Do not be a skank

Do not turn your back on the Sikh Victims – Do the honourable thing!

If a Singer raped your child, would you wear their top and still listen to their music? The answer is no, as a protest to the Singers act many more would turn their backs on this singer. That’s would be the honourable thing to do dough?

So why is it that we so called Sikhs wear the tops of our oppressors?

On October 31, 198, Indira Ghandi was assassinated by her two Sikh security guards as payback for all the atrocities she had committed and as prevention to prevent her from committing the atrocities she had planned. Even dough one of the assassins was shot dead on the spot and the other taken into custody. Anti Sikh Murder squads killed thousands of Sikhs.

Sikhs were beaten, stabbed, doused in kerosene and burned alive by mobs, thousands of Sikhs were made homeless and jobless less as there shops and homes were reduced to ashes. 330 Gurdwaras were burnt and Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Saroops were desecrated in many violating situations.

The slaughter of Sikhs took place throughout India; the main target was the trains heading to Punjab.

Many of the organizers of these anti-Sikh military like pogroms have been identified as politicians at the highest levels of the Indian government. These individuals roam free even today and continue to participate in elections. No attempt has ever been made by the Indian government to bring them to justice.

“The bodies beside the track were all Sikhs, some had been burned alive others were beaten to death. The Sikhs were pulled from trains by a Hindu mob outside New Delhi to face a slow death” – Daily Mail November 3 1984

For the first time in history of mob violence in India, a systematic attack was made on places of worship. Of about 450 Gurdwaras in Dehli, some three quarters were reported to have been damaged or destroyed.

More than 60,000 Sikhs were rendered homeless in Delhi alone and became refuges in their own country. – Report of the citizen’s commission

Days of violence, loot and murder left the national capital dazed, reeling from an unprecedented holocaust. The pattern was nauseatingly repeated everywhere. Spontaneous arson and destruction at first taken by criminally led hoodlums who killed Sikhs, looted or burnt homes and properties while the police twiddled their thumbs. – India today November 15^th 1984

An eyewitness account revealed that a Sikh was being pursued by a mob, attempting to save his life he climbed into a police jeep. But he was thrown out by the police to the attacking mob and was killed on the spot. – Manushi November 1984

Police officers stood by and watched arson, rape, looting and murder without making any attempt to intervene to protect citizens belonging to the Sikh minority. They did not stop the attackers or call for reinforcements or even other support such as the fire brigade. – Report – who are the guilty?

CURRENT SITAUTION

Human rights violations and atrocities continue to occur towards minority groups all over India including the areas of Punjab, Kashmir, Tamil Nadu, Assam, Nagaland and much more.

Freedoms we take for granted are non existent for citizens of this so called democratic country.

As a Sikh do not wear the Indian colour or an Indian team top, they are the symbols of our oppressors!

Propercies Made By Sri Guru Nanak Dev JI

The Karni Namah and the Raj Namah are two significant chapters of the Sau Sakhi, the Sikh book of prophecy. The Raj Namah appears in, The History of the Sikhs, by J D Cunningham on p. 340. Cunningham came across this document during the mid 19^th century. He states that these compositions are of course fabulous as regards Guru Nanak.

The Karni Namah was told to Qazi Rukan Din, Pir Bahaoud Din, Ghous, Kuthab, Saalaar, Hajji, Sheikh and Mushaikh Aulviya, who sat with Guru Nanak at religious discussions. The Raj Namah was told to Kaarun, on Guru Nanak’s return from medina.

Karni Namah

While Guru Nanak was in Mecca and Medina, Qazi Rukan Din asked? True King; tell us your prophecy again. Tell us how you will unfold the future? Your name is Nanak Nirankari and you are from the Nation of the Lord. What are the instructions for the future? Nanak replied Rukan Din, listen to the true answer whosoever reads or listens to this shall be content. All doubts shall be removed.

In the tenth dress shall reside The Lord.

I shall fight many battles against Emperor Aurangzeb.

I shall then send a letter of victory (Zafarnamah) to Aurangzeb with my Singh (Bhai Daya Singh).

Upon seeing him, Power shall lessen and he shall forget his devious ways.

Emperor Aurangzeb will be overwhelmed by the sight of Daya Singh and will start to tremble.

The Khalsa been resurrected! Good has not been done by Gobind Singh?

