Men guilty of fire-bombing temple

Mukham Dogra, Sandip Rooprai and Jasdev Dogra (l-r)

Three Wiltshire men have been convicted of fire-bombing a temple and a house after being angered by the marriage of a Sikh woman to her Hindu boyfriend.

Sandip Rooprai, 21, of Penhill Drive, Swindon, acted out of a "misguided sense of honour" following his sister's wedding, Winchester Crown Court heard.

He and brothers Mukham Dogra, 18, and Jasdev Dogra, 19, of Cowdrey Close, Toothill, decided to make petrol bombs.

They then attacked a Bristol temple and the Swindon home of a wedding witness.

The brothers, who were friends of Rooprai, had driven with him to Bristol to attack the Gilbert Road Hindu temple where the marriage had taken place.

'Very good relations'

The Swindon house of the wedding witness, Alpona Begum Rahim, was then attacked by the men on two occasions in February 2008.

All three men had already pleaded guilty to arson after setting fire to a car that was parked outside the Rahim family home.

The jury found the men guilty of two counts of arson with recklessness as to whether life is endangered. However they were cleared of more serious charges of arson with intent to endanger life.

Speaking outside court, Bartook Pandya, who campaigns against racial attacks in Bristol, said the events were not representative of relations between the Hindu and Sikh communities, which he described as "usually very good".

He said: "Those marriages take place [in] lots of places. In India they are quite common. They are quite common here.

"And if this brother decides to fire-bomb, it is his own personal thing, it is nothing cultural, nothing from the community. I do not think the Sikh community would endorse that sort of behaviour."

Sentencing is expected on 6 July 2009.

SSF comes to shopkeepers’ rescue

Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, May 27

The Sikh Students Federation today helped the shopkeepers of the old city areas to open their shops and shoo away protesters, who tried to force market closure in the morning.

The SSF activists, led by outfit's president Gurdeep Singh, armed with naked swords marched on the road in the market and asked the shopkeepers to open their outlets fearlessly.

They scared away a number of agitators, who came to Chaura Bazar, Books Market and Meena Bazar and forced shopkeepers to down their shutters. The activists took out a peace march to instill confidence in the shopkeepers.

Earlier, the shopkeepers had closed their shops after getting scared. But later they all opened their establishments. ‘‘We were scared to see many establishments worth crores reducing to ashes,’’ said a shopkeeper.

‘‘People were only buying essential commodities. They were not buying anything else,’’ he said. SSP activists said though their act was termed illegal by some, they had not indulged in any such activity. They were trying to restore peace, he said.

‘‘What took place in Vienna was unfortunate and we have full sympathy with the followers. We have already suffered huge losses as our closed shops have been damaged by the angry mob. And there has been no work for the past two days. Finally, the curfew was relaxed in our area today, but some youths tried create ruckus again. So we decided to teach them lesson."

SIKH FEDERATION (UK) STATEMENT

SIKH FEDERATION (UK) STATEMENT ON THE VIENNA INCIDENT AND ATTACKS AGAINST SIKHS IN PUNJAB

We are deeply saddened and shocked over the recent incident that took place in Vienna, Austria and the subsequent rioting in Punjab. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Sikh families and friends of those affected by this incident. Any loss of life is regrettable whether in Vienna or Punjab.

All concerned need to ensure that incidents, like the one in Vienna and the violent reaction against Sikhs in Punjab that followed are not allowed to occur again. This will only happen if we take a hard look at the facts that have still to emerge about why the situation arose in Vienna in the first place and what was done by the authorities in Punjab to maintain calm and prevent attacks against Sikhs.

The incident in Vienna and reaction in Punjab have brought back many memories. Firstly the memory of 13 April 1978 when thirteen innocent Sikhs were killed for peacefully demonstrating against a fake Nirankari baba for showing disrespect towards the Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Secondly, the memory of the events from 25 years ago; when innocent Sikhs were deliberately targeted and killed.

