Dear Khalsa Jasbir Singh jee, Waheguru jee ka Khalsa Waheguru jee kee
Fateh
For the last several years it is noticed that Controllers of
SGPC and Akaal Takht Sahib do not bother about the views of diaspora Sikhs
unless one is attached to some anti-Sikh Dera or organisation? Before according
honorific title of "Panth Rattan", perhaps they need to look at the achievements
during the past 30 years in so far as Sikh religion and Sikhs are concerned:
1. What efforts were made to implement the Anandpur Sahib Resolution?
2. What role was played by President Torha when (1978) 13 Sikhs were killed
by Nirankaris to apprehend the killers?
3. In spite of Hukamnama/Gurmatta dated 10 June 1978 why
President Tohra went to Nirankari Bhavan for seeking their votes and
subsequently he tried to lie in collaboration with Bhai Ranjit Singh?
4. Why President Tohra and Sant Harchand Singh Longowal were writing letters
to the PM's Cabinet Secretariat (now reproduced at pages 110 to 112 in book -
Chakravyuh: Web of Indian Secularism (2000 Edition) by Gurtej Singh and at pages
165 to 167 in another book - Sach Sunnaesi Sach Ki Bela by Gurbhajan Singh Gill
(Layallpuri) (2003 Edition). Such correspondence was not in the best interest of
Sikhs? It exposes their duality like the double secret agents known as diplomacy
based on falsehood!
5. During 1984 and subsequently what role he played for the Sikhs' Charhdi
Kalaa?
6. What efforts were made by him to resolve the outstanding
demands of the Sikhs such as Chandigarh Issue, Beas-Sutlej River water, Bhakra
Dam, Punjabi speaking territories, implementation of Punjabi Boli, release of
Sikh Youth from the jails, help to the widows leading miserable life since
1978-1984?
7. Whether he ever raised his concern/voice against the false encounters and
killings by the govt.'s secret agencies and police either in Parliament or
elsewhere?
8. Against the lapses of Barnala, Badal, Giani Puran Singh,
Prof. Manjit Singh, Bhai Ranjit Singh, Bhai Rode, Taksaalis, Deras, KPS Gill, AS
Sandhu & other such butchers, Mukh Sevadaars of Akal Takht Sahib, Patna
Sahib, Hazur Sahib?
9. What efforts he made to control the spread of Apostasy/Patitpunaa and
other brahminical rituals?
10. What has he done to spread the message of Gurbaani
enshrined in the Guru Granth Sahib and to practice the Sikh Reht Maryada (SGPC)
at all places where Sikhs have set up Gurduaras in Punjab, India and abroad?
11. When Principal Satbir Singh died, Rs. three lakhs were given to his
family from SGPC's Goluk
whether such amount was also given to any widow/orphan who was affected
during 1978-1984-2004?
12. How much or about Rs. five lakhs? were given to the Institute of Sikh
Studies for revising the Sikh History, what happened to that project? How that
amount was accounted for or nothing was spent?
13. For the last 30 years how many times Sarbatt Khalsa was called for to
resolve outstanding issues?
Since I don't know all the facts being away from Punjab since
1956, someone may like to throw some more light so that Sikh leaders and Mukh
Sevadaars remain accountable to the Guru Khalsa Panth/Sarbatt Khalsa. I seek
forgiveness if I have quoted any incorrect version. Thanks,
Gurmit Singh, an ordinary
diaspora Sikh and member of the Guru Khalsa Panth

Dear Brothers Charnjit Singh Bal and Makhan Singh Purewal Jeo.
Sat Sri
Akal.
Sikh Virsa, Sikh Bulletin, Sikh Review and Abstracts of Sikh
Studies refused to publish my article about Gandhi and the writings of Bhai
Randhir Singh. Howver, Dalit voice posted the articles on Gandhi on its site and
from there it was picked by others. A Pakistan fellow broght it to the attention
of the editor of Sikh Spectrum. Last April the editor of Sikh Spectrum called me
seeking my permission to publish the article on Gandhi. I told him, " As a
trained scientist I firmly believe that information or knowlede must be shared -
propagated in order to separate the truth from dross. That is how the human
society has developed. This article is not my property and I do not have a
patent on it. You can publish it by all means." So he posted this article in the
August quartely issue of Sikh Spectrum. Since then I am a regular contributer to
Sikh Spectrum. In the current issue I have two article: Unite and Rule and
People Who misinform
(www.sikhspectrum.com).
I was
surprised that Professor Satnam Singh sandhu of Punjabi University Patiala has
posted both my articles, on Gandhi and Bahi randhur singh's writings on his web
site (www.punjabheritage.com). Both
the articles are still there. I admire his courage as the professor of GNDU and
Punjabi University do not want to take the risk to annoy the people in power.
Last year Dr. Sangat singh wanted to present a paper at a seminar at GNDU.
Professor Balwant Singh Dhillon asked him to remove references to Nehru and
Gandhi. Of course sangat Singh refused to do so and he was not allowed to speak.
This is the same Balwant Singh Dhillon who was a consultant to Vedanti on
Gubilas Patshai 6 and he also takes frquent trips with Vedanti. That is why I
have great respect fo Professor Sandhu. Attached are four articles for your
file, If you find them worthwhile share with others or post on your web
site.
With deep regards.

