No Dal Khalsa isnt a rogue group lol my assessment of it is its a Sikh nationalist political group and has more interest in azaadi for Sikhs than scholarly religious affairs topics appart from fighting RSS and other hindu extremist groups attempts to "hindunize" Sikhs. As johnny has said Dal Khalsa's scope, mission and remit is more political than religious so really shouldn't get involved in these scholarly religious sensitive issues. Having said that how pathetic it is to see taksali and other similar jatha type Sikhs who cant let other scholars with different points of views have their say without resorting to threats of violence, protests or intimidation. How the hell are we going to solve the controversies regarding dasam granth bani if people are not allowed to have their say? I see islamic sectarian fundamentalists having more tolerance and intellectual debates more than I do of our Sikh sects and jatha's.

These debates will have to take place sooner or later and sgpc drawn up rehit maryada along with everything else will be examined in detail and questioned and people who dont like it without getting all emotional and neanderthal can either accept it or go behind bars as in any civilised society you have to be able to tolerate people questioning your beliefs and you being able to respond in a calm rational way.

I agree..what exactly is the point of not discussing topics openly..and only discussing them behind closed doors ? What is their to hide let everyone get their viewpoint across.. If certain jathebandis dont like it...then tough it has to accepted that people will have different viewpoints and the viewpoints of a particular jathebandi may not be accpeted by others it may not even be correct..

It is a fact that dal khalsa was formed at the residence of congress chief minister Giani zail singh. The strategy was to

sideline akalis and act agents of congress.

Dasam Granth is not a controversial issue at all. All sikhs consider it as a sacred scripture of Guru Gobind singh ji.It has

been analysed by a committe in 1897 and accepted in totality. Only a handful people who have not even seen it

propagate against it.Likes of darshan ragi who sang its bani all his life turned against it in his old age at behest of elements

inimical to sikhs.

If dal khalsa has no clue of sikh religion and its traditions they should stop meddling in its affairs. These people have paper

presence only.

As some of you have pointed out, the Dal Khalsa was created by the congress but I don't think they are any longer part of the congress. The congress created and encouraged them as a counter balance to the Akalis. They were mostly remnents of former Naxalites of Punjab which explains why they are so faithless and communistic in their beliefs. As mentioned earlier they need to stick to their political theories and stop putting their nose in religiuos affairs.

    • 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.