Many hearing about the incident in Vienna or unsubstantiated rumours have immediately jumped on the popular bandwagon to condemn the attack that took place on Sunday without establishing the full facts. This includes the possibility that three local Amritdhari Sikhs, simply wearing their Kirpans, may have been shot dead by Indian security agents providing armed protection to the two so-called self-proclaimed gurus visiting Austria. A fourth local Sikh is believed to be in a serious condition in hospital with bullet wounds to the head.

Rumours abound as to why the incident took place in Vienna, including local tensions that existed. For example, there is talk of an incident a week earlier when a local Sikh man was supposedly attacked by thugs at the same location in Vienna for peacefully complaining about disrespect towards the Guru Granth Sahib Ji. The local Sikh man is believed to have been left with life threatening injuries and subsequently died in hospital of the wounds inflicted.

The media has largely been silent on the killing of Sikhs in Vienna by Indian security agents with the use of illegal firearms. Ironically the only statement in the media on the killing of three Sikhs has come from the Indian police itself. The media has also failed to report on whether a serious incident took place a week earlier that may have relegated the incident in Vienna to a local dispute that got totally out of hand by the over reaction of Indian security agents.

There are however a number of hard truths that many of those making statements to the media have avoided to mention. It is well-known that the two so-called self-proclaimed gurus visiting Austria described by one Austrian politician as 'problem gurus' that should not have been allowed to enter the country to preach hate, were partaking in activities disrespectful of the Guru Granth Sahib Ji. One possibility is these 'problem gurus' sealed their own fate through their offensive actions and continued disrespect towards the Guru Granth Sahib Ji. The likes of the SGPC and those that promote and protect these 'problem gurus' must shoulder the blame for what has happen due to their inaction.

There has been extensive misreporting about the Sikh faith by the media following the incident in Vienna. The repeated mistake made by the media is the failure to recognise Sikhs do not have a living human Guru. Instead the Sikhs eternal Guru is the Guru Granth Sahib Ji, which includes the teachings of Bhagat Ravi Dass and this has been the case for over 300 years.

The tenth and last human Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji was unequivocal when he stated: "Sab Sikhan ko hokam hai Guru Manyo Granth" meaning "All Sikhs are commanded to take the Granth as Guru". Sikhs throughout the world last year celebrated the 300th anniversary of the ending of the concept of the human Guru and the gurudom passing to the Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Nonetheless these 'problem gurus' have been encouraged to continue to stir up matters and have been provided armed Indian government protection while in India and abroad.

The media also continue to provoke the situation by portraying the Vienna incident as an issue linked to caste. However, by definition a Sikh is one who believes in one God, the teachings of the ten Sikh Gurus and their utterances contained in the Guru Granth Sahib Ji; and believes it is necessary to take Amrit by Khanda-ki-Pahul bequeathed by the tenth Guru. Those that understand the Sikh faith know those who take Amrit and become part of the Khalsa are deemed to be equal and the Sikh Gurus finished the caste system, which continues to be linked to the Hindu faith and way of life.

Followers defy curfew to burn ‘Khalistan’ effigy
36 arrested for violence in Jalandhar
Bipin Bhardwaj
Tribune News Service

Jalandhar, May 27
Soon after Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF) owned the responsibility for the Vienna firing, dera followers today defied curfew and assembled on the Jalandhar-Amritsar highway here to burn an effigy of “Khalistan” amid heavy deployment of the Army and police forces.

Though situation remained under control on the second consecutive day in Jalandhar today, the announcement of the KZF added to tension. Minor incidents of attacks and firing were reported in the city.

Protesters in Phillaur also burnt an effigy of “Khalistan” and raised slogans against the KZF. They also raised slogans against Bhindranwale and demanded deportation and prosecution of Ranjit Singh Neeta, KZF chief, from Pakistan.

While residents of internal parts of the city felt relief, those living in troubled areas had to remain indoors on the instructions of the police and paramilitary forces.

PS Parmar, SP (Detective), claimed that no fresh case of violence was reported today. The district police has registered 35 cases of violence and arrested 36 persons for rioting. The police has also detained youths for allegedly creating nuisance and indulging in incidents of violence.

