  1. after that waheguruseeker satrted like this

    As your claim will be proved false and full of lies, I would expect you to apologise to all in this forum and in Sikh Sangat forum and other forums where you have spread the lies about SPN and at the Freemont Gurdwara, El Sobrante Gurdwara and San Jose Gurdwara this Sunday in front of the whole Sangat. I can have this arranged for you through the Gurdwara Commitees.

    Tejwant ji

    I live in that area and know these committees much better than you know them. I am in touch with them especially Chairman of san Jose committe for the last 29 years.So no need for any

    recommendation from you. Why do not you come over here and we can visit these Gurudwaras jointly. But anyway it does not pertain to this thread.

    Let us focus on Dasam granth taht you have been calling as Hindu Granth .It is good time to remove our misgivings.

    The ball is in your court and it is your duty to prove it. You can start a new thread to prove why you have spread lies about SPN on Sikh forums and I am serious about the 3 Gurdwara committees in your area
    .

    Tejwant singh ji

    I know you from other forums as well. You have come recently to SPN.Why do not you start a thread and i will condense your posts that shows your ideology about Dasam granth and terming me Hindu for defending this scripture. You have done it here many times. But let us deal with this thread first as it may help in removing your misgivings.

    You come over here and i will go with you to these Gurudwaras myself. i will also carry with me a dossier of your insults about Dasam granth . INcidentally these committees have not an iota of doubt in their mind about the authenticity of Dasam Granth ji.One of the founder of the Gurdwara you mentioned has prakash of Dasam Granth beer in his home. They will be able to know your views.

    Please let me when you are coming after fixing your travel plans.

    It is funny that you bring Dal Singh into the picture to authenticate that handwriting belongs to Guru Gobind Singh. That makes no sense. It only proves that you are speculating and creating falsehood on purpose without any SOLID proof.

    Tejwant ji

    Dal singh seems to have raed Sikh history quite well. As you have not seen any Hukmanama of sahib Guru gobind singh ji, you do not know Guru sahib's handwriting. He is saying what he has seen.

    The manuscripts we are talking has signature of Guru sahib also. What other solid proof you want.Why do not you go for otehr parameter like internal evidence of Sri dasam Granth

    Sahib.

    Gurbani says what to argue with someone who himself puts a question and himself answers.

    My request again, let us not turn this thread inpolemics. Ask me if you have doubts on sri Dasm Granth sahib and i will try to answer to my limited ability.

    First of all, you do not need my presence to apologise for your lies. But I have arranged the camera crews for all the 3 Gurdwaras when you go in front of the Sangat to apologise that you as a Sikh has been lying on the net about SPN and spreading falsehood about what is being said here.

    Your bpresence will enhance the occasion and they will be able to know you. I will pay your ticket even.

    Do not spoil the thread. talk about Dasam granths sahib. What are your reasons for calling Dasam Granth a Hindu scripture. Give us reference here.

    All we want is for you to show the posts from this forum which slander Dasam Granth as you have accused the SPN of doing.

    It is time to seek the TRUTH now.

    It is time to remove your misgivings about Dasam granth sahib. Please let us know what is internal evidence that makes you to say that it is hindu scripture.

  2. This is how debate started there

    My reply to Dal singh

    That last image is intriguing. The text on the left folio does indeed resemble what I have been told was dasmesh pita's handwriting in a hukum nama. It is shame a higher quality image could not be found. When I enlarged it to 200 percent it became heavily pixelated.

    Reply by Inder singh( singh2)

    You have to see the background of Sikh struggles. How Guru ji had to leave Anandpur, Scriptures falling into the hands of Muslims and lot of literature swept away by inflated Sirsa.Please take these factors into account before commenting.

    Need to remember that there were scribes employed by guru ji for compilation of Dasam Granth. His hand written pages are there but not all was not written in his hand. His hand written pages are known as khas patras. Corrections in his hand writing are all over the manuscript.

    Also original beer called Hazuri beer is held by a private house. What we are seeing is digitized copy. Very few people have seen this beer.

    then comes waheguruseeker

    What exactly are you trying to prove here? The handwriting is of Guru Gobind Singh ji? Compared to what?

