Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tejwant Singh" data-source="post: 189439" data-attributes="member: 138">Spnadmin ji,Guru Fateh.Thanks for reviving the thread. It did need a jolt of resuscitation for the sake of  Sikhi  because in fact none of my questions were answered but circled around like a good Rodeo rider would do. All the so called answers were not actually answers to my questions but a desperate attempt to insert Hindutva and Vedic mumbo jumbo in Sikhi. One just needs a handful of mud to muddy the pristine waters.Arshi ji is right. To my surprise he did PM me which was unexpected as Sikhi is not discussed behind any veils but openly and I did tell him the discussion was becoming argumentative and all things should be discussed in an open forum so others can also pitch in.The interesting part of this revival is that a few months ago, a gentleman/kathavaachak came from Birmingham, England who belonged to "Guru Nanak Nishkam Sewak Jatha",GNNSJ for short, to the Gurdwara and talked about the Khands and other things exactly the same way as Arshi ji has done. It did seem from the exact  same playbook and under the same breath he kept on singing praises and continued talking about the greatness of his "faith leader":Bhai Sahib Dr. Mohinder Singh Ji while sitting in front of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji,  our only Guru and leader. It was a bit surprising to say the least.I went and talked to him after the diwan but just like Arshi ji, he was also a great rodeo rider.The beauty of Sikhi is that we all keep on learning from one generation to the other, from one scholar to the other. No one is perfect in Sikhi, hence the name. We, as students learn from other like minded students who many have said or claimed something in the past which may not have been true. This is the learning process we are fortunate to go through and hence are able to maneuver the hazards that life makes us confront in a  better manner.I hope with the time passed, Arshi ji has accumulated his perspective from different angles of Sikhi and is able to share with us about them now. Sikhi is all about learning,unlearning and relearning daily. He has not been able to respond to your questions either which is surprising because we can all benefit from his knowledge and wisdom.I went to the Internet and found the following which is a known cult whose "Faith Leader" is an attention seeker and sadly has taken himself with his hindutva mindset to represent Sikhi by meeting the high and mighty like the Popes of the Vatican etc. etc.This shows more about me-ism than anything to do with Sikhi in my opinion. What this self proclaimed "Faith Leader" represents is his own shiny side with his gold/gem crusted 3 ft Kirpan along with the other Sikhi regalia while taking the sheen out of what Sikhi really stands for. It is a shame indeed. These kinds of people should be banned as the self proclaimed representatives of Sikhi who participate in these events for no other reason but their own selfish ones. Sikhi regalia is their entrance ticket to them, nothing more.This is their website which talks about themselves:<a href="http://www.birminghamfaithmap.org.uk/place.php?placeID=25" target="_blank">http://www.birminghamfaithmap.org.uk/place.php?placeID=25</a>@ Arshi ji, I did write something about Yugs many years ago and in my opinion, the same thought can be transported to the Khands. What do you think? Please share your views. Thanks.<a href="http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/spiritual-articles/20402-satyug-the-bowl-of-cherries.html" target="_blank">http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/spiritual-articles/20402-satyug-the-bowl-of-cherries.html</a>Thanks and regards Spnadmin ji for reviving this important matter which is of utter importance to Sikhi so that the grain can be separated from the chaff in our Sikhi realm.Tejwant Singh</blockquote>