This has nothing to do which khalistan, the indian government has made alot of propragnda up to divert attention from the upcoming days where sikhs commerate and reflect on how for 25 years the indian government has abused human rights of Sikhs and no justoce has been served to the police and army that was involved.

Roits in punjab and the shooting - It is not a caste Issue

Press release By SCYS (Sikh Community Youth Service)

We are deeply saddened and shocked over the recent incident that took place in Vienna , Austria and subsequent rioting in Punjab , India and our thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends, of everyone who has been affected by this incident.

We would appeal to communities around the world to work together, in harmony to resolve this matter peacefully and uphold the honor of the Guru Granth Sahib. The rioting that has been taking place across Punjab and surrounding areas is causing a detrimental effect to all the communities residing in Punjab .

Tensions had been building up within the Ravidass community for a number of years, concerning the Sach Khand Dera (Monestary) and there anti Guru Granth Sahib practices. A few years ago, Sant Rama Nand, leader of the Sach Khand Monestary came to the Guru Ravidass Gurdwara on Union Road in Handsworth, Birmingham , UK . He was forced to leave by the majority of the congregation and management committee because the majority of the Ravidass community took objection to the presence of any Dera leader, sitting parallel to the Guru Granth Sahib, the present and perpetual Sikh Guru.

After this incident the Guru Ravidass Gurdwara in Handsworth mounted a plaque within the Gurdwara, banning any cult leaders from undermining the Guru Granth Sahib, with there ritual worshipping practices.

At this time Sant Rama Nand leader of the Sach Khand Monestary hired the hall at the Holyhead High School on Holyhead Road , Handsworth to hold a gathering for his followers because the Guru Ravidass Gurdwara congregation and management committee, would not allow the gathering to take place there.

It would be difficult for any community to allow cult leaders into there places of worship and allow them to undermine there religious beliefs. Similarly as in the incident in the Vienna Gurdwara, some members of the congregation were offended by the anti Guru Granth Sahib practices of the Dera leaders and this has led to this terrible tragedy occurring.

Some media reports have suggested that the incident at the Gurdwara in Austria were due to tensions between higher and lower castes. Within the Sikh community we do not have a caste system, however people from different ethnic backgrounds or regions are referred to as Bradrees. This is different from the Hindu community in which castes exist. Within the Sikh community the bradrees literally mean equality amongst all ethnic groups, therefore although people may be from different ethnic groupings, collectively they make up the Sikh nation and are considered equal, which is different from the Hindu caste system, where people consider different castes to be higher and lower castes.

However it is sad to see the Anti- Sikh agencies (operating for the Indian Government) have stirred things up to stir up Voilence and cover up the fact that the Sikh community was uniting to expose human rights violations by the Indian government.

Cult Leader was a consistent offender of disrespecting SGGSJ

Disrespects committed by cult and followers:

• Idol worshipping is done in the presence of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

• The cult leader belittles Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and calls him self a Sikh Guru.

• It is also been mentioned that he gets his followers to put ramalay sahib on his feet and then places the same ramalay over Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

• So this cult makes a total mockery and totally disrespects mainstream Sikhi.

• The Sikh Guru preached against idol worshipping. So to do so in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji’s presence is a total piss take.

• Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji told Sikhs that SGGSJ will be the eternal Guru for Sikhs before he went to Sukhkahnd. There is no room for these new Gurus in Sikhi.

• A lot of Sikhs will not tolerate this type of abuse of their religion, what happened in Vienna is an example of frustration when authorities do not act to the abuse of a mainstream religion. Authority’s worldwide need to recognise Sikhism and not isolate Sikhs and leave them with no alternative other then taking the law into their own hands.

Badal sells out on the Sikh Community

Posted in General News by Panthic Weekly Editors on the May 27th, 2009

Badal sits on chair in presence of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji while his paid Granthis perform Sri Akhand Paath

Sri Akal Takht Sahib - Parkash Badal, Sukhbir Badal, along with his BJP companions, organized an Akhand Paath in room 10 behind Sri Akal Takht Sahib, at Sri Darbar Sahib complex, on behalf of Nirajan Daas, the Ravidasi leader who was injured at the Vienna Ravidas Sabha Mandir in Austria last weekend. Badal also told the press that he spoke with the injured Niranjan Daas, and expressed his condolences for the Vienna events.

