Stop emailing me and justifying A Sikh being Gay!

I am sick and tired of replying to emails that I am getting justifying Sikhs being Gay. In my previous article I tired being nice and using a cool approach, but the amount of Sikhs that are Gay and writing to me to back their cause has forced me to go abit raggo!

Ask your self this question, can you imagine the brave and pure warrior Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji saying to his Singhs. That Singhgo it is ok for you to be Gay, Amerjit Singh can have Anand Karaj with Jaswant singh next week!

If you can then you are twisted and a stain to Sikhi!

Some misled by doubts, go on wandering in ten (all) directions, while others are adorned (reformed) through attachment with the name (nam).Verse 7 Anand Sahib.

People argue that Gays are born gays by birth, well if you believe this then we might as well say that rapists and paedophiles are born criminals at birth too. In reality a rapist commits rape due to the corruption of his/her mind; not due to being born as one. In the same way gays turn to their filthy desires due to the corruption of the mind. A true Sikh has a pure mind and lives a life free of corruption.

Gayness equals corruptness

Remain straight and stay bless

2 little boys found stabbed to death!

'My boys did not deserve to die'

The mother of Paul and Jay Ross described them as 'irreplaceable'

The mother of two young boys found dead in a car park has said they "did not deserve to die".

A man, thought to be their father, remains in a critical condition in hospital with severe burns.

Giselle Ross issued a statement about her sons through Strathclyde Police on Monday afternoon.

The bodies of six-year-old Paul and Jay, aged two, were found in a car in the Campsie hills, north of Glasgow, on Saturday afternoon.

BBC Scotland understands they were both stabbed, although police have still to confirm how the children died.

A murder inquiry is under way into the death of the pair, who lived in Royston, north of Glasgow.

Paul and Jay were beautiful boys who were well loved by all the family and everyone who knew them Giselle Ross Mother

Police have not yet confirmed whether the injured man, who is under police guard, was related to the children.

However local people named him as Ashok Kalyanjee, the father of the boys, who used to work in the local post office.

Officers said that they were following a "positive" line of inquiry and were not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths.

The boys were found in the vehicle near Lennoxtown, East Dunbartonshire, at 1630 BST on Saturday.

Mrs Ross said: "Paul and Jay were beautiful boys who were well loved by all the family and everyone who knew them. They did not deserve to die.

"Paul wasn't even allowed to play outside in case he came to any harm. Both boys loved their mum - they were real mummy's boys.

"They are irreplaceable and are greatly missed by all the family."

'Sad time'

Paul Ross was a pupil at Royston Primary School in Glasgow.

Head teacher Elizabeth Davidson said: "Paul was a lovely, well-behaved, quiet young boy. I'm certain that children who knew Paul and his brother will be devastated when they learn of this tragic news.

"The school has been made aware of the incident and shall be supporting the mother in any way it can. Our thoughts and prayers are with her at this sad time."

Locals spoke of the shock at the deaths of the two boys.

One neighbour said: "It's just so sad, it's a terrible thing to have happened. I live next door and my heart goes out to them."

The B822 Crow Road was closed off after the bodies were found

Another woman, who did not want to be named, said: "It's just such a shame that this has happened, it's a tragedy. Words can't describe it.

"I used to see the mother passing by with the two wee boys, one of them in the pram. I think she must be in a terrible place.

"We were at mass on Sunday and everyone was talking about it. As soon as they mentioned the post office I knew who it was.

"I didn't know the family well but I did know the grandmother quite well. They were very close and the boys' mum was devastated when she died, heartbroken.

"To bury your mum not long ago and then bury your two babies is just awful."

The car park where the boys were found is about 10 miles from Glasgow and close to the Campsie Fells, a popular spot with families and hill walkers.

It is said to be popular because of the views it offers across Glasgow

Old Case Study

Over 100 Sikhs protest at the Lakeside Country Club, Camberely, Surrey on 31st July 2005

With Guru Ji's kirpa Sikh protesters resolved 2 separate issues this weekend where Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji was to be taken banqueting halls in Wembley and Docklands to perform 'Sikh' wedding ceremonies. We would like to thank the families who fully co-operated with the protesters and re-arranged the weddings at local Gurdwara Sahibs.

There remained 1 unresolved issue where Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji was to be taken to the LAKESIDE COUNTRY CLUB in Camberley, Surrey to perform a 'Sikh' wedding ceremony on Sunday (31 July 2005). Regardless of the discussions and meetings that the local Sangat had with the family, who live in Southall, they were still willing to go against the Akaal Takht Hukumnama. This was despite being able to have the wedding ceremony re-arranged at a local Southall Gurdwara at short notice.

On 31 July 2005 over 100 Sikhs from around the UK gathered together to peacefully protest at the Lakeside Country Club and prevent the Saroop of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji from being taken into the complex where meat, alcohol and cigarettes are served. A Saroop of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji was brought from Guru Granth Gurdwara - Mangat Hall, Southall by Tarlochan Singh Grewal. This individual, who is in a responsible position of running the Gurdwara, transported the Saroop of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji in a suitcase placed on the front seat of his van. Due to the large presence of Sikhs, Tarlochan Singh Grewal fled the scene and was unable to take Guru Ji's saroop into the premises. There was no further successful attempt to take Guru Ji's saroop onto the premises as the large presence of Sikhs hindered the entry. The family eventually re-arranged the Sikh wedding ceremony to a Gurdwara Sahib in Southampton.

