How disappointing it is to the souls that have been blessed with Guru ji's amrit that fight everyday to keep their kirpans, and the tireless seveadars that fight for their freedoms to do so...to have such efforts blasted by the very indulgence and greed our religion preaches against.

When a shastra is used in such a sacreligious fashion, it doesn't merely cut human flesh. It savages the soul of the entire panth.

Powerful words...from one so young....shows how badly all this affects even the youngsters. When will we learn to manage our affairs as Guru-SEWAKS and not as PARDHAANS. Looks we are slowly becoming....all CHIEFS and NO INDIANS..where the haumaii of each gets stronger day by day...the day any one gets "offended" he goes and sets up his own gurdawra where he can be pardhaan..or worse still "fights" like the "Alpha Male" to set his territory !! we are sikhs of GURU JI and not some wild pack of dingos or coyotes..

Thank you for your kind words, Gyani ji...although at 36 I'm not sure if I still qualify as a youngster or not.
