ਗੁਰਪ੍ਰੀਤਸਿੰਘਸਮਰਾ
Dear Santokh Singh ji and other readers,
Santokh Singh ji has asked the question “Where it is written that Ram committed suicide?”
1) It is written right within the Ramayana in the seventh book of Ramayana called “Uttara Kanda”. Most of the translators do not go into details about it.
Ram first forced his brother Lakshman to commit suicide by jumping into Saryu river and later Ram felt so depressed and frustrated from his life that he himself committed suicide with entire population of Ayodhya including animals.
I am quoting directly from the translation of Ramayan :
All the people of Ayodhya followed Ram with love and devotion. Even the animals followed him, the cows and goats and elephants, not to mention the monkeys and bears. The very stones on the streets of Ayodhya wept, for they could not follow him and the trees bent low and brushed his head while he passed. Every creature which could walk or roll or dance or totter, followed him. Sumantra was waiting at the banks of the river with the four red horses which he had freed from the chariot. Guha, the hunter king was also there. The whole pan came to the pellucid waters of the river Sarayu, which circled the land of Kosala like a silver girdle. Ram walked into the icy cold water accompanied by all the rest. The waters closed over their heads lit a benediction. The heavens opened and the celestials rained flower Brahma spoke, "0 gracious Vishnu. Be pleased to return to your celestial abode. Thou art the Soul of All - indestructible, immutable an eternal. Be pleased to give up this form of maya and resume your swaroopa”
I am quoting from the English translation of well known Bengali civil servant, writer and historian who translated many books including Ramayana and Mahabharat and also served as the President of Indian National Congress in 1899; Romesh Chunder Dutt :
The death of Rama and his brothers was in accordance with Hindu ideas of the death of the righteous. Lakshman died under somewhat peculiar circumstances. A messenger from heaven sought a secret conference with Rama, and Rama placed Lakshman at the gate, with strict injunctions that whoever intruded on the private conference should be slain. Lakshman himself had to disturb the conference by the solicitation of the celestial rishi Durvasa, who always appears on earth to create mischief. And true to the orders passed by Rama, he surrendered his life by penances, and went to heaven.
In the fulness of time, Rama and his other brothers left Ayodhya, crossed the Sarayu, surrendered their mortal life, and entered heaven.”
This can also be read online by clicking on the following link and going to the end of the page.
The Ramayana and Mahabharata: Conclusion
In the above it is clear that first Ram forced his younger brother Lakshman to commit suicide and then he himself committed suicide.
By the way, Santokh Singh ji it is only a fictional story. No Ram ever existed, it is just like the stories and cartoon that children watch today like Superman, Spiderman, Tom and Jerry. You should not worry about such fictional characters. Govt. of India itself has declared that Ram never existed.
Also Santokh Singh ji has quoted the line :
ਰਾਮਕਥਾਜੁਗਜੁਗਅਟਲਸਭਕੋਊਭਾਖਤਨੇਤ॥
ਸੁਰਗਬਾਸਰਘਬਰਕਰਾਸਗਰੀਪੁਰੀਸਮੇਤ॥
ਜੋਇਹਕਥਾਸੁਨੈਅਰਗਾਵੈ॥
ਦੂਖਪਾਪਤਿਹਨਿਕਟਆਵੈ॥
The second line itself says that Ram went to heaven(committed suicide) with entire city.
The next line in this ****** Kavita is
“Bishan Bhagat kiye Phal hoyi, Aadh Bayadh Chhe sake naa koi”
This line means that listening to this story will provide you the benefits of devotion of Vishnu or Vishnu Bhagti.
I am quoting the English Translation of Dr. Jodh Singh of entire Paragraph:
Rama’s story, recited daily by people, will live for ever. Thus Rama went to heaven along with the entire town.
Thus concludes the chapter dealing with Rama’s departure to heaven along with the entire townsmen in Rama Avtar.
Chaupai
He who sings or hears this story, sufferings and sins will not come near him. The result of the devotion to Vishnu’s incarnation will be that no physical or mental ailment will ever affect him”(Sri Dasam Granth Sahib Dr. Jodh Singh and Dr. Dharam Singh, Vol II, page 271)
Departure to heaven with entire town means committed suicide with entire town.
Note : Before anyone objects about my calling it ****** Kavita, let me make it clear that I call it ****** Kavita not because of its contents. I call it ****** Kavita because it is written by group of ******s.