The Sikhs then moved on to Guru Granth Gurdwara-Mangat Hall to confront Tarlochan Singh Grewal. Five chosen Sikhs tried to peacefully discuss the issue with Tarlochan Singh Grewal, who has persistently gone against the Akaal Takht Hukumnama and taken Guru Ji's Saroop to bars, clubs, pubs, hotels etc on numerous occasions. However, he was insistent that he had done anything wrong by denying the act and stating that he does not follow any Akaal Takht Hukumnama. A further confrontational statement was made by Tarlochan Singh Grewal's son-in-law who said that they do not acknowledge any Hukumnama or Sangat request about being responsible for taking Sir Guru Granth Sahib Ji's saroop to places where meat, alcohol and cigarettes are served. He further stated that they would continue to take Guru Ji's saroop to these kinds of venues and no one would be able to stop them. Guru ji's Saroop was then taken by the Sikhs from Guru Granth Gurdwara-Mangat Hall to a Sachkhand of another Gurdwara Sahib.

It is with great shame to know that Gurdwaras have better links with Banqueting Halls and Hotels than it has with its own Sangat. People like Tarlochan Singh Grewal are not ignorant to the disrespect they cause to Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. They have sold their conscious and make a living out of deceit, lying to families and taking Guru Ji wherever anyone wants. Their charges range from £500 upwards depending of level of service. When did Guru Ji and Sikh Maryada become a commodity for sale or a service to be provided to suit us?

On these grounds, we thus implore the Sikh community in general, whether they are involved in the offending marriage ceremonies or not, to take a step backwards and reconsider where Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji stands in their life. Is the respect we display to Guru Sahib hollow and ritualistic, or does Guru Sahib really stand at the centre of our lives? Are we truly Sikhs of the Guru? By showing the appropriate respect to Guru Sahib and giving as much love and respect as possible, there can be no doubt that Guru Ji himself will bless us in our every day living and make our life more worthwhile.

Good Rap Tune

Most Of US are Gulity

Disrespect Of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, and we all have done this!

“Yesterday I stepped on Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji; funny thing was I did not even know, but when I realised I felt the pain in my heart.”

Yes at one point in our lives most of us would have done this without even knowing. Most people have lost all respect and regards for our Guru; we treat Guru Ji as a piece of paper that has no value.

Yesterday as I walked into my house I stepped on an envelope and did not think nothing of it until I opened it up……………………..

It was a wedding card, with a Big Ekonkaar at the front of it. The First sacred Limb of Gurbani. All of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is a message to explain Ekonkaar, and I just simply steeped on it…… I cannot describe how much despair I felt at the time; I cursed the person who had sent me that card (as it was their fault that I disrespected Guru Ji like that).

We all do or know someone that prints Gurbani on wedding, Akhand paat, Birthday cards etc without thinking that this will land on someone’s house floor matt, where people clean their shoes. Would you ever think of walking into a Gurdwara and walking over Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji? But in principle this is what I did when I walked on the Card in the envelope (there was no difference)

W\e use Gurbani so loosely not thinking about consequences or the respect of Gurbani. These small things that we do are the biggest mistakes we make which distance us from our Guru Ji.

Please Spread this message and encourage others not to use Gurbani on any Cards.

P.S please do not just throw old cards with Gurbani on them into the Bin, they are to be disposed of respectfully in a proper manner (They are to be cremated)

Life of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Jee’s adopted son Baba Zoravar Singh Ji Paalit

Every Sikh knows of Guru Gobind Singh jee's four Sahibzaadey, but very few know that Guru Sahib also had four adopted sons. These four were Baba Charan Singh jee, Baba Punjab Singh jee, Baba Ajaipal Singh jee and also Baba Zoravar Singh jee Paalit (paalit means adopted). Baba Zoravar Singh jee is not to be confused with the other Sahibzada Zoravar Singh jee who was martyred in Sirhand.

Birth and Meeting Guru Gobind Singh

Baba Zoravar Singh jee Paalit was born in the home of Bhai Nathoo Ram Lotay and Mata Bhikee jee on December 24, 1696 in Busee(n) Pathana(n). Baba Zoravar Singh jee's father, Bhai Nathoo Ram did seva in the darbaar of Guru Gobind Singh jee while Mata Bhikee jee served Mata Jeet Kaur jee and after Mata jee's passing in December 1700, she served Mata Sundar Kaur jee. Bibi Bhikee jee used to take care of the little Sahibzadas, Baba Zoravar Singh jee and Baba Fateh Singh jee.

The Wrestling Match

Bibi Bhikee jee's son also used to stay at Anandpur Sahib. One day Guru Gobind Singh jee was watching his Singhs train in martial arts. The older Sahibzaday, Baba Ajeet Singh jee and Baba Jujhaar Singh jee were practising gatkaa and archery while the two younger Sahibzaday were busy exercising. Guru Gobind Singh jee's eye fell upon Bibi Bhikee jee's son who was standing nearby watching all this. He saw that the young boy was about the same age and size as Baba Zoravar Singh jee and said, "Come, let's have a wrestling match between you and Zoravar Singh!"

The wrestling match began and Guru jee watched with great interest and amusement. In the end the young boy pinned Baba Zoravar Singh jee. Guru jee called the young boy near and embraced him, and then, putting his hand on the boy's back, said "This boy too is my Zoravar Singh!" i.e. my Powerful One. From that day foreward, Bibi Bhikee's son became Zoravar Singh and no one even remembers his original name. The adopted Baba Zoravar Singh stayed with the other Sahibzaday and played with them and learned with them and was treated just like another son of Guru Gobind Singh jee.