Dear All,
Can somebody explain about this Panth Rattan being awarded to
Late. Sardar Gurcharan Singh Tohra. What criteria is being followed? After death
of someone , only few remains critics while a number of people will follow the
policy,"Challo Chhaddo jee, maran wala mar gia". Mr. Tohra had some good
qualities. He was considered honest and hard working even by apposition. Can
anybody answer this question, "Is SGPC which was lead by Sardar Tohra is not
among the most corrupt Sikh organisations? and who is reponsible for that ? Why
not Panth Rattan to Mr. Badal, Bibi Jagir Kaur etc . As per I know it was not
presented to even undisputed personalities like Bhai Teja Singh Samundri. When
Mr. Badal will die he will surely be presented Panth Rattan. I am not comparing
these personalites. Mr. Tohra was much better than Badal in my thinking. Mr.
Tohra will be known for his greatness particularly when we come to know, the
persons occupying his position. Mr. Arvinderpal Singh Pakhoke is now serving as
Acting President og SGPC. In his last tenure as Acting President he employed
huge number of unwanted sevadars that someone had to approach the sgjc to stop
them working. Bhul Chuk Muaf.

I am really disturbed to read the article by Dr. Dilgir
regarding Mr. Tohra. Last year Dr. Dilgir wrote another article where he praised
Mr. Tohra in his article in Chardi Kala newspaper. This was before Mr. Tohra
became SGPC president. Seems like Dr. Dilgir did not get what he wanted after
Mr. Tohra became SGPC president. Therefore he started writing against him.
This article does not suite a website like yours where most of the articles
are good religious articles.
So please take this article off your site. In case you keep
supporting people like Dr. Dilgir, who change their writings based on their
personnel motives, we will stop visiting your site.
Please reply.
Thanks

Makhan,
I hope this time you receive my E-mail. I had forgotten that my
mother follows a religion herself. This religion is called Paganism. I did'n't
have much time to study but, I may be able to give a you a quick description.
From what I read you may see some similarities between Sikhism and Paganism.
Paganism:
One of the first and most important beliefs of Paganism is a
respect for the Earth and an environmental consciousness, which runs so deep it,
connects with the divine spirit within. Energy and healing are gained from the
soil. Knowledge and wisdom are gained from the trees. Cleaning and purging comes
from the lakes, rivers, and streams. Protection comes from the rocks and fire.
Rites are practiced which attune the seeker to the harmonious workings of the
seasons of nature.
Magick is the art and science of causing change in ones
environment in conformity with ones's will. Magick can be used to heal, to
divine, or to assist in the obtaining of goals. The only possible linits of
Magick are the self, the imagination, and the knowledge of any Magickal
System.
The natural human body, soul, and mind are seen as beautiful,
powerful, and divine. Human beings were not cast out of paradise; they were born
into it. Human beings are not born ingerently evil or bad, they are born
innocent with the gift of choice. Human beings do not answer to the laws of an
omnipotent god. They answer and account for their own actions. The eternal
afterlife of a human being is not judged by one lifetime alone. Many lifetimes
will be traversed before we are all reconnected with divinity.
The last sentance reminds me of what you explained as reincarnation.
This is a poem that my mother speaks everyday:
Thou art the Lord who reigns within,
The strength and the power,
Thou
art the Lady, innocent and bold,
The mother, maid, and crone
Thou art the meaning of success,
The flash that doeth inspire,
The holy
beam of golden light,
The flickering of the Fire.
Thou are the glory of the day,
The beatiful song of birds,
The light
that glowest in the dark,
The poet, and the words.
And every single day I see,
In every star that shines,
With fear and
wonder, joy and love,
That thee and me combines.
For in the end we are one,
The Lady and the Lord,
The spirit and the
great God,
The truth I'm moving toward.
So in the day that lies ahead,
To every man and tree,
To members of the
fairy lands
Bright blessing be to we.
See you later.