Line 2
(Brahma Avtar(Up Avtar) Sahib,Chapter Commands to Brahma)

There (weather) Shiv will come or Lord Krishna will come. Where Shri Kal(Wealth of time ie God) will take you tied. Weather Lord Rama after coming be helpful. Where son, mother, father, brother are not(existing )..85..
(Charitropakhyan Sahib 266).

So only a few examples given where in Shri Dasham Granth Sahib, we have explicitly given that we are not to worship Lord Rama.

Do further what is written in there just to inform that there is hardly any knowledge of Sikh or Hindu texts or their language, when it comes to our self acclaimed scholars like brother G S Sumra.

Rather it will be proved that by two methods used by him being made visible that ideological leaning of our Brother is hardly towards Gurmat.

  • Partial truth and concealing the whole truth as done here is modus operandi of professional propagandists who could be on the pay role of some anti Sikh forces. Such sort of Propaganda is used by communists like SFI, MCC etc. in India. Since mid seventies such guys did made an alliance with ruling forces of India, who want to separate faith from politics. Sikhism has to move with faith in politics , so attempts are to finish it off, by the rulers.
  • Abusive language instead of answering to the facts is another mark of communists. By this they try to make the person trying to end their false propaganda, offended and let him go off the issue, be deviated from the real issue. As per the views of Mr Kala Afghana Ji, God could not be cruel as told in Japu Sahib vide. “Namo Nit Naryane Krur Karme” as God of Sikh is sweet talker “Mith Bolrha Ji”(Ang 784). As per this, who follows the God, one has to be like God only(Ang 1372). So by using foul language Bhai Sumra is not going as per Gurmat. God bless him for hurting our sentiments.

First let us see if his understading the quotations from Ramayama(ie Valmiki Ramayana) are OK. And then we will see that there is great difference between that text and Ram Avtar Sahib onto the Tenth Master(In former rest is in brief but most details are given on war, so it is there to enthuses the spirit of war in the read and nothing else).

So if we read Bala Kandam of Valmiki Ramayana, we go to Sarg 16. Readers can read it and will find that Lord Rama is told to be the Incarnation of demigod Vishnu, who is told be to given the attribute like all pervading (Verse 1) and indestructible/ spend able . Then whole story of that Demigod is told, which makes him primal super god in this text. Here other demigods tell him to take form to kill demon Ravana.

While in Shri Dasham Granth Sahib we find. Vishnu along side other demigods, going to the God of Sikhs and from that God taking command to take birth.(Guru has also told by this, that in history also, it was only God of Sikhs who was supreme and will ever be supreme).

Then there some total contrast when we see the dialogue between Lord Parsuram Ji and Lord Ram Ji, which is nowhere to be found in any Hindu Text, where Brahmins are belittled.

“Therefore talk with restraint, otherwise you will receive the reward for such talk just now.”151.
Balkandam Sarg,75 and 76 has story of Rama and Parsurama but in difference from here. There Rama takes power off from Parsurama and destroyed some lokas/ colonies or world created by Prarsurama in space. Then Rama is told to carry out worship of Parsurama. In these two Sargas one Sarg has story of Vishnu seemingly powerful to Shiva.

So coming to last part as in this article given above.

We do find that in Christianity we find Lord Jesus ascent to heaven with his mortal body. Same is the case with Prophet Mohammad (SWAS) , the last Prophet of Islam as per various Islamic ideologies, moving up to heaven via Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem(Also claimed by Jews and Christians) with his body.

Some Sikhs claim same things with First Master and Tenth Master(and perhaps the Fifth Master). While in the case of Baba Atal Rai and Baba Gurditta Ji, Sikhs believe that both left their bodies as they were ordered to do so by their respective Guru Father as both have shown the miracle to bring dead back to life.

Yes for a person with leftist mentality and no faith in spirituality such things are false. So not having faith in such things is mark of uniqueness for the Sikhs but these are not the Sikhs of Ten Forms of Baba Nanak or Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, they are Sikhs/followers of Karl Marx.