Leaving Anandpur Sahib

On the night of December 5th, 1705, Guru Gobind Singh jee and the Sikhs left the fort of Anandpur and at that time, Baba Zoravar Singh Paalit also accompanied the Singhs. Baba Zoravar Singh was not yet nine years old, but he accompanied the great hero Bhai Bacchitar Singh. When the big group of Sikhs passed Keeratpur Sahib and reached the banks of the Sirsa, the armies of the Hill Chiefs attacked. Guru Sahib divided the Singhs into four groups. One Jatha led by Bhai Udai Singh was sent to the Shahee Tibee, another under Bhai Jeevan Singh jee was sent to counter the Hill-Chiefs and Bhai Bachhitar Singh was sent forward to block the approach of the Mughal army from Sirhand.

Bhai Bachhitar Singh jee's jatha met up with the Mughal army at village Malkpur. Little Baba Zoravar Singh was also with this Jatha. The Singhs fell upon the Mughals, charging forward to stop the massive Mughal army's advance. They were not fighting to protect their lives; they were fighting to prevent the Mughal army from advancing and attacking the rest of the Singhs that were crossing the Sirsa River. The Singhs fought with fearless ferocity and astonished the Mughals. In the thick of the battle was Baba Zoravar Singh. When the battle was over, of the 100 Singhs who were in the Jatha, only two had lived. Bhai Bachhitar Singh and Baba Zoravar Singh remained and both were lying on the battlefield badly wounded.

Recuperating

Later on, a Jatha of Singhs under Baba Ajeet Singh jee passed through this area and seeing the wounded Bhai Bacchitar Singh and Baba Zoravar Singh, picked them up. Baba Zoravar Singh was taken to a village and left at the home of Bhai Gursaa Singh who bandaged Baba jee's wounds. In total, there were 22 cuts on little Baba Zoravar Singh's body, which would take a long time to heal. Bhai Bachhitar Singh jee was too badly wounded to recover and became a Shaheed on December 8th. When night fell on December 8th, Bhai Gursaa Singh first did the saskaar of Shaheed Bhai Bachhitar Singh jee and then secretly took Baba Zoravar Singh to village DaDhaeRee where a Sikh lady, Mata Poopaa(n) lived. Mata Poopaa(n) was a devotee of the Guru and used to sew clothes for Guru Gobind Singh jee and present them as offerings. Mata jee slowly cleaned each wound and re-bandaged them.

After some days, Baba Zoravar Singh Paalit soon became healthy. Baba Zoravar Singh wanted to meet his father Guru Gobind Singh jee again, but had no idea where he and the other Singhs could be. He had heard that Mata Sundar Kaur jee had gone to Delhi and decided that it was best to go there and stay with her. So he travelled to Delhi and began to live with Mata Sundar Kaur jee and Mata Sahib Kaur jee.

Meeting Dashmesh Jee Again

In the start of 1706, the Sikhs of Delhi found out that Guru Gobind Singh jee was staying at Talvandee Sabo. The Sangat of Delhi was yet deciding when to go meet Guru jee, but Baba Zoravar Singh could not wait to meet his father any more. He set out with Mata Gulabo, Bhai Soorat Singh (the son of Bhai Jeevan Singh) and Bhai Charan Singh (grand son of Shaheed Bhai Matee Daas jee). Baba Zoravar Singh stayed with Guru jee for some days and then left to visit Mata Poopaa(n) and also his birth family in Basee Pathana(n). He then lived at Khijraabad near Ropar for 1.5 years.

At the end of 1707, Guru Sahib was meeting Bahadur Shah in Agra, when Bahadur Shah decided to go south to quell the rebellion by his brother. Guru Sahib also decided to go south at this time. Baba Zoravar Singh too was feeling the long separation from his father again and decided to meet up with Guru jee and the Singhs. He arrived in Guru jee's camp unexpectedly at village Itmaadpur. Sree Guru Sobha, a document from 1711 describes the scene of Baba Zoravar Singh jee's arrival. All the Singhs gathered around Baba Zoravar Singh and happily gave him their Fatehs. Baba Zoravar Singh went before Guru Gobind Singh jee and bowed and Guru jee embraced him, kissing his son on the forehead. Baba Zoravar Singh now began to live with Guru jee again.

Shahidi

As Guru jee and the Singhs kept moving South through different villages, the Jatha arrived at the town of ChitauR. This town had a very big and magnificent fort, which was built by the Rajpoots but was now occupied by some Mughal soldiers. On April 2nd, 1708, Baba Zoravar Singh and 20 other Singhs decided to go see this fort. 125 Mughal soldiers manned the fort. The Mughal guard told the Singhs that they could not enter the fort as no non-Muslim was allowed this right. An argument and debate followed and the Mughals began to speak rudely about non-Muslims and began to insult the Sikhs. The argument became quite heated and then became an all out battle. The 20 Singhs fought bravely and Baba Zoravar Singh too, at the age of 11 years, 3 months and 10 days fought like a lion. They could not bear the insult of their faith. When the battle had concluded, 100 Mughal soldiers lay dead but every Singh had also become a martyr, including Baba Zoravar Singh jee.