I shall leave having given a kingdom; My name being Gobind

There will be a time when the Khalsa shall forget the teachings I have given them. Sikhi will only be left in name. Many Wars shall occur.

I will have to return again to resurrect the Khalsa. They shall reside in the Punjab.

I shall make people from all four corners into one.

They will be in Majjha; They will raid Lahore.

They will bring Potohaar to justice; They will take Peshawar.

They will set up a cantonment at Attock and then open the Khyber Pass.

They will establish a kingdom in Kabul and then take Ghazni.

After bringing Hazaara to justice they will march on to Kandahar.

After taking Balack and Buckaara, they will conquer Sindh and Baloch.

After gaining victory over these lands they shall govern all the people.

Mecca, Medina and Rome shall tremble.

They shall gain victory in battle over south and west India.

The Guru’s Army shall sit at the throne of Delhi.

Umbrellas of kingship shall sway over their heads. All shall be content.

From East to West all shall be conquered. None shall challenge the Khalsa. All humanity shall become one.

In the kingdom of the True King, Satjug shall be established.

The Khalsa Panth shall rule. The arrows of death shall not touch them.

The Army of the Timeless shall grow and spread like locusts.

All shall wear vestments of blue; no one else shall be seen.

Listen Qazi Rukan Din, The Singhs shall rule.

The Unholy Sheikhs shall be destroyed. Pirs and Mureeds shall be no more.

All shall recite the one name of the Lord. Then he shall come himself.

The untrue shall not be able to see his glory.

All humanity shall unite and he will distribute provinces.

The Earth shall give food and the mountains shall give diamonds.

Fruits of many kinds there shall be, upon the sight of the timeless.

All shall recite VAHEGURU and achieve salvation.

Many Dharamsalas (places of discussion) shall exist. The Koran and the Mosques shall vanish.

The Lord shall manifest himself in body (as man).

He will make all utter VAHEGURU. All Singhs shall flock under his banner.

All shall know him as the True One. He will sit at the throne of Delhi.

He will establish a kingdom of peace and no enemies will remain.

Wherever the Khalsa turns his eye, the 14 realms shall tremble.

For 14,000 years, this kingdom shall remain.

Wealth will be collected and food shall be distributed.

The naked and the starving shall all receive; no one will go without.

Sayeth Nanak, Rukan Din, This is how it shall be.

Whosoever reads the Karni Namah, his love with The Lord shall grow.

The Word of the Timeless shall prevail. Those uttering falsehood shall not remain.

After the effect of The Akaal, forests, mountains and the world shall see salvation.

The Khalsa shall Rule. There will be no-one left to oppose them.

All who are lost shall gain the safety of the Khalsa

Raj Namah

Spoken by the First Master

First, Nanak went to Mecca;

Medina he afterwards visited.

The lord of Mecca and Medina,

Kaarun, he made his disciple.

When Nanak was about to depart,

Kaarun, the fortunate, thus spoke:

Now thou art about to go,

But when wilt thou return?

Then the Guru thus answered:

When I put on my tenth dress

I shall be called Gobind Singh;

Then shall all Singhs wear their hair;

They shall accept the 'Pahal' of the two-edged Sword

Then shall the Khalsa be established;

Then shall men exclaim 'Vaheguru'

The four races shall become one and the same;

The five weapons shall be worn by all.

In Kalyug they shall array themselves in vestments of blue;

The name of the Khalsa shall be everywhere.

In the time of Aurangzeb

The wondrous Khalsa shall arise.

Then shall battles be waged,

Endless war shall ensue,

And fighting shall follow year after year.

They shall place the name of Gobind Singh in their hearts.

When many heads shall be rendered up,

The Empire of the Khalsa shall prevail.

First, they shall conquer Punjab;

Then other countries shall be theirs;

Hindustan and the North shall be possessed by them;

Then the west shall bow to them.

When they enter Khorasan,

Kabul and Kandahar shall lie low.

When Iran has been laid prostrate,

Arabia shall be conquered and they shall march on to Mecca.

Mecca shall be beheld,

And Medina shall be seized.

Mighty shall be the rejoicing,

And all shall exclaim 'Vaheguru'.

Unbelievers shall everywhere be destroyed;

The holy Khalsa shall be exalted.

Beasts and Birds shall tremble in the presence of the Lord.

Men and Women shall everywhere call on God.

The Earth, the Oceans and the Heavens shall call on God.

