He is there less at the moment as a direct consequence of the political calculations by which Sant Samaj (who oppose him) have to be kept sweet by Badal camp.

Again a big lie.What do you mean by less. He is not there at all now. A sikh should not tell lies.

@ GPS Paji

Paji, you must obviously be aware that Avtar Singh Hit Ji was affiliated with the Badal camp and that explains why the pro-Gurmat position was not given access to the stage in those years. Paji if Dhunda is a cheat and anti-Sikh then can you point his anti-Sikh cheating positions where the Sangat was in full agreement with him below? So if Sangat agree with him on certain issues (but not everything) does that define the Sangat as being anti-Sikh or atheist? Surely, we should all focus on the points where everybody agrees (though we can respectfully debate minor points of polite disagreement)

Paji i mentioned that it would be the local Sangat that gets the kathakars from the pro-Gurmat camp back at Sri Bangla Sahib in the future. The opposite of more often is less (regardless if the occurrence is never). If Sikhs should not tell lies then why do some claim Guru Sahib had other lives or on who the author of Charitropakhyan tales was?

I believe where there is ready access to vegetarian bhojan we should not eat meat. Dhunda Sahib has not encouraged Sangat like myself to eat meat.

We need to join forces for Unity (rather than nitpick on any minor pretext)

@ Singh559 Paji

Paji what I'm surprised about is why certain youth (like we had out here in the UK too) are so bitterly opposed to people like Sarbhjit Singh Khalsa (Dhunda) and Panthpreet Singh Khalsa. No Sikh on the planet will ever oppose the authenticated Bani of Dasme PaathShah but the fact that there are two opinions about what is and isn't Bani of Dasme PaathShah is a reality, so why not all of us accept that all sides of the debate have equal reverence for Dhan Dhan Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj. My personal belief is that the money would have gone to promoting access to education in Malwa and Majha where Dhunda Sahib and the pro-Gurmat camp have a positive reputation. People there would be shocked as to why clearly pro-Sikh and anti-Congress kathakars from the pro-Gurmat camp are met with near hysteria and threats of violence by a small section of Diaspora youth. Regarding the pro-Gurmat camp as anti-Sikh is misguided and that's my strongly held opinion. Because Sri Anandpur Sahib and the birth of the Khalsa Panth should count for more than the stories supposedly connected to the Hindu Maa Durga and Sri Hemkhunt Sahib location. And that is a viewpoiunt within the Panth that can be never be shut down no matter how hard a minority might try.

Most people who called him here in Fresno regret or will regret calling him because they are slowly starting to find out that youth, even those from the Gurdwaras they attend won't allow it and will outright put a stop to malicious lies that dhundi and his band of missionaries are spewing. All these pardhaans have very basic or limited knowledge of Sikhi and SIkh history and even a very basic knowledge of Sikhi can put them in their place.

Here in California alone Dhundi took 100,000 U.S. dollars on his tour. Where this money is going I don't know. Either they are pocketing it or putting it into causing more problems in the panth. Who needs RSS when we have unpard pindoos putting titles like professors and gianis in front of their names.

In California he basically admitted he does not believe in Jaap Sahib and Dasam Granth Nitnem, but only recites them out of "majboori" and thinks maybe in the future they will find evidence they don't exist. He only said this so he wouldn't get embarrassed in front of sangat, in reality he doesn't believe in any of the Nitnem Banis from Dasam Granth.

These guys are politicians and are only out for money, similar to pakhandi babe who travel abroad and speak the language of the sangat and take home money.

Great post veer ji. Dhundha is from very impoverished background which is not a sin. Guru ji advises us to be content with what we have and do hard work to earn an honest living, share it with needy. But dhundha has found another way for making money to get rid of poverty and that is to discard sikh scriptures.Money he collects goes to buy personal land in Punjab and buy a luxurious vehicle.

===================================================================================================

GPS = You were lying yourself. You wrote earlier

GPS = Quote from UKlondons

UK = "He is there less at the moment as a direct consequence of the political calculations ---------"

Unquote

GPS = Above means he does katha there but not many times.

UK = No that's where you are wrong GPS Paji. It may imply that but it does not state outright what you have inferred. I don't think anybody doubts that Sant Samaj have asked for pro-Gurmat kathakars to be excluded from Sri Bangla Sahib - but like I said it's only a matter of time before the Dehli Sangat request such kathakars back as they never once spoke in favour of a crook like Sarna. Those that support Bhai Rajoana and Professor Bhullar are not Congress lapdogs.

GPS = Your two points is about guru sahib doing meditation at hem Kunt sahib.This is second time you are stating this.