The next day, Guru Gobind Singh jee himself did the saskaar of the 21 shaheeds on the banks of the river Ganbheer.The life of Baba Zoravar Singh jee Paalit is not known very well and very few people know that he was the adopted son of Guru Gobind Singh jee. The dedication little Baba Zoravar Singh jee showed to Sikhi in his 11 years of life is an inspiration to all.

1978 Martyrs Objectionable: Dixie Gurdwara Committee

Toronto (KP) -- On Sunday, April 27th, thousands of Sikhs and non-Sikhs alike came together to celebrate Vaisakhi in the form of the downtown Toronto Nagar Keertan. Yet, to everyone's surprise, the management of Ontario Khalsa Darbar, also known as Dixie Gurdwara Sahib, forbid the entry of a float commemorating the 13 Martyrs of Vaisakhi 1978 and other Shaheeds.

The Sangat had prepared the float in honour of the Singhs who obtained Shaheedi in 1978 in the standoff against the Nirankari group. The float was present in the Nagar Keertan the previous week at Malton gurdwara to Rexdale gurdwara. The Police escorted this float out of the Nagar Keertan and the Singhs were suspended from taking part in the Nagar Keertan. Even after being forced out of the Nagar Keertan by Police escort the Singh bravely raised Jaikaray and slogans calling for Khalistan.

Even though the Management removed a float honouring great shaheeds they allowed a Khalistan banner to be held by sangat at the front of the Nagar Keertan. Once the procession arrived at Nathan Philips Square, the banner was held by sangat in front of the stage, clearly in view of the politicians who took part in the event. In response to the Vancouver Nagar Keertan, one Singh beautifully stated, “You can take away our floats, you can take away our banners, you can even take away our Nagar Keertan. But you can’t take away our demand for Khalistan and Justice.”

As readers may know, in 1978 a peaceful protest was held by Sikhs in Amritsar Sahib against a government funded cult. The cult was armed with machine guns and opened fire on the unarmed crowd. The pictures of the martyrs who innocently died that day have not been controversial in the past.

Aside from the above controversy, many different people joined together and celebrated this event as a socio-cultural activity. As always, sangat came in floods to walk with the Nagar Keertan from far and wide. Many different Youth Organizations came together and represented such as: Sikh Activist Network, Yudh Gatka Akhara, Kaurs United, and various other groups. The Guru Gobind Singh Children’s Foundation took on the sevaa of organizing the shuttle busses which took sangat from Nathan Philips Square to the CNE, which for the first time in many years, ran smoothly due to the organizational efforts of the youth.

Although the youth showed a lot of support, sangat at large was left disappointed at the lack of support from the Management Committee. “The Nagar Keertan is supposed to be for the Sikh community to come together and showcase their skills in Gatka and Keertan,” said a Gatka Ustaad from the Yudh Gatka Akhara martial arts club.

“It’s very important for the youth to celebrate their rich heritage and do proper parchaar. It’s just a waste to have politicians come and give speeches.” Many youth were appalled at the way the committee stopped the Gatka demonstration, even after promising the teams time to do Gatka, the Sikh martial art. “What’s the point of having a Nagar Keertan without Gatka? Speeches are just boring,” said a local youth after the Gatka was cancelled.

After not being given permission to do Gatka in front of the stage the Singhs found their own spot on the side to do Gatka. Once the Management found out about this, they sent security to stop the Singhs from doing Gatka. Even though the Singhs were not allowed to do Gatka they allowed the younger kids to do Gatka so that they would not be disappointed.

100 Sikh protestors arrested, released in Delhi Beadbi Case

Tense situation outside Gurdwara Nanak Pio Sahib. Delhi Police riot control unit patrolling the area.

New Delhi (KP) – The area around Delhi’s Gurdwara Nanak Pio Sahib was tense for the third day, as Sikh residents continued to assemble there to protest a serious sacrilege initiated by a local landlord on a sacred Saroop of Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Up to 100 Sikhs were arrested by the Police for protesting, but were later released.

Earlier this week, a New Delhi Sikh was attacked by neighbors and the Saroop of Guru Granth Sahib in his house was thrown out in the street after the landlord evicted the Sikh’s family from their second floor apartment in the State Bank Colony near Gurdwara Nanak Pio Sahib.

The Sikh’s apartment had already been emptied due to the eviction but Guru Maharaj’s Saroop had not been moved due to a family emergency. But before this Sikh tenant could bring five Singhs to retrieve the Saroop, the Landlord, Ravi Singal, removed the Saroop from the premises and tossed Guru Sahib in the street. The builder along with nearby neighbors, also physically attacked the Sikh, leaving him battered and bruised.

Scene outside Gurdwara Nanak Pio Sahib

As the local Sangat was informed of this attack, hundreds of Sikhs gathered around the complex, and respectfully removed the Sacred Saroop of Guru Sahib. Along with members of the Delhi Sikh Gurdawara Management Committee, they attempted to pressure the local Police to register a FIR complaint against the landlord and local neighbors. The Police declined to take such action against both.

Hundreds of Sikhs have been assembling at Gurdwara Nanak Pio Sahib around the clock to protest the sacrilege against the Sacred Saroop of Guru Sahib. So far no action has been taken by the local Police against the landlord or the neighbors who had roughed up the Sikh tenant.

Khalistan Zindabad we need freedom, self presavation and independence.

Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji thrown out of flat window!

A Attack on Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is a knife wound to every Sikhs heart it will not be tolerated, even if the whole Sikh community has to be murdered by our enemies as a consequence!