While Ang 1165/1166 does talk of brining dead back to life by Akal off course. Everything is within the capability of God(Ang 962).

So if Akal makes are person’s ego mind destroyed, and only universal mind of Akal ie energy manifesting self in all, working in brain, that person is dead while alive(Ang 33) or librated while alive(Ang 294).

So if energy manifesting in the form of Human body, goes back to original source or primal source of energy ie God, that could be hypothecation of Going with body into Sachkhand(Sikh point of view see

Ang 846), while going into space, with body, where some part of spirit of dead goes otherwise could do something with the level faith offor non Sikh faiths reaching their destination of salvation. It is the level of reaching those places by non Sikhs, while Sikhs go much advanced.

So with this let us see weather Rama committed suicide as per Ramyana as Bhai Sumra tells from reading translation or did he compelled Laxmana to commit suicide. And what is there in Shri Dasham Granth Sahib, and at last does Shri Dasham Granth Sahib tells to worship Rama at all ?

So we see the Uttarkandam.
Sarg 103. Here a demigod called “Kaal” comes in disguise of a Tapsavi/hermit doing strict meditation. Tells Laxmana, that he wants to meet Rama. He is taken to Rama. He makes Rama agree that anyone, who listen to their dialogue will be killed by Rama. Meanwhile Laxman is sent on the door as a gate keeper, not allowing anyone in.

Sarg104. “kaal “ gives his identity (in verse 2, this “kaal” tells that he is killer of all and the son of Vishnu, we see that in the case of Sikhs, their God Kal, in fact creates Vishnu). Kaal tells Rama the message of Brahma, the demigod. Brahma gives a brief account of himself and his relation to Vishnu , other incarnation of Vishnu is told , purpose of incarnation of Rama is toldand then tells that time slated for the incarnation of Rama is over yet if you(Rama) want to stay here more you can stay.Rama decides to come back to the place where he came from.(Go back to Vishnu’s Areas).

Sarg 104: outside the cabin of Rama, Laxman finds Sage Durvasa coming. He wants to meet Rama, Laxmana refuses, then sage threatens to curse the family al together. Laxmana goes to Rama and tells him of arrival of Durvasa. Rama says adieu to “kaal” and meets Durvasa, who wanted the food after fast. He is given the food.After sage is gone. Rama remembers his agreement to Kaal, that who so ever listens to their dialogue will be killed by Rama. He feels sorry for Laxman. As in sorrows thinks that all this will not remain.
Sarg 106: here Rama is told to be sad while Laxmana tells him Rama to kill him. Rama being unhappy consult his priests and ministers. All had no reply. Sage Vashist gives his view. He says that he foresaw this great calamity, Thereafter he tells that to up keep the faith/dharma for the welfare of creation he should renounce Laxmana.

Then as per verse 13, Lord Rama tells Laxman, that he renounces Laxmana. For Sadhu/ person in way of God, renouncing is same as killing. Laxmana’s eyes are filled with water. He moves away without visiting his house.

On the bank(not in the) of the Saryu river, Laxman does Achman(it is washing some part of face, hand and other parts of body with saying some spells or Mantra). Then he folded his hand, put control on all senses and stopped the breath of life. With Yoga, Laxman stopped the breath and demigods, sages and fairies rained flowers on him. Laxmana disappeared with his body from the eyes of humans, At that point of time, he was taken to the heaven by king of demigods Indra. Seeing the fourth part of Vishnu Laxmana arrived , demigods became happy and all worshipped him.( Here we find that Laxman being taken to heaven with body is told about). So as there is no death mentioned, then how could there be suicide. As before Birth Laxman was Vishnu only and after birth he was Fourth Part. Had he died then he would not have been Laxman or Fourth Part, as he still is Laxman and not became Vishnu again that means that he did not die).

Sarg 107: here After being unhappy for the departure of Laxmana, Rama decides himself to leave. He decides that his throne be given to Bharata, his another half brother. Bharata refuses the throne and tells that he loves Rama more then throne or heaven, he will also accompany Rama. And tells hims to send a messenger to fourth brother Shartughana and divide the empire between Luv and Kush with north and south respectively.The whole city of Rama wants to go with him. Rama divides his empire into two and gives one part each to his two sons, Lav and Kush. Send them to their respective capitals and sends a messenger to Shatrughnana.