A training camp of the
"Teachers and managements of the Missionary Colleges" was held
at Bhopal. Representatives of the dozens of the principals, teachers and
managements of the Sikh missioanry colleges attend the camp. The 7 days's camp
was addressed among others by the Sikh histoprian and philosopher Panth ratan Dr
Harjinder Singh Dilgeer (author of 40 books on Sikhism). Dr Dilgeer gave 8
lectures on different aspects. Dr Gurbachan Singh Bachan too addressed the
campers.

Dear Sardar Makhan Singh Purewal Ji, Sat Sri Akal.
I retired as a pharmaceutical research scientist two years back. I have been
interested in the proper interpretation of Gurbani from my high school days. I
started writing about Gurbani and Sikh affairs after my retirement.
As
mentioned in my open letter to Shergill, my first article was the review of Kala
Afghana' writings which was published in sevral Sikh publications. After that I
have published two articles on the misinterpretation of Gurbani by Professor
McLeod both in the Abstracts of SikhStudies and in the online publication, Sikh
Spectrum. I also published an article about Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther
King. It is currently posted on (www.punjabheritage.com) and it was also
posted on the Web site of Dalit Voice. I have an other article on the writings
of Bhai Randhir Singh at (www.punjabheritage.com). Other articles
that I have published include: Are Sikhs Hindus? Meaning of Hindu; Deep
pentration of Criminals in Sikh Instittuion; What have the immigrants lost in
the West. I have published few other articles also. Currently I have two
articles "unite and rule," a book review authored by Amar Singh Dhaliwal,
retired Dean of GNDU, and "People who misinform" at www.Sikh Spectrum.com. I plan to post my future
article at www.sikhspectrum.com
I
have all these article in Microsoft Word and if any one is intersted I can
e-mail the article.
With deep regarsd.

I am from Japan and i read your site.
In last update you say that you are also read Benti choupey for
only panthik ekta it is not written by Guru Gobind Singh.And it is a kanjar
kavita so i want to know why you read it everyday.You are not working for ekta
you want to distroy panth and you didnot have any fear of God.
I think if anybody read kanjar kavita so he is also a kanjar
its right? because many years ago in our village if anybody sing a song just
like marasi then our parents say that its kanjarpuna and our religion not allow.
Can you tell me when you take Amrit panj piyare read this or
not if they read then what you say about panj piyare and because Guru ji say
panj piyare is my roop in the preance of Guru Granth Sahib JI.
So from Guru Sahib ji period till now all panj piyare read this
bani then what you say to this.
Kala Afgana say when he take Amrit again in canada he told this
line khulre kpat satgur bhette. So can you and afgana tell us on that time which
bani panj piyare read.if they read that benti choupey so what you say about
those panj piyare.
So please reply as soon as because some time kala afagna says
he is very busy if he had time for Gurtej and joginder and why not for other
persons you are also suppourt them thats we want answer from you.Because Guru ji
says in japji sahib je ko kehe kre vichar .
So that is the reason we want know about this because we are also Amrit
dhari.

The Last Sikh
Prisoners of Conscience in India.
Why the sikhs never wrote letters to
prisoners of conscience in the sikh resistance movement?
The 52000 prisoners thing… and how many
are really left now?
In the last two decades many sikhs were subjected to torture,
which was brutal and imprisonment involving ad hoc executions in India. Some of
these sikhs were part of the Sikh Resistance Movement, others were not. It was a
catastrophic situation and unfortunately most human rights groups could not get
a grip on the situation, and were egotistical enough to pay lip service to
collaboration, while wanting a monopoly on the sikh genocide. Human rights
groups were simply not equipped and emerged out of nowhere, with no
understanding of human rights save the human emotion to do something. ----
I will now leave you with a list that up till now has not been
exposed in the West. It is not the last word, but a start for us to get a grip
on the situation and for you to lobby India to release these prisoners: The Last
sikh prisoners of conscience of the Sikh Resistance Movement in India:

Gurfateh,
This is an excellent site. Please see another link which has a very good
article. I rate it as one of the best site for Gurmat Prachaar.
This site is impartial and is not mouthpiece of anybody as alleged by one
of the members.
I congratulate Sirdar Makan Singh ji Purewal for undertaking this Yeomans
service in the service of Khalsa Panth

Satnam singh ji
may i tell you,if you are not aware,this sikhmarg is the main
mouthpiece of kala afghana and his gang.I will request you to read
www.panthkhalsa.org and click on Kala afghana an uneducated scholar or Indian
intelligence agent.You will find sikhmarg listed as an athiest's magazine.I do
not understand why you have so much faith in this slanderer.

