Who Is The Present Guru Of The Sikhs?

[Gyani Jarnail Singh]

and to see that happen is truly beautiful, which of the current bodies within Sikhism do you think best portrays that?

The "PANJ" is the one and only body required or necessary as demonstrated in 1699. The various "bodies" that claim to be "SIKHISM" are all off the mark..and these include the SGPC...the Takhats...the Deras..the sampardayas...the taksaals...etc etc..ALL are SELF CENTERED..self glorifying..and exist only for SELF preservation.

 

[Sherdil]

No one has mentioned Miri and Piri?

Miri = Temporal Authority = Akal Takht (Khalsa Panth)

Piri = Spiritual Authority = Guru Granth Sahib

The two are intertwined, but separate at the same time. Sort of like ying and yang.

Temporal Authority pertains to matters of governance (maryada, politics, etc.)

Spiritual Authority pertains to crossing this "world ocean" as Gurbani puts it. GGS is your guide in this matter.

This is self-evident in the architecture of Harmandir sahib. The Golden Temple floats like a pure lotus flower in the sorovar. The Akal Takht juxtaposes it, connected to the rest of the world. Ying and Yang.
