Why Don't We Have A Gurdwara With Dasam Granth Sahibji Parkash In Ontario?


Recommended Posts

If devi devta are ants then were are mere particles of dust. You must be blind to the quotes that say the devi devtay are servants of god. You and me are not even close to that. Who are you to judge them? You think because the Guru calls someone ants that you can also call them ants? They are higher powers than us according to the will of god. God made Durga: "thayheen Durga saajkay dentaan da naas karaya". God made them special, unlike me and you. We are keeray compared to devi devtay as they are keeray compared to Sadashiv/Bhagauti.

A lot of huffing and puffing, but nothing materialized. You made the claim that Gurbani has immense respect for devi and devta, but you have not presented a single pankti.

"thayheen Durga saajkay dentaan da naas karaya"

The above comes in Chandi di Vaar and is not giving immense respect to Durga. It is actually saying if you read the whole pauri that these devis and devta (including durga) received their strength from Vaheguru. After creating the playing field he got these devta and devis in a fight with demons. Indra lost against the demons. Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib ji is telling what actually happened and not the lies told by Vedant scriptures. Guru Sahib is setting the record straight that these devis and devta are nothing special.

Here is the link if anyone is interested

You come from a Hindu background and will favor these devi and devta just as a Muslim will favor Muhammad. One thing is very clear in Gurbani. Whether that be Aad Granth or Dasam Granth, these devi and devta were sent by Vaheguru to spread dharm, but they got lost in their own pride and started teaching people they are to be worshipped and are the One Supreme Being. They taught the people how to worship them, but never told the people how to worship Akal Purakh. And today these devi and devta are begging at the feet of Vaheguru's Bhagats to attain liberation.

If these devis and devta actually taught according to Gurbani. Then they would be special and immense respect would be given to them as immense respect is given to Bhagat Prahlaad ji. Bhagat ji is special not these devi devta. Bhagat Dhanna Jatt ji is special, but not these devi devta. Tav Parsad Swaiyve very clearly state Vaheguru does not care about how big of an army or powers (as devi and devta had), or how many battles you have won. The immense respect comes from following the instructions of Vaheguru.

You have been on this site for how long? And you have never come across the angs in GGSji where Guru Sahib says God came in the form of Krishan Bhagwanji? I shouldnt hve to tell you the quotes and lines as there are people on this site like neosingh and others who have mentioned what I did numerous times. And i already know Durga was made (saajkay) by Sadashiv. Thats the whole point of the line... They were made deliberately by God, not like me and you. I really dont see how you can degrade higher beings by quoting the Guru as if you hold the same authority.

A hindu friend of mine once remarked SGGS is written in praise of Rama and Krishna - here are two shabads to debunk this myth - first is by bhagat namdev and second by Guru Nanak .

ਆਜੁ ਨਾਮੇ ਬੀਠਲੁ ਦੇਖਿਆ ਮੂਰਖ ਕੋ ਸਮਝਾਊ ਰੇ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
Today, Naam Dayv saw the Lord, and so I will instruct the ignorant. ||Pause||
ਪਾਂਡੇ ਤੁਮਰੀ ਗਾਇਤ੍ਰੀ ਲੋਧੇ ਕਾ ਖੇਤੁ ਖਾਤੀ ਥੀ ॥
O Pandit, O religious scholar, your Gayatri was grazing in the fields.
ਲੈ ਕਰਿ ਠੇਗਾ ਟਗਰੀ ਤੋਰੀ ਲਾਂਗਤ ਲਾਂਗਤ ਜਾਤੀ ਥੀ ॥੧॥
Taking a stick, the farmer broke its leg, and now it walks with a limp. ||1||
ਪਾਂਡੇ ਤੁਮਰਾ ਮਹਾਦੇਉ ਧਉਲੇ ਬਲਦ ਚੜਿਆ ਆਵਤੁ ਦੇਖਿਆ ਥਾ ॥
O Pandit, I saw your great god Shiva, riding along on a white bull.
ਮੋਦੀ ਕੇ ਘਰ ਖਾਣਾ ਪਾਕਾ ਵਾ ਕਾ ਲੜਕਾ ਮਾਰਿਆ ਥਾ ॥੨॥