    So, I urge you not to speculate in the name of Guru Gobind Singh ji which is nothing but disrespect to our beloved Guru.

    Tejwant Singh

    Tejwant ji

    It is not speculation. it is a reality. Is Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji written by Guru sahib. There was scribe for that.

    Here also scribes were there. additionally we have hand written pages of Guru sahib also. His hand writing is recognizable. he has also done corrections on many pages.

    I had invited you to ahve a look on this. You turned down my offer.

    Re: Dasam Granth and its History >>

    My question still remains unanswered. How do you know it is Guru Gobind Singh ji's handwriting? Compared to what?

    Your question was answered but it was not posted on the message board. I do not know why it was withheld.

    There is a post of Dal singh that says as below

    The text on the left folio does indeed resemble what I have been told was dasmesh pita's handwriting in a hukum nama.

    It is good that there is somebody who has seen handwriting of Guru Sahib in his Hukamnama and has testified to that. You should believe him if not me.

    Thanks for the invitation but that would not prove anything. As I said before, it is our duty as Sikhs to seek the truth not to invent it by speculation which becomes a big lie.

    If you do not want to believe what Sikhs have on dasam granth,That is your prerogative.Shoew me the refrence from Sikh history where a doubt was cast on Dasam Granth before

    Teja singh Bhasaur. That should seal this issue.

    Secondly, please show me in this forum about another falsehood that you have created in another forum called Sikh Sangat. Following is your false claim:

    You should read your posts carefully to know who is creating falsehood.I can post those references if you desire. Start a different thread.Do not bring those issues in this thread as such digressions lead to polemics and hence result in spoiling the thread.

    I had the impression that discussion is on dasam Granth. Let us focus on that. Any other query on the topic is welcome.

    Then mentor waheguruseeker had no question.

  3. Slander and nindya is all you know.

    That is all you have to spend in your purse.

    You get defeated in multiple debate and when people question your sources you revert to slander on other forums.

    Inder Singh if you think I'm a monkey that's fine.

    Your buddies slander bani of our Guru. You remain there listening to venom of waheguruseeker.

    do you debate there. there is no debate. Iwas called for debate but all i listened was like a court case where

    personal slander was involved.

    That's your view, and you are entitled to it, but when you lose debates you don't go crying to other people do you. I thought the Sikh way was to stand up for yourself.

    I myself asked you a million times to debate the issues and not the person. Provide sources to back up your arguments. You couldn't and wouldn't and now you are slithering from forum to forum. That is really sad.

    all your buddies do there is to promote kala afghan ideology. You call it debate. What a sham you have created there.

    She is a better Sikh than you.

    So a bob cut who resorts to frequent lies is a sikh.That is the type of sikhi you want to bring it in now.

    Your kala afgana agenda is bared.

  4. the fact is that the reason you peopl are so threatened by 'Kala Afghanist' is because like you lot they view religion as purely conceptual entity. you are worried that your concepts will be unsurped by theirs. you people are fixated on institutions, ideas, interpetations etc.

    Religion is a book of science. Purpose of religion is to get rid of cycle of rebirths and death by meditating on God.

    So the experience fo those who ahve realized God serves as a way of laerning for the aspirant.

    WhaT kala has to prove by his non-believer theory? Please enlighten us.

    e.g. what consequence is it to someones worship if they believe in reincarnation or not?

    A stupid question from an agnostic. A sikh does not worship to get salvation. A sikh meditates for love of God.

  5. The monkeys were having a nice tea party, then one of them threw something at the other. Before you knew it they were hurling faeces at one another. Get the picture!

    Infact I might leave.

    Never thought I would see the day this forum would turn into sikhsangat 2. Its a real shame. :blink:

    randeep

    You should have some civic sense. In fact you are proving to be a monkey.

    You have kala afghana sect as your mentors. Your mentor Giani writes someones article under his name.

    To suppress others view point you resort to censorship over there. it is the magnanimity of this forum that you

    have been allowed to say this.

