[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 988, member: 138"] Dear Puneet Ji, I have only read snipets of his thought process in several Sikh Forums. I would like to get hold of his books to further my knowledge in this matter. In what I have read, I do not disagree with his view of questioning what creates doubts in a seeker's mind about the [color=black][font=Times New Roman][size=3][font=Verdana][size=2]peripheral[/size][/font] [/size][/font][/color]events which are not mentioned in SSGS as we all know only SGGS is our benchmark. Before I write about my disagreements, I would like to ask you the following:- 1.Did Kala Afghana use a term in his books which translates as ORTHODOX sikh or ORTHODOX Khalsa order? If he did, then I would appreciate if you can indicate the site where I can read that portion where orthodox is mentioned. If it is you who wrote it then can you please give me your meaning of the word ORTHODOX and how it relates to a Sikh and Khalsa Panth in your point of view? 2. Did Kala Afghana use the word 'DASAM GRANTH' in his books? If he did, then did he also mention that theres no such book as DASAM GRANTH? 3.Your wrote: [b]<<Kala Afghana also challenges the stockpile of mythologies surrounding the institution of amrit. [i]He refutes as completely baseless, for example, [color=red]the traditional mythological claims that amrit can revive the dead.[/color][/i][color=red] [i]Traditionalists claim that the amrit sarovar (pool of nectar) surrounding the Darbar Sahib (Golden Temple) in Amritsar, Punjab possesses the power to revive the dead.[/i][/color] Kala Afghana contends that if this were true we would not have witnessed the numerous dead bodies floating in the pool at the conclusion of Operation Blue Star[14] in 1984. >>[/b] If you could also give me the references where he refutes what you wrote above about reviving the dead, I would be greatful. For a Sikh, the journey is not physical but spiritual. As it is ONLY SPIRITUAL then the death is also spiritual NOT PHYSICAL and I am sure being a seeker himself Kala Afghana is aware of that. In other words if Kala Afghana has mentioned about the physical death without explaining that it is NOT physical but ONLY spiritual, then he is dead wrong. No pun intended.:-) Peace and Love Tejwant [/QUOTE]