The Akhand Paath was initiated with an Ardas by Giani Dharam Singh, and started by Sri Dabar Sahib Head Granthi, Giani Jaswinder Singh. Various members of the RSS linked BJP were present at the Akhand Paath, including the controversial Navjot Sidhu. The senior Badal, himself, sat above the sangat at the same level of the Manji Sahib of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, which itself is a serious violation of the Sikh Rahit Maryada.

Parkash Badal sitting on a chair in presese of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji at Sri Akal Takht Complex

Meanwhile, details are emerging that allege controversial comments made against Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji could have triggered the events in Vienna. Both Nand and Daas have allegedly made comments in other European countries questioning the need for Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji at Ravidas Mandirs, but this could not be confirmed by Khalsa Press.

The quick decision by Badal & Co. to hold and Akhand Paath for an individual who has allegedly criticized Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is not surprising. Since the 1970’s Parkash Badal has had close relationships with the psuedo-Nirankaris, and the Naamdharis when they were also openly questioning the validity of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

The so called sant disrespects our Guru Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji but an akhand patth is held for him while there has been so many sacrifices made by Sikh warriors and nothing is held for them, these are the leaders of the panth.

People are even changing the ardas these days. (what the f is going on!!1)

Finland Heretics to be summoned by Akal Takht Sahib for Violating Hukam

Friday 22nd of May 2009

Panthic Weekly News Bureau

Initial verses of the Sikh Ardas : From Chandi-di-Vaar

FINLAND (KP)—A Finland Gurdwara Committee’s peculiar decision to change the Sikh Ardas has been condemned by Sikh organizations based around the world. The Sikh leadership based in Punjab and other States is being perceived to take a strong stand against such blasphemy.

The Sikh Community is bound to follow the mandates of Akal Takhat Sahib at all times but the decision by Finland’s Capital City Gurdwara is certainly an attack on Sikh principles and beliefs as no consultation was done with the Sikh Nation before such a major decision was taken by the committee. The Sikh Ardas is derived from Gurbani and changing the ardas means changing the words of Guru Sahib, which in the Sikh religion is completely unacceptable.

What the Finland Committee has done is not very different from the works of Gurbaksh Kala Afghana who was excommunicated from the Sikh Nation. Kala Afghana published a series of books challenging Sikh traditions and the basic belief system without consulting with Akal Takht Sahib and other Sikh authorities.

The Finland Committee passed an internal resolution changing “Paratham Bhagautee Simar Ke” to “Paratham Akal Purakh Simar Ke” and “Guru Granth Ji Maneo Pargat Guraa’ Ki Deh” to “Panth Khalsa Maneo Pargat Guraa’ Ki Deh.” Furthermore, the Gurdwara committee has also enforced a ban on the singing and recitation of all bani by Guru Gobind Singh Ji inside the Gurdwara.

Recently, in the last few years, there has been some baseless debate over the authenticity of bani by Guru Gobind Singh Ji. The Akal Takht Sahib, along with all other Taksals and Sikh scholars, have shown their support in favor of the authenticity of Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s bani. In addition, Akal Takht Sahib passed a mandate asking Sikhs to fully agree with the authenticity of the entire Dasam Granth Sahib of Guru Gobind Singh Ji and not raise any doubts about its contents.

Finland Committee’s Action Condemned by Various Panthic Organizations

The head of Gurdwara Rampur Khera, based in Hoshiarpur, Punjab, Baba Seva Singh Ji highly condemned the actions by the Finland Committee. Baba Seva Singh is currently visiting California. He condemned the Finland Committee and asked Sikhs based all over the world to fully accept the Dasam Granth Sahib and respect its contents.