    Antonia , adm of SPN,is touted as a sikh by a moderator and she is a bob cut american. This is the sikhi you are

    bringing claimto promote.

    For you guys

    Sharam dharm doen chhip khaloye

    Koor phire pardhan ve lalo

    Who is monkey? You are the monkey.

  6. Vijaydeep Singh had some great pro dasam bani arguments on there. Regularly (and easily) defeated the nonsense from the anti Gurbani lobby. I recommend reading his old threads as he is very learned on the subject.

    They delete his posts. Giani has virtually taken over that site with the help of one adminitrator anthonia.

    Amn singh took some action yesterday and warned khalsa fauj.

    It seems a lot is going on without aman singh's knowledge.

  7. Very true Singh2. These Kala Afghanists mostly are lions on the internet only. In real life, they have little support amongst the mass public. But that is not to say that is the way it will remain forever. These people are fast increasing their support, in particularly in North America. In Canada, they have a man named Samagh who has a show on Vishion TV who openly supports their views who brings Ghagha, Darshan Singh, Kala Afghana who ridicule Dasam Granth and Sikhi Sidhaant. Many leading Khalistani uncles in North America whose names I do not want to say out openly on the internet are also open supporters of Kala Afghanist philosophy.

    These Kala Afghanists are extremely active. So far they don't have any Gurdwaras YET. They assemble at each other's houses to brainwash each other. Moreover, they train each other to debate. This is why they are such good debaters when talking to them face to face. They are very active on the internet. So they must be countered on the internet, because internet is the place where many young Sikhs tend to get brainwashed.

    You are dead on dot. Gurmit singh aulakh was called by a sikh organization to San francisco last year. After seminar i counterd him while standing in a queue for langar. I asked him why is he criticizing dasam granth? He did not know anything about dasam granth. he had been brainwahsed by Gurtej singh IAS.

    That is one reason i distanced myself from this group. I asked him how will you protect sikhism in khalistan when he himself was destroying it.

    Any suggestion to counter it. I was part of a group in organizing a seminar on dasam granth in sacramento last year. i have some people who are willing to support me on this. Any suggestions are wlcome. We owe it to our guru and our future generations.

  8. I agree with your views 100 percent. to be politically correct is not a sikh way especially when oyur Guru is being slandered.

    We need to combat such forces. Had we done it earlier it would have been much better for us.

    Kala afghan cult does not have following. Their main preaching is confined to internet.

    There is an american who joined sikhism through yogi Bhajan. His name is Amar prakash singh. later he left he yogi bhajan but retained his sikh saroop.

    A few days back he wrote an article " Losing my religion." The main crux was that he will lose his saroop but will retain

    spirituality. He also made some comments on SGGS ji and a singh told that he will post these on other sites.

    Given below is the reply of adminitrator Anthonia of SPN which proves that aim of the site is commercialism and not any love for sikhi.

    http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/sikh-youth/2...kash-singh.html

    Singh ji

    Please post your critiques of SPN all over the Net and to your heart's content. Every time you or a member of your cohort attempts a smear campaign of SPN our net traffic increases by 100 percent or more (not an exaggeration) and visitors translates into members at higher rates too. It is always a pleasre.

  9. Personally, I think that a Sikh youth who stays away from internet Sikh forums will become a better Sikh. The level of hate, doubt, negativity on Sikh forums is so high that by the end of the day your spiritual level will be lower. Best thing is to just read Sikh books, go to Gurdwara, listen to Katha and do Sangat of Singhs who seek the Charan Kamal of Vaheguru.

    Compared to most forums, Sikh awareness is the probably the best, because people here are more open minded, and they don't throw wild accusations like being a part of RSS just because you may not agree with their views. As for Jarnail Singh Arshi, that guy is a Naastik Kala Afghanist. A while back he was on Tapoban forum. At first Arshi used to believe in Naam Simran, Gurmantra, reincarnation etc, but as time went on slowly his views would seem to be tilting towards Kala Afghanist philosophy. until a point when he eventually left the Tapoban forum for SPN which is basically Kala Afghanist/Ghagha forum. That man is full of hate, anger. He uses intimidation against Sikhs who do not agree with his views. Moreover, he also uses deception. He will post under multiple names just to pretend he has more people supporting him. I remember him posting under his daughter's name just to make it appear he has more support. But it was so obvious that it was him. He has a very annoying way of writing, with every other word or every 3rd word he writes in capital letters.

