Why No Harsh Law In Punjab Against People Who Do Beadbi?


Recommended Posts

I totally agree that having a strict law against beadbi of our scriptures and religious culture will prevents cheap thugs like dhundi and company. Will this ever happen in india (law to protect sikhi dharam)? NEVER

If somebody burns a Gutka Sahib, or defiles a Saroop of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, or otherwise perpetrates some offensive action against our Dharam, then they should be punished.

But you can't crack down on someone for saying anything. Waheguru, Sikhs are thin-skinned these days. If your faith in Guru Sahib has any vigor or firmness, it shouldn't be shaken by a few nasty comments. Do you think Guru Sahib is quaking with indignation when somebody criticises them, and needs us, pitiful worms that we are in comparison to their radiance, to defend them?

As for the idea of instituting 'harsh laws' against such people, one can only lament the fact that Sikhs are beginning to behave more and more like Islamic fundamentalists.

The simple reason is that India funds anti-Sikh organizations like BJP and RSS, Punjab is trapped within India, and Pakistan Punjab is trapped in Islamic extremist land: Osama Bin Laden was caught in Pakistan.

Balkaar,

Not everyone are strong enough who can digust vulgur name calling against guru sahibs bani and our panthic traditions. People like kala afghana publicily saying that amrit cant even revive a small rat far away doing anything else.

Laws should be made to keep peace in public and that is the point of having strict laws against those who instigate voilence inside gurughars (missionary tola).

Waheguru

Sorry everyone for not being clear what i met was a harsh law against those people who burn Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, like whats been happening recently.

I think a petition will certainly bring awerness. My english is not too good. Can someone please write a write up on why we want the punjab government to adapt a much harsher law, so we can spread awerness. waheguru

He said that?!

Sometimes you have to wonder what such people are doing concerning themselves with religious issues. Everyone's entitled an opinion, of course, but with some people you get the impression they want to pry people away from the path, and they actually revel in such mischief. Strange times.

Why don't you kill a rat then and try reviving it with amrit? Or get some mahapursh you follow to do it.

All this anger for what? What did you accomplish by placing doubt on Amrit? The idea is to arise from the current state of mind into the Guru's wisdom. The Guru has never used Amrit as some magical potion and never will in the form of Punj Pyare. The event of 1699 is no show of magic or a miracle. To a blind man the idea of sight is a miracle. Kala afghana has been proven wrong in this very century. Gurbani/Shabad Guru/ Guru Sahib gave a blind man the ability to see. Can he explain this for us or use science? He can't and neither can science. Those who come with knowing little about Guru Sahib will call it a miracle or won't believe it is possible. Yet it is only a perspective and not reality. The reality is held by those who are able to understand the ability of Guru Sahib and why he expresses this ability from time to time that some call miracles or don't believe. To a man who is mostly driven by tamas, the day he gets out of bed early is a miracle. Same goes for a man beat down by addiction. It is not a matter of, if the Guru can revive a rat with Amrit, but why???? The Bani of Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji criticizes Krishna for showing off the ability to put a nose ring in a king cobra's nose, who no one else could do. Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji Maharaj ask Krishna, what has he accomplished by such act? Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji says, Akal Purakh created all and Akal Purakh is in control of creation. Giving us the indication the ability of doing anything is not to be measured by relativity as Akal Purakh is able to do anything. Kala Afghana has taken his own abilities and what science describes as possible by humans or nature and placed it as the benchmark to measure any other action or act in this world. Anything that has taken place in this world, which does not meet his benchmark is classified as of not taking place or is fictitious. Anyone who is a Sikh as defined by Gurbani will say this is absurd. Hence we have many people calling Kala Afghana a complete mor*n. His reasoning is all wrong and I really don't believe he reads Gurbani. What Kala Afghana and supporters want is for some Gurmukh to demonstrate some higher ability, which a normal human cannot do and science says is impossible. No Gurmukh will do this for anyone because they believe in Akal Purakh's ability to do anything. There small act will not solve anything and will provide nothing that Gurbani has already given us. If your whole religious belief is based on whether someone can perform these acts. Then simply type in Buddhist monk self immolation into youtube and watch a Buddhist monk demonstrate the ability which science says can't happen and is above human ability. The Guru-mat is not here to give the unbeliever magic shows. The Guru-mat is here to quiet the mind by telling us what is and giving the ability to experience Gurbani.

The question is simple. Why do you want Punj Pyare to revive a dead rat? The answer is simple because your ego can't handle what is beyond your ability to understand. How do I bring it in my grasp? Bow at the Gurus feet by saying I know nothing, I am nothing and I am here to learn through Gurbani. The tongue will rewrite the blueprint of the mind through Gurbani.

    • WJKK WJKF Sangat Ji, I bought a brand new medium Artisan Kirpan (8.7 inches) from https://thekhalsaraj.com/products/black-g10-ultra-durable-kirpans 2 months ago, and it is in unused condition. I bought it 2 months ago and it is in unused condition, with everything that came with it still fully sealed. I even paid extra to get it ੴ ਸਤਿ ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ  laser engraved on the blade. This cost me £370 including shipping from the USA. It is in brand new condition, but I no longer need it since I have been gifted a new Buddha Dal-made Pesh Kabz for free. I am selling it for £250 even though it is in brand new condition - it is a first-hand Kirpan. From the official website, it costs £370. The handle is indestructable G10 fiberglass, wielded to a razor sharp blade (edge and tip) which is engraved with the custom Gurbani. Please reply if any Singh/Kaur here would like to buy it - it's 100% first hand but £120 reduced price. Includes a an embroidered padded case for airport travel, a blank certificate of ownership, maintenance brochure and a beautifully decorated black/grey adjustable Gatra.   I sent this advert out to a few places, and also asked some retailers if they'd like it, so it may go soon. Please do reply if anybody is interested, more than happy to answer questions too! (Note: the pic is from Google but is exactly what the Kirpan and Gatra both look like - the one I have is still in the packaging).

