Join SikhsIndia - let's try to save the Sikhi

We are really worried over the fate of Sikhi. Kids from Sikh families are trimming beards, wearing caps, consuming alcohal and other drugs. They can not speak or read Punjabi, can't even recite Gurbani.

Have you ever thought, where are we heading for ? If you have any ideas, suggestions, please share with us. If you wish to work with us, please let us know, about you with a pic & cell number.

You can add your comments, suggestions, ideas on our SikhsIndia blog, below this post.

Punjab on boil again over removal of Sikh holy scripture from Ravidass temples

By Satinder Bains

CHANDIGARH: The move by a section of Ravidass community to disintegrate from Sikh religion and set up aseparate religion 'Ravidas dharma' has created a social and caste conflict in Punjab.

The members of Dera Sach Khand Ballan in Jalandhar district, brain behind separate religion has announced to replace Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh holy scripture, with Amritbani Satguru Ravidas Maharaj, a new granth prepared by them. Tthe Doaba region of Punjab has strong presence of Ravidass community, now vrtically divided on the issue.

The Sikh clergy and the leader of community have also criticised the attempts to separate Bani of Guru Ravidass from Guru Granth Sahib. Certain deras within the Ravidass sect have started opposing dera Ballan's move.

Punjab police has also rounded up certain Bahujan Samaj Party leaders who were allegedly trying to instigate one section and mobilising public support against replacement of Guru Granth Sahib. Three persons, including Ambedkar Sena (Mool Niwasi) state president Harbhajan Suman, Sena member Brajesh Kumar Gauri and local BSP leader Sukhwinder Tony, have been booked.

The move to declare Ravidass sect an independent religion is considetred the aftermath of killing of Sant Rama Nand head of dera Ballan in Viena (Austria) by Sikh youth. The Sikhs there had accused Ravidass temple management for showing disrespect to Guru Grnath Sahib.

Followers at all the around 40 shrines of the Ravidassia sect in India used to pay obeisance to Guru Granth Sahib. Many Ravidas temples have also came up in other countries.

Police has suggested to the leaders of Ravidass community that they create parallel places of worship for the new scripture, instead of displacing Guru Granth Sahib, to avoid hurting Sikh sentiments.

Sant Surinder Dass head of Guru Ravidass dera Adda Kathar in Jalandhar, has opposed move of separate holy scripture for Ravidass community. He has told his followers to pay obeisance to Guru Granth Sahib.

Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal has said that state government would take every possible step to diffuse the situation and maintain peace and harmony. The government it is learnt is making secret parleys with Ravidass sect leaders to find a solution. It is feared that move of Ravidass community might have backlash in Sikh community, leading to conflict between two communities. Sikhs have been opposing removal of Guru Grnath Sahib from Ravidass shrines.

Sikh religion is controlled by big POLITICIANS because of the BIG MONEY involved in the Gurudwaras

Dear Dr. Gurdeep,

Sat Sri Akal

Your writings are of a true intellectual who is trying to understand intricacies of Sikh religion.

Unfortunately everything is so complicated and Sikh religion is controlled by big POLITICIANS because of the BIG MONEY involved in the Gurudwaras nobody can solve the problems faced by Sikh religion today. Why I am saying this is because there is not even a single true Sikh as per the teachings of Guru Granth Sahib. Everyone has his own personal interest involved because of so much MONEY involved.

As you know I have just finished reading Prof Sahib Singh s DARPAN 4th time completely and as per the teachings of GURUS not even one Sikh is following the teachings of our GURUS. I consider myself most fortunate to have read word by word meaning in my lifetime

Prof Darshan Singh started his career by doing KIRTAN in Greater Kailash around 30 years back when we used to stay there and I am a big fan of him. I considered him closest to GOD just like Prof Sahib Singh but of late something has gone wrong with Prof Darshan Singh I think he should forget about all and start KIRTAN again

I have so many things to tell you about SIKHS because you are the only one who can understand.

Sorry short of time

Dr. GURJIT SINGH

Step taken in haste: Ballan head's deputy

What is happening is not what Sant Ramanad, whose killing in a Ravidass Temple in Vienna triggered the reaction, preached and practised. This (severing ties with Guru Granth Sahib) is certainly not what he would have liked, he pointed out. “Sant Ji would extensively quote from the Guru Granth Sahib during his discourses and teach Gurbani to students at Dera Ballan,’’ he added.
