Do not be proud of your social class and status, you ignorant fool! So much sin and corruption comes from this pride. ||1||Pause|| Everyone says that there are four castes, four social classes. They all emanate from the drop of God's Seed. ||2|| The entire universe is made of the same clay. The Potter has shaped it into all sorts of vessels. ||3|| The five elements join together, to make up the form of the human body. Who can say which is less, and which is more? ||4|| Says Nanak, this soul is bound by its actions. Without meeting the True Guru, it is not liberated. ||5||1| SRI GURU GRANTH SAHIB JI (ANG 1128)
In Gurmat — Divine Teaching or Wisdom of the Gurbani from Sri Guru Granth Sahib — there is no place for the caste system (Jaat-Paat). Guru Nanak Dev Ji introduced the concept of a society with no caste hierarchy. This concept was followed through by all Sikh Gurus. Yet, the madness of belief in castes has a stronghold on Sikhs today. On one hand the propagators of the Dharma mouth platitudes about a casteless society preached by the Sikh Gurus, but on the other hand, they practice it madly. What hypocrisy!
Many Gurdwaraas are built on caste systems, based on ill feelings created by the madness of belief in Jaat-Paat rather than a genuine spiritual cause.
Those who know God and recognize His Shabad, their caste consciousness is obliterated. (SGGS Ji, Ang 67)
Recognize the Lord's Light within all, and do not consider social class or status; there are no classes or castes in the world hereafter. ||1|| (SGGS Ji, Ang 349)
Sardar Jassa Singh Ramgarhia
“Age of the Misls” is referred to as the period between the death of Banda Singh Bahadur in 1716 to the founding of the Sikh Empire in 1801. This period was of much turbulence and bloodshed as the invading mogul forces continued their aggression on the Sikhs. In 1716 Afghan armies of Ahmed Shah Abdali had put a price on Sikh heads. Jassa Singh and other Sikhs took refuge in the mud fort of Ram Rauni, which later acquired the name of Ramgarh after further fortifications. Jassa Singh being the commander of this army of Sikhs became known as Jassa Singh Ramgarhia.
The Misl was made up of Sikh warriors who courageously fought for the protection of the Sikh Panth. The Ramgarhia Misl was made up of Sikh soldiers from all castes, but united under the Nishan Sahib they were of the highest caste – The Khalsa. Jassa Singh – An Amritdhari Singh of Guru Gobind Singh Ji lead his Sikh soldiers against the Mogul tyrants. Many thousands of Sikhs lost their lives during this period- for the principles of the Khalsa
Shamefully, today we see in the name of Jassa Singh – rejection of Sikhi principles and promotion of ritualistic pooja of mythical Hindu relevance and caste discrimination.I was appalled to receive a letter through my door (posted around Luton) with the heading “A message to all Ramgarhias” This letter was aimed to mislead Sikhs back into the shackles of caste and caste based institutions. The letter was centred on adaptation of Baba Vishkarama! (A Hindu God) How ABSURD!! Gurbani says;
Guru Nanak is the greatest of all; He saved my honour in this Dark Age of Kali Yuga. SGGSJ, Ang 750
I do not perform Hindu worship services, nor do I offer the Muslim prayers. I have taken the One Formless Lord into my heart; I humbly worship Him there. - Guru Arjan Dev Ji, Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Ang 1136
O brother, you worship gods and goddesses. What can you ask of them and what can they give to you? O brother, the stones idols you wash with water sink in water (in other words how could these stones help you cross the ocean of worldly temptations) SGGSJ, Ang 637
“Those who serve Shiva and Brahma cannot find the limits of God” (Guru Granth Sahib, 516). The ones who serve any other instead of God cannot attain salvation. Salvation is granted only by God. “Everyone must serve the One Lord, who created Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. O Nanak, the One True Lord is permanent and stable. He does not die, and He is not born” SGGSJ, Ang, 1130
I end this with a Benti to all Sikhs to reject all caste-based institutions. The Gurdwara Sahib is the home of the living Jaag-Di-Jhot Shabad - Guru Granth Sahib ji. Any form of pooja or act of ritualistic worship to mythological characters in the presence of Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji is Beadbi and should not be tolerated.
A lot of Ramgharia Gurdwars have the picture of Lord Vishwakarma Up.
Hindus believe that Vishwakarma is the presiding deity of all craftsmen and architects. Son of Brahma, he is the divine craftsman of the whole universe, and the official builder of all the gods' palaces. Vishwakarma is also the designer of all the flying chariots of the gods, and all their weapons.
According to mythology it is Vishwakarma who created the entire universe as well as the heaven and the earth. Vishwakarma is also credited for creating the missiles used in the mythological era, including the Vajra the sacred weapon of Lord Indra, from the bones of sage Dadhichi. He is regarded as the supreme worker, the very essence of excellence and quality in craftsmanship. Vishwakarma is the divine architect of the whole universe and is personification of the creative power that wields heaven and earth together. He has four hands, carrying a water-pot, a book, a noose and craftsman's tools. All the divine weapons, chariots, etc. possessed by gods are his creation. He is also the chief architect and builder of Lanka, Dwarka and Yampuri. His daughter Sanjana was married to the Sun-God (Surya) and Saranya to Vaivaswat Manu.
Gurdwaras are the house of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji; it is disrespectful to bring any other type of worship into Gurdwaras. Why are these Gurdwaras trying to dilute Sikhi into Hinduism? The Khalsa is distinctive and only worships WAHEGURU!
Also Ramgharia Gurdwaras do not let you join the Committee unless you are of the same so called Caste. This Bullshit has been going on for too long now. If you’re a Sikh you’re a Sikh, you either follow Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji or you don’t Simple as!
