For a long time I have always had this pull towards Akaal Ustat. Ive been listening to it for some time now, and i was reading up on it on the infamous sarbloh.info page and i came across some interesting questions that comes up in Akal Ustat. I always come across this when Im going through the translation, but I have never really given it much thought. So I open up the floor to all the scholars here to give their 2 cents on each question here.

ps. would love to hear from tSingh, shaheediyan, chatanga, N30 and others.

BALLE SONIYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

relax singho its not a formal forum, slang is allowed.

i wonder how often this occurs with Sikhs in the West, i havnt heard of any cases, if so, they are few, thefore its more of a punjabi thing then sikh thing, eh?

well tSingh, the nihal jathedar was coincidently the very Baba Nihal Singh Ji.

Recent times have shown a lot of change in Nihung Marayda, which I am sure you are aware of. You are more familiar in the Nirmala Sampardiya, so what if/any changes have occured recently in terms of practise? You said i think for Nirmalay or Udasis, it really depends on the Mahant running the dera, so that would mean a lot of different changes wouldn't it over time?

So lets talk in terms of someone coming into Sikhi, like myself. One must evaluate or try to come to terms what Maharaj wants them to do, to either focus on the martial side (rajoguni) or the tamoguni side.

I remember one singh was telling me about a Nihung Baba who is now a Jathedar of a Dal, which im not sure if i should name or not... but When Baba ji was of a young age he was a sevadhar for a Sant Mahapursh, I think maybe he had roots with the Nirmala sampardiya. He was a sevadhar for this Sant and really didn't care about Nihungs or anything about them. This singh asked the Nihung Baba why he became a Nihung, and he said the Sant he was doing seva for sent him to the Dal. The Sant took him and said, your seva is here, not with me. From then he remained with Budha Dal, and is still carrying on seva today. So this shows that this Nihung Baba was guided by a Sant to show him where his seva was needed.

How does one find where his seva is needed? How did you tSingh understand your place was with the Nirmala Sampardiya?

Nowadays there really isn't a Dharam Yudh you can just jump into, and although there is a need for 'protectors' which the Nihungs should be (and arnt really doing it that well) do you think they have gone 'extinct' ?
