The video in this article shows Prof (FAKE) Sukhwinder Dadehar discussing the meaning of the verses
AAGYA BAHI AKAAL KI TABEE CHALAYO PANTH
SABH SIKHAN KO HUKAM HAI GURU MANEO GRANTH
of the Dohra by Guru Gobind Singh.
We provide our brief comments included as slides within the video. The video is an extract from a number of sources (e.g. see Figure 1: snapshop from YouTube). This article provides further discussion on the contents of the video.
One version of the complete Dohra as commonly used in Ardas is
AAGYA BAHI AKAAL KI TABEE CHALAYO PANTH
SABH SIKHAN KO HUKAM HAI GURU MANEO GRANTH
GURU GRANTH JI MANEO PARGAT GURAN KI DEH
JO PRABH KO MILBO CHAHAY KHOJ SHABAD MEN LEH
Figure 1: Sukhwinder Dadehar
Vice-Principal Sukhwinder Singh has been invited, together with Gurbachan Singh Panwa and Sarabjit Singh Dhunda to speak at the “Leadership of Guru Granth Sahib Ji Programme” to be held in a number of venues in Malaysia (see the program at the end of this article).
According to Autar Singh the three speakers are the senior staff of Gurmat Gian Missionary College Ludhiana (GGMC Ludhiana)
Sukhwinder Singh is the Vice Principal of GGMC. The other speakers are Gurbachan Singh and Sarabjit Dhunda, Principal and Professor respectively.
FAKE CREDENTIALS
The video starts with FAKE PROFESSOR Sarabjit Dhunda introducing FAKE PROFESSOR Sukhwinder Dadehar.
Sukhwinder Dadehar is another self-appointed FAKE PROFESSOR. Why would one FAKE their credentials but for some motive?
Can we trust such preachers?
BELIEVES THAT OUR LIVING GURU IS A METAPHOR
In his discussion Missionary Sukhwinder stops the Dohra at the verse
“ … … GUR MANEO GRANTH”.
The question is why does he stop at this verse and not complete the Dohra as it is commonly recited during Ardas as follows
AAGYA BAHI AKAAL KI TABEE CHALAYO PANTH
SABH SIKHAN KO HUKAM HAI GURU MANEO GRANTH
GURU GRANTH JI MANEO PARGAT GURAN KI DEH
JO PRABH KO MILBO CHAHAY KHOJ SHABAD MEN LEH
The third verse (magenta italics) is very important since it is in this verses that we are instructed to:
Accept and internalise (ਮਾਨਿਉ) SGGS Ji (ਗੁਰੂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਜੀ) as a the living (ਪ੍ਰਗਟ) embodiment of (ਕੀ ਦੇਹ) our Gurus (ਗੁਰਾਂ).
This means SGGS Ji is OUR LIVING GURU.
So in essence the key message in the Dohra is ACCEPT AND INTERNALISE
- that SGGS Ji is our GURU (not a Granth or Book of knowledge)
- that SGGS Ji is our LIVING GURU (not a metaphor).
Why do I say accept and internalise? By this we must within our inner-self (ਅੰਤਹਕਰਨ) believe that SGGS Ji is our 11th Guru present in a LIVING FORM. This manifests as our SHARDA (FAITH and DEVOTION) to SGGS Ji.
What does LIVING FORM mean?
When we perform Ardas we talk to our GURU. And SGGS Ji talks to us, giving us advise when we take the Hukam Nama. Guru Ji also talks to us when we recite the Shabads in SGGS Ji. We ‘metha tek’, to pay SATKAR, obeisance and respects, to our GURU. We use the best Ramalay for our GURU. We respectfully do ‘chaur sewa’ to our GURU. There are so many activities we perform with humility and respect for our GURU.
All these we do in our SHARDA or FAITH and DEVOTION and our SATKAR in our LIVING GURU SGGS Ji.
How can anyone say that OUR GURU SGGS Ji is a METAPHOR? These are the actions of a MURAKH (ਮੂਰਖ).
To NOT HIGHLIGHT this, is a GROSS NEGLIGENCE on the part of Sukhwinder, as a preacher of Gurbani and Gurmat. This appears to be more Anti-Gurmat.
Does he really know Gurmat and understand Gurbani?
But then again we know of his alignment to the Kala Afghana/Ragi Darshan ideology which does not accept the LIVING GURU concept. So what do you expect from Sukhwinder. He has to ‘tow the line’
AND
MISLEAD THE SANGAT.
Further by stressing the verse “… Guru Maneo Granth” he is stealthily propagating and imposing the EK GRANTH ideology onto the Sangat.
