[QUOTE="Ambarsaria, post: 140564, member: 14194"] Bhagat Singh ji so sad to see the video. We can all see how the person pouring the kerosene made sure he did not get caught in the heat ( as well as all the police) by making a long fuel line on the ground to set the monk on fire. One does not make comments about the body burnt as such. However Sikhism is quite clear about self-immolation or its glorification. That did not stop some of our leaders to ignore this either. The following from Wiki, [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fateh_Singh_%28Sikh_leader%29"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fateh_Singh_%28Sikh_leader%29[/URL] An excerpt, " After a few unsatisfactory meetings with Nehru, on 16 August 1965, [B][COLOR=Red]Fateh Singh threatened another fast-undo-death and self-immolation[/COLOR][/B], if a Punjabi Suba was not created....." [I]Just anecdotal, we could see Sri Harmandir Sahib area from our house. So we were on our roof looking for smoke coming from Akal Takhat Sahib where self-immolation places were built in all four corners on the roof of Sri Akal Takhat Sahib complex. Even as kids growing up we knew it as a sham. Suddenly orange juice used to appear just in time. Just like Master Tara Singh ji used to disappear in the name of Police arrest in cozy Dharamsala in Himachal Pradesh while the poor people from villages boarded police buses with small "gathrian" (small packets wrapped in cloth) to see them through the arrests.[/I] [I]In my mind self immolation by the monks (in the form of passivity and renunciation) is another image (almost mirror) of the training of young muslim kids to wear suicide belts.

Sat Sri Akal. PS: More immolations reported at Yahoo with Tunisian crisis and I doubt these are meditation/samadhi derived, [URL]http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20110117/ts_nm/us_tunisia_protests_immolations[/URL] [/QUOTE]
