Sat Sri Akal:

History records that Guru Sahib did stop at Damdama Sahib. There, he requested that his Sikhs go and bring the Adi Granth Sahib Ji from Dhirmal so that the Sampooran Adi Granth Sahib could be compiled (including the Bani of the Ninth Master). Dhirmal refused and taunted Guru Sahib, saying that if he is indeed the same Light as the previous Gurus, he should be able to compile the Guru Granth Sahib from memory. Guru Sahib accepted and excelled at the challenge by dictating the entire Guru Granth Sahib to the Sikhs.

Guru Sahib would dictate in the morning to Bhai Mani Singh Ji and would explain Gurbani and its meaning to the Sikhs in the evening. The compilation (and the subsequent Katha on Gurbani in the evenings) concluded after 9 months. This made Damdama Sahib a place of learning, with the nickname "Guru Ki Kashi" (Kashi being a very highly regarded Hindu learning center where the foundations of Vedantic traditions were extolled to the attendees). This WAS the start of the Damdami Taksal. That Gurudwara was a learning center of Gurmat and Gurbani from then on. Tracking lineages and trying to figure out whether one succeeding Jathedar was directly linked to the next is absolutely useless. Guru Sahib established concepts and ideals...not lineages and appointments of Jathedars.

Therefore, the Damdami Taksal embodies the concept of that Taksal that Guru Sahib started. It would be similar to me saying that the Panj Pyare should be descendents of the origional Panj Pyare to maintain the authenticity of the Panj Pyare institution. The concept and the ideals of the individuals and the organization must be held in the highest regard at all times...never lin

eage.

Bhul Chuk Maaf.

the arguments that sundar singh started the Dt are far more convincing.

so your saying that this, how taksal was started, is just all made up, and that all the jathedars between sri guru gobind singh ji and baba sunder singh ji are just made up???? grin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gif

      Concept of Sin

      By BhForce · Posted

      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

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      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.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      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!!

      Is suraj parkash right? is it a reliable source of info?

      By BhForce · Posted

      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.