SSP saw Akal Takth Jathedar Kaonke 'tortured to death'

Fresh evidence has emerged on the alleged murder of former Akal Takht Jathedar Gurdev Singh Kaonke inside a Jagraon police station, with a serving Senior Superintendent of Police's "eye-witness account" in a new book.

The SSP in a recoreded interview - reproduced by human right activist Ram Narayan Kumar in his book "Terror in Punjab: Narratives, Knowledge and Truth", scheduled for release on April 19 - disclosed how the Sikh priest was "tortured nearly to death" inside Sadar police station in his presence. And how sympathetic cops were humiliated by interrogators, including two senior Punjab Police officers with one of them now as SSP and another on deputation with the Union Government.

He claimed the then SSP of Jagraon, Swaran Singh, decided to kill Kaonke as he wanted to get his transfer deferred. Swaran Singh has denied the charge, saying interviews in a book carry no weight when the Supreme Court has already disposed of all petitions related to the Kaonke case.

The book covers the Punjab conflict with case studeies. While reproducing the transcript of the interview with the SSP, the authro has not disclosed his name. Kumar, who is also Convener of CCDP (Committee for Coordination on Disappearances in Punjab), has been working with Tapan Bose, secretary general of the South Asia Forum for Human Rights (SAFHR), on human rights violations in Punjab and Kashmir over the past few decades.

The SSP says on January 1, 1993 evening, he saw Kaonke being "huddled" on the floor of a cell in Sadar police station. "He had twisted himself into a knot... Immediately, Swaran Singh (the then SSP, Jagraon) had kaonke's blanket removed and DSP Sodhi and another cop, Channan Singh started kicking him. When blood started flowing, Swaran Singh look at me and said" "Twade Jathedar da peshab nikal gaya (Your Jathedar has peed).

A Real Jathedar

I came across this on the internet and reading it, reduced me to tears, thinking what our Gursikh veers and penjis and indeed our Gurus themselves have done to maintain sikhi, to give us the religous freedoms we enjoy today. If only we had a Jathedar like him today in charge of Sri Akal Takhat Today .

In the Jagraon District of Punjab is a very blessed village called Koanke. The Master of Miri Piri, Sahib Siri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji blessed this village stating diamonds would be born from this village. Guru Ji stated this when he rested at the village on his journey to the Sind region. When he stayed at Koanke village, one of its resident Gursikhs, Bhai Hira ji did keertan seva. Guru ji was very moved by the keertan and at this point stated in a 'Bachan' that many more diamonds would be born here.

So it happened, aswell as Bhai Hira Ji, Sardar Sham Singh Attari, the Great Mata Kishen Kaur Koanke, Bhai Gurdev Singh Koanke, and many countless young Gursikhs who have given all to the Sikh struggle, all were born in the village Koanke.

The list of names that stood by the mission and ideologue of Baba Jarnail Singh Bindranwale from this village is long, but one name stands out. That name is Jathedar Gurdev Singh ji.

Bhai Gurdev Singh was born in 1949 in house of Bhai Gurdial Singh and Mata Chand Kaur ji. Bhai sahib`s grandfather was Jathedar Totha Singh, who was a companion of Baba Nand Singh ji of Nanaksar. Hence Gursikhi was a part of the family tradition.

At a young age, Bhai Sahib was blessed with Amrit at the Siri Akal Thakhat Sahib. Bhai Sahib`s worldly education was only up to level 6. However he continued to study in his religious study at the Damdami Taksal. He was tutored by Baba Vir Singh Madoke and Giani Inder Singh Badniwale, both of whom were companions of Baba Gurbachan Singh Khalsa. From here Bhai Sahib began to do seva of katha of Sahib Siri Guru Granth Sahib and Dasam Granth.

Due to the fact that Bhai Sahib inherited considerable land, his family needs were always satisfied, and therefore Bhai sahib always did katha in a Niskam nature.

In 1970, Bhai Sahib`s Anand Karaj to Bibi Gurmel Kaur happened. Before the Anand Karaj, Bibi ji took Amrit and adorned a Keski.

Bhai Sahib was a very strict Gursikh and followed the practice of Gurmat Bibek. This meant that would only eat food prepared by Amritdhari hands. Bhai Sahib was also strict in his Amritvela, rising everyday at 2am. From 2am to 8am, Bhai Sahib would do his Nitnem, and would never speak to anyone during this period. Bhai Sahib was very influenced by Baba Jarnial Singh Bindranwale. Throughout the Dharam Yudh Movement, Bhai Sahib with his whole family would accept imprisonment.

Operation Bluestar in 1984, had a deep impact on Bhai sahib. From this period, Bhai Sahib in his katha openly started condemning Brahmin authorities, and their devious practices. Due to the sincere nature of Bhai Sahibs character, the parchar that Bhai Sahib did had a lot of influence on the sangat. Bhai Sahib was against all types of Gurudoms, santdoms, and as a result of his parchar in the Jagraon area, many deras, businesses of Brahminvad, blind worship and ritualism were eradicated from every village and town.

Due to Bhai Sahib's parchar, the drug ridden area of Jagraon, witnessed many Amrit Sanchars, and kesri dastars and black gatras could be seen everywhere. Once again the Malwa region strangled by drugs, witnessed a Khalsa revolution. At weddings, where previously dirty songs were heard, now Gurbani keertan was heard. In buses, the Bollywood songs were replaced Dhadi Vars and religious songs. Much of this social change was credited to Bhai Gurdev Singh ji.

