and if he is aware of the anti-panthic activities of Badal ie appointing Sumedh Saini to DGP and visiting jootha Sauda leader.

I think it would be a good idea to show picture of Badal visiting jootha sauda which is easily available on google images. Remember, Badal controls media in Punjab. Maybe Sant Samaj are unaware of his various anti-panthic activities.

Please can Baba Ji suggest any methods for improving concentration while doing paath / simran (especially in the mornings)?

My veer, off course wherever whenever rss goons or arya samaji fanatics have tried to challenge gurmat, our sikh gurmukhs have debated and refuted them.

Giani ditt singh ji who challenged and beat arya samaji.

Bhai Kavi Singh Santokh Nirmale wrote garabgajini tika of japji sahib to break ahankar of pseudo udasi mahant

sant baba isher singh ji kaljug wale wrote 500 different arths of vahiguroo mantar to refute arya samaji/rss propaganda.

And there are many more..i cannot remember.

They all have debated and stood up steady fast against things in hinduism which are contary to "Gurmat". But confusion, insecurity over paranoia hysterical attitude arises, when one starts thinking or automatically assuming everything including adhyatam and spiritual school of thoughts of hinduism is somehow - anti gurmat or contary to gurmat just because its belongs to different dharam.

However samparda's mahapursh don't automatically assume, they study through out years of study and research of various vedas and puratan texts of eastern dharma with their bibek buddhi- they pick up things which are consistent with gurmat and accept them as gurmat as well and leave other stuff which is contary to Gurmat.

There are two main benefits of that despite of all the political correctness:

1. Our sikh sants/scholars can fight these rss goons, from time to time again- nirmale sikh sadhus have gone to kumb mela and set up akhara there to promote gurmat there and make them available for any bachan bilas or debate...that is very proactive approach to fight rss instead of being arm chair critic sitting on forums and whine and cry about rss.

2. Our Sikh sants/scholars just like our Guru's have show unbiased appreciation/satkar and celebrated the truth/satya regardless whichever dharam it belongs to, i tried to give example before- advait vedant is science of atma-paratma....advait sceince of atma-paratma not only mentioned in advait vedant by adi sri sankyacharaya but its all across sri guru granth sahib ji/sri dasam granth as rightly mentioned by sant hari singh randhawa wale in the video and advait-sceince of atma-paratma also exist other eastern dharma scriptures like- bhagvad gita etc.

Did adi sankyacharaya invented it? NO. The fact its always been there from aad sach since existence of atma-paratma.

Did he discovered it through bhramgyan? YES..accept it or not...truth is truth..regardless however painful it might be.

Since he discovered it and wrote about it for others to understand, does it give him a right to put supermacy stamp on it? NO

Do we have right to put supermacy stamp on it by playing with semantics of gurmat and making it appears it only belong organized sikh dharam? NO...it's nirgun vahiguroo ji property.

Has it been discovered before prior to adi sankacharaya sikh non sikh alike?? Yes off course, as i said its from aad sach, just like how reincarnation, karam, five elements of body is from sargun pasara.

Why should sikh reject an universal concept? Gurbani didn't reject just like how gurbani didn't rejected reincarnation and karma, then why should we?? We should not, just because same universal concept happen to be shared among spiritual orders in hinduism does not make it automatically bad or anti gurmat.

If we do reject it that only shows- insecurity, over parniao, hyper tension, hindu phobiac mindset which is undoubtly an gift from singh sabha and bhausaria mindset (thanks guys for suppressing gurmat ) :ohno:

Ok now in layman terms-

Lets just assume one of us is in university -studying planets/stars...One of our fellow student which we may or may not have bias or reservations discover an very unique star/planet through his hard work and wrote about it...not invented but just discovered, its always been there....just discover something.

Does this give him a right to say he invented it or put copyright stamp on the invention? NO...it's always been there.

Did someone discovered it before? Off course, may or may not be documented before, but that does not negates the fact that it was not discovered.

Does it give us a right just because of our reservations towards this individual on personal level to reject his discovery and actual unique star which is always been there? NO

If yes, that be knee je rk reaction on our part, yes lets just shoot the messenger instead of concentrating on the message...very productive..nice going mate..instead of saying- thanks dude- good work...

hopefully above is helpful and clarifies things a bit.
