[QUOTE="Archived_Member1, post: 75605, member: 4703"] any fearless warrior could be called Nihang. the sanatan sikhs, however, are not Nihang, they're "Nang" (naked). they began their sect in the late 1880s, and have many practices that are anti-gurmat. [url=http://www.panthic.org/news/132/ARTICLE/3854/2008-01-31.html]Panthic Weekly: What do you know of 'Sanatan Sikh Shastar Vidiya'?[/url] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]Nidar Singh and the "Sanatanists" seems to be confused about Sikhi. A few examples will show illustrate this. They propagate a traditional pluralistic Sikhi consisting of Udasis, Seva Panthis, Nirmalas and Akali Nihang Singhs. Did Guru Gobind Singh Ji when creating the Khalsa on Vaisakhi in 1699 create four sects or was it the one Khalsa? Guru Gobind Singh Ji says: ਖਾਲਸਾ ਮੇਰੋ ਰੂਪ ਹੈ ਖਾਸ ॥ ਖਾਲਸੇ ਮਹਿ ਹੌ ਕਰੋ ਨਿਵਾਸ ॥ "The Khalsa is my image. Within the Khalsa I reside." (Guru Gobind Singh Ji) There is no mention by Guru Gobind Singh Ji anywhere that he created, ordained or blessed any sects, splinter groups or divisions amongst the Sikhs. Guru Amar Daas Ji says: ਇਕਾ ਬਾਣੀ ਇਕੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਇਕੋ ਸਬਦੁ ਵੀਚਾਰਿ ॥ "There is One Bani; there is One Guru; there is one Shabad to contemplate. (Ang 646) Sikhi is not a narrow doctrinal religion. If you stick to the belief in One God, Guru Panth and Guru Granth, and follow the Rehat Maryada, that will leave you a lot of freedom for your own individual religious experience. But Nidar Singh and his small group of Sanatanist followers want to include people in the panth who do not follow Guru's teachings. Udasis fought with Guru Gobind Singh Ji against the Rajas and the Mughals, they looked after Gurdwaras, but they are not Sikhs. ਸੋ ਸਿਖੁ ਸਖਾ ਬੰਧਪੁ ਹੈ ਭਾਈ ਜਿ ਗੁਰ ਕੇ ਭਾਣੇ ਵਿਚਿ ਆਵੈ ॥ "He alone is a Sikh, a friend, a relative and a sibling, who walks in the Way of the Guru's Will." (Ang 601) Nidar Singh contrasts this 'pluralistic' Sikhi with that of the 'British Raj accommodating' (or Angrez) Sikhs, who later developed into the Singh Sabha movement. In reality things were quite different. When the British Raj treated the Sikhs well, there was peace. At other times the Sikhs and the British disagreed, like in the time of the Singh Sabha movement, over who should control the historical Gurdwaras, and there was a serious conflict. Nidar Singh is some aspects is similar to some western scholars, who also deplore that the Sikhs moved away from the 'pluralistic' Hindu tradition under the influence of the Singh Sabha movement. He tries to divide the Khalsa in different ranks, based on military skills. Obviously if the Khalsa is doing building work, we will choose builders as our leaders, and when we are waging war, we will follow experienced warriors. But our Guru made farmers, tailors and traders into fighters, and he did not want to create a 'caste' of fighting men, or of builders for that matter. Do not forget that our war against injustice involves more than physical fighting. The "Sanatan Sikh Shastar Vidiya" 'Ustad' also favours celibacy, another Hindu tendency. ਬਿੰਦੁ ਰਾਖਿ ਜੌ ਤਰੀਐ ਭਾਈ ॥ ਖੁਸਰੈ ਕਿਉ ਨ ਪਰਮ ਗਤਿ ਪਾਈ ॥੩॥ "If someone could save himself by celibacy, O Siblings of Destiny, why then haven't eunuchs obtained the state of supreme dignity? ||3|| (Ang 324) [/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