    As for those who says we should not discuss about SPN's kala afghana links, I ask you what will you gain by acting so politically correct? Will they give you a Gold medal for being so PC? If they are Anti Dasam Granth, Anti Sikhi Sidhaant, Anti Nam-Simran, then they should be exposed. Who cares what they think!

    I agree with your views 100 percent. to be politically correct is not a sikh way especially when oyur Guru is being slandered.

    We need to combat such forces. Had we done it earlier it would have been much better for us.

    Kala afghan cult does not have following. Their main preaching is confined to internet.

  10. singh2

    Sikhs have two gurus, Guru Granth and guru panth. guru panth is for temporal affairs of sikhs. A sikh is a saint-soldier. That is why Harmandir sahib and akal takhat. We are not comparing our Granths. both granths are equally important and are not rivals. They complement each other. Nothing change overtime. that is your concept but not of sikhs at large and akal takhat.

    theres no such 'guru panth'. seems like sikh clergy have fabricated this idea in order to seize power. Akal Takht was Guru Hargobind's throne. Much later after Guru Gobind Singh's times some Singhs used to convene there to have democratic meetings. it seems peopel are confusing this as meaning 'guru panth'.

    The Akal Takht as used in the modern sense seems fabricated. These people of SGPC sitting there thinking they can issue hukamnamas to the panth are deluded. SGPC are an administrative body, Akal Takt is not theres to sit on.

    Infact all 5 takhts are a modern fabrication. They are not a Guru tradition.

    Im tired of 'Institutional sikhi' being forced onto all of panth.

    While departing Guru gobind singh said

    Pooja akal ki

    Parcha shabad ka

    Didar Khalse ka

    Institution of Panj piaras represent Guru Panth. You may not believe it. it is upto you. That is what rehatnama

    of Bhai Prehlad singh says.

  11. are you guys talking about the same giani jarnail singh person who is also known an arshi jarnail singh on tapoban long time ago? I remember tapoban sevadars provided him with the cozy spot on their forum and provided him with platform to spew gand against sants of the panth ie- baba nand singh ji , baba isher singh ji and many others?

    He is the same person. A super class idiot , an atheist and anti dasam granth person.

  12. What happened with the Dasam Granth Discusion there was purely a game on the mentors side. The mento had no knowledge and was just questioning every little detail. Which a 7 year old can do; just keep asking why, and when, not hard. Eventually the mentor ran out of why's and what's so he started the personal attacks but in a discrete way, which is really obvious, but admins allow it because its their 'praise worthy' mentor . As soon as just a member attacks back, the admin steps in to warn and threaten the member it's not allowed. Then the member usually says the other started, but the admin will make some outrages and side step the facts. This is the strategy they use. They purposely push a person buttons and try to discredits the person as much as possible. Then eventually one of there associate will come along and say how can we believe you. Everythign is said and done, they dust off their hands and wait for the next member that doesn't agree with them and they start their attack allover again. It's only a game to SPN founders and mentors and they get a kick out of it.

    None of those guys (founders and mentors) can be trusted. Well that's my opinion I wrote there as Singh. At the end a mod was just deleting my post because he just didn't like me and hates Sant Jarnail Singh Khalsa with passion. Also i don't know why they keep saying i was kicked off the site when i just left on my own. OOO well just another fluff story SPN can drink some tea over.

    you are right. i was alone. I caught them many times on wrong footing. They were deleting my replies. Then i caught them stealing someone's article and putting undder Giani Jarnail singh's name. Giani cann't write such articles. That article was written by anthonia for him.

    Also the subject thread is Amrit vela and see what reasoning so called mentor isdoing.

    Now, I personally like the latter, but the prevailing meaning is the prior one...

