San Jose Gurudwara Committee Members Violate Panth's Edict

Meet with Kala-Afghana at Dinner party

Waheguroo! Network News Bureau

Tuesday, 29th July 2003

On July 10th, 2003 Gurbax "Kala Afghana" was excommunicated from the Sikh community by Sri Akal Takhat. The straight-forward hukamnama issued by "The Throne of the Almighty," is supported by the entire worldwide Khalsa fellowship. Akal Takht has instructed Sikhs on many occasions to abstain from eating with or marrying into the family of thankahiyas.

A meeting was held between concerned members of the Khalsa panth and the management Committee of the San Jose Gurdwara Sahib in California on Sunday, July 27th. At this meeting Waheguroo! News sources report that the committee verbalized its absolute support for the authority of the Akal Takht. The congregation heard from a few committee members in the meeting, who reported that the consensus of the committee was that the Akal Takhat is the supreme seat of governance of the Sikh community, and the collective voice of the Khalsa fellowship, which, regardless of the individual in the position of the jathedar, must be followed. Therefore, they added, the new gurdwara's langar hall will be maintained according to the Panthic maryada as well.

Despite these resolutions and statements, eleven members of San Jose Gurudwara Sahib's management commitee, along with other sangat members, met with Kala-Afghana and his primary supporter, Professor Gurtej (Chandhigarh), Monday Even

ing (July 28th) for a dinner party at a residence in the San Jose area because no Gurudwara would allow them to be on the premises. Waheguroo! Network News sources report that Professor Gurtej (Chandhigarh), Hardev Shergill (Sikh Bulletin), Sarabjot Savadhi, and San Jose Gurudwara committee members Balwant Chahal (President), Jaswant Hothi (Secretary, Vice President American Gurudwara Prabandakh Committee), Balbir Dhillon (General Secretary), Sukhdev Gill, Bob Gill, Sukhwinder Dhaliwal, Kulwant Sidhu, "Taxi-Driver" Sekhon, K. "Budda" Dhillon, Baksheesh Chahal, and Bachittar Sangha were at this party. Some were initiated Sikhs but still attended this meeting and may have accepted offerings of alcohol, violating not only the Kala-Afghana directive of the Akal Takhat, but basic tenets of Sikhi. Waheguroo! News correspondents are investigating the matter, as resolutions go forward to the Akal Takhat, amongst uproar, against the actions of these individuals.

At the dinner party held at General Secretary Balbir Dhillon's residence, Kala Afghana and supporters openly criticized Sri Akal Takht Sahib. Kala Afghana was asked why he did not appear before Sri Akal Takht Sahib when summoned, he replied that he did answer--in the form of a letter. But when he was further queried as to the contents of the letter and answers to Akal Takht Sahib, he seemed to have no idea what he wrote, if he wrote it at all. He went on to further say that he will never appear before Sri Akal Takht Sahib as the current jathedar and staff of Akal Takht Sahib are worse than the mughal Masa Rangar who invaded Darbar Sahib, took over Akal Takht and had dancing girls inside of Sri Darbar Sahib.

Kala Afghana also went on to imply that Guru Granth Sahib is not really Guru and that worshipping Guru Sahib is idol worship. He said that the sakhi of Guru Arjan Dev Jee doing chaur sahib over Guru Granth Sahib in Darbar Sahib is a lie. He continued saying that Parkash and Sukhasan of Guru Sahib are also useless rituals. He said we ca

n just go on the internet or get a CD-ROM and that can be our guru as well. He said understanding the message is more important than worshipping the Guru.

He also insulted the preservation of Sikh history saying that places where Guru Sahib has visited and where historical events occured do not need to be preserved as commemorating this history is "Brahminism."

Despite his new insults to Sikhi, Kala, still sticking to his old lines, said that one needs to become amrit, not take it, as taking amrit is useless. He then went on to insult Sri Darbar Sahib saying that for three hundred years, twenty four hours a day Gurbani has been read there, but the water still failed to become Amrit, implying that recitation of Gurbani is useless. Continuing to insult the sacred sarovar, he said that this water is the same water that dead bodies decompose in.

