I am sorry for being ignorant and not having much knowledge about sikh political history.

I am just wondering what Sarbat Khalsa means?

Sounds like it will be a gathering of Khalsa but who will lead it? whose decision will be final decision? How it will be possible to appoint new jathedars of all Takhts and who will approve it? What kind of problems could BADAL create ? what kind of law or rule apply in this kind of situation?

Also who will be a suitable replacement for Akal Takht Jathedar? I guess Ex Akal Takht Jathedar Bhai Ranjit Singh ji

also very curious about Jathedar of Sri Hazur Sahib?? I knw that the Jathedar of Sri Hazur Sahib id not directly involved in decision of 5 jathedars but some of his representative does take part in decision making process.

Please share your viwes/answers

As the name suggests, the Sarbat Khalsa were mass-councils where the entire Khalsa Panth gathered during times of privation. It was the Sikhs' system of government in the days of the Misls. The proposals they agreed upon, Gurmattas, became Sikh law - After Guru Granth Sahib Ji, the second-highest authority in the Sikh world is invested in the Panth, the community of believers.

Five representatives are elected from amongst the throng - they needn't be the Jathedars of the Takhats (although in the event of another Sarbat Khalsa, political intriguing will probably ensure that they will be).

The last Sarbat Khalsa was held in 1986, the first in over two centuries. The Panj Piaaray declared the establishment of Khalistan, and the independence of the Sikhs from India.

Expect to hear of a lot arrests, claims of bribery and mud slinging before diwali.

The current leaders need some heavy handed punishment from the kaum!

Hopefully the kaum / major jathe use this opportunity and show some conviction!

Truth be told I don't expect it to go ahead and if it does I suspect there will not be widespread participation... hence voiding its acceptance as a sarbat khalsa. I pray the opposite..

A Sarbat Khalsa is when some Gurmukhs come together and make decisions for the Panth. They will almost never ever be about Rehat. Ranjit Singh decided to end the Sarbat Khalsa because he was afraid that the true Sikhs would establish a real Khalsa Raj in Punjab and eventually the world. The last Sarbat Khalsa was held in 1986 and at the time the Panth not only decided freedom, but made the official Nitnem official and created the banning of the Indian-built Akal Takht. Basically the ones who are going to the next Sarbat Khalsa (the 29th) will be the first in nearly 30 years, there they'll do some Gurmukh stuff.

I will be very surprised if the sarbat Khalsa goes ahead. You can foresee Punjab police and sgpc task force out in huge numbers to prevent people going to sarbat Khalsa. Expect large scale arrests.

You will probably see widescale bribes to all of the chelas on the Badal payroll to try to create divisions and derail the gathering. Nearly every instituon is infiltrated sant samaj etc.

Maybe even a couple of fake scandals will take place between now and divali , bomb plots , shootings etc which of course the media will blame on Sikhs to distract attention and derail the sarbat Khalsa.

Also expect a media blackout.

What sgpc seems to be very good at is causing distractions and time lapses. What was agreed at the last sarbat Khalsa ? Why are SGPC and other panthic body's not doing anything to progress what was agreed.

What progress is being made on the demands of the ANANDPUR SAHIB resolution ???

Bhindranewale had already forewarned what happens when a panth is trapped in the shackles of slavery this is yet another example.

There's no Sarbat Khalsa tomorrow.

Spot on. We will see a lot of chaos in the 2-3 weeks before Diwali. I expect another announcement in a day or two, and after that everyone hits the drawing board.

?

Just that, a get together. SAD Panch Pardhani and Dal Khalsa recently united, I assume they're getting together to do some planning. Sarbat Khalsa will be on Diwali.

Wasn't Maharaja Ranjit Singh a true sikh then? Why are sikhs so proud of him then? I don't understand what you mean by 'made the official Nitnem official.' I thought Nitnem was the Banies which we did everyday without them being declared 'official' by the Panth. Doesn't the Sarbat Khalsa recognize the Akaal Takht as a Takht of the sikh Panth then? I am little bit confused now.

      Gurbani Santhiya

      By Dsinghd · Posted

      I was searching igurbani.com which gives correct pronunciation of Gurbani. I can’t remember all of it at once. I guess it relies on more practice, like more Sehaj Paths. The meaning becomes clearer. I have noticed slight variants in it. This could be because it’s written in old Punjabi.