ਰਾਵਨ ਸੇਤੀ ਸਰਬਰ ਹੋਈ ਘਰ ਕੀ ਜੋਇ ਗਵਾਈ ਥੀ ॥੩॥
; he lost his wife, fighting a war against Raawan. ||3||
ਹਿੰਦੂ ਅੰਨ੍ਹ੍ਹਾ ਤੁਰਕੂ ਕਾਣਾ ॥
The Hindu is sightless; the Muslim has only one eye.
ਦੁਹਾਂ ਤੇ ਗਿਆਨੀ ਸਿਆਣਾ ॥
The spiritual teacher is wiser than both of them.
ਹਿੰਦੂ ਪੂਜੈ ਦੇਹੁਰਾ ਮੁਸਲਮਾਣੁ ਮਸੀਤਿ ॥
The Hindu worships at the temple, the Muslim at the mosque.
ਨਾਮੇ ਸੋਈ ਸੇਵਿਆ ਜਹ ਦੇਹੁਰਾ ਨ ਮਸੀਤਿ ॥੪॥੩॥੭॥
Naam Dayv serves that Lord, who is not limited to either the temple or the mosque. ||4||3||7||





ਆਸਾ ਮਹਲਾ ੧ ॥
Aasaa, First Mehl:
ਪਉਣੁ ਉਪਾਇ ਧਰੀ ਸਭ ਧਰਤੀ ਜਲ ਅਗਨੀ ਕਾ ਬੰਧੁ ਕੀਆ ॥
He created the air, and He supports the whole world; he bound water and fire together.
ਅੰਧੁਲੈ ਦਹਸਿਰਿ ਮੂੰਡੁ ਕਟਾਇਆ ਰਾਵਣੁ ਮਾਰਿ ਕਿਆ ਵਡਾ ਭਇਆ ॥੧॥
The blind, ten-headed Raavan had his heads cut off, but what greatness was obtained by killing him? ||1||
ਕਿਆ ਉਪਮਾ ਤੇਰੀ ਆਖੀ ਜਾਇ ॥
What Glories of Yours can be chanted?
ਤੂੰ ਸਰਬੇ ਪੂਰਿ ਰਹਿਆ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
You are totally pervading everywhere; You love and cherish all. ||1||Pause||
ਜੀਅ ਉਪਾਇ ਜੁਗਤਿ ਹਥਿ ਕੀਨੀ ਕਾਲੀ ਨਥਿ ਕਿਆ ਵਡਾ ਭਇਆ ॥
You created all beings, and You hold the world in Your Hands; what greatness is it to put a ring in the nose of the black cobra, as Krishna did?
ਕਿਸੁ ਤੂੰ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਜੋਰੂ ਕਉਣ ਕਹੀਐ ਸਰਬ ਨਿਰੰਤਰਿ ਰਵਿ ਰਹਿਆ ॥੨॥
Whose Husband are You? Who is Your wife? You are subtly diffused and pervading in all. ||2||
ਨਾਲਿ ਕੁਟੰਬੁ ਸਾਥਿ ਵਰਦਾਤਾ ਬ੍ਰਹਮਾ ਭਾਲਣ ਸ੍ਰਿਸਟਿ ਗਇਆ ॥
Brahma, the bestower of blessings, entered the stem of the lotus, with his relatives, to find the extent of the universe.
ਆਗੈ ਅੰਤੁ ਨ ਪਾਇਓ ਤਾ ਕਾ ਕੰਸੁ ਛੇਦਿ ਕਿਆ ਵਡਾ ਭਇਆ ॥੩॥
Proceeding on, he could not find its limits; what glory was obtained by killing Kansa, the king? ||3||
ਰਤਨ ਉਪਾਇ ਧਰੇ ਖੀਰੁ ਮਥਿਆ ਹੋਰਿ ਭਖਲਾਏ ਜਿ ਅਸੀ ਕੀਆ ॥
The jewels were produced and brought forth by churning the ocean of milk. The other gods proclaimed "We are the ones who did this!"