    I searched for "Amrit Vela" in Guru Granth Sahib, and found only 3 shabads (please correct if I am wrong):

    2. Amrit Velae Vatay Har Bhagti, Har Liv Laayi (Pg 734) <PAGE 734 - Punjabi Translation of Siri Guru Granth Sahib (Sri Guru Granth Darpan).> Here, in the meanings, he meant "the ealry time of spiritual life"

    3. Babiha Amrit Velae boleya <PAGE 1285 - Punjabi Translation of Siri Guru Granth Sahib (Sri Guru Granth Darpan).> Here Prof Sahib means the dawn, but I know that BrainFever bird or Babiha, shrieks all day and night before monsoon.

    Could this mean the dawn of the life, instead of usual day's dawn??

    Since, I am trying to look at every angle and then finding the Truth, so that it cannot be shaken from any angle, let us go in Science now...

  13. Good info although I don't agree with your definition of Khulasah.

    I'm off now but again I make a plea to all. Debate rationally and respectfully between yourselves on such matters. Learn to accomodate difference, that is where our unity lies.

    WJKK

    WJKF

    What is khulash?

    Dal singh ji, let us not try to justify our weaknesses to follow sikh rehat for belittling our religious scriptures. That has become a fashion these days. That is what mntors of SPN are preaching to sikh youngsters.

  14. No but sustained study over time/generations can help in developing a higher level of understanding compared to some other previous points in history.

    Academic study and spiritual study are completely different realms. Spiritual study does not need Ph Ds Guru sahib has written

    ਜੋ ਪ੍ਰਾਣੀ ਗੋਵਿੰਦੁ ਧਿਆਵੈ ॥ ਪੜਿਆ ਅਣਪੜਿਆ ਪਰਮ ਗਤਿ ਪਾਵੈ ॥੧॥:

    Jo praanee Govind dhiaavai. Parhiaa anparhiaa param gati paavai ||1||:

    That mortal who meditates on God, whether educated or uneducated, obtains the Supreme State ||1||

    (sggs 197)

    So, there we go. We have always had diversity. I notice that the nirmalas interpret Sikhi from a very vedantic view point as their education in Benares would encourage. Also udasis covering themselves in ashes and walking around half naked is hardly orthodox. Besides are you pushing nihung beliefs as the norm in Sikhi?

    They were sent for education to benares to learn language of hindu scriptures. The idea was when engaged in debate they should know Hindu scriptures. guru ji knew that Sikhs will have to enter in dialogue with Hindus to prove their view point.

    Example is debate of Giani diit singh with Swami daya nand where Daya nand was defeated.

    Niramalas were finest sikh scholars. Do not tell me that Attar singh ji Mastuana was following Vedanta. All sikhs were nihungs in the beginning. Guru gobind singh was himself a Nihung. Read your history.

    Sure but Sikhs who weren't Khalsa have always been their. At one point they were called Khulasah Sikhs or something like that. See Siques, Tigers and Thieves.

    But they were all keshadharis on the way to become khalsa.

    No one is doubting SGGS ji! That is our final scripture. Besides, I think DG is matter relating to purely temporal issues. These change over time and so must our understanding of them. Besides are you saying that all worldly knowledge is contaned in DG and that we have no need to study other material for worldly knowledge? If DG is part of our literature then let us not underplay the importanc of other literature for Sikhs also. Besides, much of the source material of DG was already in existence and had been re-constructed.

    Sikhs have two gurus, Guru Granth and guru panth. guru panth is for temporal affairs of sikhs. A sikh is a saint-soldier. That is why Harmandir sahib and akal takhat. We are not comparing our Granths. both granths are equally important and are not rivals. They complement each other. Nothing change overtime. that is your concept but not of sikhs at large and akal takhat.

    Source material of some compositions was in existence but it was changed drastically to conform to sikh thought.

    .

    Again brother. I am not in the conversion business. But the simple fact is that for the majority of orthodox Sikhs, it is the SGGS ji that is the accepted scripture that is present in a Gurdwara. DG prakash is a minority practice, mainly by nihungs.