Sarg 108: Shatrughana knows this, he divides his state into two and gives it to his two sons. Comes to Rama and tells him that he would go with him. Bears, Monkeys and Demons come to Rama and tell him that they too want to accompany him. Sugreeve it allowed but Vibhishan and Hanuman are told to stay on earth former should worship Vishnu while later one is to spread devotion till doom, while Jamvant, Maind and Dvivid is told to stay till Kaliyuga is to come.(Story of Jambhvant and Dvivid is further told in Shrimad Bhagvat Purana Dasham Skandha/Tenth Shoulder Uttrardh/later half chapter 56 and 67 respectively. ).Chapter 17 of Balakandam has the details of various demigods getting incarnation as monkeys etc. to help Vishnu as Rama(while Hanuman and Jambvant are told already there and Maind and Dvivid are incarnation of doctor demigod ie Ashvini Kumars.).

Sarg 109: here after rituals Rama moves to go to heaven. Demigods, demigoddess, spells, texts etc in human forms accompany him. His subjects, Monkeys, Bears, Demons all go with him. Insects, micro organism , ghosts etc of city also go with him.

Sarg 110: here Rama goes to about 3 miles or 1.5 Yojana away from Aydhya. Look at west and saw Saryu River. There were inward sucking cycles everywhere in Sarya, after moving around, they come to a good place. There Brahma came with demigods and saints with millions of divine crafts. There was glory, raining of flower, playing of musical instrument. Rama started to move towards river Saryu with feet. Brahma welcomes Rama. He tells Rama to enter in his(Rama/Vishnu) world with form of element/with body or whichever form he wants. Either you merge with the form of four armed Vishnu or merge with sky like, eternal , unexpressed Brahm/ materialistic manifestation form. Other then Yog Maya, who is Sita ,who is your old power, no one could understand your truth. You are tension less, destruction less, without old age and beyond materialistic manifestation of God. As per verse 12 Lord Rama after hearing the Brahma, entered into Vaishnavite light with his body, accompanied by his brothers.

Then demigods and other mythological creatures did sing glory of Rama. Ram then said to Brahma, about giving a proper lok/heavenly adobe to the group of people accompanying Rama. Rama praises his followers for their devotion. Brahma tells him of one such Lok called Santanak, where these will get place and each of the devotee of Rama, who dies remembering him will reach there. Some good thing about such lok is told by Brahma(note in Hindus, worshiper of Krishna go to Golok, of Vishnu to Baikunth, of Shiv to Shiv Lok, so here Lok for Rama worship is told).

All monkeys reverted back to demigods they came out from, while Sugreev went back to sun block.

After Brahma made an announcement of Santanak Lok, all people having tear of joys took a dip into Saryu, at Gopratar Ghat/bank of Saryu. On taking dip, they left their life and body and boarded the divine crafts. This happened to birds, animals, movable and non movable organism. Same happened to monkeys, bears and demons. Sending all people to Santanka Lok, Brahma along side demigods returned to their places.

So this is what is there in Ramayana.

Then what do we have in Shri Dasham Granth Sahib Ji.

Page 643, Line 2

(Sarg 97 of Uttarkandam of Shrimadvalmeekiya Ramayana has different story of Sita going into earth and Chapter 99 talks of Rama ruling the empire after Sita going to earth)

While here in Shri Dasham Granth Sahib, Sita does not enter earth at the place of Rama doing Rajuya Yagna but at house of Rama after making a picture of Ravana, and in her separation Rama leaves his body by Yoga, then his three brothers including Laxmana leave their bodies. Then bodies of Rama, Sita and brothers of Ram are burnt and empire is divided between tow sons of Rama and Son of Bharat, Laxman and Shatrughana.(as we see that Sita also goes under earth, it appears that her body is exhumed and then cremated in this case, here death of Sita is being due to her vanishing in earth, that may mean falling in pit, while being disturbed after listening to Rama, having doubt upon her integrity.(Verse 844,845 RamAvtar Sahib )

Likewise here subjects going along side Rama to Heaven does not mean that all went together. It may be understood that by this time all have gone to heaven or are no more.