He alleged that mischievous persons were wrongfully raising questions on the Dasam Granth Sahib without studying its contents. Baba Seva Singh raised these views during his katha held in Stockton, the historical city of the Gadri Babas.

Several other Panthic organizations, including the Akhand Kirtani Jatha and Damdami Taksal also condemned changing of ardas and Gurbani. Representatives of both organizations were also present at the large scale program held by Baba Seva Singh. Both organizations expressed grief over the individualistic approach taken by the Finland Committee.

Armed Men Attack Sikh Temple In Vienna

At least 16 people have been wounded after armed men attacked a preacher and worshippers at a Sikh temple in Vienna.

Medics at the scene of the shooting

The Austrian national news agency APA quoted police spokesman Michael Takacs as saying all suspects had been arrested after the incident in the Austrian capital.

Local authorities and witnesses initially said the attackers were from two feuding families.

But they later said it involved members of several rival Sikh temples in Vienna who have been at odds for several years.

Police said the violence began when six people burst into the temple in Vienna's Rudolfsheim district during a religious service.

They attacked the preacher and other worshippers, one of them firing a gun and others wielding knives.

At least 16 people suffered gunshot and stab wounds in the violence - nine of whom were seriously hurt - before the attackers were subdued.

Punjab Riots

Please complain to the BBC regarding the below article

http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/complaints_stage1.shtml

Here is what i sent to them,

'I would like to complain about the grossly inaccurate coverage of the incident in Vienna and subsequent riots in Punjab. Your article states that a 'Sikh Guru' was killed. However in Sikhism, the present Guru is our Holy scriptures, known as Guru Granth Sahib Jee. Secondly you have mentioned that the violence was between higher and lower caste Sikhs. But Sikhism does not advocate the caste system. The group concerned in the incident, belong to the Ravidassi sect who have split from mainstream Sikhism. The person killed was revered as a Saint by the Ravidassi sect. I hope that you will promptly research and amend the inaccuracies in your coverage of recent events, in order to avoid offending the sentiments of the global Sikh community.'

Riots have broken out in almost all towns and cities in the Indian state of Punjab after a Sikh guru was killed by a rival group in a temple in Austria.

Thousands of angry protesters have taken to streets, damaging public property and setting trains on fire.

At least four people were injured when police opened fire at protesters who attacked a police station in Jalandhar.

The army has marched through the streets of Jalandhar city and a curfew is in place in four major towns.

Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has appealed for calm.

Guru Sant Ramanand was attacked on Sunday in Vienna - during clashes at a religious ceremony - by six men armed with knives and a pistol.

Whatever the provocation, it is important to maintain peace and harmony among different sections of the people

He succumbed to his wounds in hospital early Monday.

Another preacher Sant Nirajnan Dass, who was among 15 other people injured, is said to be stable.

Both the preachers were from a low-caste Sikh sect which has a large following in parts of Punjab and had travelled to Vienna to conduct a special service.

The BBC's Sanjoy Majumder, in Delhi, says several high caste Sikh groups had apparently opposed his presence and threatened violence.

Thousands of protesters carrying swords, steel rods and sticks are out on the streets in almost all major towns and cities, reports the BBC's Asit Jolly in Chandigarh, capital of Punjab state.

At least four trains have been attacked.

All major highways are blocked by bonfires of tyres and sticks, and all main railways stations in the state are deserted, our correspondent says.

Police say a large showroom of Hyundai motors has been completely destroyed and trains have been attacked in at least four places.

Police said they fired at rioting mobs in two places in Jalandhar after coming under attack.

At least four people were wounded, they said.

The army and police have marched through the streets of Jalandhar and police say they have arrested six people for arson.

A curfew has been imposed in the cities of Jalandhar, Phagwara, Hoshiarpur and Ludhiana.

The Delhi-Lahore bus has been stopped near the town of Ludhiana as a precautionary measure.

Violent demonstrations have also been reported in the towns of Amritsar, Patiala, Ferozepur, Bathinda and Nawanshahr.

'Distressed'

Chief Minister of Punjab Prakash Singh Badal has called an all-party meeting on Tuesday and PM Manmohan Singh has appealed for calm.

