[QUOTE="Chaan Pardesi, post: 167712, member: 7047"] Gurmukho, there was no one elevated to the title of Santhood by the Sikh body-SGPC/Akal Takhat;almost all apart from sant Attar Singh Mastuanewale are self appointed, or simpltons started calling them sant and thus they "qualified" themselves to be sants!In other words, they are self made sants!This includes Bhai Jarnail Singh Bhindrawala.Today, one can lift a brick and up pops one sant,who somehow finds touring the countries abroad mor attractive rather than sharing their "preaching" within Punjab or India... As I understand there are about 12476 villages in the Punjab, and there are 18970 registered deras with sants in the Punjab!Those who are unregistered are beyond count yet! The erradication of caste based Gurduaras are a good start.But with it must come the issue of non kesadhari parbandhaks!MOST of whom have no iota understanding of the sikhs values and principles; nor Sikh cause and history. It is these people with lack of understanding of the sikh religion that are a major cause of concern within the Gurduaras about the practices of sikh religion that goes on.Because they have no idea, the rest that goes on; is not checked nor confirmed if it is indeed part of sikhi or not- they allow a free for all-and this has invented the some times totally anti Sikh practice that goes on. The issues around aarti, bhog;inter faith and non sikh weddings etc are all caused by such liberal free thinking mona presidents as they have no clue themselves.I can bet that almost 99% of them cannot conduct a path or read the Guru Granth sahib or even know which bani is read when or what the SRM is all about and what it says! I am of the idea, that some sikhs will be mona for one reason or another, but these mona sikhs can be invited to join the committee in junior positions or simply as committee members -such can give them an opportunity to learn and understand the real sikh values and perhaps as they go along they will adopt the identity of the sikh and take more active part that is in line with sikh law. There is a lot wrong today within Gurduaras!Air conditioning the sukhasan rooom;using egg contents cake cutting ;bringing in food into langger from outside where it has not been prepared by sikh sangat ;Malaysia is notoriously renowned for such practice in what is supposed to be simple Guru ka Langger is turned into a massive variety feast with dhosas,noodles, and what not- half of which is then thrown away;was prepared out side the Gurduaras by people who are probably smokers, and also used halal approved contents in the oil etc.and dishes that have been not too long earlier used to prepare halal dishes for someone else! I am NOT against people having such meals and feasts at their own homes or private functions as long as they are not used following a bhog conducted with presence of Guru Granth Sahib in or out side a Gurduara. I hope the Akal takhat wakes up to this call and does NOT stop with the caste Gurduaras, but will consider my notes.We also know that often they will shout loud from the Akal Takhat and do nothing;but will leave the community more disjointed as it has happened in the past; but the signs I am seeing over the last 6 months indicate they wish to move on, but only time will tell that have they moved on ..to better ..or ...worst!