Forwarded message from AUSTRALIA: www.sikhmarg.com is a PANTHIC
SITE that has most valuable articles on SIKHI and Guru Khalsa Panth, and GURBANI
VICHAAR par excellence. It is NOT a "mouthpiece" of anybody BUT does STAND for
the GURU and the PANTH agianst the BIPPARS and BRAHMINS that have invaded Sikhi
under the guise of being "kattar sikhs".
Read the articles and make your own conclusions. This site is
the most widely read in MALAYSIA and copies of its articles are widely availble.
The Panthkhalsa site is also visited but it is the site of ANTI-KalaAfghana
people instead of being a site of SIKHI and GURMAT - more energy is spent on
criticising kala afghana...than spreading GURMAT of GURU GRANTH and GURU KHALSA
PANTH.
Thank you makahn Singh Purewal for the Yeomans service to the Guru
Khalsa

Million thanks for your free internet service for "Punjabi"

This week again, Bhagat Namdeo's Shabd "Garurr Charrey Gobind Aaila" enshrined
in the Guru Granth Sahib at Pages 1165-1166 has been explained thoroughly and
need to be read and follow by the Sikh Sangat, Bhais, Raagis, Parcharaks so that
we may get rid of brahminical doctrine. Will you send me their email address so
that said tract could be procured for free distribution here in

Also have a look at the attachment for sharing if you deem it

other well wishers of the Guru Khalsa Panth, Waheguru jee ka Khalsa
Waheguru jee kee Fateh
Please go through the said article thoughtfully
and take remedial steps urgently.
(1) To
begin with, please sack and remove (a) Mukh Sevadaar Vedanti Joginder Singh jee,
(b) Mukh Granthi Giani Puran Singh jee and (c) all other Granthis who have taken
part in excommunicating the Gursikhs during the last five years!
(2)
Then, implement the "Sikh Reht Maryada" at all the historical places including
Darbaar Sahib, Akaal Takht Sahib and other four Takht Sahibs as
well.
(3)
Take action against the Deras/Taksaals/other such organisations which do not
follow the Sikh Reht Maryada. Also disassociate from
Badals/BJP/RSS/Congress/Communists and other cults.
(4)
Call Sarbatt Khalsa during October 2004 and decide the pending issues such
as (i) "Raagmala", (ii) 'Dasam Granth - Bachiter Natak', (iii) Review of all
Hukamnamas issued from 1996 to 2004, (iv) Appeal to all apostates and Patits for
their re-entry to the Guru Khalsa Panth by 20 December 2004 (v) To stop
suffixing their Surnames/subcastes or any such indication which imitates Hindus'
caste system or any such rituals like Sangrands, Pooranmashi, Massya, Diwali,
Lohri/Maghi, etc.
(5) To
undertake Sikhi Parchaar based on "Gurbaani enshrined in the Guru Granth Sahib"
and "Gurmatt preached by Guru Sahibaan and explained in the Sikh Reht Maryada
(SGPC)" and pay regular visits to the villages/towns/cities in Punjab and other
regions so that all Sikhs are aware about their duty and commitment towards the
Sikh Way of Living. Follow one Guru, one Reht and unite as one Guru
Panth.
Eagerly awaiting your positive response in the best
interest of Guru Khalsa Panth including the diaspora Sikhs who have no legal
jurisdiction within the meaning of The Sikh Gurdwaras Act
1925.Thanks,
Gurmit
Singh, J. P. (Australia).