By calling on the Guru shall men be blessed.

Every faith shall become of the Khalsa;

No other religion will remain.

'Vaheguru' shall everywhere be repeated,

And pain and trouble shall depart.

In the Kalyug shall the Kingdom be established,

Which Nanak received from the Lord.

Worthless, I fall before God;

Nanak, the slave, cannot comprehend the ways of the Lord.

Thus replied Nanak to Kaarun's question.

Akal Takht Sahib Officially Bans Same-Sex Marriages for Sikhs

Friday 10th of July 2009

Panthic Weekly News Bureau

AMRITSAR SAHIB (KP)—Following a request by SGPC President Avtar Makkar to comment on the recent legalization of gay marriages in India, Giani Gurbachan Singh, after holding a meeting at Akal Takht Sahib, announced such marriages to be in contradiction to Gurmat. As reported by the Panthic Weekly in last week’s edition, gay marriages were legalized by Delhi’s High Court but Sikh leadership raised concerns over the passing of such laws.

While passing a sandesh to the Sikh Community living in Punjab and worldwide, Giani Gurbachan Singh stated that no Gurdwara should allow persons of the same sex to get married as per the ceremony of Anand Karaj. Any Gurdwara partaking in such wrong-doing would have to face serious consequences.

In the meeting that was held this past Wednesday, Giani Gurbachan Singh acknowledged that gay marriages were not in accordance to the teachings of Guru Granth Sahib. The Sikh religion promotes gristhi jeevan between a man and woman, with the sole emphasis having been laid on meditation and selfless service. In a Sikh lifestyle, lust and attachment have no place.

Giani Gurbachan Singh also appealed to Sikh families worldwide to not tolerate such things in their families and households. Such problems should be dealt with proper care, said Giani Gurbachan Singh while announcing the sandesh to the press.

The need for a UK Gurdwara regulation committee

A lot of Gurdwaras in the UK are committing Anti-Gurmat activities, there needs to be a legitimate committee set up who has the power and support of the Akal Thakt.

The committee should go to Gurdwaras across the UK and look at safety regulations such as fire and theft prevention.

The state of Suckhand should be checked to see whether it is in a respect manner.

Security issues, such as CCTV, and security guards etc should be looked at as Gurdwars across the UK have become targets of racial abuse.

The Gyanis that work and serve the UK sangat should be regulated by this board, due to the soaring increase in the cases of sexual assault on women and kids by gyanis. These are normally swept under the mat and the gyani is moved on to another Gurdwara in a next town. The sangat there will have no information on the dangers posed by the gyani, until is too late. Every gyani working in the UK should have a I.D card and must have a written report or references when moving from Gurdwara to Gurdwara (like we do when we move jobs or schools)

Why is the Sikh Community in the UK so behind and not using common sense to safeguard our future? These are just small minor deterrents and principals to help us. In the UK we have made money but lost our Sikhi, the Gurdwara for most has become a formality. Violations of the Sikh code of conduct within Gurdwaras are increasing at an alarming rate.

Burning Gurdwaras a Reason for Change

Many Sikhs around the world have heard about the recent arson attack and fires at Gurdwaras in the UK. Tragedies at Gurdwaras in the west in recent years are a black mark on the Sikhs living outside of India. Another memorable time when there was strong disrespect of Guru Granth Sahib was in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina when the New Orleans Gurdwara was flooded and saroops of Guru Granth Sahib Ji were left in the locked sukhasan room as it flooded to the ceiling with sewage.

These incidents are proof that the Sikh community still has not organized in such a way as they cannot even protect the honor of their living Guru and the king of kings from simple natural disasters. This is something that should be on the minds of all Sikhs—respect for their lord and master and ensuring that even by accident, such disrespect cannot happen.

What is the solution?

Some simple solutions that the Respect for Guru Granth Sahib Campaign, North America, has proposed is as simple as having dry sprinklers with fire retardant foam in Sukhasan rooms and Darbar halls. This foam is already used in libraries and would ensure fire does not go near Guru Sahib while also keeping Guru Sahib safe and dry. A part of this is also fire retardant cloth and materials used in construction and decoration.

Another solution is that all Gurdwaras have an evacuation plan to ensure that Guru Sahib's saroops are removed safely along with all occupants of the Gurdwara in an emergency. An evacuation plan includes having escape routes mapped out along with clear duties for Granthis/Raagis who are near the Sukhasan rooms or Darbar halls and can safely take Guru Sahib's saroops outside of the Gurdwara respectfully.