"I am deeply distressed by the outbreak of violence in Punjab following certain incidents in Vienna, Austria." Mr Singh said in a statement.

"Whatever the provocation, it is important to maintain peace and harmony among different sections of the people."

Mr Singh, a Sikh, said that Sikhism preached tolerance and harmony.

Guru Sant Ramanand and Sant Niranjan Dass were attacked on Sunday in Vienna.

Eyewitnesses said fundamentalist Sikhs from a higher caste attacked the preachers, who, they believed, were disrespectful of the Sikh holy book.

Police spokesman Michael Takacs said the scene was "like a battlefield". Six people have been detained, and more arrests were possible.

Several hundred worshippers were at the temple at the time of the attack.

The temple is situated in Vienna-Rudolfsheim, in the 15th district of the capital.

It is estimated that fewer than 3,000 Sikhs live in Austria.

The Rudolfsheim temple is run by devotees of Shri Guru Ravidas, who founded the Dera Sach Khand sect.

A honest review on the Sikh Channel

The Sikh Channel Reviewed By Frontline Punjabi Youth Sevadars

The Sikh Channel is the first channel dedicated to the Sikh Faith. It is totally devoted to Dharmic seva.

Positives:

• The visuals add to the effect of the Gurbani, helps concentration.

• The idea of having a channel dedicated 24/7 to Sikhi is amazing.

• Parchaar can be reached to all of the U.K from one place (that is a powerful tool if used)

Negatives:

· The writing going across the screen giving pump to the people who donated money (this is anti sikhi) as it is all to do with ego. You learn nothing from reading them.

· The protest for bow Gurdwara should have been going across the screen, not a name of a person that gave £10 pound. Waheguru knows all; there is no need to mention who gave money, if someone is giving money to get their name across the screen. They will not reap fruits of their seva as their motive is pump and ego.

· The channel could be more Panthic; it is good to see the dedication to Gurbani. But why not put up details of the bow protest (going across the screen) as that is also for the stakar of Gurbani.

· Instead of the names for pump, Sikhi events and darbars across the country should be going across the screen.

· Sikhi is about miri and piri and I have not seen the panthic side to the channel yet. Like its 25 years since June the information about the rally and documentaries about the Sikh genocide should be playing and all the darbars held in the remembrance of the victims should be going against the screen.

Interview with Killa from Sikh Unit & Talk about Spirituality

Interview with Killa from Sikh Unit by Simran Kaur (May 15^th 2009– Barking Gurdwara)

Simran Kaur: Killa there is two days left until the new album is launched, do you have any words about this?

Killa: Big up Gadget boy and ambition and all da manz dat showed support on this project. The album is issued based on a lot of social issues that a lot of Punjabi youth go through. It includes a lot of pain and experience. It isn’t really aimed at religious people too much; it’s aimed at your average person.

Other then that I will let the Album do the talking. It is called “Singhs Talking the Hardest” It was produced by an upcoming producer called Gadget boy. Gadget boy is normally a beat maker and has made hit beats from other big artists who sell tunes in HMV. So I was blessed to be working with him, he also told me this is his first production were he has had to produce and edit vocals too, so the album has been an experience for every one.

Out 17^th May 2009 on www.sikhunit.co.uk

Simran Kaur: Your last Album was called Public demand, and I thought that was your last Album?

The last album was actually meant to be the double CD called “No more MR Nice Guy”, but we kept on getting fan mail and requests to make more so we made one after called Public demand (hence the name) which was meant to be the last one yeah. But a lot of incidents in life and general peer pressure made us do this one, as I saw a need for a Sikh Unit Album juts concentrating on everyday living.

Simran Kaur: Do you have any words for the youth?

Killa: The album has all the words, but I do want to take this opportunity to discuss important issues regarding spirituality.

First of all I must state that I am not the most spiritual person at all, but I will narrate from my own experience so that others may learn from my errors (that’s the least I can do man).

