| | After many days or weeks, the Singhs realised that the time for embracing Sant Hira Singh jee had arrived. They organised an amrit sinchaar and subpeonoed Sant Hira Singh jee. Bhai Sahib Randhir Singh jee has written what happened inside, very beautifully. Basically, the Punj Pyaaray made him realise that he had lost all his spiritual state because he had started giving naam and technique all alone. They said that this was the sole right of the Punj Pyaaray and no one else had any right to give naam. Sant Hira Singh jee repented his mistake and within moments, his spiritual state came back. He was back in his old spiritual state in no time. Looks like competition is on ! Mistake is realized, power came back like electricity. What a imaginative brain ! I would never like to waste my time on such stories !

| | Singhbj ji,
I shall be thankful if you could very kindly tell the year/approximate only as to when the above incident might have taken place. We do not hear of spiritual achievements of this kind in recent days.

| | Quote: Quote "The tuk you shared only states Har Naam or Lord's Name. It does not state Gurmantara is Har and isn't Vaheguru." Did Gurdev ever say that Vaheguru is Gurmantar?
I have never heard Gurdev saying so.
Please listen. Gurdev is explaining precisely. hmry hir jgjIvnw hir jipE hir gur mMq ] hmry hir jgjIvnw hir jipAo hir gur mNq ]
hamray hari jagjeevanaa hari japi-o hari gur mant. SGGS 1315-6
Quote "I base my understanding of Vaheguru as Gurmantar first on instructions of the Panj Piare when I was amrit chakk. Secondly on the Vaaran of Bhair Gurdas Ji. Third on the tradition and history of the Khalsa Panth. Fourth on the fateh I was given when I was amrit chakk . . ."
This is why true Guroo's Sikhs are rare. Rehit Naamee Sikhs are very much. | Just as the tradition states Dasam Pita Ji gave gurgaddi to Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji AND to Khalsa Panth via roop of Guru Panj Piare, so I accept that Guru Panj Piare are sargun Saroop of Guruji, and not some individual opinion which goes contrary to accepted Panthic authority.
You have created a new slur against the legitimacy of the Khalsa Panth with rehitnamay Sikhs. But there is in truth only one Sikh and that is the one in submission to Guruji's own hukam and not deluded with opinions of one's own interpretive self-importance. Are you also suggesting that Khande Ki Pahul, and the rehitnamay of a Khalsa are fabrications and not distilled from the remembered instructions of Dasam Pita Ji and faithfully retained in rehitnamay? Since Dasam Pitaji was murdered and did not even record the events of Baisaikhi in His own hand, how do you even know that Gurgaddhi belongs to Shri Guru Granth? If you don't accept the Khalsa tradition and supportive sources, you have nothing but personal presumption. Quote: A close associate of Guru Gobind Singh and author of Rehit-nama, Prahlad Singh, recorded the Guru's commandment saying "With the order of the Eternal Lord has been established [Sikh] Panth: all the Sikhs hereby are commanded to obey the Granth as their Guru".(Rehat-nama, Bhai Prahlad Singh)[15] Similarly Chaupa Singh, another associate of Guru Gobind Singh, has mentioned this commandment in his Rehat-nama. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guru_Granth_Sahib | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waheguru

Guru Granth Sahib - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Why some Sikhs have started following hearsay? | Quote:
Quote "But there is in truth only one Sikh and that is the one in submission to Guruji's own hukam and not deluded with opinions of one's own interpretive self-importance." Strange. The reverend Gurus never talk about their own Hukam. They talk and follow always Lord's Hukam.
Who are the teachers of today's Sikhs?
Quote "Are you also suggesting that Khande Ki Pahul, and the rehitnamay of a Khalsa are fabrications . . ." Please come to know true Naam Simran and find it yourself. | Quote:
Quote "Since Dasam Pitaji was murdered and did not even record the events of Baisaikhi in His own hand, how do you even know that Gurgaddhi belongs to Shri Guru Granth?" I cannot imagine that Gurdev was waiting to write these incidents one day and demised suddenly.
Quote "If you don't accept the Khalsa tradition and supportive sources, you have nothing but personal presumption." It is the great bliss to realize that Gurdev did not accept the Brahmin tradition and their supportive sources. Gurdev's personal experiences of Truth caused Them merging in HIM. | Quote: Wikipedia information may be the guide to move around Truth.
Enlightened persons do not need wikipedia to realize Truth.
Truth lies in the Center within. | Your arrogance will be your own undoing. If you are not a Sikh and do not recognize as legitimate Sikh institutions such as Khalsa Panth, Rehitnamay, the Sikh Takhts, Akal Takht, Panj Piare, then how can you be a Sikh? Aren't you studying from teachings of Tantric Master Osho? Is this where you get the notion that all Sikhs are inferior spiritually to your presumptions of non-conformity to legitimate and recognized Sikh teaching? If you don't recognize and follow hukam of Guru than you are the one who is nigura.

| | The only sane way to deal with Archived_member2 is with calmness. There is no other way.
Because if one looses his head talking too harshly (yet to happen) then Moderators come into the picture.  |

| Indeed his comments against rehitnamee Sikhs as being without Naam, against authority of Shri Akal Takht Sahib Ji, against Khalsa rehitnamas and accepted teachings of Khalsa Panth
these are NOT talking to harshly against Sikh religion? And it is only responses which he has deliberately provoked with invalidation of basis of Sikh belief which would be construed as harshness? That seems rather biased in favor of the person slandering Sikhs who kept rehit and trust the legitimacy of Sikh institutions. So you allow attacks against, but moderate responses to?

I will not hesitate to resort to the same if the need arises.
Harjas Ji, you may highlight the points which Archived_member2 evades answering or gives wrong answers to. But if Archived_member2 can support his answers with relevant bani quotes, then he is not flaming sentiments. In the past, Pk70 has brought up arguments which reveal Archived_member2's answers as evasive and he explains how.
From your posts and Archived_member2's post, there are a number of questionable objections which should have been raised but I am surprised no one paid any attention to them. I hope you will go thru them again and point them out.
It's a learning process and good reminders to all : not to fall for such unreasonable logic. |

| | Quote: | The so-called Rehitnaamays suggest something else than that the true Gurus suggest. | Quote: | Please beware of Baabaas (fathers, spiritual elders) and Beebees (sisters) without true Naam (rehit-naamees). | I have no interest in a debate which sole context is personal insult. I don't care how much Gurbani someone is quoting. I enjoy discussing points of religious understanding WITHOUT resorting to personal insults or having the same thrown at me. But it seems very hard to find such constructive discussions, and these are among the lowest common denominator intended to provoke resentment and rejection and not understanding. My opinion of course.
Discussions about points of disagreement are a learning process. Arguments and put downs are just an insult. And to be insulting others while distorting Gurbani to do it would seem more likely to lead to negative spiritual growth than positive.
I have certainly heard of a lot of fake babas, but rarely have I heard that a Sikh bibi was fake because she follows rehitnama. This whole discussion is ridiculous.

Some moderators had the similar chance.
Some other forums just do not publish my posts. They are worried losing their business and customers.
They may not be knowing that also their children are visiting the Sikh Philosophy dot net forum to listen and understand the flute of Bansurivala, the divine tunes of the true Gurus.
Archived_member2 | Archived_member2ji,
If you really believe the above, then we must not be that worthless a lot of moderators after all. Anyway I'm enjoying this debate very much.
