<blockquote data-quote="Harjas Kaur Khalsa" data-source="post: 84570" data-attributes="member: 2125"><p>Yes, in the Vedas Om is defined as Parabrahm. In the Vaishnava Puranas it is defined as Trimurthi, as was explained in previous post.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>Why do the forum moderators conceive "disrespect for Sikhism" by deviating from the Singh Sabha reform interpretation and debating a sanatan interpretation, which has historical documentation to substantiate, along with different Panths within the Sikh tradition, Udasis, Naamdharis, Nirmalas, and Nihangs, as well as Sant sampradhyas which also hold these interpretations? In other words, it's not even a new concept, let alone a "disrespectful" opinion. It only illustrates the profound intolerance of the mainstream Singh Sabha views to any other interpretive viewpoint. Of course the fact that several arrests have been made in India recently which implicate Sikh militants as attempting to assassinate various dera heads who are influential in Punjab and hold sanatan views underscores Sikh fanaticism and intolerance. It isn't disrespect of the Singh Sabha separatist views to argue for the sanatan opinion. But as clearly seen on this post, it is intolerance, disrespect and distortion of sanatan views which needs to be protected. I have had very thoughtful posts deleted and threads closed because they "offended the sentiments" of people who couldn't tolerate the sanatan view, couldn't tolerate that people might be persuaded there is validity to the sanatan view. Yet, look how the sanatan view is abused right before your eyes, and moderators talk about "fairness." </p><p></p><p>The assumption is that sanatan views are false without question, without deserving fair and impartial investigation, knee-jerk reactivity in imputing anti-Sikhism from the Sanatan interpretation. And by such actions as public disclaimers, deletions without notice and imputation of "disrespect" for the presumed "authentic" Sikh interpretation, the moderators have already labeled the sanatan viewpoint false, and simpy by existing, "disrespectful" to the presumed "true Sikhism." The stated assumption is that Sikh sangat and youth must be protected from exposure to sanatan interpretations and have "<em>sentiments of aggressively intolerant mainstream Sikhs</em>" defended. But I will show you how the sanatan opinion, most notably from Nirmala Panth, which teaches from the Gurbani that study and knowledge of the Vedas, Smritis and Puranas are a part of the heritage of Gurmat Gursikhi. Not only is there a historical heritage of it, but it comes direct from Gurbani. So "<em>who</em>" is being disrespectful of Gurbani? Ask yourselves the question. "<em>Who</em>" is offending legitimate Sikh sentiments to contradict Guru's bani with so low a criticism of Vedas, Smritis and Puranas? </p><p></p><p>What I have is "<strong>Disgusting</strong>." "<strong>Contaminated</strong>." You have the "<strong>Gold</strong>." Amazing prejudice. Amazing distortion of the truth. And all in the name of a fair and respectful spiritual discussion. FYI, it's not a "pick and choose" policy which takes one to Vedas, Upanishads and Puranas for clarity of definition. But the fact that clarity of understanding is sought for the terms and concepts which are in Gurbani. It is the study of Gurbani which leads to study of the other scriptures. Gurbani does not say the Vedas, Simritis, and Puranas are disgusting and corrupt. How dare Sikhs do so! (Gurbani quotes will prove this.)</p><p></p><p></p><p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Blue">ਬੇਦ ਪੁਰਾਨ ਪੜੇ ਕੋ ਇਹ ਗੁਨ ਸਿਮਰੇ ਹਰਿ ਕੋ ਨਾਮਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ </span></p> <p style="margin-left:

[QUOTE="Harjas Kaur Khalsa, post: 84570, member: 2125"] Yes, in the Vedas Om is defined as Parabrahm. In the Vaishnava Puranas it is defined as Trimurthi, as was explained in previous post. Why do the forum moderators conceive "disrespect for Sikhism" by deviating from the Singh Sabha reform interpretation and debating a sanatan interpretation, which has historical documentation to substantiate, along with different Panths within the Sikh tradition, Udasis, Naamdharis, Nirmalas, and Nihangs, as well as Sant sampradhyas which also hold these interpretations? In other words, it's not even a new concept, let alone a "disrespectful" opinion. It only illustrates the profound intolerance of the mainstream Singh Sabha views to any other interpretive viewpoint. Of course the fact that several arrests have been made in India recently which implicate Sikh militants as attempting to assassinate various dera heads who are influential in Punjab and hold sanatan views underscores Sikh fanaticism and intolerance. It isn't disrespect of the Singh Sabha separatist views to argue for the sanatan opinion. But as clearly seen on this post, it is intolerance, disrespect and distortion of sanatan views which needs to be protected. I have had very thoughtful posts deleted and threads closed because they "offended the sentiments" of people who couldn't tolerate the sanatan view, couldn't tolerate that people might be persuaded there is validity to the sanatan view. Yet, look how the sanatan view is abused right before your eyes, and moderators talk about "fairness." The assumption is that sanatan views are false without question, without deserving fair and impartial investigation, knee-jerk reactivity in imputing anti-Sikhism from the Sanatan interpretation. And by such actions as public disclaimers, deletions without notice and imputation of "disrespect" for the presumed "authentic" Sikh interpretation, the moderators have already labeled the sanatan viewpoint false, and simpy by existing, "disrespectful" to the presumed "true Sikhism." The stated assumption is that Sikh sangat and youth must be protected from exposure to sanatan interpretations and have "[I]sentiments of aggressively intolerant mainstream Sikhs[/I]" defended. But I will show you how the sanatan opinion, most notably from Nirmala Panth, which teaches from the Gurbani that study and knowledge of the Vedas, Smritis and Puranas are a part of the heritage of Gurmat Gursikhi. Not only is there a historical heritage of it, but it comes direct from Gurbani. So "[I]who[/I]" is being disrespectful of Gurbani? Ask yourselves the question. "[I]Who[/I]" is offending legitimate Sikh sentiments to contradict Guru's bani with so low a criticism of Vedas, Smritis and Puranas? What I have is "[B]Disgusting[/B]." "[B]Contaminated[/B]." You have the "[B]Gold[/B]." Amazing prejudice. Amazing distortion of the truth. And all in the name of a fair and respectful spiritual discussion. FYI, it's not a "pick and choose" policy which takes one to Vedas, Upanishads and Puranas for clarity of definition. But the fact that clarity of understanding is sought for the terms and concepts which are in Gurbani. It is the study of Gurbani which leads to study of the other scriptures. Gurbani does not say the Vedas, Simritis, and Puranas are disgusting and corrupt. How dare Sikhs do so! (Gurbani quotes will prove this.)
