[QUOTE="Chaan Pardesi, post: 170584, member: 7047"] Very little truth is known abt Rag mala!Guru Nanak's Mission is based upon logical search of the TRUTH.There is no place for rituals and farcial beliefs in Sikhism. Guru Ji, logically challenged the age old beliefs of the hindus such as casteism, yag, bathing in rivers etc.THose who came to the sanctuary of the Guru became his followers, to search the TRUTH logically.They were called disciples-Sikhs.However, there were some who liked the Gurus' teachings but were unable to distinguish them from the prevalent religion of the masses.Some hindus also felt the new religion to be a challenge to their age old practice.Persons of these two categories either out of ignorance or intentionally distorted historical facts and even tempered with Gurus writings. It is common sight to see couplets such as 'Nanak Nivan Jo challe, laage Na tati vao' on the backs of the lorries in India.This is the testimoney of the Kachi bai, wwhich still prevails despite warnings of Guru Amar Das ji during his life time. An uninitiated Sikh gets confused whether such couplets are GURBANI.Many ignorant Sikhs have been heard to ask the reference of this couplet from Sri Guru Granth sahib. So much so SRI GURU GRANTH SAHIB was tempered with either by an unidentified ignorant Sikh or an jealous hindu who appended RAAG MALA without care to how much damage it will cause to the Sikh masses in general in time to come. This appendix has created a long term controversy that still remains unresolved, despite it being reasoned out that RAAGMALA is NOT GURBANI.RAAG MALA IS NOT GURBANI. A majority of the Sikh scholars opine that Ragmala has no themetic coherance with Gurbani BUT sadly...those with illogical blind faith consider it to be integral to Sri Guru Granth sahib merely because it is printed at the end of it! However, the Panth at large, has decided that RAAGMALA is ...NOT... the word of the GURUS!It is NOT the word of the Gurus.It has been instructed that a bhog be performed after Mundhavni Mehla 5 and Shalok 5. Sikhism is under constant threat of immersion into the Hindu faith by hindu fanatics as they do not seem able to tolerate a separate entity of the Sikhs.Many , many historians have already warned the Sikhs about this hostility and underlying hindunization attempts towards Sikhism.For instance as far back as 1899, even a non Sikh writer Max Arthur MacCaulfe declared in the preface of His book-The History of the Sikhs that "a movement to declare the Sikhs as Hinuds in direct opposition to the teachings of the Gurus is widespread for a long duration, even among the ignorant self declared Sikhs with no knowledge and those fools who believe that Sikhs are off shoots of Hinduism". Sikhs must counter this anti Sikh propoganda with clear understanding , a proper understanding of the historical perspectives in Sikhism.We NEED to study VAST literature to come to appropriate conclusions and liberate ourselves from those who are misrepresenting Sikhism, and out to malign Sikhs, and confuse the Sikhs and Guru writings and teachings!
