No because the visas are all issued through the SGPC and no-one can just go and take control/care of any buildings there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an article or video that mentioned the names of some of the sampradays who are represented in the sgpc. It specifically mentioned the Nirmala sadhus and Nihang Singhs. Also, someone on this forum mentioned the same information. Will have to do research and find the source of this information. If someone have more information on this please share.

All 5 Takhats are permanent members of sgpc, maybe Budha Dal can ask the Sri Hazur Sahib jathedar to ask sgpc to allow nihang singhs to do sewa and protect gurdwaras in pak? Also, maybe Sants can do ardas to change sgpc mind with their shakti. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can, and have done nothing. But does that surprise you? In the last 2 years Gurdwara Dongmar in Sikkim (India) has been taken over by Budhists, yet no Buddha Dal there. Budha Dal does have alot of reach, influence and resources. According to an interview of Baba Balbir Singh Nihang, the Budha Dal have over 350 astaans/gurdwaras/chounes they control. Also, they have other organizations and educational institutions they also control. So Budha Dal can do alot for the Panth if they want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What have the 5 takhts been able to do for Gurdwara Dongmar, Sikkim, which was taken over 2 years ago by a Buddhist gang? Or even Gurdwara Gyan Godri, where Guru Nanak Dev Ji "fed" his fields with Ganges water? What about Gurdwara Arti Sahib, where Guru Nanak composed his famous Arti? Taken over in Orissa 2 years ago?

So the burning question is, why haven't they? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
