Namdharis Coming Back Into Panth

I'm not saying that Naamdharis don't get along with others. I'm saying Raj Academy doesn't get along with others and that they are overflowing with ego.

If I recall correctly Prof. Surinder Singh has many problems with others and many people have problems with him.

Many people within Gurmat Sangeet just look down on others...and they look down on other people within Gurmat Sangeet as well.

It's a very complicated story. If you search around on the internet/forums/videos, you will see information regarding this.

I personally have major respect for Prof. Surinder Singh and Raj Academy....but the information out there cannot be denied either. I keep an open mind on things like this.

To begin with he's a self proclaimed Prof. but that's a whole different topic :biggrin2:

Do naamdharis believe that Guru Gobind Singh ji didn't leave for sachkhand, and that he escaped the cremation at Hazur Sahib and nominated another guru! ?    And another guru of theirs escaped to Europe and he's been living there for centuries! ?    do naamdharis believe this or is that another sect?

 

Anyone know more about the Sindhi Hindus? I think a lot of Sindhi Hindus were Nanakpanthis and within the fold of Sikhi, but then they all merged into mainstream Hinduism. Was watching a cooking show on one of the Asian channels and a Sindhi Hindu lady came on and she made some Sindhi food. She also made what she called kra prashad, which obviously wasn't actual prashad, and she mentioned that its a part of Sikhi but is also a part of Hindu Sindhi culture because of the influence. 

 

Because of the persecution some Sindhi Hindus in Pakistan are becoming Sikhs, they say as Sikhs their situation is better in Pakistan, they then face less discrimination. It was on the BBC.

Naamdharis emerged just because of that. However, they came about way later (I think about during the British Raaj or the end years of the Sikh Raaj). Basically, what you have mentioned is correct. They have the audacity to say Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj hid from his Sikhs and lived well up into his 100s, going under the name of Baba Ajpal Singh. They believe that Baba Ajpal Singh gave Guruship to their leader.

    • 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.
