Well, like I said you are being charitable and I apologise now if I offend.
GNNSJ, alongside AKJ, DDT, Rarionwalay and Namdhari's, would be on the bottom of my list of sects to join (if I was forced to join one). In fact I would go as far to say, if their beliefs became mainstream I would leave Sikhism.
This is based on first hand experience of them, and their members.
I simply do not like the idea of one person being in charge. It is dictatorial, and goes against the democratic principles of Sikhi. My mother in law said to me, at least their are no fights, and I said to her their used to be fist fights on the floor of the House of Commons, but there are not anymore......that is how democracy evolves. I prefer an imperfect democracy to a dictatorship.
Sikhi is about Guru Granth and Guru Paanth. Not Guru Granth and Guru Sant!
Sikhi is democracy, in a spiritual form. The minute we err from that we distort Sikhi.
See this is the sort of behaviour by them I detest!
So what if people are talking in corridors. Do they even understand the thinking behind a Gurudwara? Why was it justifiable for them to tell you off?
It is not only a place of worship, but a social institution, run by the people for the people, and if the people choose to have a chat in the corridor, it is no crime. They however are different because they are in effect run by a dictator, no different from Derawala's.
Another incident that annoyed me was the Architecture they destroyed at the Golden temple.
Brummies bodge Sikhs' holy shrine - World, News - The Independent
All so they could feed their bloated ego's and announce how they did sewa at the Golden Temple. What Indira Gandhi could not destroyed they managed to. They were dubbed as "Guru No Clue Destroy It Jatha" here in the UK.
Sorry about this, but Guru Nanak Niskam Sewak Jatha are Egotistical, Angry, Po Faced Autocrats. I have no time for them. I have been there several times at the behest of friends and each time I have observed disgraceful behaviour.
I understand you want unity, but the ONLY way we will get UNITY is if ALL Jathas accept the Sikh Rehat Maryada as it is written and agreed to. Not their own interpretation.
