It is extremely painful to write your own brother’s obituary but it is the only form of expression I have

Is it me or did it come across as Sunny putting his brother down frequently throughout the article?

considering he blocked me after I told him to leave sikhs alone to their beliefs  last year, doesn't surprise me at all, he almost suggests that Bhai Sahib's enthusiasm for sikhi was a mistake and made his first marriage fail, created unhappiness in the family...sad really.

Don't like to say anything to his family, after Bhai Jagraj Singh passing away, but I felt the same too. It's like it's an explanation in defence of himself in some places of the obtiuary. At first I thought, why is he even bringing those explanations into it. And then I thought, maybe it's me that's interpreted it wrong. But, however it's interpreted, what's written is written and I think there was no need for it, nor to bring his first marriage into it. It's like he was trying to say, "hey look at me too".  And like he was portraying Bhai Jagraj Singh wasn't as humble as he was. God knows why he had to bring aspects of his before-amritdhari life into it, which he portrayed in a negative way. That's my own opinion though, the brotherly bits were sincere, but I thought it was poorly written in places.

Learn to read between the lines

I'm very capable of reading between the lines and deconstructing text.. But there is reading btw the lines and fanciful leaps of imagination. And I think the accusations made against the writer fall in to the latter. 

I'd be happy to revise my opinion if someone demonstrates how they form those assumptions from that article

I don't think he ever had any issues with his enthusiasm but rather the approach

It comes from seeing the way the brothers have interacted over the years  on social media as well as mainstream media.

You build up quite an idea of what the dynamic is between the brothers as well as from plenty of personal life experience. 

My suspicion was that Jagraj was clearly the alpha male in their family and the more popular one who got all the girls. 

Sunny admits that in his post therefore he confirmed my suspicion. 

When you hear Jagraj speak, look how charismatic he was. Compare Sunny in his speech, no contest. It is clear that more girls would be attracted to him. 

I can imagine that there was a lot of sibling rivalry between the two. It is quite common for siblings (particular two brothers with a small age gap) to argue and fight.

With the intermarriage issue, Jagraj was blocked from Sunny's facebook page but it did not stop Sunny from going on Jagraj's page and starting an argument. Jagraj told him to stop because he was making a mockery of their family. 

You'd think that Jagraj was the elder brother because he was clearly the more mature one.

This is from my observations over the last few years.

jagraj never made any bones about his brother's choices , it doesn't go the other way this self-advertising atheist was very vocal against sikhs who were making an effort towards helping sikhi spread through sewa and parchaar. He even criticised sikhs for speaking against grooming trying to diminish the girls suffering which we came to words about on  a personal level. why is it every non-sikh thinks they have a stake in defining how sikhs should believe and be ?

I always remember on scummy hundals fb page, at the height of the sham marriage fiasco's, how he distinctively calling his own brother, jagraj, a fundamentalist...pathetic! 

best leave him to his karma , let's not carry his tokara of paap on our heads by repeating his bad actions and bad mouthing him .

    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
