EVeybody who uses the name Ramghria is a descendant of Jassa Singh as he was the first to use it.

Remember the Misl name: Ramgharia was used because Jassa Singh created the Ramgharh fort, as this was in Amritsar he named it after Guru Ram Das. The name Ramgharia was used/given in apprecation of Jassa Singh building the fort only.

I recently watched this fascinating Sikh Channel interview with G S Mann on the Dasam Granth

It ended on a REALLY interesting note, where Mann quoted the minutes of a meeting of Christian missionaries that took place shortly after the 2nd Anglo-Sikh war, where the missionaries spoke of a desire to separate Sikhs (and by corollary Sikhi) from "the evil of Guru Gobind Singh" in favour of what, I imagine, they (mistakenly) perceived as the more pacifist teachings of Baba Nanak.

This might help explain why the Dasam Granth seems to have slowly come to occupy a background position in the mainstream panth afterwards?

Good work by Mann on highlighting McLeod's mistaken dating of the Prem Sumarag Granth.

It very well could be. RSS and other such groups try to dissociate Guru Gobind Singh Ji from Guru Nanak Dev Ji as well in hopes ignorant Sikhs will believe their propaganda.

Correct me of I'm wrong, but Guru Nanak Dev Ji started Amrit and also carried shastar and the knowledge of shastar vidiya was passed down to Guru Hargobind Sahib through Baba Budha Ji.

Ek Jot. One Light.

Wahe Guru Ji Ka Khalsa Wahe Guru Ji ki Fateh

Leading up to the forthcoming programme on Sri Dasam Granth Sahib on the Sikh Channel here is a article showing that the same sources of Sikh history that are employed to justify Guru Granth Sahib are the ones that show the importance of Sri Dasam Granth Sahib.

This article was written for the Sikh Magazine Sant Sipahai and published in March 2010.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