Sikh Human Development Foundation Awards Eighty Two Scholarships
for Professional Degree Courses to Needy Students in India
For more information:
Gajinder Singh Ahuja
Secretary General, SHDF
(301) 963-3928
Washington (February 24, 2003) - The Sikh Human Development
Foundation (SHDF), based in Washington, granted eighty two scholarships for this
academic year to bright and needy students pursuing professional degree courses
in India. This brings the total number of scholarships awarded to Sikh
and non-Sikh students by this foundation since the year 2000-01 to 201.
SHDF, a non-political, non-profit and tax exempt body, is dedicated to poverty
alleviation, human development and gender equity and it is perhaps the only Sikh
organization which grants scholarships to needy students for higher education in
Punjab and other states in North India.
Founded by a group of Sikh professionals in the Washington
metropolitan area in 1999, this foundation is investing in higher education of
meritorious but financially disadvantaged students in selected parts of India;
it gives special consideration to students affected by social upheavals or
natural calamities. For instance, it granted 13 scholarships amounting to Rs.
156,000 to financially crippled Hindu and Muslim students in Gujarat in the wake
of a devastating earthquake there on January 26, 2001.
Amar Jit Singh Sodhi, Chairman of SHDF and former World Bank
official, stated that, the inspiration for this effort comes from the Sikh
principle of seva: rendering service to humanity (i.e. God in man), and
responding to the pain and need of others, without expecting any reward in
return, is the Sikh way of life. It is a very fulfilling experience to see
students from needy circumstances improve their grades and succeed with this
help.
SHDF continues to receive letters of gratitude from scholarship
recipients. "In these days, education seems to be the monopoly of the rich and
dreams of many students are crushed when they cannot study due to economical
problems" writes Karandeep Kaur from a village of Gurdaspur District – a student
of B.Sc. (engineering) "As I was worrying about the notice of depositing a big
sum of money to pay my fees, a wave of courage flowed in my body, when I came to
know about the scholarship offered by you. It helps me not only economically,
but spiritually too. It pleased me very much that there is some one in this
world who has undertaken a kind project to help and serve humanity and to soothe
the feelings of ambitious students like me."
Mr Sodhi further added that "Success stories of these students
provide us the energy to continue on this noble cause. We are heartened to see
the sons and daughters of poor widows, terminally sick, daily wage laborers, and
bicycle repairers joining medical, engineering and similar degree or post
graduate courses, with our support. We are also encouraged by the tremendous
support from the Sikh gurdwaras and individuals in the Washington area. Plans
are being charted to take this initiative nationwide. There is a great desire
within the Sikh diaspora to support the needy students and this organization
provides a reliable channel to do so with maximum of transparency,
accountability and cost effectiveness."
Mr. Sodhi also stated that the executive council members of
SHDF have been touring Punjab and other states since the inception of the
organization in order to stay current with grassroots situation and to create an
appropriate institutional framework to identify needy students. It has partnered
with the administration of both Punjab Agriculture University in Ludhiana and
Guru Nanak Dev University in Amritsar. Plans are being made to reach out to as
many educational institutions as possible especially in the rural areas.
The Chairman said that, given the small size of its operation,
SHDF was currently focusing on northern India, though in fact the 194
scholarship recipients have been drawn from the states of Punjab, Haryana,
Delhi, Jammu & Kashmir, Karnataka and Gujarat, as well as Chandigarh.
According to Mr. Sodhi, these bright but resource-poor students
are amongst the nation’s best creative assets; they need our support to cross
the knowledge and skills barrier. Investing in their future through higher
professional education would help them shape the twenty first century for
themselves, their families and the nation. This has become particularly
important, said Mr. Sodhi, as the world moves into what is called ‘a knowledge
economy- a world of increasing complexity and rapid change. He said that the
knowledge economy offers exponential returns on investment in higher education
and can help reduce the widening gap between the developed and the developing
countries. Our focus is on helping promising children with supplemental
financial resources and thereby assuring them access to higher professional
education.
The scholarship amount is calibrated to the needs of the
student keeping in view the family income, number of siblings studying in
college, cost of studies and the merit of the student, and is renewable for
subsequent years, subject to the scholarship recipient maintaining a minimum
score in semester examinations.
A special attention is paid to support female students by the
organization. Asked about the share of girl students in the grant of
scholarships, the Secretary General, Gajinder S. Ahuja stated that overall 53
percent of scholarships went to girl students and 47 percent to boys.
Interestingly, he said that 65 percent of the scholarships have been awarded to
students from rural areas. 24 percent of the scholarships have been awarded to
students pursuing courses in Information technology, while 15 percent of the
scholarships went to students in medical and nursing colleges. The largest share
of scholarships, i.e. 43 percent, was annexed by students from engineering
colleges. The rest of the scholarships were awarded to students in disciplines
like agriculture, accountancy and home science.
Responding to another question, Mr. Ahuja said that SHDF
follows rigorous selection criteria for family income and academic performance;
both are certified by the college/university authorities. In fact, said Mr.
Sodhi, the applicants are put through a written moral science test at selected
locations, and are also interviewed by a panel of experts. Responding to another
question, Mr. Ahuja stated that the average cost of an annual scholarship is
around US$ 350, though SHDF has granted scholarships up to US $ 480 per annum,
in cases of exceptional hardship.
The Foundation had commenced operations with the seed money
provided by its founding members. It has also raised funds through individual
donations and a fund-raising dinner. It has partnered with Nishkam Sikh Welfare
Council, a reputable NGO, based in New Delhi to facilitate implementation and
local oversight of the program. This also helps SHDF to keep its overheads as
low as possible. It is also identifying other NGOS operating in India to fulfill
its mission.
Other members of the executive council of SHDF are Harbaksh
Singh Sethi, Veena Kaur Oberai, Anita Kaur Arora, Surinder Singh and Dr. Rajwant
Singh.

From Nathan Masambu In Nairobi, Kenya
Ihave enjoyed reading all about the Sikh faith and how many Sikhs and non Sikhs have misunderstood it. Im a Christian who belongs to the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). Im indeed amazed to learn that Sikhism and Quakerism have alot in common when you compare the two faiths.
While the Quaker faith founded by George Fox in England were committed to the Inner Light and aw Quakerism as the way of life, Sikhs too is away of life- belief in comradeship or friendship(Sangat).
While Quakers fought against slavery in the US, Guru Nanakji fought against casteism and discrimination in the society. There are indeed wonderful; similarities between the two faiths and Im greatful for your wonderful web site on Skhism.
May God bless you and your work.

DASWNDH (The
Tith)
The word DASWANDH is very common in the Sikh
community. It means the Tith, giving one tenth of ones income towards charity.,
for the welfare of humanity. This is obligatory for each Sikh to separate this
votive offering
.The Bible also directs to contribute such amount as
contained in its chapter Gen.XIV20
Rishi Prasher (a Hindu
religious saint) states to contribute 1/21 part for all categories other than
Brahimns who will contribute 1/30th of their total income in the name of
gods.
The founder of the Sikhism, Sri Guru Nanak Devji gave three
golden principals, KIRAT KARO (Do honest labour), NAAM JAPO (meditate) and VAND
CHHAKO (share the earnings with the needy-ones).
GHAAL KHAE KICHH HATHON
DEH,
NANAK RAH PACHHANE SE (SGGS page 1245). To share the honest earnings
with the needy people is the base of Sikhism and Panthik tradition.
If each one follows this principle all the problems would be solved.
While at Sultanpur Lodhi, Guru Nanak Devji used to spare a
portion of his income to help the poor and advised his followers to follow. The
Sikhism had spread far and wide by the time Guru Amar Dass Jee was commanding
the Sikh Sangat. He established 22 centres and 52 sub centers. The incharge of
these centers was called MANJIDAR. It was the duty of each Manjidarto convey
Gurus messages to sikh Sangat and also to collect the DASWAND from the Sangat.
Every six months (Diwali and Baisakhi) the collection was deposited at Goindwal
Sahib. A number of welfare projects and Langar was run with this Daswand amount.
The fifth Guru (Guru Arjan Devji) made it compulsory for the
Sikhs to contribute one-tenth of their earnings for charity and that is why it
is called DASWANDH (the Tith). During the period of 5th Guru,some areas around
Amritsar were short of water. Water was not enough for drinking and cultivation.
A number of wells were dug and tanks constructed to meet this shortage. This
resulted in green revolution resulting in socio economic uplift of the
people.
Guru Har Rai (the 7th Guru) asked his Sikhs to use the Tith for
opening dispensaries and Veternary hospitals. In different areas. Guruji told
that the animals and birds also feel suffering like human beings. He was the
first person to start Veternary Hospital. He also kept rarte herbs in his
dispensary at Kiratpur Sahib. All this was the miracle of Daswandh system. The
rule of Daswand is still in force for the Sikh community.
While Guru Har Krishan Jee was in Delhi, an epidemic (Small
pox) spread. A large number of people were affected. It also claimed many lives.
The eighth Guru himself attended the sick and utilized this fund for the
treatment of the sick.
The 10th Guruji gave the slogan GARIB KA MOOHN GURU KI
GOLAK. (The amount spent on the poor amounts to offerings made to Guru (The
God).
Bhai Nand Lal Singh (a poet in the court of Guru Gobind Singh
Jee) writes in one of his poems How can you believe a Sikh, who cannot even
spare the Tith). Similar remarks are given in the Rehat Naama Bhai Desa Singh
and also by Bhai Santokh Singh in Gur Partap Suraj. In the GOSHAT (conversation)
of MAK MADEENA, similar directions are conveyed.
The most important is, how and where to spend the DASWANDH
money? As stated above, the tenth Guruji very clearly said Give it to the needy.
A farmer takes note of the season and the ground before sowing a seed so that it
has proper yield. Similarly before donating, we must see that our Daswandh money
is spent for the proper cause and goes to deserving, the people in real need of
this help. It is not compulsory to deposit this oney in temples and Gurdwaras
etc. only. It should be used for any of the welfare projects like spread of
education, running hospitals, food/clothing for the poor etc.
A large number
of people in underdeveloped countries are living below the povery
line. To educate their children and to provide them the basic amenities, is the
proper area for utilizing the Tith.
Another most important point to keep in mind is not to spare
Daswand on estimation or approximation, rather it should be clearly calculated.
Whatever ones earnings, he/she cannot spend more than 90% of it on his/her own.
We must bear in mind We have no right over the 10%, the Tith. And should
maintain a separate account, for the income and expenses of the Tith. Once we
start this separate account, spending on the needy would be very easy.