The whole aim of Sikhi is to get your soul merging back with Akal purakh. Until we don’t follow Sikhi in a genuine manner our soul will keep on being reincarnated and transmigrate through different live forms. But if we follow The Gurus Hukam and get the Gurus kirpa we can get to Suchkhand (liberation from life and death).

The Only two things that are guaranteed in life are birth and death, you are born and you die. Everyone you see will die, no one is immune from physical death.

Fact of Life: No Matter how serious we may take life, to God it is a game, a form of entertainment like a puppet show. In Principle it’s like a kid playing a Gameboy, no matter what happens in the game, the kid knows it’s a game in the back of his head. This is how we should treat life, but it is hard to have this outlook. But it is this attitude and the love for Sikhi that has helped the Khalsa Fauj give sacrifices for humanity and justice.

Kuljug: Gurbani tells us that we are living in Kuljug. Kuljug is a dark force of energy which has an aim of keeping people away from truth and Waheguru.

Kuljug works in numerous ways; it has slaves like Maya and the 5 internal demons in our bodies (Lust, attachment, ego, anger, and greed).

Kuljug is very powerful; Maya is the illusions such as family, friends and money. We dwell in these things so much sometimes we forget that all this is tempory. Maya is a deception created by Kuljug to distract us from focusing on waheguru and trust me it is very successful at that.

Note: Kuljug was created and is controlled by Waheguru (It is all apart of his game).

The five inner demons dwell in our mind and constantly attack our being and keep us trapped in their clutches through out life. They are very powerful; to get away from their clutches is an extremely hard battle.

Basically kuljug twits the whole mentality of righteousness ion the world. For example what is seemed right is deemed as wrong. In schools instead of telling kid about how immodest dressing and meat is wrong. They serve meat as school dinners and the school uniform consists of mini skirts. This is how polluted and corrupt the world becomes in kuljug. Daughters have no shame, i.e. perform sexual acts on a porno video they don’t care that one day there own dad or brothers may watch it. This is how powerful kuljug is, and we are all victims to its attacks.

How to defeat Kuljug and Get back to Waheguru.

Gurbani is our main weapon to destroy all the dark energies with in us. Gurbani instructs the mind and keeps it focused on righteousness and truth. Gurbani releases an energy called Naam, which is a divine light and this purifies our minds and body.

But how much Gurbani do we do?

We waste alot of time watching films, talking crap etc; we should try and read Angs from SGGSJ daily. (Maharaj is on the net these days it isn’t a hard task)

Nitnem – is the daily prayers that a Sikh is meant to read. These create a shield and defend us against kuljugs attacks.

How many of us miss our nitnem?

Amritvela – are the early morning hours in which a Sikh is meant to wake up and meditate on waheguru. The Guru does more Kirpa at amritvela, Gurbani gives many reasons for waking up at amritvela, I am not going to go into them, and all you need to know is that it is a hukam (command) from the Guru. (We always keep questioning things, sometimes we just need to learn to take orders and show some humility).

How many people Miss Amritvela?

Seva – means selfless service in which we use our hands or money to help others and expect nothing in return, this is essential.

When is the last time you cleaned the toilets in the Gurdwara?

The Khalsa Fauj – Amrit is the start of journey, some people think if you take Amrit that’s it you get to God. Taking Amrit is like enrolling in the School of the Guru, now you have to learn from Gurbani and complete the course of Gursikhi.

The Khalsa army has always fought for righteousness and humanity. Sikhi is not about locking yourself up from the world and just doing Gurbani as a lot of people seem to think these days. Real Sikhs make things happen with Guru Ji’s Kirpa.

This interview is not an attack on anyone, and nor am I talking down to anyone, I myself have a crap jeevan and am just evaluating my life discussing downfalls in my life and in turn raising some points for others to think about. Please do ardass for the Chardikala of the Panth!!

Self-styled 'Guru' dismisses Gurbani Raags as Outdated

So-called ‘Guru’ Jaspal Singh (right) dismisses Gurbani Raags as ‘outdated’
and ridicules Sikh Rehat that bans Kirtan by non-Sikhs

* Akal Takht Jathedar directs Gurdwara management committee to not allow him to utilize stage for his performances

* Suspicious baba now touring historical Gurdwaras, touting to replace 'outdated' Gurmat Sangeet with popular non-traditional raags.

