What Is Sarbat Khalsa And How Is It Possible To Appoint New Jathedars

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.

    • 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.