So let us talk about some lines which Brother Sumra has some problem.


ਰਾਮ ਕਥਾ ਜੁਗ ਜੁਗ ਅਟਲ ਸਭ ਕੋਈ ਭਾਖਤ ਨੇਤ ਸੁਗ ਬਾਸ ਰਘੁਬਰ ਕਰਾ ਸਗਰੀ ਪੁਰੀ ਸਮੇਤ ੮੫੮
Raam kathaa jug atal sabh koibhaakhat net|| Sug baas Raghubar karaa sagripurisamet||858||
The story of Ram remain immortal throughout the ages and in this way Ram went to abide in heaven alongwith (all the resident of) the city.858.

Page 642, Line 3

But first let us see who is Ram here when we talk of story of Rama?

We have term Rama used for God as in Shri Dasham Granth Sahib Ji.

Line 8
(Chaubees Avtar Sahib)

Then we have story of Ram being referred to story of pervading God in Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.


(੯੭੦-੧੧, ਰਾਮਕਲੀ, ਭਗਤਕਬੀਰਜੀ)

jaanee jaanee rae raajaa raam kee kehaanee ||
I have come to know the story of my Sovereign Lord.
11 Raamkalee Saint Kabir
(Ang 970)

Also there is an instance in Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, where we find that term Ram is used both for Lord Rama and all pervading God of Sikhs.

Let us see Salok Mahla Nauvan.



(੧੪੨੯-, ਸਲੋਕ, )
ਰਾਮੁ ਗਇਓਰਾਵਨ ਗਇਓ ਜਾ ਕਉ ਬਹੁ ਪਰਵਾਰੁ
raam gaeiou raavan gaeiou jaa ko bahu paravaar ||
Raam Chand passed away, as did Raawan, even though he had lots of relatives.
3 Salok Guru Teg Bahadur


(੧੪੨੯-, ਸਲੋਕ, )

kahu naanak thhir kashh nehee supanae jio sansaar ||50||
Says Nanak, nothing lasts forever; the world is like a dream. ||50||
3 Salok Guru Teg Bahadur
(Ang 1429)

Here term Ram is used for Lord Rama.

While here we find


(੧੪੨੮-੧੨, ਸਲੋਕ, )
ਜਗਤੁ ਭਿਖਾਰੀ ਫਿਰਤੁ ਹੈ ਸਭ ਕੋ ਦਾਤਾ ਰਾਮੁ
jagath bhikhaaree firath hai sabh ko dhaathaa raam ||
The world wanders around begging, but the Lord is the Giver of all.
12 Salok Guru Teg Bahadur


(੧੪੨੮-੧੨, ਸਲੋਕ, )
ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਮਨ ਸਿਮਰੁ ਤਿਹ ਪੂਰਨ ਹੋਵਹਿ ਕਾਮ ੪੦
kahu naanak man simar thih pooran hovehi kaam ||40||
Says Nanak, meditate in remembrance on Him, and all your works will be successful. ||40||
12 Salok Guru Teg Bahadur
(Ang 1428)

While here we find term Ram for all pervading God of Sikhs. Both are in same composition .

So by the understanding of this way. It could be understood as
ਰਾਮ ਕਥਾ ਜੁਗ ਜੁਗ ਅਟਲ ਸਭ ਕੋਈ ਭਾਖਤ ਨੇਤ

Raam kathaa jug atal sabh koibhaakhat net||
Story of all pervading lord is impeccable for age, all say this daily..

