[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 49341, member: 189"] [b]Re: 13 reason for : "Why I am a Sikh"[/b] Dear PCJS Ji, Gurfateh. The example of the church is to illustrate a point..not imply that the person is a christian. The SRM says that ONLY a SIKH can do Kirtan/Katha/Paath/Akhand Paath Raol/Take Hukmnama and perform ARDASS for SANGAT. A SIKH for this purpose is one who Beleives in One Akal purakh, the Ten Gurus, Sri Guru Garanth sahib jee, and follows the TEACHINGS of the Gurus and the Gurbani of SGGS and the Amrit of Sri Dasmesh ji and DOESNOT beleive in any OTHER RELIGION. This is NOT discriminatory or "not fair". Discrimination and fairness doesnt come into play here..why would a SIKH SANGAT stand by quietly while a "bhai Chamnlall" or a Bhai Mansoodpuria" or Bhai Gangasagar ji..or a "Sheikh Ramzan" wants to do KIRTAN ( this is not just a MUSIC SHOW to ENTERTAIN..BUT an effort to MERGE SANGAT WITH the GURU...in Guru nanak ji and Bhai mardana Ji it is GURU NANAK JI HIMSELF doing Kirtan of GURBANI !!! Guru Ji didnt allow just about any "MARASSII" to play the rebab while He was Doing KIRTAN !!! Marassees who were EXPERTS at the Rebab must have been a Dime a DOZEN in Guru Jis time ( just like people who can play the waja/tabla now)..BUT it is ALWAYS only Bhai MARDANA JI with Guru Ji...no one else at any time..what does this PROVE ?? it doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure this out ) and then When Bhai mardana DIES..Guru nanak Ji says in Gurbani in SGGS..Tuttee Tand Rebab ki...the "string" of MY REBAB is broken !! THAT CLOSE and LOVING was the relationship of Guru nank Ji with Bhai mardana Ji.....today we have his descendants who cannot stop SMOKING, Cut their Hair and claim they are MUSLIMS..BUT who want to Do KIRTAN in SIKH SANGAT just by virtue of being descended from Bhai mardana ji...what Bhai Mardaana Ji did to deserve a Gurbani SHABAD by Guru Ji doesnt count for Zilch to them !!! On KATHA..which is to EXPLAIN GURBANI..can a Bhai Chamanlall who is not even a SIKH..explain GURBANI to the SIKH SANGAT who are there to "connect" to their GURU ?? When the Paath or Hukmnama is being taken.its the GURU who is speaking to the SIKH SANGAT...is it possible to force the GURU to speak through a person who is not a SIKH ?? WHY ?? is it because there are NO SIKHS in the SIKH SANGAT ?? Can the SIKH SANGAT stand by and request a Non-SIKh to Perform an ARDASS for the SIKHS ?? again why ?? The Sikh sangat wants to do ardass to their GURU..but a Non-Sikh has to be the INTERMEDIARY ?? its like me asking my friend or classmate to talk to my father about my allowance !! when my friend doesnt "know" or beleive in my father and has no interest in Him. Bhai Chamanlall took "amrit" and became a SINGH. Thats his choice. IF by his actions and behaviour he had shown and proven that he was a SIKH..he wouldnt be agaisnt the SRM by doing kirtan. I dont for a moment assume that 100% of ALL the Ragis and Kirtaniyas are "Amrtidharees" - no such restriction is in the SRM....BUT they are all SIKHS if they hold to the sharataan in the SRM. The SRM only says a "SIKH" and NOT "SINGH. 5. remember..our GURU gave his head for Religious freedom and Human rights...and we are pretty LIBERAL in all things..BUT we too cannot be "so unique" that we allow any tom {censored} and harry to just barge in and say i am doing kirtan..patth..hukmnama etc for ALL OF YOU..because i feel like it and you are a unique religion.