‘Hukamnamahs’ & Hukamnamahs of To-day
Hukamnamah for a Sikh & Devotee- Gurbani itself, in
its unique form of ‘Sahib Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji’ is a Hukamnamah, Verdict,
Ruling or Decree for a Sikh and nothing beyond.
Hukamnamahs in the Sikh History- During the period of
Guru Personalities, so many times Guru Ji had to sent some massages to Sikhs,
persons or Guru Ki Sangat of some particular area/sector, but Guru Ji never
added them, as to a part of Gurbani, Nor they declared or wrote them with the
word of ‘Hukamnamah’. At those times those were simply instructions, suggestion,
letters or massages etc for the particular sector, Sikhs or person/persons
concerned. But as a mark of respect, it was Guru Ki Sangat which called them the
‘Hukamnamahs’ as because these were from the Guru Himself.
Such ‘Hukamnamahs’ were the matter of proud for the Sikhs &
devotees and never had been a drastic or harsh item for the Sikhs. Sikhs ever
awaited for such hukamnamahs.
During 1968 Dr, Ganda Singh & Bhai Shamsher Singh Ashok
published two volumes on such ‘Hukamnamhs’. These volumes contained Two such
Hukamnamahs from the 6th Master, One from the eighth Master, 22 from
Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji, 34 from Guru Gobind Singh Ji along with 2 from Banda Singh
Ji Bahadur & 2 from thrones.
Though the genuine-ness of these hukamnamahs even, has also
been challenged by the Sikh Scholar Harinder Singh Mehboob. Even then none of
these Hukamnamahs have ever been dealt with the issue of ex-communication.
Gurbani is a way of life for all the humanity alike and not the property of a
few particular persons, some society, body or jathedars etc to excommunicate
others. Such heinous system is not available within the Sikh History and not a
part of Sikhism.
‘Hukamnamahs’ of today- So called ‘Hukamnamahs’ of
today, have just started by the touts and slave clergies, simply some time back.
Absolutely on the first time in the history of Sikhs, on 18th march 1887- Prof.
Gurmukh Singh Ji was declared ex-communicated, but it was never obeyed by Sikh
Community. Bhai Khem Singh Bedi the then caretaker of Akal Bunga was used as an
instrument by the British & the politicians. This way the Hukamnamahs, ever
had been the item of proud within the Sikh community, turned into the item of
horror & misuse. But this system can never be prolonged or tolerated. Clergy
system has no significance within Sikhism.
JATHEDAR OF AKAL BUNGA (TAKHAT)???- Akal Bunga (Takhat) had
ever been provided a Caretaker in its history and its caretaker had never
provided any type of powers ever. Very-very first time, during the Gurdwaras
Sudhar Movement in the year 1920, on the day of 12th oct a caretaking
Jatha of 25 persons was appointed in the Jathedarship of TeJa Singh Bhuchar for
the purpose. But Bhuchar was never the Jathedar of Akal Bunga (Takhat). He was
merely the Jathedar of the said Jatha. The word, ‘Jathedar’ or ‘Singh Sahib’ for
the Akal Takhat’s Granthi have been started at a very later stage. Otherwise
only the Guru Ka Panth itself has powers through unanimous ‘ Gurmata’ for the
panth as a whole. Even then the excommunication is not permitted over there
within Sikhism.
Hence The Hukamnamahs of Today- The Hukamnamahs of Today, to
ex-communicate the Sikh personalities, especially the Sikh Scholars & Sikh
intelligential is simply the order of the day and can never be tolerated long
time because:-
Firstly- Never there is any such post of ‘Jathedar’ or ‘Singh
Sahib’ for the Granthi of Akal Bunga (Takhat Sahib). Only there can be a
caretaker with no such Panthak Powers. Panthak powers are always of the Panth,
with the Panth and will remain with the Panth as a whole- Yet always within the
instructions and doctrines provided from‘Guru Granth Sahib Ji’ not beyond.
Secondly- Ex-communication is never a part of Sikhism.
Thirdly- Ex- communication in neither permitted by ‘Guru Granth
Sahib Ji’ nor by ‘Sikh Rehat Marayada’ or ‘Gurdwara Act’
Then who has empowered these slave Granthiees to excommunicate
the Scholars and respectable personalities of the community. No doubt the so
called ‘Jathedars’ or ‘Singh Sahibans’ are not independent and these are the
slaves of SGPC and above all slaves of politicians.
All the more, these Granthies are not even the Sikhs of ‘Sri
Guru Granth Sahib Ji’ but they are the Sikhs of Some ‘Dehra daar-Sant Ji or Bhai
Sahib’.
The Guru Panth has must to take its powers in its own
hands.