UK = I only place my my faith in Dhan Dhan Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj (jin'ki GurGaddi). I do not place any faith in the stories cooked up by anti-Sikh forces such as the Mughals and Manu Smriti waalay that claim our Guru Sahib had any connection to Hindu Goddess Maa Durga in a previous life near Sri Hemkhunt Sahib.

GPS = Previously you stated that he was durga bhagat there.

UK = No Paji I don't believe Guru Sahib had any connection with Hindu Maa Durga whatsoever. It's you who believe that.

GPS = How do you know he did not meditate there (in a previous life)?

UK = Paji where is your proof about Dhan Dhan Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj's supposed previous life?

GPS = Coming to charitropakhayan, what is wrong there?

UK = What is wrong is people like yourself claiming that Dhan Dhan Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj wrote Charitropakhiyan at the age of 9 on the banks of the Yamuna River in the aftermath of Dhan Dhan Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji Maharaj's shaheedi for Sarbat Da Bhala

GPS = In the same way Charitropakhayan advises us to refrain from lustful acts by telling stories. It says that union between husband and wife is acceptable whereas sexual union of wedlock is forbidden as it is harmful for society.

UK = And according to you Paji, Dhan Dhan Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj is deficient in the above advice supposedly. Even if you don't say it, it's what you are implying.

GPS = If you have any issues on (certain parts of) dasam granth,

UK = Paji i have no issues with authentic bani of Dasme PaathShah. My problems are with parts that you, the RSS and Khemu Bedi asscoiate with Guru Sahib without sufficient proof.

GPS = Uksikh wrote "Dhunda Sahib has not encouraged Sangat like myself to eat meat"

GPS = Not only he devours it himself also encourages sangat to eat it. Did he find it in Guru Granth sahib?

UK = I don't eat meat myself and I don't think any Gursikh is ehna kach'chah to eat meat at the prompting of another. Khalsa Fauj was not restricted to vegetarian bhojan in times of war.

UK = Paji you know full well that only parts of Charitropakhiyan and the Kul-mentioning parts of Bachittar Natak which reference Ram Chander as a so-called ancestor of the Sodhi's are what many many GurSikhs dispute so there is no relavance to you quoting parts of Bani that I also have reverence for.

    • WJKK WJKF Sangat Ji, I bought a brand new medium Artisan Kirpan (8.7 inches) from https://thekhalsaraj.com/products/black-g10-ultra-durable-kirpans 2 months ago, and it is in unused condition. I bought it 2 months ago and it is in unused condition, with everything that came with it still fully sealed. I even paid extra to get it ੴ ਸਤਿ ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ  laser engraved on the blade. This cost me £370 including shipping from the USA. It is in brand new condition, but I no longer need it since I have been gifted a new Buddha Dal-made Pesh Kabz for free. I am selling it for £250 even though it is in brand new condition - it is a first-hand Kirpan. From the official website, it costs £370. The handle is indestructable G10 fiberglass, wielded to a razor sharp blade (edge and tip) which is engraved with the custom Gurbani. Please reply if any Singh/Kaur here would like to buy it - it's 100% first hand but £120 reduced price. Includes a an embroidered padded case for airport travel, a blank certificate of ownership, maintenance brochure and a beautifully decorated black/grey adjustable Gatra.   I sent this advert out to a few places, and also asked some retailers if they'd like it, so it may go soon. Please do reply if anybody is interested, more than happy to answer questions too! (Note: the pic is from Google but is exactly what the Kirpan and Gatra both look like - the one I have is still in the packaging).