As a result of this, in January 1986, Bhai Sahib was chosen to the highest Seva in the Khalsa Panth, the Seva of Jathedar of Siri Akal Thakhat Sahib ji.

The times were difficult, but Bhai Sahib did this Seva as a fearless general. Jathedarji`s first action was to remove all the Government agents dressed as Sikh youth jujarhoos from Sri Darbar Sahib. Next, he ensured that the corrupt karkoos who were having langars in their rooms in the Darbar Sahib complex were stopped from doing so, and everyone was made to have langar only in the Guru Ram Dass langar hall. Throughout his period as Jathedar, Bhai Sahib ensured he had only from Guru Ram Dass langar hall to ensure the Maryada of Sangat and Pangat was upheld.

At this time, the Kar Seva (building) of Sri Akal Thakhat Sahib was happening. Jathedar ji took control of the Golak to ensure it would not be siphoned off by unscrupulous characters. Bhai Sahib was completely sympathetic to the Khalistan cause, and felt that the Khalsa needed to fight for its independence. In his lectures, Jathedar ji would say, those who have internal differences, kill innocent Hindus, give threats like gangsters, were traitors to the Sikh struggle and cause. He would often speak about the need for Sikhs to develop a revolutionary spirit.

In his Katha, Jathedarji would often speak against the ills of Punjabi society, and encouraged social change. In his period, he helped thousands of poor girls who were abandoned by their husbands because of the greed of dowry. Bhai Sahib would himself become involved in individual cases and ensure the girls were accepted back into their homes. As a result of this parchar, in the Jagraon area, social ills such as dowry, alcoholism, domestic violence greatly reduced.

Such was the impact of Jathedarji's sincere nature, that the population stopped taking their disputes to courts and police stations. Instead they would come to Koanke village, to Jathedarji, where they felt they would get justice. In disputes, the sweet words of Jathedarji would leave both parties walking away happy.

As a result of this social change, the Police and other Sarkari (government) agents saw their incomes significantly decrease, as the money the received as bribes or extortion from these disputes dried up. They became dangerous enemies of Jathedarji, and started to plot against him.

In 1989, some karkoo Singhs fired on the Ludhiana headquarters of the RSS ( a right-wing Hindu fascist group). Jathedarji`s enemies saw their opportunity. At that time, Ludhiana was under the control of an extremely vicious and brutal SSP called Sumedh Saini. To get Bhai Sahib to admit responsibility for the attack, he was hung upside down, and tortured for many hours.

Then later on, Jathedarji was once again arrested and was falsely implicated in the Bidar attack. However, after one year, Jathedar ji was again released. Then on 19th May 1991, Bhai Sahib was again arrested and tortured. He was imprisoned for another 18 months.

Jathedar ji would never allow the sangat to bail him out and always fought his cases with truth and full faith in Guru Maharaj, which ultimately resulted in his release. In fact, the Government was often forced to admit in court that the charges against him were false. This led to great embarrassment for them. For the mud they slung at Jathedarji, he always came out whiter than white. The population witnessed the difference between the character of the Khalsa Singh and the devious nature of the Brahmin authorities. As a result, the aura of Jathedar Ji`s revolutionary Khalsa character was a huge thorn for the Brahmin agencies.

On 20th December 1992, the cowardly Police forces, at 4am, came to arrest the Lionhearted Jathedar Gurdev Singh. However due to the fact that the body of Bhai Sahib's young nephew lay at his house awaiting preparation for cremation, they had to release Bhai Sahib a few hours later.

Five days later, under the command of Inspector Gurdeep Singh, the Police arrested Jathedarji as he finished Katha at Gurdwara Sahib in the early hours of the morning. Bhai Sahib asked them if he could go home first, and that then he would accompany them. Bhai Sahib walked home, followed by the Police party, and many local villagers. Once he arrived home, Bhai Sahib did 'ishnan' and changed his clothes, and then went and sat in the Jeep. The whole road was filled with villagers. Jathedarji rose to address them. In a sincere manner, he asked the sangat to accept his final "Waheguru ji ke Khalsa, Waheguru ji ke Fateh!!". Jathedarji was aware his time had come, and sweetly accepted the will of Akal. Fearing the wrath of the sangat, the police quickly sped off.

Jathedarji was tortured by the infamous and brutal Head of Jagraon Police Swaran 'Gotna', thus named for his use of the "Gotna" in interrogation. The latter is a large log placed on the legs and rolled up and down them while two policemen stand with their full weight on each end. He was assisted by Harbhagwan Sodhi and Inspector Gurdeep Singh, who today is a DSP in the Punjab Police.Then Jathedarji was further interrogated by CIA staff of Jagraon.

In those days, a rumor spread through the villages of Jagraon. When Swaran 'Gotna' swore at Jathedarji and told him to remove his Kirpan and gatra, Jathedarji in a state of Bir Rass replied, "Stop, who are you threatening?……….this is worn because of the many Great Sacrifices…….. A dog of the Brahmin like you will never understand its value..". A scuffle broke between the two and it took 5-7 commandos to restrain Bhai Sahib. His Kakkars were removed and he was mercilessly beaten and tortured.

Jathedarji kept Gurmat Bibek he would never eat at the Police station. Everyday his family would bring prepared meals for him, but the brutal Police always refused to let him eat, and sent the family away. As a result, Bhai Sahib health decline, but he never compromised his religious principles of Gurmat Bibek.

