Real Danger Of Rss And Its Touts

Recommended Posts

I have read at numerous posts on this forum where people still believe that RSS is just a self-created paranoia by overcautious sikhs. This thought may have been true in 1950s but today its is definitely not. I don't recall who said this - "The most dangerous enemy is the one who in garb of a friend", but this quote is holding so much relevance in today's diaspora.

In the pictures below, I was surprised that the Jathedar of Akal Takhat Sahb is standing there and participated in coconut breaking ritual (a ritual of Hinduism) which finds no place in Gurmat philosophy. You won't be surprised to spot the new chairman of the Tahat Hazoor Sahb Board, a RSS man, Tara Singh is standing there too. I am pretty sure someone will definitely reply to this post saying where is it written that coconut breaking is not allowed in Sikhi. To them-> please read Sikh Rehat Maryada (of Akal Takhat Sahb's).

Jathedar Nandgarh has also recently come out openly, revealing what happens behind the closed door meetings of the Jathdars of Takhats. The orders come directly from offices of RSS in Nagpur and Chandigarh and Jathedars just have to read over them. Can there be a lower level to which we can fall still? I have attached the news clip too. Note: I also believe he should have said all of this when he was in the office. Anyways, what is important is the crux of story- the negative influence of RSS.

Rss is anti minority and there is no doubt in it.

We should not be taken in its propaganda.

Concerning akal takhat, original poster need to know that there is a hukamnama from akal takhat asking Sikhs to boycott RSS. Please google and you will find.

On nandgarh, he was appointed by badal as jathedar and was in that post for more than a decade. Why he was keeping quiet all these years? Was he not attending meetings of jathedars all the time? Of course he was. Then where was he. He is a sham and should not be believed as he is indulging in calendar propaganda which is out rightly mischievous. He is playing in hands of missionaries who are doing damage to Sikhism. Fight rss as it is evil but do not trust stooges like nandgarh.

The hukamnama was released way back in 2005. Rss started spreading its roots aggressively after 2007 when our so called "panth-ratan" came in power in punjab, the RSS being the ideological parent of punjab government coalition partner-BJP. I am not favouring any political party here, but just clarifying with the timeline of events which correlate with its attack on sikhi and its principles.

Yes badal appointed nandgarh and as I said earlier in my post already, he should have spoken out while in office. Anyways, I have personally visited and toured the villages near damdama sahib (where he was jathedar) and people speak highly of him in terms of parchaar of brahman-less sikhi he has done in the area. You won't find people going to graves, etc. there, they are very informed about sikhi (I was myself surprised). Note: I didn't conduct any survey in scientific manner. It was basically going though villages and talking to people at saths, etc. And I am not favouring Nandgarh!

If I remember correctly, didn't some of our Guru Sahibs donate a coconut when they received gurgaddi??

Please don't post pictures like this which don't have any historical backing/proof. Anybody can paint any picture tomorrow and say guru sahib did this or that but the kasvati (benchmark) is gyan of sri guru granth sahib ji. Any rational minded person who has just read and understood (the meanings) of japji sahb would agree that guru sahb can't perform any fake ritual like this which make no sense at all. What we lack today is critical ability to percieve sikhi as it is, instead mixing it with brahmanical concepts. Sikhi is a revolution, based on logic and practicality this explaining this complex universe (or multiverse) in the most simplistic form.

Wow he broke a coconut.. what a big deal :/

If it is not a big deal it would become in some 100 years or so when sikhs would be bringing in talliyan (bells) in gurdwara too. Sikhi has to be kept intact in accordance to the message of guru granth sahb ji-no place of rituals like this whatsoever. Guru sahb spent their whole life breaking this ritualistic thought process of people, but its sad to see we haven't changed. Human intelligence is quite overrated.

isn't that how you eat coconuts anyways?? LOL. Coconuts are considered pavitr.

Nobody is saying to stop eating coconuts, but not to bring them in to distort the enlightening sikh philosophy. Coconuts are pavitr?? Bhenji are you still stuck in the question of what is pavitr/apavitr (pure/impure). Gurbani says akal purakh vibrates through every atom. Tell me what is not pavitr? When everything, every atom (electron, quarks, strings.....) is nothing but waheguru what would you call impure? Someone would now say then what is the problem with coconut then. So the problem is-> Guru Sahb wanted people to rid themselves of fear created by brahman about days/teeraths/seasons, etc. That is what real freedom is. But when someone tries to bring those pakhands and corrupt sikhi, it goes against guru sahb's message.