IMLI SAHIB, Indore, India (KP)—Controversy erupted at the historic Gurdwara Imli Sahib, Indore when a self-styled musician-guru's visit was protested by various Sikh groups due to his anti-Panthic activities and anti-Gurmat remarks.

At the center of the debate is a charlatan saint who often refers to himself as an expert in "Shashtri Sangeet" and is also known as Baba Jaspal Singh Americawale and Sant Bhai Sahib Bhai Jaspal Singh Americawale.

According to local sevadars of Indore, the Baba is worshipped as a guru-like personality by his followers and has made very offensive comments regarding Gurbani Raags and the Sikh Rehat Maryada.

The Baba is touring various cities across India with a musical group that includes several clean-shaven non-Sikhs who play various stringed instruments. He defends using non-Sikhs in his musical 'kirtani' groups erroneously claiming that Bhai Mardana Ji and Bhai Bala Ji were also non-Sikhs during Guru Nanak Dev Ji's time.

The Indore program, organized at the historic Gurdwara Imli Sahib, was booked by the local Singh Sabha and an organization linked to the Baba, the International Society for Gurbani Consciousness.

The baba has been staying at the residence of a rich Panjabi named Gurmeet Narang. Interestingly, Gurmeet's brother, Ajit Narang, is well known in RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) circles. Ajit Narang has been coordinating various RSS yatras in the Madhya Pardes area, and both Narang brothers keep statues of the Hindu diety Ganesh in their homes.

Such is the reveration of his followers that his host Gurmeet Narang, in an interview with the national newspaper Dainik Bhaskar, on page 6 of the May 9th 2009 edition, refers to him as "Guru Jaspal Singh Ji."

The baba's connections to the pro-RSS Narang family has raised the suspicions of sevadars from Shahbaaz Khalsa, GURSIKH, Baleyo Charag Mission, and the Akhand Kirtani Jatha.

The sevadars further discovered that the self-styled musician Baba was also mocking the traditional raags included in Sri Guru Granth Sahib, labeling them as "outdated." Instead, he was introducing his own raags, which according to him were more popular with the Sangat than the traditional raags in Sri Guru Granth Sahib.

These statements outraged the local sevadars. They immediately contacted Giani Gurbachan Singh, appointed Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib, and updated him on the Baba's mischievous statements on Gurbani Raags and also the fact that he was attempting to utilize the kirtan stage of this historical sacred Gurdwara for his musical performances which were being conducted by non-Sikhs.

According to the sevadars, the Jathedar immediately sent a message to the Gurdwara Sahib Committee members and Singh Sabha president Gurdeep Singh Bhatia directing them not to allow the controversial Baba on stage.

The Baba became incensed that his programs were being blocked by pressure from local Sikh organizations. According to several eyewitnesses, he touted that he did not care about Sri Akal Takht Sahib or the Sikh Rahit Maryada. At the same time, he did not want to deal with the protesting Singhs directly and made several attempts to first appease them, and later tried to threaten and intimidate them.

Upon realizing the situation, he reportedly backed down and instead held a private performance at the Narang residence.

The sevadars warned the Sangat to stay alert of the mis-parchar being spewed by this Baba and be aware of his political connections to RSS related individuals and blamed the baba for attempting to create a personality cult around him.

According to the Baba's publicist, the Baba hails from Los Angeles, California and was an "experienced master of the art of exposition." He is quoted to be a disciple of "Baba Isher Singh Ji Rara Sahib" who is referred to as his Master, and also became a disciple of Ustad Mehndi Hassan, and Srimati Lakshmi Devi. He claims to be one of the only experts in classical music and flouts that he performs across the globe at all major Gurdwaras because there is nobody else with his vast knowledge and skills.

Khalsa Press has attempted to contact Jaspal Singh for the charges laid against him by the Sangat, but he has been unavailable for comments.