    • WJKK WJKF! How long will this forum remain online for in a readable & accessible state? It appears susceptible to shut-down. It would be a shame if all the forum's content from over the decades is lost in such an event due to servers hosting this forum shutting-down. This forum, whilst not currently active, remains an important repository of the Sikh religion online. It also is a fundamental aspect of Sikh cyber culture that existed from the early Internet period from the 2000's to 2010's before the domination by big social-media sites that consolidated the community. Thus, have the web-masters of this forum considered archiving this forum's contents before it is lost forever? I can assist you in this by saving the content to the Internet Archive on your behalf. Please let me know your thoughts about such an endeavour and I hope you may consider the possibility of archiving the forum for posterity. Future generations of Sikhs and Sikh researchers will be grateful. Kind regards, Theth Panjabi (you can find me on IG at theth.panjabi and on X/Twitter at ThethPanjabi)
    • Video on the tale, gurdwara, and manuscript: link As the story goes, during the Vadda Ghallughara genocide against the Sikhs perpetrated by the Afghan Durrani Empire on 5–6 February 1762, not only were Sikh lives lost, but our original Damdami Sahib Bir recension was also lost in that carnage. However, over the years I have spent researching our history, many claimed it was taken back to Afghanistan by Ahmad Shah Abdali's troops as loot whilst others said it was secretly hidden somewhere by the Singhs for safe-keeping. As of today, it remains untraceable and I presume it is gone for good. However, I came across a couple of articles stating that there were actually around five master-copies of the original Damdami Bir, with one of these copies being safeguarded by the jatha of Bhai Sudha Singh of the Shaheedan Misl. "It is said that the tenth Sikh master Guru Gobind Singh had got five birs written at Damdama Sahib. The bani (writings) of the ninth Sikh master Guru Tegh Bahadur were incorporated in these birs. These five birs were given to different jathas (groups) of Sikhs by Guru Gobind Singh to be safely installed. One bir was being taken by Sudha Singh who was leading a jatha of 19 Sikhs, when Abdali'[s] forces stormed Kup-Rohira and killed thousands of Sikhs. Though all 19 Sikhs were massacred by Abdali, Sudha Singh somehow brought the bir to Kuthala. Since then it has been kept at village gurdwara." (Times of India, 2012) The gurdwara today [Gurdwara Shaheed Baba Sudha Singh Ji in Kuthala] has a certain historical manuscript that they claim is one of the five master-copies of the Damdama recension. You can see close-up shots of the bir in the video posted. I will also share close-up images of its folios in the comment section. I will also provide a faithful English translation of the video's narration so non-Punjabi speakers may benefit from this post. I will leave the question on whether this bir is authentic or not to your judgement but I will provide my own analysis below.   English translation of the video's narration: The Guru-form Guru Khalsa Holy Congregation (Sadh Sangat) Ji, Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh. The Gurdwara Sahib that the congregation is currently beholding is situated in Village Kuthala, near Malerkotla, in the Sangrur district of Punjab. A very great treasure is preserved within this Gurdwara Sahib. The history of this Gurdwara Sahib is very closely related to the Vada Ghalughara (The Great Holocaust) that took place in February 1762. Baba Sudha Singh Ji, the third head of the Shaheedi Misl, arrived at this location considering it a safe place. He brought with him that sacred holy scripture (Saroop) which the Tenth Father, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, had personally dictated to Bhai Mani Singh Ji on the holy land of Damdama Sahib. Upon arriving, he personally performed the last rites (cremation) of 19 martyred Sikhs at this site. As he prepared to leave to take command of the Jatha (the Sikh contingent), the sacred holy scripture he had brought was enshrined at this very location. At that time, this place was known as Dera Jaga Sidh, but nowadays, a very beautiful building stands here in the name of Gurdwara Sahib Shaheedi. The sacred holy scriptures that were enshrined at that time are today ceremoniously displayed (Prakashwan) with great respect every Channi Dashmi (the tenth day of the bright lunar fortnight) for the congregation to behold. Devotees from within the country and abroad arrive to catch a glimpse of these sacred scriptures and receive the Guru's blessings. Every year, an annual Gurmat Samagam (religious congregation) is held for five consecutive days in memory of the martyrs of the Great Holocaust, concluding on Magh Sudi Dashmi. Furthermore, a book containing the full detailed history—titled after Shaheed Baba Sudha Singh Ji and the Hand-written Holy Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji—was released in February 2013 by the managing volunteers based on historical research. It was released by the 14th head of the Shaheedi Misl, Singh Sahib Baba Makhan Singh Ji (the current head of Baba Bakala Sahib), the Meet Jathedar Singh Ji, and Sant Gurdev Singh Ji of Anandpur Sahib (the current head). The congregation can obtain spiritual benefit by reading it. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.   My analysis: In my humble opinion (which may be incorrect), this bir is not a master-copy of the Damdami Bir. It more closely resembles the highly-decorated birs of the Kashmiri-style that were created during the reign of the Sikh Empire in the first half of the 19th century. We can see this bir has highly illuminated and illustrated angs (folios), which took the great skill of a master artisan to make, which required resources to pay and patronize. Usually, the manuscripts during the Sikh Empire were the most elaborately decorated, as this was when the Sikhs were at a high-point, masters of the land, possessing vast amounts of resources that they could use to fund such endeavors. Therefore, whilst the story may be true and a master-copy of the Damdami Bir recension may have once been at this location, I am not convinced that this particular manuscript is it. I may be mistaken and I am open to constructive criticism. 1633648456_GurdwaraHistory.mp4