We know that he DENIGRATES THE DASAM GRANTH with the most demeaning and crude language. HENCE, the propagation of the Ek Granth concept, which is by the way, also a Kala Afghana/Ragi Darshan ideology (See Figure 2 for information).
INDOCTRINATION BY AUTOSUGGESTION
Missionary Sukhwinder gets the Sangat to recite there verse “SABH SIKHAN KO HUKAM HAI GURU MANEO GRANTH” with him repeatedly.
Why does he do this?
This methodology is what is termed “AUTO-SUGGESTION TECHNIQUE”; a psychological technique that is commonly used for indoctrination. The intent is to eliminate one’s present believe and replace it with a new concept.
He is moulding the Sangat’s mind to accept the concept of EK GRANTH.
Therefore any other Granths are not to be accepted and taken as irrelevant OR even proclaimed to be imparting WRONG information and/or COMPOSED by opposing elements.
USING THE WORD ‘POOJEYA’ TO MISLEAD
Missionary Sukhwinder intentionally introduces the word POOJEYA (worship) to mislead us (Sangat) that we do not accept any other Granth except SGGS Ji – Ek Granth (there is more to this than what is on the surface. See Figure 2 for more on what is expected).
He links the SHARDA (faith and devotion) and SATKAR related activities, we perform (e.g. perform aarti, celebration of occasions related to our Gurus, using beautiful ramalay, doing chaur sewa), towards our LIVING GURU SGGS Ji, to doing POOJA. He implies that POOJA is not allowed in SGGS Ji.
Why does he think so?
The reason is his ideological alignment, which is everything must be reasoned, logical and can be critically explained. Hence a book or granth cannot be a living entity. Therefore the concept of SGGS Ji being a LIVING GURU is not acceptable. So he interprets our SHARDA as a ritual and terms it POOJA; a ritual conducted towards a book or granth.
Does SGGS Ji condemn POOJA? Let’s see.
SGGS Ji says
ਨਾਉ ਪੂਜੀਐ ਨਾਉ ਮੰਨਿਐ ਅਖੰਡੁ ਸਦਾ ਸਚੁ ਸੋਇ ॥੩॥ SGGS Ji 17 Line 7 Sri Rag Mehla 1
They worship the Naam, and they believe in the Naam. The True One is forever Intact and Unbroken. ||3||
ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸੁਰੁ ਪੂਜੀਐ ਮਨਿ ਤਨਿ ਲਾਇ ਪਿਆਰੁ॥ SGGS Ji 54 Line 9 Sri Rag Mehla 5
Worship the Guru, the Transcendent Lord, with your mind and body attuned to love.
There are hundreds more references to this word in the SGGS Ji. There you go. SGGS Ji does not condemn the word POOJEYA.
What does this mean? Missionary Sukhwinder is either IGNORANT of the true meanings according to Gurbani AND/OR is wearing BLINKERS refusing to refer to accepted credible references AND is misleading the Sangat.
It appears there is much to be wanted about his Gurbani know how.
THE QUESTION ABOUT ‘BRABARTA ਬਰਾਬਰਤਾ’
Missionary Sukhwinder throws a rant about ‘brabarta ਬਰਾਬਰਤਾ ’. Now the question to him is:
Why is he more than happy to do his missionary preaching while talking about ‘brabarta ਬਰਾਬਰਤਾ’, but completely ignores the fact that in the video (see the beginning clip) there is a person at the ‘tabia’ of SGGS Ji, sitting ‘brabar ਬਰਾਬਰਤਾ ’ to SGGS Ji? Further, everyone who ‘meetha tek’ to SGGS Ji, based on his definition, also ‘metha tek’ to the person sitting at the ‘tabia’. Why does he not question this? Why does he HYPOCRITICALLY go on doing his parchar?
Such attitude comes across as of being a HYPOCRITE and MURAKH.
CALLING THE SANGAT’s SHARDA AS MANMAT.
He calls the SANGAT’s act of POOJA (which is done with SHARDA and SATKAR towards our LIVING GURU) a MANMAT. What a JOKE!
This QUESTION arises. What is, believing that SGGS Ji is a BOOK or Granth of KNOWLEDGE? Is it GURMAT?
This appears as HYPOCRISY of the HIGHEST ORDER.
I would term “believing the SGGS Ji as a BOOK or Granth of KNOWLEDGE” as MANMAT of the HIGHEST ORDER.
What do you think Sangat Ji?
CONCLUSION
Do you want to attend the presentation of this Missionary preacher? Do you want to be indoctrinated in the Kala Afghana/Ragi Darshan Ideology?
PLEASE BE WISE AND BEWARE OF MISCREANTS. DO YOU WANT TO LISTEN TO THE ANTI-SIKHI AND ANTI-GURMAT RANTS FROM THEM.
Thank you. ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫਤੇਹ
