Importance Of Singh Sabha Movement In Sikh History

[Jonny101]

Singh Sabhias had excommunicated the Bhasaurias.

Is there any hakumana regarding this or more info regarding this?

Bhausaria idealogy didn't ended with lone individual death he had disciples and ideology, group-panch khalsa divan thats why its known as bhausaria's with s once ideology like just bhraminvaad idealogy crepts in- it takes generations to get rid of:

Here sant gurbachan singh bhindranwale writes:

Here are thirteen reforms of bhausarias-an idealogy-

Bhasaurias were excommunicated by the Singh Sabha when the entire Panth had come under the power and influence of the Singh Sabha/Akalis. Sanatanists due to being British touts by then had largely become marginalized for the average Sikhs.

Thirteen reforms of Panch Khalsa Diwan:

1. Changed the manglacharans or ‘invocations’ in the AG.

2. Removed the Bhagat bāṇī from the AG.

3. Removed the Bhaṭṭāṅ de Svaiye from the AG.

4. Removed the Rāgamālā from the end of the AG as they believed that the AG is complete at Muṅdavaṇī.

5. Removed most of verses of DG to about 75/1428 pages. As the other portions were by ‘Hindu Court-poets’ as it is ‘Mukhvāk Darbārī.’

6. Modification of the Sikh Ardās from Pritham Bhagautī to Pritham Satināmu.

7. Removed the Hikāitāṅ from the Zafarnāmah.

8. Edited some parts of Bhai Gurdas’s works.

9. Removed the final verses of the Chaupaī Sāhib.

10. Called for the creation of a fifth physical Takht at their village Bhasaur.

11. Created a joint version of the edited AG and DG.

12. Changed the Keshkī or ‘under Turban’ into a Kakkār.

13. Changed the Vikramī Saṅmat Sikh Calendar. (See Teja Singh, Khālsā Rahit Prakāsh, (Bhasaur: Panch Khalsa Divan, 1917)

Also add to the list the creation of the Padshed Bir of Guru Jee. Before them, no Sikh had dared to do Padshed of Guru Jee. Strangely, today nearly the whole Panth (including those who think they are opposing Bhasaurias) are following this innovation of the Bhasaurias.

Anyhow, these 13(actually 14 if you include Padshed) is done by Bhasaurias. Singh Sabha has nothing to do with this.

You're doing maha nindiya by associating these dushts (bhasaurdias) with the like of Giani Ditt Singh, Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha, Bhai Sahib Vir Singh Ji, Prof Gurmukh Singh. The work of these Gurmukhs along with Sant Attar Singh Ji Mastuane is forever a stunt into sanatanists trying to bring bahmanvaad into the Sikh fold.

I never see any specification and dichotomy when nangs hate on Singh Sabha, they blindly blame Singh Sabha when in fact they mean bhsaurdias. These niddarites have nothing special to note, panth already doesn't accept bhasaurias.

I never said anything regarding against giani ditt singh singh, Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha, Bhai Sahib Vir Singh Ji, Prof Gurmukh Singh. Where did i say that?

I know you didn't and know your stance bro, but I'm just saying in general associating Singh Sabha with all that's being mentioned is wrong.

Sant Attar Singh Ji Mustaneywale were bhramgyani single handly beat christian missionaries by administering amrit in form of panj to many million sikhs and great balanced singh sabha leader(didn't endorse reformist theological idealogy yet bought many great reformations while maintaining holding traditional sikhi framework). Sant ji also beleived in wider indic sadhu soceity were staunch supporter of vidya aspect (knowledge is power) in indic soceity and also beleive in harmony with other communities*, most who hijack the term singh sangha like missionaries cannot be even dust of feet of sant attar singh ji mustaneywale.

Sant baba Attar Singh ji Mastuana (Panjab) also laid the foundation stone of Banaras Hindu University at Varanasi in 1914 upholding importance vidya and importance of interfaith harmony, this is also listed in their biography:

Opponents of the Singh Sabha fail to mention what was happening at the time,

Mahants that managed the Sikh Gurdwaras had become corrupt as they got good revenue from the land attached to the Gurdwaras they mixed with the British and Punjabi Hindu business types and adopted Brahmin rituals. When Sikhs opposed them they were attacked by the mahants with the help of the British and extremist Hindus.

'In 1905, Arur Singh, manager of the Golden Temple ordered the removal of all Hindu idols from the precincts of the Golden Temple, thereby putting an end to the performance of Hindu rituals in that area. This meant the Sikh revivalists now breaking with the orthodox Hindus, after a bitter struggle with the reformist Hindus and Arya Samaj. The Hindus used to worship a Hindu deity, after a sacred bath at the Golden Temple tank, and the Brahmins used to officiate at these ceremonies. That put an end to their traditional privileges.

The Sikhs asserted monotheism of their religion wherein idols had no place.'

The conversion of Sikhs to Hindus

Rahtia Sikhs in June 1900 by the Arya Samaj and cutting off of their long hair publicly at Lahore, caused an irretrievable schism between the Arya Samaj and the Sikhs on the one and, and between revivalists or Tat Khalsa and the Gurdwara management on the other, as Rahtias were only asking for the right to equal treatment guaranteed to them at pahul (baptism) ceremony. During 1901-1903 the Sikhs debated with radical Aryas the meaning of Sikhism and their separateness from the Hindus.

I heard the Singh Sabha was responsible for the Kennedy assassination. I also heard that Giani Ditt Singh was the second shooter on the grassy knoll! Lee Harvey Oswald was a sanatan Sikh who was used as a patsy by the Singh Sabha.

They hated Kennedy because he was catholic and they were protestant influenced Sikhs!
