Do Nirmale Sants have an influence on Taksali leaders?

The Nirmale are a very old sect that was apparently started when a few sikhs were sent to Kanshi to learn Sanskrit from Brahmins under Guru Gobind Singh Ji's instruction. As a result, these Sikhs came back full of knowledge about Sanskrit but had been influenced by Brahminism as well. Thus this group twisted sikhi with a Vedantic view and claimed things like Guru Nanak Dev ji was an avtar of Vishnu and stuff. This sect has also had very close relations to Damdami Taksal. In the past, Nirmale Mahants/sants have had Taksali sants as their students and thus I think it is reasonable to assume that the Nirmales had an influence on the teachings that the Taksal subsequently taught. When listening to some Taksali prachar, I've heard things like the 5 pyare were not random, they were devte/bhagats that reincarnated. So basically saying that instead of being normal everyday people who courageously and wholeheartedly chose to become a part of Sikhi and Sikh tradition, they were preplanning to stand up in the crowd on Vaisakhi since their birth. Things like this make me question this prachar and think maybe Nirmale have a hand in combining Gurmat with Brahmanism in these jathebandis. Anyone else agree/disagree?

while i DO think the Panj Piyaare were Pre-Planned by Guru Sahib, But i dont agree they were Reincarnation of Bhagats, Its just saying that the sikhs at that time were not worthy enough to be Panj Piyaare... 

and yes DDT is influenced by every Anti-Sikh party

Had you actually listened to katha of Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji done by Jathedar Sant Baba Gurbachan Singh ji of Damdami Taksal you would have noticed how Sant ji explains how some Nirmale will twist Gurbani to favor what they want to teach.  But this twisting is no different than the missionaries or so called prof or bhai sahib do today from the newly ignorant side.  Take your Dr. I J Singh, dhunda, ghagga, others like these guys have twisted Gurbani to suit their way of thinking. There is more popping up as they retire from their jobs and becomes Gianis the first day they retire but have not even understood the basic teachings of Gurbani.  

Damdami Taksal has on the other hand devoted their lives for teaching Gurbani pronunciation, understanding, kirtan, and given their lives to stand up for Khalsa Panth and human rights. Children from a young age are placed in Damdami Taksal to learn about Gurbani.  They are given teachings of other scriptures as well. To write a blanketed statement about a credited organization shows the lack of understanding and hate you have toward them.

Dhumma is not Damdami Taksal, he is no different than dhunda and your ghagga's.

Punj Pyare were not random or normal everyday people who courageously and wholeheartedly chose to become a part of Sikhi and Sikh tradition.

In the Sikh sangat Gursikhs like Baba Deep Singh ji were sitting and listening to Sri Guru Gobind Singh ji call for heads.  To say Baba Deep Singh ji wasn't courageous enough to stand up to give his head is not understanding what happened on Vaisakhi 1699.  There were also many Gursikh women sitting in the Sikh sangat and heard the calls for heads.  But they also did not stand up like Baba Deep Singh ji.   The 5 Gursikh men who stood up were meant to stand up and no one else.  Nothing in this world is random.  Read Japji Sahib with careful attention and it will come clear how everything is under the hukam of Akal Purakh. 

In addition to this,

Just look at the names of the Panj Pyare. The perfectly link with our nare (slogans)/worldy missions and show us how we will achieve.

Bhai Daya Singh ji and Bhai Dharam Singh ji. Daya is compassion and through compassion righteousness (Dharam) is born. This shows us that when we are blessed enough to have Daya inside of us we bring righteousness in the world. What is this righteousness though? It is spreading Guru's word, fighting against oppressors and helping those less fortunate than us. Degh Tegh Fateh, our first mission.

But during this process of us helping others out people will step in and see that we achieving Sarbat Da Bhala and will try their hardest to stop it. These tyrants will try and stop the Khalsa. But we need to me courageous and brave (Courage - Himmat, Bhai Himmat Singh ji) to follow Guru Sahib in the dark times of Kaljug and also determined (Determination - Mokham, Bhai Mokham Singh ji) and then we will be able to get Panth kee jeet.

And with this we will be able to be Sahib, masters/rulers, Bhai Sahib Singh ji and as a result Raj Karega Khalsa.

I heard this on a Katha and it was beautiful explanation of the names of the blessed Panj Pyare and how there names are so significant. Maharaj chose these blessed souls to show us the way, through the Guru Sahib.

You can see that they were special. How much kamai they must have had to be able to be the first 5 to give their head in 1699 on Vaisakhi.

Giani Sunder Singh founded Jatha Bhindran in the 20th century (now known since 1977 as DDT) was known as ‘Sri Maan 108 Giani Sunder Singh Nirmala’.

Giani Sunder Singh was the student of Pandit Jawala Das Udasi.

Thanks for pointing that out, I didn't know that. I will listen to Baba ji's katha. Would you happen to have any specific links? And no hate towards any particular jathebandi brother. My local gurdwara is a DDT gurdwara. I did santhiya and learned kirtan there as a kid just like you have mentioned, so I'm forever grateful that Guru ji gave me the understanding and opportunity to learn Gurbani from great teachers. Nevertheless, I don't have allegiance to any specific jathebandi and just had a question on the parchar as I was hearing a lot of different points of views from all these different pracharaks. But thank you for explaining your perspective.

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