      Veer Manpreet Singh claims we shouldn't worship Guru Granth Sahib ji

      By BhForce · Posted

      Veer Manpreet Singh, a lay preacher, claims that -Sikhs aren't supposed to worship Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We are only supposed to worship God as is written in Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We only "revere" Guru Granth Sahib ji.     He says a lot of other things in this video, some are good refutations of Hindu superstitions, but the reformers often go too far. Anyways, what he is saying about not worshipping Guru Granth Sahib ji is totally wrong. The reason is Guru Granth Sahib ji is Guru. Guru is Satguru. Satguru is God. We worship God. Therefore, we also worship Satguru (Guru Granth Sahib ji).   There are innumerable verses in Gurbani equating God and Guru. ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਡੁਬਦਾ ਲਏ ਤਰਾਇ ॥੨॥ The Guru is the Supreme Lord and the Transcendent Master. The Guru floats (saves) the drowning one. p49   ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਏਕੋ ਜਾਣੁ ॥ Know the Guru and God as One. p864   ਗੁਰ ਨਾਲਿ ਤੁਲਿ ਨ ਲਗਈ ਖੋਜਿ ਡਿਠਾ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੰਡੁ ॥ There is no one at par with the Guru. I have searched and seen the whole universe. p49 (If the Guru is the greatest in the whole universe, shouldn't we worship the Guru?)   I'd like to ask Manpreet Singh what is worship? Any reasonable definition would include obeisance, remembrance, and praise. Those are exactly the same things Gurbani says to do regarding Guru! Remembrance and obeisance: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਅਪਨਾ ਸਦ ਸਦਾ ਸਮ੍ਹਾਰੇ ॥ Ever, ever, I think of the True Guru, ਗੁਰ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਕੇਸ ਸੰਗਿ ਝਾਰੇ ॥੧॥ and the Guru's feet I brush with my head's hair. p387   Praise: ਗੁਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਆਪਿ ॥ The Guru himself is the transcendent Lord and the supreme master. ਆਠ ਪਹਰ ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰ ਜਾਪਿ ॥੪॥੧੬॥੬੭॥ Throughout the eight watches of the day, O Nanak meditate thou on the Guru. p387   In fact, Gurbani says the way to find God is to worship (puja) of Guru: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਧੋਇ ਧੋਇ ਪੂਜਹੁ ਇਨ ਬਿਧਿ ਮੇਰਾ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਲਹੁ ਰੇ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ Washing and bathing the True Guru's feet, worship thou them. In this way thou shall obtain my Lord Master. Pause. p1118   Could it be any clearer that we are to worship Guru ji?

      Bro, reciting a shorter Chaupai Sahib is hardly "anti-Dasam". It's fine to argue that the longer Chaupai is more traditional, but the short one isn't anti-Dasam. That's like claiming shorter Rehras is anti-Guru Granth Sahib ji just because there are fewer selections from Guru Granth Sahib. It might not be traditional, but it's not anti-Guru Granth Sahib. I prefer the longer versions, but let's not exaggerate. Every tradition has a slightly different Rehras version. Nanaksar vs Taksal vs Nihangs and so on. The basic template for Rehras is at the beginning of Guru Granth Sahib ji. Later, Chaupai Sahib was added and Anand Sahib always follows as the end of a process. Then some sangats added more saloks to start Rehras and others were added at the end. Some additional selections from Dasam Bani were also added, but it wasn't the same ones for every sangat. The important thing is to not hate on each other for these variations.

      Umm, so you're upset that this jatha did Chaupai the same way it's being done at Harimandar Sahib for 100 years? Shouldn't you be upset at the manager of Darbar Sahib? I'm not saying that Sikhs who are aware of certain issues shouldn't do the longer Chaupai, but there are only so many battles you can fight. Instead of calling some jatha traitors because they're doing the (for better or worse) "standard" Chauapai published by the SGPC, it would be better to change things from the central point. You can't fault the average Sikh for picking up the average Gutka and doing paath.

      It's the same here in Toronto. Alot of the gudwaras here are political orientated and get tons of funding from the government-probably want them stay hush hush with all the BS that has been happening with India.  These guys are skewing gurbani. A complaint was sent to a ragi singh a couple of days ago in regards to a hukamnama.