ਸੁਗ ਬਾਸ ਰਘੁਬਰ ਕਰਾ ਸਗਰੀ ਪੁਰੀ ਸਮੇਤ ੮੫੮
Sug baas Raghubar karaa sagripurisamet||858||
Lord Rama did reside in heaven along side all the city..85..
(this only means that mortal lord Rama is did and so is the city in which he lived, term Surag Vas is proverb used to portray death in Hindi Language).
ਇਤਿ ਰਾਮ ਭਿਰਾਤ ਤ੍ਰੀਅਨ ਸਹਿਤ ਸੁਰਗ ਗਏ ਅਥ ਸਗਰੀ ਪੁਰੀ ਸਹਿਤ ਸੁਰਗ ਗਏ
It(i) Raam bhiraat treean sahit surag gae|| Ath sagripurisahit surag gae||
End of Rama’s brother went to heaven with their wives.. Start all city alongside went to heaven.
(After the end to brothers of Rama going to heaven , we find all city alongside going to heaven, that means that rest of the city of Rama is also dead).

So story of God of Sikhs is firm for ages while Lord Rama along his family and city are dead.



ਜੋ ਇਹ ਕਥਾ ਸੁਨੈ ਅਰੁ ਗਾਵੈ ਦੂਖ ਪਾਪ ਤਿਹ ਨਿਕਟਿ ਆਵੈ ਬਿਸਨ ਭਗਤਿ ਕੀ ਫਲ ਹੋਈ ਆਧਿ ਬਯਾਧਿ ਛ੍ਵੈ ਸਕੈ ਕੋਇ ੮੫੯

10 Gaurhee Poorbee Saint Kabir

While in Shri Dasham Granth Sahib Ji we are told to not to worship Vishnu at all)

(Charitropakhyan Sahib 266, Verse 118)
Story is given about Vishnu committing adultery with Tulsi, the wife of Jallandher demon, who was in fact the brother of Vishnu’s wife Laxmi. He was cursed to be stone called Saligram and he is worshipped with Tulsi(Basil leaves type of plant).

(in case some one gives first sentence only, then one can prove that Guru Granth Sahib Ji preaches the stone worship, only the next line tells that stone and basil worship is to meditate of pervading lord).

So Vishnu issue is also sorted.

Then we are told about place and time of this composition. And at last we are again told to not to worship any Puranic Rama.

So Akal only knows that why this last verse was concealed by Brother Sumra. Now let us talk about concept of Kanjer Kavita.

As per Mr. Sumra, it is the work of Kanjer, so it is called Kanjer Kavita. Who is Kanjer.

In North India, there is a nomadic tribe, who is apostate from four Varnas so is Vratya out caste. Its profession is that its female folks are sex workers and male folks go for hunting.(North India’s dread poacher Sansar Chand is from this tribe). Know days they are resettled and do carry out household works and other professions.(Four Varnas of India only constitute about 28%, 14% twice born and rest Sudra, while majority of Indian do not come even in either of Four Varnas based upon an article in 1990, das read during Mandal Commission agitation) .

Other name for Kanjers is Kunjars or Giharas. Their tribe goddess in Mata Maharani.

The branch of Kanjer has same root, from which other Branches emerge like Bazigar, Bawariya, Sikiligar, Labana, Sansi, Paradhi, Sapera, Dhanuk etc. Incidentally gypsies prosecuted in Europe by Hitler for being non Aryan are from the same stalk. Tenth Master had love for these outcastes. While jatts like Maha Singh of Majha deserted Guru, Bhai Vachitar Singh(a Sikilgar) gave his life. There is an another instance where Barar Jatts wanted money from Tenth Master, as they were mercenaries and did a sort of trade unionism. From Sainsis did we had Maharaja Ranjeet Singh.

So if a person due to having surname like Sumra(often in jatt) insults the out caste. Such person is neither Sikh nor even communist but a racial fascist.

Such person should remember that in Kutch of Gujarat, unlike in Punjab, where landed farmers are deemed Vyshya and landless Jatts as Sudras, We have one outcaste nomads. They are called “Jatts”.

So as per the saying of Gurbani, being with lowest of lowest(Ang 15).
Das (vijaydeep Singh)will prefer to call one self as Kanjer then being called Sumra or Virk(to which ancestor of Das belong from paternal side).

Had Mr Sumra being in India, he could have been prosecuted for using caste based statements. Likewise as often they claim that they will only talk from Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, does such term Kanjer comes in Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji ?