    • Ik i'm a few (13) years late but basically: Get a single Mal-mal dastar (around 3-5 metres) and starch it. You just whisk 2 ladles of starch (Kershaw's, cornstarch or maida) with around 5 cups of water until it's completely smooth and mix it on low heat flame for around 20 mins until it goes clear and think like water. When this cools off, take a clean but damp turban and soak it into the starch and make sure you coat the whole dastar evenly You leave it out to hang dry in the sun/air. Once dry u can store it in a cool, dry place until you wanna tie it (for about 4 months) Take the dastar, sprinkle some water all throughout the turban to make it slightly wet and just soft enough to tie. Then you and another person hold the dastar at each end to make a stretched rectangle (two people holding one corner in each of their hands). Fold it in half width-wise 3 times. Tie the turban like this quite loosely. The starch will make it tighter as it dries BUT TIE IT STAIGHT ONTO YOUR HEAD. NO MINi-TURBAN BENEATH IT. JUST TIE YOUR FLATTENED JOORA ON TOP OF YOUR HEAD AND THE DASTAR DIRECTLY ON TOP Secure it with pins and wear it on your head until it has dried from the water you sprinkled before the pooni. After it has completely dried (give it around 3-4 hours just to make sure) you take it off your head DO NOT UNWRAP IT TAKE IT OFF IN IT'S SHAPE and the next time you need to wear you can just place it on your head over your flattened joora instead of tying this. You can do this for around 5 months after you first tied it until you have to ever tie it again.
    • I tie a Punjabi style dastar with starch. Why do people hate this so much? Once when I was tying my dastar my neck seized up and the apna doctor said staying in that position daily for more than 5 mins is dangerous. He recommended a starched pagg like his dad. And I respect my pagg more than my life. I put it on the top shelf of my cupboard whenever it isn't on my head, recite Waheguruji da naam whenever I am tying my joora, fifty and when i place the Dastar on my head and I mata thek and kiss  it before I do. And when I do tie it (every 4 months when the starch starts to weaken) I make sure that I pooni and tie it with much love and whilst reciting paath. I get that if someone treats their turban like a hat (eg: throwing it on the floor, cramping it or just disrespecting it) then this is unacceptable but just cos one puts their pagg on their head rather than tying it each time doesn't mean they treat it as such. (and let's be honest, starched or not we've all put our dad's pagg on our head like a hat when we were kids as a joke and meant no disrespect. Intention is everything). Ik Singhs who get angry tying their pagg and start doing maa/phen di gaaliyan, and when they take it off they just throw to the side and wait to tie it again next time. (Also, I'm from a Jat Sikh family so pls don't try to make this about "starched paggs are tarkhan/caste based" or anything stupid like that). PS: I do remember that stupidness in the 90s/early 2000s UK when Sikh men used to have a tiny starched paggs and were completely clean shaven or had a little goatee like Herbie Sahara/ Vijay from achanak. Now THAT was stupid and deserves all the hate but I just mean the concept of a starched dastar whether it's Punjabi Style, Kenyan style or whatever
    • Anyone know how to tie this turban? My Nani's dad tied it, it was starched but i can't work out whether the pooni was kenyan orpunjabi (like folded or an actual pooni). This was very common before partition, and uses a single dastar (not double stitched). Is it js Kenyan pagg with a higher larr?
    • It doesn't matter. What the nihangs did 100 years ago has no relevance today. Because people fight differently now. As a karate black belt, 90% of what we learn is useless, cos it revolves around how people fought 100 years ago. Today, most teenage boys likely to cause fights (at least in the uk) do boxing. But when boxing was really popular, people used to throw punches, hence why the "man to man fist fight" image was there. But now that UFC is popular, people do all sorts like grappling, knees and all (even with no training).  And also, I highly doubt anyone ever attacked a nihang Singh unarmed back then, just by seeing their saroop with shastaraan. What they did do, however, was Loh Mushti but that was more of a sport than a combat system. They definitely would have trained in basic fighting like wrestling and strikes but not a system. Because any good fighter knows that trying to find a "code" to fight by is stupid. But in terms of unarmed fighting, it was rare and probably revolved around disarming an armed attacker (do NOT even attemp to learn that, you will get killed and there's no point even trying to learn).   If you're interested for historical/ preservation purposed then great, but if you want to learn it for self defense or fighting tactics then pls don't, because what worked then won't work now and Nihangs were probably quite limited in hand to hand combat training cos they're armed to the teeth, deterring any unarmed attacker and killing one if they tried to fight