Dear Manjit Singh jee, SGPC's General
Secretary and Spokesman,
Darbaar
Sahib,
Waheguru jee ka Khalsa Waheguru jee kee Fateh
It appears to me as if all the Mukh Sevadars and SGPC
Controllers managing the Sikh affairs from "Darbaar Sahib and Akaal Takht Sahib"
have forgotten the Guru Sahibaan's teachings. One of them is:
Before breathing his last, Guru Gobind Singh Sahib ordained the
Sikhs to obey "Guru Granth Sahib" as their Eternal and Spiritual Guru at all
times to come. Since then Guru Khalsa Panth has been taking guidance from the
Gurbaani enshrined in the Guru Granth Sahib. Subsequently, for the guidance of
all the Sikhs whether in Punjab, India or abroad, it is specifically
incorporated in the Sikh Reht Maryada (SGPC) that: "No book should be installed
like and at par with the Guru Granth. Worship of any idol or any ritual or
activity should not be allowed to be conducted inside the Gurduwara." There is
no exemption granted to any other person or institute/organisation. Then why no
action has been taken against the Mukh Sevadars of Patna Sahib, Hazoor Sahib, so
called Baba Virsa Singh of Gobind Sadan, Mehrauli-Delhi and others who have been
propagating the Dasam Granth? Why such duality? Why Dharam Parchar Committee
Members and Religious Advisory Board have not pointed out this serious lapse and
recommended stern action against the defaulters/guilty persons? Why such
favourtism when Gurbaani teaches us equality and dignity without any bias or
differentiation?
Will you please examine this aspect in consultation with the
SGPC President, Mukh Sevadars of Darbaar Sahib and Akaal Takht Sahib and then
share your findings with the Sikhs globally? Thanks for your timely action.
Gurmit Singh, an ordinary member of the Guru Khalsa Panth in
Australia

Dear Manjit Singh jee, SGPC's General Secretary & Spokesman,
Waheguru jee ka Khalsa Waheguru jee kee Fateh
It is understood that Mukh Sevadar of Akaal Takht Sahib had issued an
ordinance on 14 May 2002 that henceforth there should not be any discussion
in respect of the Dasam Granth. For violation of this edict, action has been
taken against the Editor, The Spokesman.
Why no action has been contemplated against the Editors of "Sant Sipahi" (1)
Mrs. Kiranjot Kaur and (2) Gurcharanjit Singh Lamba? Despite above-mentioned
ordinance, they have published several articles in favour of Dasam Granth:
Issue ------------------Page---------Name

Another email will follow about "Patna Sahib, Hazoor Sahib" and Virsa Singh.
Will you kindly check up with the President, SGPC and Mukh Sevadar, Akaal
Takht Sahib and then let the diaspora Sikhs know?
Thank you,
Gurmit Singh (Australia)

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh
Subject; About writings of Kala Afgana Ji
It is to bring in the notice of each and every person of ‘Guru
Ki Sangat’ that this is a high time for us to get awakened. Today if we honestly
study our self it will be found beyond a shadow of doubt that from our head to
toe, we have already been badly gripped in the BRHAMNICAL ‘CHAKARVIUH’.
To day, none of our action, thought.. Preaching etc. seems to
be going towards our Supreme Guru. All the more our Pujari Sector & most of
the Preacher sector is accountable for this dilemma.
Yet again this is also a fact that none of the writing on this
earth except ‘Sri Guru Granth Sahib JI’ can be stated as faultless writing. .
It is also beyond doubt that we have got so many other learned
intelligentsias within our community at this complicated juncture. Even then it
is our humble request and submission that the different writings in different
parts of S. GURBAKSH SINGH JI KALA AFGANA with their title ‘VIPRAN KI REET TON
SACH DA MARG’ along with ‘MAAS MAAS KAR MOORAKH JHAGRE’ or not less than any
best light house for the community to identify our self, at the time when we are
passing through worst circumstances
So we shall recommend every body. must to study these books and rise to the
occurrence.
May Akal Purakh facilitate us everybody-
Jagminder Singh
