Respectfully bhaji's i must say that the semantic gymnastics being played are quite plain to see.

As I read the letter signed by four Singh Sahibans I understood it for what it was. Any member must be Amritdhari......end of.

As the hukumnama has come out, it will be interestring to see what happens.

I dont know anything about semantics, i can only tell you what i have witnessed and endured for the last 9 or 10 years working with the committee of my local gurdwara. semantics or not, i can safely say that being amritdhari is not the basis that committee members should selected. It can be a part of it, but should not be an absolute.

Not much thought process goes into your post and it really shows. Before you continue with anything further find out what Amritdhari and Sehajdhari mean. Then come back to tell everyone what you have learned.

I dont need to exhaust any thought process jaspreet, I have the benefit of working closely with amritdhari members of gurdwara committees, with some i would never like to see in any gurdwara committee again.

stop acting like a clown, with your snide remarks. if you find it hard try doing an ardas.

Missionaries nastiks already have control over many gurdwaras in the past system of complete freedom. How is uncontrolled system better?

it isnt better, but the rules to make it better arent the way that Sri Akal Takht Sahib has instructed.

you could exclude people who have done sterling sewa in gurdwara, for the panth etc, buyt they would be overlooked by people like dhunda or panthpreet.

Obviously you are not here to learn and just want to push your views on others. Again for the nth time your past experiences do not dictate what Amritdhar and Sehajdhari mean. You have a very hard time grasping what is written.

Some points for your clarification:

1 you did not ask him if he is a mona...... You said "i think you are, if not.......

That in the English language is known and referred to as an assumption. That assumption in the English language is considered as being the mother of.........i'll leave the rest for your ample imagination.

2 your entire "example" is without merit for the following reason, the Hukkam of the Akal Takht is global, so the legal status of YOUR country is actually irrelevant. Prove me wrong by boarding a plane wearing your Sri Sahib.......

3 the humiliation I shall say was warranted and accept as Guru's bhana, as I assumed to be in conversation with a Satkar Yog GurSikh, who addressed me as Jivan........moreover you decided for yourself that my understanding of the English language is inadequate.

4 to suggest that I have messed with the "wrong" person leads me to believe that your ego is indeed beyond your conscious control and for that as a brother I beg of you to address this through Naam and Gurbani.

5 you're absolutely correct my brother, Waheguru is watching and I am always conscious of this but alas I am but a mere human being.........I can but only aspire to be as intelligent and gifted as your goodself.

Bhul chuk maaf kardeyo ji

Then why pose a question as if missionaries nastiks have not taken over Gurdwaras and the new Hukamnama will make it that missionaries nastiks will be the new kingpins of Gurdwara take overs?

How would it exclude them? I say it will make people who have done sterling sewa to take the next step of taking Amrit and following the Hukam of Guru Gobind SIngh Sahib ji. It will bring positive change to the Khalsa Panth.

Please tell us you're joking jivan.

Obviously you are not here to learn and just want to push your views on others. Again for the nth time your past experiences do not dictate what Amritdhar and Sehajdhari mean. You have a very hard time grasping what is written.

like you dont want to push your views on others? you still pushing the sehajdahri thing, there is no sehajdhari group of note in the western world.

experiencies count a lot.

Then why pose a question as if missionaries nastiks have not taken over Gurdwaras and the new Hukamnama will make it that missionaries nastiks will be the new kingpins of Gurdwara take overs?

because it is a question/situation that will arise. no loss in being prepared.

How would it exclude them? I say it will make people who have done sterling sewa to take the next step of taking Amrit and following the Hukam of Guru Gobind SIngh Sahib ji. It will bring positive change to the Khalsa Panth.

this is the first decent thing that you have posted.

1. I can't bang by head against a brick wall anymore. You figure it out yourself.

2. Here is another person without a legal back ground. Kirpan is not allowed on airplanes because of security related risks. But tell me what is the security risk with complete Amritdhari committee? We walk into Parliament with Kirpans on. Learn how to compare legal examples against each other. Also read carefully, i was speaking about common law countries. Sikhs never get scared of a challenge, if in other countries it is harder to explain through their thick heads then take it on. Sikhs stay in Chardikala demonstrate it brother.

3. no need to comment

4. You can make whatever assumptions, but i said it so you understand that I won't take it lying down. My Guru taught me fight to the ability he has given me and where you cannot, accept Akal Purakhs Hukam.

    • 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.