This is the biggest irony of Sanskritised Jatts who oppose Shri Dasham Granth Sahib, these Jatts have forgotten their actual place and thought them to mercantile Bhapas, who being from twice born are often away from rural folk urban poor, when they live in cities and do not mix up with poor. In such condition they find Shri Dasham Granth Sahib, unacceptable and vulgar. While Tenth Master spent his childhood with Bhai Jaita and Sangta, Comrades of his fathers were people like Lakhi Shah Banjara and Makkhan Shah Lubana.

If these Sanskritized people mix up with Dalits (or other oppressed)like Tenth Master did. Shri Dasham Granth Sahib, will the manual to bring in the rule of oppressed. Be it Indian Dalit, be it African , Hispanic or native Latin American or aborigine of Australia.

1 You accuse SPN members for Supporting Kala Afgana; then
2 You accuse SPN members for Supporting Sumra; then
3 You accuse SPN members for Supporting Gyani Jarnail Singh;
4 You accuse SPN members for Supporting Vaheguruseeker;
5 You accuse SPN members for Supporting vijaydeep singh;
6 You accuse SPN members for Supporting Flana & Timkana

So, basically, you accuse everybody who does not adhere to your own way of thinking. It seems that the whole world has stopped evolving ever since you established a view point on a particular topic. This is very lame Inder Singh ji, very hypocritical of you.

This diversity of views and acceptance of various view points is what SPN so unique. You have written 400 posts in this forum and out of these there is not even a single post, or i may put if quite mildly, you have miserably failed to to share what are your views on that given topic. All you have managed to done is cut and paste from internet and then;

7 You even accused SPN members for infringing copyrights. If we make a case of copyright infringements then you would be culprit number one.

8 And then, You accuse SPN administration for deleting most of rubbish you copy and paste from internet;

Wow, this is turing out to be cronic case of something went wrong with someone else. i can go on adding to list but others may also add to this list of accusations Inder Singh ji has made at SPN forum.

Are you not tired of accusing all and everybody day in day out. Get a chill pill Sir.

Inder Singh ji and i must add, your undercover supporters like Singh ji from Canada, you have to learn that there can be multiple perspectives on the same topic and there are bound to some peoples personal views going to adhere with someone's else point of view. If is quite naive to go on accusing all and everybody. when you and your so called supporters have failed miserably to any kind of constructive discussion goin on. We disparately need to look beneath our own dirty collar sometimes.

Please treat this message as my friendly advice, lest you again 9. accuse that nobody warned be before hand. If you think you can intimidate us by way threatening or other ways then you are mistaken my dear friends. Be informed that all the threats you make go on record at this forum and we can trace all of you to the PC in your living rooms.

Vijaydeep Singh ji,

Guru Fateh.

I have read you above veeery looooong essay: Ramayana and Ram Avtar Sahib: Misunderstood by Brother Sumra

I do not want to waste the bandwidth of this great forum to copy and paste the whole article but I have a few questions which I hope you respond in lay man's terms. You do not have to Copy & Paste Gurbani to prove your point because it has not fulfilled the objective in the above essay as I see it.

1. What is the point of this essay?

2. What are you trying to prove with the essay?

3. What does this essay have to do with anything about Sikh teachings given to us in SGGS- our ONLY GURU by Guru Gobind Singh?

4. Who are you trying to prove wrong and right and for what reasons based on Gurmat Ideals of SGGS?

5. What is your objective and goal by writing this long essay?

6. How does it enhance my Sikhi ideals given to all of us in SGGS?

7. What is the historical significance for the Sikhs in all this when no one is sure who wrote the DG, Ramayana and other books which are just mere speculations. But we all know who wrote SGGS?

8. In other words, and, your point is?

Accusations have basis. Try to learn to entertain an opposing view point instead of clamping censorship. Your censorship policy is not going to shut our mouth.We will continue to oppose anti panthic views and distortions.

Try to be factual. I never wrote that SPN is supporting Vijaydeep. Do not add things from your own side.

It is not only singh but quite a few others who have spoken against the style of your functioning have written to me. I brought only singh to attention of your staff. but that does not mean otehrs have not left.

Ahaa! so you are a supporter of Vijaydeep Ji? Right?

There are more 8500 members at SPN and so you would accuse all of them to be anti-panthic! Right? I am least bothered about who are your supporters etc.

