a time for introspection
by baljeet saluja on May 21, 2007 05:38 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

I have a firm belief in Sikh religion and i think to some extent we the sikhs are to be blamed for . We have our children and near dear ones cutting their hair , beard and losing the identity which Guru Gobind Singh Ji gave us, as we started losing faith in the religious beliefs these Babas came to the forefront with huge followings taking Guru Granth Sahib as their Holy Book and preaching to the general public which gets influenced.
this is a time for introspection of what faults we have done and how we can improve our future generations. Sikhs in foreign countries and even the English people have tried to follow the Teachings of Guru Granth Sahib.
As Regards the Baba at the dera he is imitating Guru Gobind Singh giving the name INSAAN instead of Singh, asking his disciples to drink Ruhaani JAAM similar to the Amrit and he needs to simply apologise for the act if he really believes in the teacings of the Gurus to apologise without any hesitation.
but so far he has not done that assuming he is a GOd himself.
Violence is no solution although being an extremely sensitive issue it is bound to provoke feelings from the Sikhs.
SO IT IS TIME TO MAKE ANOTHER RESOLUTION TO HAVE DEEP FAITH IN SIKH RELGION AND SAVE OUR RELIGION ESPECIALLY IN THE NEW GENERATION AND NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO TAKE OVER.

You are sick & fanatic thats why u say sikhs are to be blamed since few sikhs are cutting there hair.
Those sikhs who cut there hairs are becoming modern, come out of fanatic thoughts, change yourself, follow the world and enjoy.

Sikhs are themselves bent upon destroying their own religion..look how they behaved in the golden temple & what Hukmnama's they are issuing. Its like saying "only sikh religion to be worshiped". Akal Takht is not the Govt. Let the Law take its course on Dera controversy.

I respect your faith and justify it. Its your right to be like that. But do you really believe that a clown can reach a respectable place by imitating. I personally believe that his dressing and acting like great Guru Gobinsingh ji is foolish act but really not a call for do and die on part of Sikhs. He did not uttered any word in public which is derogatory to Saints. People who are in crisis of identity do such kind of things. Such people become important because they are given importance. They should be ignored. A persons foolishness can not be used to make opinion for community. Other people also have right to live and believe what they think is good. Let them if they are not uttering derogatory or let the law of the land decide. How one can call people to relinquish their faith, close their centres and run away??