Hailing from the nearby village Chaharchak, an old Bibi arrived at the Police Station in relation to a case. She saw Bhai Sahib and he was in a very fragile state. At this point, local villagers and Akali Leaders began putting pressure for Jathedarjis release. When local villagers with Akali leader Captain Harcharan Singh Rode met with Police officials, they were told that Bhai Sahib would be charged and sent to prison.

However on 1st January 1993, Swaran Gotna satisfied his taste for revenge. As a result, on the 3rd January 1993, the newly appointed SSP Harinder Chahal stated to newspapers that Bhai Sahib was leading them to a cache of arms used by militants, when on the way they were attacked. He said Bhai Sahib had escaped. However everyone knew that these stories by Punjab Police were always made up. In reality, Bhai Sahib became Shaheed on 1st January and was thrown into a river.

Anger grew throughout Punjab as the news of Jathedarji`s Shaheedi spread. Panthic Leaders throughout the world gathered at the bhog. However the Police and Army sealed off Koanke village. The cameras of the attending members of the press were confiscated and destroyed. Akali leaders in attendance were beaten with lathis (wooden poles). Even the highly suspect Akali leader Parkash Badal demanded an investigation into the murder of Jathedarji, but decades later, nothing has materialized. Whenever Bhai Sahib family raised the issue, many more innocents became victims of Police excesses. Through infiltration by shady elements, the use fear tactics, threats, and bribery, the case is always held up or shelved.

Even Jathedarsji`s young son, Hari Singh was not spared. A false case of a bombing was placed on him, even though on that day he was at school. Because the registrar confirmed his attendance, it eventually led to his release. Bhai Sahib`s elder son, Bhai Ram Singh was also picked up and tortured by Police on many occasions.

The Akali party fought the next election stating it would investigate the period of 1984 onwards and produce a white paper. It won the election by an overwhelmimg landslide, but Badal soon forgot every promise and used his time to expand his own wealth.

When Bhai Sahib's family approached the Akhali party for a full investigation, Police Officer Tiwari held an investigation. However just as what happened to the report on the investigation of the murder of the 13 Singhs in 1978, the murder report of Bhai Sahib mysteriously disappeared somewhere in Badals administration and was never seen again.

The Sateeks are made up of 6 Potheeyaa from Jaaap Sahib to the Hikaeyatan. They also contain answers to many questions which arise about Sri Dasam Granth Sahib, as well as going into deep vichar of each specific Baani.

So far with the Grace of Akaal Purakh and Satguru Ji 4 potheeyaa have been printed and published, however there are two potheeyaa left to be printed and published still. Dassan daas does a humble benti before the Guru-Roop Sadhsangat to unite and fund this historic project which will create more knowledge, understanding and awareness of the Amrit-roop Gurbani of Sri Dasam Granth Sahib in the Khalsa Panth. These sateeks will be vital in the oncoming years to understand Sri Dasam Granth Sahib and to clear up misconceptions and confusions which some factions have regarding Sri Dasam Granth Sahib

Sikhi Stance On Homosexuality!

Sikhi teaches the path of truthful living and righteousness. The definition of truthful living is when you live a life according to Gods will. When one is corrupted by darkness and evil desires they live a life based on sin. Sikhs do not even cut their hair as they believe the hair have been put their according to Gods will. Anyone with common sense will know that God has created man and women to reproduce, this is a law of nature and a design of Gods will. Homosexaulity is against the will of God, in the same way as cutting ones hair is to a Sikh. Homosexuality is illegal amongst Sikh ethics and the Sikh code of conduct. The doors of the Gurdwara are open to anyone without any discrimination, but Sikh institutes will not carry out:

1: The Sikh initiation (Amrit ceremony) of a Homosexual person who refuses to stop having homosexual relationships after Amrit.

2: A Homosexual wedding.

3: Recommend the adoption or fostering of Sikh children to Homosexual couples.

The above three situations are there to protect Sikh ethics; any institute going against these is breaking the code of Sikh ethics.

In Sikhi Homosexuality is seen as devil like behaviour, although Sikhs do not see as a crime like some other religions. A person has the right to do what they want behind closed doors. But Sikhi in general does see homosexuality as a form of Maya (illusion) which keeps one away from Gods will. Homosexuality is defiantly seen as a form of Anti-Social behaviour by the Sikh religion. Gurbani tells us that evil instincts that lead us away from God are caused by the uncontrolled mind and dark energies within us. If a person does not meditate on God, this uncontrolled mind just keeps on increasing in its path of corruption and filthy desires.

This leaflet is not intended to offend homosexuals, but it is giving the honest view of homosexuality by the Sikh religion.

The love of Maya is enticing; without teeth, it has eaten up the world. The self-willed manmukhs are eaten away, while the Gurmukhs are saved; they focus their consciousness on the True Name. Without the Name, the world wanders around insane; the Gurmukhs come to see this. Ang 643 Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

Everything else is false. Whatever pleases Your Will is acceptable. Ang 16 Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

The blind have forgotten the Naam, the Name of the Lord. The self-willed manmukhs are in utter darkness. Ang 19 Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

O Nanak, the Boat of Truth will ferry you across; contemplate the Guru. Ang 20 Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

The Gurmukh knows the Divine Light, while the foolish self-willed manmukh gropes around in the darkness. Ang 20 Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

She has neither modesty or self-discipline; the self-willed manmukh constantly tells lies, and is ruined by the bad karma of evil deeds. Ang 786 Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

Hindu Man wants 1984 to happen in Canada

This guy called Ron Bannerjee representing an RSS supporting group called Hindu Conference of Canada has said on a website the following

Post 1:

We will work hard to expose Khalistan terrorism and the cost to Canada of (Khalistan) Sikh immigration. Thank you for your touching concern about our energies and where we choose to expend it.