    DG parkash ws always there. read below

    Guru-mata - Sir John Malcolm (1812 AD)

    E-mail Print PDF

    august- theodore- schoefft-ds-ranjit-singh

    Maharaja Ranjit Singh listening to the two sacred Granths being recited near Sri Harimandir Sahib.

    (A Painting by August Theodore Schoefft (1809-1888), made in Amritsar. From Princess Bamba Collection)

    Note: The following is an excerpt from a book, Sketch of the Sikhs, a singular nation in the province of Penjab,written by Sir John Malcolm* in 1812. John Malcolm’s work is one of the rarest firsthand information recorded by a western historian on the lifestyle, belief systems and traditions of the Sikhs in Punjab during the 18th century .

    Guru-mata

    When Gurmata or great national council, is called, (as it always is, or ought to be, when any imminent danger threatens the country, or any large expedition is to be undertaken) all the Sikh chiefs assemble at Amritsar. The assembly, which is called the Guru-mata, is convened by the Acalis; and when the chiefs meet upon this solemn occasion, it is concluded that all private animosities cease, and that every main sacrifices his personal feelings at the shrine of the general good; and, actuated by principles of pure patriotism, thinks of nothing but the interests of the religion, and commonwealth, to which he belongs.

    When the chiefs and principal leaders are seated, the Adi-Granth and Dasama Padshah ka Granth are placed before them. They all bend their heads before these scriptures, and exclaim, Wa! Guruji ka Khalsa! Wa! Guruji ki Fateh! A great quantity of cakes, made of wheat, butter, and sugar, are then placed before the volumes of their sacred writings, and covered with a cloth. These holy cakes, which are in commemoration of the injunction of Nanac, to eat and to give to others to eat, next receive the salutation of the assembly, who then rise, and the Acalis pray aloud, while the musicians play. The Acalis, then the prayers are finished, desire the council to be seated. They sit down, and the cakes being uncovered, are eaten of by all classes of Sikhs: those distinctions of original tribes, which are, on occasions, kept up, being on this occasion laid aside, in token of their general and complete union in one cause. The Acalis then exclaim: "Sirdars! (Chiefs) this is Guru-mata!" on which prayers are again said aloud. The chiefs, after this sit closer, and say to each other: "The sacred Granth is betwixt us, let us swear by our scripture to forget all internal disputes, and to be united." This moment of religious fervor and ardent patriotism, is taken to reconcile all animosities. They then proceed to consider the danger with whcih they are threatened, to settle the best plans for averting it, and to choose the generals who are to lead their armies against the common enemy. The first Guru-mata was assembled by Guru Govinid; and the latest was called in 1805, when the British army pursued Holkar into the Penjab.

  15. Singh2 are you Inder Singh on SS?

    Besides do you really want the position of judge and jury on the members of the quom? That is a bit hankaari mate.

    The deal with SPN is this. From my own perspective, as you grow older you realise that like it or not people have different opinions. I don't want to spend my life trying to persuade people to think like me.

    Anyone who has spent time reding Sikh history seriously will aso realise that diversity was the norm in the late 1700s panth. There were Udasis, nirmalas, nihungs, sehaj dharis etc. So this is nothing new from what I understand.

    I don't agree with your excluding attitude Singh2, I believe the panth must grow. Besides, are yu not human and prone to errors? because the way you g on brother is like you are perfect and people who hold dissenting views to your own are absolute blasphemous.

    Now people are dragging me into their own negativity. Everyone just chill. Put your arguments across calmly and in due time the best arguments will win.

    Yes i am Inder singh in the same way as you are dal singh.

    Dal singh ji, religion does not conform with time. Your history knowledge is also flawed. Udasis, Nirmalas Nihungs were there in guru ji's times also.There is no permanent category as sehajdhari in sikhism, Read Bhai Kahan singh ji's maha kosh.

    I say that our scriptures are final. No religion allows debate on authenticity of its scriptures. Then we are openinga pandora's box as human have different opinions.

    Please show me a reference form sikh history where authenticity of Dasam granth which is our accepted scritpure is challenged. i am ready to go with you if you show me one.

