I am curious about the procedure. Is there some sort of Gurmata passed, or is there a minimum qualification required? Who chooses the Jathedar? What credentials are kept in mind when choosing? Who has the authority to choose? Etc. etc.

Please share if you are aware

Thanks

same I too would like an answer or the ideal answer ?

Such is the state of Guru Sahib's qaum? If this was a spicy topic we would have been on the 4th page by now! But I ask a genuine question and for 21 hours no one has an answer?

Guru Sahib jee! Baksh lavo te bachaa lavo!

maybe Veer ji , it's a sad indication that question has most ordinary Sikhs stymied ...we can see how they were selected in the past by merit, kamai and character. but these days the qualities are non-exsistent no zameer, no daleri, little kamai, just a puppet yes man. i feel likr crying thinking on it...how far we have fallen

Bhenji you see how shameful this looks? We don't even know who appoints the man supposed to be the "POPE" of the Khalsa Panth, we don't know what merits/credentials he is supposed to have in order to get there.

I wish atleast one person knew, so that we could brainstorm and extract the root cause of where we may have been wrong all along. We could prepare a list of what we need to work on as a Panth. But alas.....

Now my next question, since none of us have any clue how this procedure works, who is to blame this time? Ok let me sugarcoat it, who do we blame for our own ignorance about this crucial procedure?

The SPGC has changed a lot of things in the three decades since they allowed the enemy into the heart of our kaum's affairs; we have lost touch with historical precedents and the true operational might of the khalsa because we blindly trusted them to do right. that is our fault, we as a kaum never thought 'hold on these scum are alive though thousands died in 84, they allowed the govt to destroy and loot the reference library how??' obviously an administration who is baying for all sikhs blood should be uniformly against all sikhs in that situation not sparing the handful ...those are the collaborators and do not deserve to live since they abandoned their duty to the kaum at its hour of need.

Please forgive me if you guys are not very familiar with Urdu. Listen to what Mr. Hassan Nisar is saying here about Islamic history. Does it ring a bell? Try to see it from a Sikh perspective and ask yourself: Have we fallen into the same trap?

If you don't understand Urdu please carry on in some other thread.

Thanks

From what I know of history there was never a jathedar only until 20th century and SGPC raj ....up until 1920s/30s SARBAT KHALSA was called and punj piarey would issue hukamnama to panth. I would agree to that only once we found the wolves in sheep's clothing and did their sodha as prescribed in Bhai Chaupa Singh rehitnama under the section describing what is to come .

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
