| Tuesday May 26, 2009 Sikhs around the world are expressing dismay over the confusing and unfortunate events which took place in Vienna Austria and have spread to Jalandar India. Confusing because many components of the incident are completely contradictory to Sikhism and yet Sikhs are implicated. It%u2019s been suggested the outbreak of violence occurred in a Sikh temple, or Sikh gurdwara, in a clash between caste members, when there is no caste in Sikhism. The temple in question, by all accounts, belongs to the Siri Guru Ravi Daas Society, a faction thought possibly to have splintered from Sikhism sometime during the 14th century, which is loosely associated with Sikhism in that it focuses on the writings of Ravi Daas whose compositions are included in the Guru Granth Sahib. It%u2019s been reported that a Sikh guru died, when no embodied guru in Sikhism exists. The Guru of Sikhism is the scripture known as Guru Granth Sahib. The incident, which apparently occurred over a slur to the Guru Granth Sahib, is reported to have been an offensive attack, when Sikhism permits only defensive action on behalf of the weak or innocent. The perpetuators of the crime, while supposedly upholding the honor of Sikhism, acted in a completely reprehensible manner and un-Sikh-like fashion contradictory to the principals of Sikhism. Sikhism supports the right of all people to worship as per their understanding of the divine. Sikhism is about tolerance. In Sikhism there is no forced conversion. Sikhism is voluntary. It takes more than a beard and turban to make someone a Sikh. Respect for the Guru Granth Sahib and the principals of Sikhism cannot be expressed through murderous intent. One who resorts to slander may be called to account through a legal process. Protest may take the form of peaceful demonstration. There is no excuse for unjustifiable behavior. The so called Sikh miscreants should be held accountable not only to the peaceful people they subjected to violence, they should be made to answer to the Global Sikh community for their misdeeds |

Is this the way of protesting??destroying public property,harming innocent people,robbering etc. do all these are their parents property??? do they helps in building punjab up?? very shamefull for those people who are doing this. what they all get from doing this? i dont know why the govt. is not taking action against all the people who are protesting in this dirty way. i think all are uneducated people ,anti-sikh nd people who dont want peace in punjab.the incident happens in austria then why we people of punjab suffering with all this nonsense. media calls that person a sikh guru..!!! but a sikh never bow their head in front of some ordinary man, the only guru of sikhs is guru granth sahib ji present,future nd forever. people need much awarness about religions. the dera's are dividing sikhs nd dont know why sikhs leaving sikhism. dont know what they get from them. i think the dera's should be banned who are dividing all the peoples. this comment is not only the incident happens but also on the present punjab.nd we all needs to think on that ....... |