Sadly, Kala Afghana's remarks weren't the worst. The remark which seems to have local sangat concerned was made by Jaswant Hothi, General Secretary of Gurudwara Sahib San Jose and Vice President of AGPC. Hothi is quoted as saying "These people [Kala-Afghana and Gurtej] are so knowledgable [in Sikhi] that we need to bring our youth to meet them and learn from them."

Panthic Groups Demand Committee Members Resign for associating with Thankahiya

Tuesday, 29th July 2003

Eleven members of the San Jose, California Gurudwara committee, as reported by reliable Panthic News sources of Waheguroo! Network News, have been found to be in direct violation of the explicit Hukamnama issued by Sri Akal Takhat Sahib regarding the excommunication of Gurbaksh Kala Afghana. Despite the massive multimedia campaign and face to face meetings with loyal members of the Khalsa Panth reiterating the Hukamnama, a dinner party was held by these eleven members among whose guests were Gurbaksh Kala Afghana and Professor Gurtej. Alcohol, forbidden according to the Sikh Rehat Maryada, was reportedly “in the air” and may have been served to several guests as well.

Waheguroo! Network and Khalsa Alliance, along with other pro-panthic groups including the undersigned, hereby demand the resignation of Balwant Chahal (President), Jaswant Hothi (Secretary, Vice President American Gurudwara Prabandakh Committee), Balbir Dhillon (General Secretary), Sukhdev Gill, Bob Gill, Sukhwinder Dhaliwal, Kulwant Sidhu, “Taxi-Driver” Sekhon, K. “Budda” Dhillon, Baksheesh Chahal, and Bachittar Sangha from the management committee of San Jose Gurudwara Sahib. Sri Akal Takht Sahib is also respectfully requested to declare them thankahiya and formally recognize they are in direct violation of the hukamnama along with the other attendees: Professor Gurtej (Chandhigarh), Hardev Shergill (Sikh Bulletin), a

nd Sarabjot Savadhi.

The collective sangat is urged to demand the immediate resignation of these committee members. It has been reported that if the Gurudwara leadership does not abide by the Hukamnama that the Khalsa body will take further stern action to ensure compliance.

Gurudwaras in the Northern California region are hereby being urged to also demand that the San Jose leadership in breach of the hukamnama step down so that new committee members can be chosen.

In the spirit of Panthic Chardee Kalaa,

The Sevadaars of the Waheguroo! Network and The Khalsa Alliance

Panthic Groups Demand Resignations

Committee members violated edict

Waheguroo! Network News Bureau

Tuesday, 29th July 2003

Waheguroo! Network, Khalsa Alliance, and other Panthic groups are demanding the resignation of eleven members of San Jose Gurudwara Sahib's management committee. Sources report they were socialising at a dinner party on July 28th with Kala Afghana and his primary supporter, Professor Gurtej (Chandhigarh). It is expected that many, if not all, of the Gurudwaras in Northern California will demand resignation of these eleven members.

The members of the Gurudwara management committee breached a Hukamnama given by Sri Akal Takht Sahib which clearly states that Sikhs are to abstain from eating with or marrying into the family of those who are excommunicated from the panth and/or his supporters. In addition to dining with Kala Afghana, sources report that the eleven members, some of which are initiated Sikhs, may have accepted offerings of alcohol--therein violating basic tenets of Sikhi and the Kala Afghana directive. Everything should be done to assure removal (from the management committee) of these eleven members, who have clearly undermined the authority of the Akal Takht. Waheguroo! Network, along with Khalsa Alliance, and other Panthic groups are asking that these twelve members be declared 'thankahiya' for their violations.

At Hardev Shergill's Anti-Panthic Dera, Kala-Afghana and Professor Gurtej (Chandhigarh) will meet with invita

tion only guests on Friday and Saturday. Sources tell us many Gursikhs from all around California are planning a massive protest.

They are Backstabbers... One thing is that we should never ever keep trust in indians(ex: SJ gurd. management) by having tha verbal agreement.. Do everything in legal way written way..

    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