Its an irony that lack of agenda at SPN to few people like you looks like an agenda in itself... the only things that has been deleted from your cut and paste job is baseless personal attacks on fellow members, which are your only addition to the these posts and which have nothing to do with topic. As a matter of policy Any personal attacks, insults will be removed without notice. And proclaimed offenders will be encouraged to leave the network. :yes:

You keep on bragging about Panthic views:
Whose view are these?
Where are these views written?
Are they documented Sikh Dharma Views?
Who and when wrote these views?
If you could have managed to post even a single panthic views duly supported by any so called Panthic authorities then we would have surely like to keep them posted.

And, one thing more you have to understand is that if a members express his views that does not mean it is engraved on wall and supported by SPN. This is very important to understand that these so called anti-Panthic views do exist and we need to create a kind of intellegence to tackle such views... SPN provides you this ground to nullify so called panthic views but all people like you can do is accuse baselessly, you are only exposing your own lack of competency nothing more. This has been the fate of Sikh philosophy lately. We have falied miserably to counter these so-called anti-panthic views.

Inder ji,

Guru Fateh.

What you wrote below is a simple lie. You threatened me saying that you will come to Las Vegas and sort me out in the Gurdwara. You even lied about Las Vegas having only one Gurdwara. Then I posted the addresses of two Gurdwaras alongwith their phone numbers on purpose so you could get my phone number through them which you did and called me. And when I asked you which place in Punjab you were from, you got all angry.You showed how insecure you were there and then and nothing has changes so far.

I am still waiting for you here. I told you to come with your dhoti and topi on and show your trueself. You never had the courage to do so. You have shown your true colors so far. Your threats mean nothing, it shows how low you can stoop to peddle your Hindu agenda.

HOW ODD! Guru Nanak also tells us that He is pleased with His Creation. So why are you not. This is a sick and sadistic message. Thank you for making a clean admission regarding where you stand in relation to your fellow human beings.


II have one agenda and that is i do not tolerate ninda of my guru sahiban. I do not care if someone slanders me.

We already have heard and understood your agenda for months. Who placed you in charge of making decisions of "ninda" but of course you have never slacked off from that against other people.

So if He is present in all of his creation -- Tell me how slandering of fellow man is not also slander of Him?

I have been attacked personally right from the beginning by a few memebers. They are in the habit of attacking person instead of subject. There is no caution to them. When i respond my post is deleted.

You want me to bring to your attention?

No because you have been doing it nonstop for about 2 or 3 weeks now.

You have a declared policy of deleting any news from Panthic weekly and DD taksal websites.May i ask what is the reason for that.Are they not panthic and especially when they have sacrificed every time for panth.

There is no such policy. I myself post from Panthic weekly and DD taksal websites and often refer members to the DD taksal web site on specific questions. We have a practice of questioning the content of Panthic Weekly. We can go into detail but not right now. You still don't get it. We are not opposed to diverse content. We are opposed to witch-hunts in the name of the Satguru by people who claim to be the annointed among the brethren.


I understand that. But those people deleting the post are representing SPN. Those people blacklisting panthic sites represent SPN. Those people when caught making false statements and then deleting replies also represent SPN. you seem to be a fair minded person. I wish you take a little active part to combat vested interests on this site. I wish your site good.

There are no blacklists and this is another example of your mindset. Tell me why attendance is falling off in gurdwaras that have been taken over by politically extreme operatives as yourself? What is spiritually uplifting in your message.



Please explain how a group of mortals in Freemont CA and parts of Canada finds the overweening pride to declare themselves the "panth"

In all religions there are sects and many sects don't agree with each other but it does not mean that they fight with each other.so both side's should stop trying to convince whether Dasam granth is written by Guru gobind singh ji or it is not written by Guru gobind singh ji.

That is not the case.When Anti dasam granth people are asked to furnish a reference from sikh history that disputes Dasam granth , they are not able to do that.

Apart from that they use foul language for dasam granth. Please keep in mind that sikhism has only one sect and there is no division yet. Akal takhat regulates religious issues of sikhs. Akal takhat recognises Dasam granth.The wise thing is that those who do not like that can form their own sect. We need not fight over this issue.