  16. We normally don't allow discussion of issues members might have with other forums. However, this is exceptional case as its do with specific forums allowing and given its members platform to make blunt attacks/bold attack against sri dasam granth (very essential part of khalsa panth) without any scholar discussion, also given the fact- members from both parties can be rest assured to use sikhawareness as platform to clarify their stance without any worry of censorship. We will allow this thread to continue to seek truth and clarification from both parties of allegations made on this thread.

    Ideal Singh aka Aman Singh from Sikh philosophy (admin), we invite you to give your side of the story, as other parties have shared some serious concerns and allegations towards Sikh Philosophy.

    Thanks for realizing the issues at stake. It is not a personal issue. I wrote there that you can hurl abuses on me but since your kala afghani mentors Giani and waheguruseeker are name calling Dasam granth, i will keep on confronting them even though they delete my posts.

    Waheguruseeker was here but left when his bullying tactics were not allowed. He is welcome back. Discussion should be on dasam granth and basic sikh issues Gurmantra, waheguru as Gurmantra, naam simran, amrit vela , soul, karma and reincarnation.

    Aman singh came to post on Sikh sangat and he was replied to. Below is the link

  17. If a view is posted on SPN, it is foolish to think it reflects the beliefs of the forum because those involved themselves have different views.

    Please see the heading. It is slander of Dasam Granth. There should not be any diversity on teachings of our gurus. Those who do not want to follow can walk out.

    It is not diversity but blasphemy.

  18. However, if you have a problem with any forum, it should be sorted out there - post your counter arguments without getting personal and leave it at that.

    It is not a personal probelm of anybody. That includes me. To combat anti sikh propaganda is the duty of every Sikh.

    Since they clamp censorship on opposing views,It is perfectly in order to make sangat aware of anti sikh stance being promoted there especially permission to hurl abuses on our scriptures.

  19. Fact is some people have views markedly different of sant ji than you and I might. We must live with this and reply with solid arguments. The other option is to lose equilibrium and act like a nutter. Which usually just ends up helping the other side make their point better.

    In any case, what some people consider to be a mahapursh, others consider to be a dera guru. Sant ji might be a brave Sikh warrior defender (sant sipahi) to me, but I have met many Sikhs who feel he was something else altogether (views I will not repeat). In the end, I hope SPN never takes a taleban approach and starts getting ban happy with Sikhs with differing views. There is enough of that already.

    I agree.

    Be truthful here. A number of times moderators and not forum memebers delete any post giving rferences form AKJ and Damdami taksal sources. One moderator openly says that these refrences are not allowed. Do you want proof of that? Why that. Are not these sikh organizations.

  20. they dont believe in Naam simran???

    Incidentally it is noteworthy to point out that kala afghana reject

    1) Concept of Gurmantra and waheguru as Gurmantra

    2) He also rejects Naam simran and amrit vela

    3) Says there is no soul

    4) No belief in Karma, reincarnation

    On the same line two mentors of kala afghan thought say

    Nam simran is raed SGGS ji and that is naam simran. They do not believe that nam simran starts with jap and the by Guru's grace

    it become simran and ajapa jap. They say it is Hinduism and those who believe in this are hindus.

  21. http://www.sikhsangat.com/index.php?showto...t=0&start=0

    I have observed that of lately Sikh philosophy network site is turning into a kala afghna mouthpiece. There

    are some die hard anti Dasam Bani people who have been made mentors on that site. They slander bani of Dasam granth on one pretext or the other.

    They also interpret SGGS ji in a totally different way. They write that there is no gurmantra and naam simran in sikhi. New meanings of Amrit vela are being given.Any effort to combat that is nipped in the bud.

    Does anyone has experience on that site. Please share that here.

  22. If I were you I would read Jagjit Singh's sharp rebuttal of many of Feneches theories.

    Especially that of who brought the martial spirit into Sikhism.

    Moghals knew the writings of sikh gurus and also the depth of Bhai gurdas ji.

    Who is jagjit singh. Was he the buddy of Daljit singh
