Why Are There So Much Politics In Gurdwaras

[sikhstudent99]

An ego in gurdwara politics

Guru nanak showed how ego can cause destruction yet we see it in our gurdwaras

But there our some gurdwaras with no elected party that run amazingly an attract youth an non sikhs to the gurdwara an are run by the community with no elections or job titles

Justt everyone volunteering there time for seva at the gurdwara

Ask the guys responsible for the Singh Sahba Movement why we have politics in Gurdwaras, the SGPC was created under them.

Again, the mahants under British, which pre-date SGPC, were also corrupt and basically puppets of the British.

Where there is money, power, resources, and/or land, there will be conflict. hankaar and maya are always the root of these wonderful things.

The gurudwara i go to has no committtee. Basically the guy, hes a doctor,who bought the land and built the building with his own funds, owns it. This is great cause no committees, no power struggles, and fast decisions. And everyone else acts like a sevadaar and gurudwara is really successful. Now its getting a bit difficult tho, because only this 1 family has all the power yet he seems to fear that some of the constant sevadaars might be getting to influential. So hes playing power games and sidelining some sevadaars that have run the school for years and replacing them. But still its good that there are no fights. Its a bit dictatorial but it works. I think places where there is a lot of corruption and violence and ppl getting too worked up,and ppl not respecting law, there dictatorships work the best. Like panjab, middle east, and our gurudware.