Further there are other sloks like

"Devi deva poojiye kya mango kya dey"

"thakur chor cheri ko dhyave"

This doesnt change the fact thag Guru Sahib has also spoken of Krishan Bhagwanji as God. All it does is show that Gurbani is complicated. And if the Gurus did not respect Devis then why would Pehli Paatshahi name his skn Laxmi? Let me guess.... That name Laxmi is referring to something or someone else riggt? Or he named his son after money and not the Devi?

veer ranjodh singh do you seriously believe rama's first fighting and later abondoning his pregnant wife a godly act

or krishna's stealing clothes of bathing young women ?

or shiva's killing modi's son .... I can go on and on

quote me where bani says krishna was god - bani says god never comes in human forms - parmatma is ajooni - just coz neo singh has an opinion on things doesnt it a fact.

also why do we need devi devtas when we can meditate on akaal purakh himself !

RanaJodh Singh Jee, No doubt Krishan was a very powerful being. But to understand the Sikh view of Krishan from the point of view of Bani one needs to look no further from Chandi Di Vaar in Dasam Granth. Guru Jee says:

ਤੈਥੋਂ ਹੀ ਬਲੁ ਕ੍ਰਿਸਨ ਲੈ ਕੰਸੁ ਕੇਸੀ ਪਕੜਿ ਗਿਰਾਇਆ ॥

Oh Vaheguru, it is only because of your bestowed strength that Krishan was able to grab Kans by the hair and throw him.

Guru Jee also says:

ਤੈਥੋਂ ਹੀ ਬਲੁ ਰਾਮ ਲੈ ਨਾਲ ਬਾਣਾ ਦਹਸਿਰੁ ਘਾਇਆ ॥

Meaning, it is only because of your bestowed strength that Raam was able to kill Ravan with arrows.

All the Rakshas that Krishan and Raam killed was not their doing. It was Vaheguru who did it by working through them. But the credit of all these heroic deeds went to Krishan and Raam and so they were worshiped instead of Vaheguru. This is why I feel when Gurbani uses terms like Madhusudhan or Murari it is not referring to Krishan but to Vaheguru who indeed was the real power which killed the Rakshas Mor and Madhu through Krishan. So for us Murari and Madhusudan titles rightfully belong to Vaheguru.

In Guru Granth Sahib, Guru jee writes that even Harnaksh was killed by Vaheguru because he was about to killed Bhagat Prahladh. Or when Draupadhi was being disrobed, it was Vaheguru who had saved her honour when she began to do Simran with full Shardha. But again, these heroic deeds were attributed to Avtars of Vishnu. In Sri Dasam Granth, Vaheguru Himself says(Akal Purkh Baach) he had created Shiv, Vishnu and Brahma, the Devi Devtas and even the Rakshas/Asur.

But people in India forgot the real creator(Kartar) and began to worship His creation(Shiv and Vishnu). From time to time, with the Kripa of Vaheguru Bhagats such as Prahladh and Dhru would recognize the real power behind these creations and began to worship Vaheguru instead of the creation.

I understand that the devi devtay were made the sadashiv but i still believe the gurus give respect to them because then they wouldnt say god acted through them. There is a quote that is explicitly praising krishan bhagwan and you cant be loke : "oh no forget that quote and place it under these quotes that seem to dis the devi devte" because your telling me to place a hierarchy on gurbani. You cant say one quote is more importat than the other. So if you think those quotes are in a hierarchy then your one basically saying there is a paradox in gurbani that is self contradictory. There is something that must explain the paradox of why one guru praises krishan and one seems to dis him. The only person on this site that has resolved this paradox without placing a hierarchy on gurbani lines and without saying gurbani is contradictory is neosingh. Im tired of people trying to say one ang is more valuable than anoter.

I agree that one should not disrespect any of the Avtars. They were spiritually elevated beings and they did good things and deserve respect for that. But pooja should only be of Akal. By worshiping the Avtars one can only go as far as Gian Khand where the Avtars are located. In fact Gurbani(Japji Sahib) states in Gian Khand there are many Krishans and Shivs(Kete Kaan Mahesh). If your goal is Gian Khand where Vaikunth is located then it is okay. But if one wants to go to Sach Khand then Naam Simran and Kirtan of Vaheguru is essential.

    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.  
    • Author Posted April 24   On 4/21/2025 at 2:43 PM, ipledgeblue said: sirr should not be nanga because keski is usually worn.   Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj.