Despite your advice, we choose to devote some reources to this Khalistan Sikh terrorist problem, in keeping with our goals of protecting and preserving Canadian freedom and democracy. It is part of our mandate, you see.

And BTW, [i]Sikhs lost the wars to the Mughals..the Mughals in fact had control of all North India including Punjab, and were unable to penetrate the Hindu South Idnian heartland. The Mughals fell with the arrival of the British, not because of any Sikh action.

Thank you for your concern for our welfare.[/i]

Post2:
The Hindu Conference of Canada will work hard to publicize not only the terrorist acts of Khalistani Sikhs, but also the role of Khalistan Sikhs in the continuous beating and killing of women and chiildren of their own community in BC...the gang violence and shootings in Vancouver inspired by Khalistan Sikh elements...and the role of these Sikhs in blocking the deportation of Laibar Singh and other Sikhs illegally in Canada.

Look forward also to financial reports released ... which reveal the cost to Canadian taxpayers

If the DARBAR temple has the right to display KHALISTAN TERRORIST signs, the Hindu Conference of Canada also has the right to expose and highlight the havoc that KHALISTAN SIKHS are wreaking in Canada. And posting on National Post blogs and writing letters to paper editors, interviews on TV, etc, are just part of our toolset.

If the DARBAR and other Sikh temples/parades continue to promote Khalistan, we will, in fact, use other (legitimate and democratic) methods ... to show Canadians what Khalistan monsters are in our midst.

There are other democratic, legitimate means that we have not even used yet...that we will use unless this situation gets resolved


Post 3.
To clarify, the Hindu Conference of Canada supports extensive police investigations into Sikh temples where terrorist ideologies are being preached and terrorist icons are being displayed. All such temples must, following investigation, be shut down for national security purposes... and because of the presence of possible terrorist forces in the premises, armed police and military must be used in the enforcement of these judicial orders. Canada must follow the example of democratic India, where in 1984 the Army was used to liberate the Golden Temple in Amritsar from Sikh terrorist forces...following extensive investigations and legitimate approval from the courts.

We hope to see a just replication of the 1984 Golden Temple action by Canadian military forces here in Canada. As a suspected site of terrorist activity, this Darbar must be a prime target in such investigations and possible follow-up military action.

Post4.
Khalistan terrorist supporters infesting a National Post blog? The Hindu Conference of Canada represents and supports justice regardless of political affiliation. We hail & support Indira Gandhi's heroic assault on Khalistan terrorists, and the Indian Army's wonderful liberation of the Golden Temple in 1984. Indira and her Congress were always opposed by Modi and the BJP...so sorry, Singh, your spurious allegation that we 'represent' a particular political view or party is false.

We support all anti-terrorist acts, whether it be Indira's Congress govt heroically crushing Sikh terrorism or the Modi administration defeating Muslim terrorists. When the Congress party is correct (as in the 1984 assault on Sikh terrorists), we support Congress; when the BJP takes the correct path, we support them. We are always on the side of justice and righteous conduct, independent of political affiliation.

That's why the Hindu Conference of Canada is the sole Canadian Hindu advocacy...reflecting the moderate mainstream views of Canada.

You should know, Mr Singh, that we support the closing down of Ontario Khalsa Durbar and many other Sikh temples in Canada. And we are lobbying the govt to do just that. Real Canadians will no longer tolerate the presence of these hate factories in our midst for long. The Canadian military will at some point enter this Darbar, just as the Indian Army entered and purified the Golden Temple.

Post5. LATEST
Premier McGuinty visited India on a taxpayer funded junket, which focussed on PUNJAB (where Sikhs come from) and PAKISTAN ... two regions which supply lots of immigrants (and terrorists) to Canada. McGuinty went there to curry votes from the Sikh and Muslim communities, camouflaging it as a 'trade mission'. Another multi-million dollar Liberal waste of taxpayer funds.

If Canadians were serious about bizness opportunities in India, we would go to GUJURAT, the most advanced, well-governed, and prosperous region. Not many GUJURATI immigrants here, though: they're so rich they dont need to come to Canada! Sorry, Liberals, no vote-banks...so no trade missions, right??

VIEW OF A SIKH BELOW

'''Hindu conference of Canada which represents the fascist right wing and rabidly communal and terrorist organization like RSS has the gall to suggest that freedom and justice loving Sikhs are some how terrorists. These Hindus were slaves for 800 years and it is the tremendous sacrifices of the Sikhs that freed them. But true to their character they betrayed the Sikhs and now are responsible for brutal and cunning occupation of Sikh nation.

The favorite hero of these terrorist organizations is Gurat Chief Minister Modi responsible for the mass murder, gang rape and burning of thousands of innocent people. He is also the national mascot of India.

I am also surprised how the western media has been very effectively brain washed by the Hindu propaganda machines. Jonathan Kay's description of Khalsa Ontario Darbar is half baked and totally lacks the perspective. Since when demanding freedom for your people has become criminal?? Since when has a few posters become so objectionable?? Canada needs to explain why RAJIV GANDHI - a mass murderer who murdered tens of thousands of innocent Sikhs in New Delhi and the rest of India in 1984 was allowed to enter Canada and address the parliament and be honored by our country's leadership.''
