[QUOTE="Sikh Namdhari, post: 45373, member: 2579"] [b]Re: Sants and Sikhi[/b] Dal Singhji None taken. Although, was there a need for the 'Namdharia' bit?;) If we are here to express our views and share knowledge, then we, as mature, educated individuals should be able to discuss controvertial issues without resorting to name calling and eventually abuse. The thing to remember here is we are all seeking salvation for our souls, after we die. Satguruji teaches us that at the end of the day it is [I][B]our faith and not our religion[/B][/I] [I][B]that will be our salvation. [/B][/I] Did you know that if a Guru was measured by contemporary thinking, modern scholars would reject all of the old Gurus? Let me cite an example: Kabirji's Guru was a true Brahmin. His name was Ramanandji. Guru Arjundevji regarded him as Guru and Mahapursh; because He entered Ramanand's Bani, albiet only one Sabad, in the Aadh Guru Granth Sahib. When Kabirji was on his quest for a True Guru his search took him to Ramanandji's door. Ramandji refused to give Kabirji Gurmanthr on account of Kabirji being of low caste. Kabirji, however, was adamant that it was Ramanandji that he believed in and it was from Ramanandji that He was going to recieve Naam. (If we measured Ramanandji by the school of thought you display, would his Gurbani have been entered in the Aadh Guru Granth Sahib?) Kabirji knew that Ramanandji went to bathe at the river before sunrise every day before sitting to meditate. He went and lay in His path. When Ramanandji tripped over Kabirji, He (speaking in true Gurmukh style) exclaimed, "Rise, O fortunate and repeat the Name of Ram", supposedly not knowing it was low caste Kibirji he was addressing. Kabirji was satisfied - He had recieved Naam from A True Guru, in whom He had faith. Many years later, when Kabirji became a Guru in His own right and had His own following of thousands, the two did meet, but I have yet to study that Sakhi. I have no problem with your beliefs. As for your remarks about 'parent body of Sikhs'. The way I personally view Sikhi is that Satguru Nanakdevji did not create an 'ism'. Any disciple of any Guru is a Sikh. The word 'Sikh' is sanskrit for disciple. Your comment about Bandha Bahadhur stems from ignorance about the facts. Satguru Gobind Singhji never gave Bandha the Gurgaddhi. (He did however give it to Satguru Balak Singhji.) Bandha Bahadhur is more known for his Janthr, Manthrs, courage and valour in the battlefield, than for his spiritual ascendency. Satguru Ram Singhji created hundreds of the likes of Bandha Bahadhur, and before you rubbish this claim, read your history. Us Sikhs have a history under "extra Gurus" that anti-Sikh propoganda is trying it's hardest to suppress,without success. Satguru Ram Singhji, Himself faced this hatred, which led Him to challenge those who kept saying that He was false and that His Panth was false: "I have raised the foundations of This Khalsa Panth from Pathal. No man's power can break it." The proof of it is that all false Gaddhis never last. Bandha did his bit and passed. Those who falsley tried to claim his ascension soon fell to the wayside. The British Empire, with the help of the Singh Sabha tried to smash The Sant Khalsa; they both failed. Where is the Empire today and all the traitors who enlisted en mass into the British army to betray their motherland and show Queen Victoria how loyal they could be? [U]Satguru Ram Singhji taught His Sikhs about true Sikhi. He taught us how to defend our birthright. He taught us AND YOU how to respect and read Gurbani. At that time it was Satguru Ram Singhji who went from village to village to bring out moth and rat eaten Gurujis' Granth Sahibs, wipe them with His Dastar. He then taught the masses the true path they had forgotten. Only One who is a true Heir to this Great...[B] ([I]'Sri Guru Raj Abichal Ataal, Aadh Purakh Phermaio'[/I] - Aadh Guru Granth Sahib)[/B][/U] [U]Gurgaddhi could do all of this. [/U] His brother, Satguru Hari Singhji spent His entire time on this Earth imprisoned within the confines of Sri Bhaini Sahib. Yet still He kept the flame of Sikhi burning. Why?

[U][B]And you have the audacity to speak of breaking away from the parent body?[/B][/U] Those Sikhs who became traitors to the Nation, had they joined Satguru Ram Singhji, we would today be enjoying that Khalsa Raj that you so rhetorically sing of in the Gurdhwaras. Even today if you open your eyes and overcome you bigotry against the Living Guru you would see what Sri Satguru Jagjit Singhji is achieving for His Sikhi.