    • WJKK WJKF! How long will this forum remain online for in a readable & accessible state? It appears susceptible to shut-down. It would be a shame if all the forum's content from over the decades is lost in such an event due to servers hosting this forum shutting-down. This forum, whilst not currently active, remains an important repository of the Sikh religion online. It also is a fundamental aspect of Sikh cyber culture that existed from the early Internet period from the 2000's to 2010's before the domination by big social-media sites that consolidated the community. Thus, have the web-masters of this forum considered archiving this forum's contents before it is lost forever? I can assist you in this by saving the content to the Internet Archive on your behalf. Please let me know your thoughts about such an endeavour and I hope you may consider the possibility of archiving the forum for posterity. Future generations of Sikhs and Sikh researchers will be grateful. Kind regards, Theth Panjabi (you can find me on IG at theth.panjabi and on X/Twitter at ThethPanjabi)
    • Video on the tale, gurdwara, and manuscript: link As the story goes, during the Vadda Ghallughara genocide against the Sikhs perpetrated by the Afghan Durrani Empire on 5–6 February 1762, not only were Sikh lives lost, but our original Damdami Sahib Bir recension was also lost in that carnage. However, over the years I have spent researching our history, many claimed it was taken back to Afghanistan by Ahmad Shah Abdali's troops as loot whilst others said it was secretly hidden somewhere by the Singhs for safe-keeping. As of today, it remains untraceable and I presume it is gone for good. However, I came across a couple of articles stating that there were actually around five master-copies of the original Damdami Bir, with one of these copies being safeguarded by the jatha of Bhai Sudha Singh of the Shaheedan Misl. "It is said that the tenth Sikh master Guru Gobind Singh had got five birs written at Damdama Sahib. The bani (writings) of the ninth Sikh master Guru Tegh Bahadur were incorporated in these birs. These five birs were given to different jathas (groups) of Sikhs by Guru Gobind Singh to be safely installed. One bir was being taken by Sudha Singh who was leading a jatha of 19 Sikhs, when Abdali'[s] forces stormed Kup-Rohira and killed thousands of Sikhs. Though all 19 Sikhs were massacred by Abdali, Sudha Singh somehow brought the bir to Kuthala. Since then it has been kept at village gurdwara." (Times of India, 2012) The gurdwara today [Gurdwara Shaheed Baba Sudha Singh Ji in Kuthala] has a certain historical manuscript that they claim is one of the five master-copies of the Damdama recension. You can see close-up shots of the bir in the video posted. I will also share close-up images of its folios in the comment section. I will also provide a faithful English translation of the video's narration so non-Punjabi speakers may benefit from this post. I will leave the question on whether this bir is authentic or not to your judgement but I will provide my own analysis below.   English translation of the video's narration: The Guru-form Guru Khalsa Holy Congregation (Sadh Sangat) Ji, Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh. The Gurdwara Sahib that the congregation is currently beholding is situated in Village Kuthala, near Malerkotla, in the Sangrur district of Punjab. A very great treasure is preserved within this Gurdwara Sahib. The history of this Gurdwara Sahib is very closely related to the Vada Ghalughara (The Great Holocaust) that took place in February 1762. Baba Sudha Singh Ji, the third head of the Shaheedi Misl, arrived at this location considering it a safe place. He brought with him that sacred holy scripture (Saroop) which the Tenth Father, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, had personally dictated to Bhai Mani Singh Ji on the holy land of Damdama Sahib. Upon arriving, he personally performed the last rites (cremation) of 19 martyred Sikhs at this site. As he prepared to leave to take command of the Jatha (the Sikh contingent), the sacred holy scripture he had brought was enshrined at this very location. At that time, this place was known as Dera Jaga Sidh, but nowadays, a very beautiful building stands here in the name of Gurdwara Sahib Shaheedi. The sacred holy scriptures that were enshrined at that time are today ceremoniously displayed (Prakashwan) with great respect every Channi Dashmi (the tenth day of the bright lunar fortnight) for the congregation to behold. Devotees from within the country and abroad arrive to catch a glimpse of these sacred scriptures and receive the Guru's blessings. Every year, an annual Gurmat Samagam (religious congregation) is held for five consecutive days in memory of the martyrs of the Great Holocaust, concluding on Magh Sudi Dashmi. Furthermore, a book containing the full detailed history—titled after Shaheed Baba Sudha Singh Ji and the Hand-written Holy Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji—was released in February 2013 by the managing volunteers based on historical research. It was released by the 14th head of the Shaheedi Misl, Singh Sahib Baba Makhan Singh Ji (the current head of Baba Bakala Sahib), the Meet Jathedar Singh Ji, and Sant Gurdev Singh Ji of Anandpur Sahib (the current head). The congregation can obtain spiritual benefit by reading it. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.   My analysis: In my humble opinion (which may be incorrect), this bir is not a master-copy of the Damdami Bir. It more closely resembles the highly-decorated birs of the Kashmiri-style that were created during the reign of the Sikh Empire in the first half of the 19th century. We can see this bir has highly illuminated and illustrated angs (folios), which took the great skill of a master artisan to make, which required resources to pay and patronize. Usually, the manuscripts during the Sikh Empire were the most elaborately decorated, as this was when the Sikhs were at a high-point, masters of the land, possessing vast amounts of resources that they could use to fund such endeavors. Therefore, whilst the story may be true and a master-copy of the Damdami Bir recension may have once been at this location, I am not convinced that this particular manuscript is it. I may be mistaken and I am open to constructive criticism. 1633648456_GurdwaraHistory.mp4
