Censorship on Waheguroo!'s Discussion Forums

By STAFF

The Sikh Times, Jul. 21, 2004

According to an administrative post on Waheguroo!'s discussion forums (mirrored at SikhSangat.com) dated April 23, 2004, discussion on several topics 'will not be allowed' in accordance with 'a Hukamnama [edict] passed by Sri Akal Takht [Amritsar, Punjab, India].'

Judging from the list of subjects banned from discussion - 'Meat, Dasam Granth, Raag Mala and Keski as Kakar' - it appears that the group is under the influence of the Akhand Kirtani Jatha (A.K.J.).

A.K.J., an organization launched by the late Randhir Singh, has its own rahit maryada (code of conduct), which is more rigid than the official one approved by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (S.G.P.C.).

Per A.K.J.'s code, eating meat is prohibited, the Dasam Granth (a secondary Sikh scripture of disputed authorship) is sacred, the Raag Mala is considered an inauthentic part of the Adi Granth (the primary Sikh sc

ripture), and keski (head covering), as opposed to the traditional kes (unshorn hair), is considered part of the 5Ks required to be worn by all Khalsa (baptized) Sikhs.

The post also states, 'Any direct attack or mockery on our Sikh gurus or Sikh warriors or on any mahan [great] Sikh Personality (ex: Sant Jarnail Singh Bhinderanwale [sic]) will be automatically deleted by Moderators and Administrators, and a warning will also be issued.'

Waheguroo! claims '1570 registered members.'

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