A Gurdwara should have a man guarding the main entrance from when it opens until it closes. Alot of students are looking for part-time work. Alot of singhs are out of work, somebody that has the capabilty should organise a security company and get contracts from guru ghars. It is harder to steal from wh Smith (because of security) then is was for the bow attacker to set fire to the Gurdwara.

These two simple solutions will ensure that sangat does not realize a horrible tragedy with respect to Guru Sahib if the Gurdwara building were to burn down or flood. Recent incidents are a good wake up call to committees and sangats worldwide to take these proposals seriously.

Sri Guru Hargobind JI’s Mission

When the ceremony to become the 6^th Guru was taking place, Guru hargobind sahib asked Baba Buddha Ji for 2 swords – Miri & piri. One for temporal power & the other for spiritual power. One to protect innocent down trodden people and the other to defeat oppressors.

In 1606 Guru Hargobind sahib constructed the Akal Thakt infront of Sri harimander Sahib. There they sat on a throne raised 12 feet off the ground, dressed as the king of Kings. Wearing a kalgi and the two swords. Sri harimander Sahib was the seat of spiritual authority and the Akal Thakt (Gods throne) was the seat of temporal Authority.

Guru hargobind Sahib asked all the Sikhs to bring horses and weapons (shasters) to the darbar. They introduced shaster vidya to the Sikhs and told them that the Sikhs must defend themselves and the weak. They built an army of over 1000 Sikhs.

Sitting on a throne wearing a kalgi, building and training an army, were things that only the mughals and Hindu rajas were allowed to do. But Guru hargobind Sahib went out of their way to do these to prove that the Sikhs of Guru Nanak Dev Ji were saint soldiers.

Throughout history wars and battles have always been fought for land, money and women. However Guru Hargobind Ji fought 4 battles in self defence (they never attacked first) all the wars were fought for righteousness and justice. Guru ji was victorious in all the battles with Wahegurus blessings.

By establishing the Akal Thakt, Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji gave the Sikhs sovereignty. He created a state within a state.

Mata Ganga Ji & Baba Buddha Ji

One day Mata Ganga Ji did a benti to her husband Guru Arjan Dev Ji, that just as they bless the sangat with everything they wanted, could they not bless her with a child.

Although Guru Arjan Dev Ji were the Guru themselves they replied to Mata Ganga Ji that if she wants anything she should do the seva of a great Gursikh.

Mata Ganga Ji thought the greatest Gursikh she knew was “Baba Buddha Ji” he was very wise as he had been doing seva since the time of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji.

The next day Mata ji got her servants to prepare a great feast of several dishes, she got dressed in very expensive beautiful clothes, she got together a band of musicians, and they marched to where Baba Buddha Ji was, Mata Jee was riding on a horse, everyone else was walking.

However, when Baba Buddha Jee saw this royal pump, they turned their head away from Mata Ganga Ji.

When Mata Ji asked Guru Arjan Dev Ji, why this had happened, they explained to her that when you are blessed with any kind of seva, you must do it with humility. You must lose your ego and do it in a way which pleases God. Not in the way we might like to.

Mata ganga Ji was a very blessed person and she recognised what Guru Ji was trying to teach her. So the next day she woke up at Amrit Vela, had a bath and wore simple clothing with no jewellery or make up. She made a very simple langar of roti and saag for Baba Buddha Ji. From the moment she woke up she recited SATNAAM WAHEGURU and did not speak a word to anyone.

She then left carrying the langar by herself for the place where Baba Buddha Ji was.

Once Baba Buddha Jee saw Mata ganga Ji, bringing the Langar in this way, he ran towards her and said “Oh Mother, I am so happy you have brought food, I cannot wait to eat the langar cooked by your dear hands.

Mata Ji immediately started serving the Langar to Baba Buddha Ji. Whilst eating Baba Ji picked up a onion and smacked in on the ground and said “that just like i have smashed this onion, you will have a son that will smash the heads of tyrants”

On hearing this Mata ganga Ji was very happy.

The moral of the Sakhi is that today if we were to do Guru Ji’s or the sadhsangats seva in the same way Mata Ji did (without ego we too would be blessed by Waheguru)
