Harinder Veer ji your presentation was mind blowing. Your philosophy needs to be taught to the like minded people to reach your 3000 figures ASAP so that we can be ready for that "DIPLOMAT" organisation. Time is ruining fast and we need to catch it by all means. Similar workshops need to be organised in Sikh colleges and universities and all major cities of Punjab.

GURU NANAK NEVER STARTED SIKH RELIGION

[@surindersingh-uq4vl]

Truth is a pathless land and you can never come to it through any religion, philosophy, ideology, tradition or any belief system. For that you only need to read the book of your daily life, behaviour or actions. Secondly, thinking in the form of knowledge has never changed people. It only makes you limited and fragmented. Whereas self awareness can make us whole human being. It makes us realise that we are the world. I fail to understand why you people are stuck in outward gurdwaras while Gurbani says the ਮਨ ਮੰਦਰ ਤਨ ਵੇਸ ਕਲੰਦਰ ਘਟ ਹੀ ਤੀਰਥ ਨਾਵਾਂ When yoy say that I am Hindu, Muslum, Christian German American etc, don't you separate yourself from rest of the world? It is only when we lose our deep connection with nature, then only mosques, templates etc become important

[@mandeepkaur-ix5iq]

As per Jain experience U r at 2nd stage of Awakening, at the next level u will realise the importance of these things again but with different meaning.

[@surindersingh-uq4vl]

@@mandeepkaur-ix5iq i don't identify myself with any of man made organised religion, . To do so will be to make the mind fragmented. Relationship is the only mirror through which one can assess his awakening level. But the question is Why don't humans realise the dangers of conditioning?, See truth can not be organised Lastly Guru sahib is referring the whole cosmos as His Darbar but u people are referring to Akal takhat. Therefore your perspective is very limited

[@naveensekhon4563]

Krishnamurti padheya te suneya tu bai mannleya. Krishnamurti was right but guru ji went manifold ahead of him. He was the ultimate pacifist. That can't work in a world filled with actions which lead to power grab in the hands of those who are ridden with vices. Inner sanatorium through self analysis and total observation is necessary but you can't leave everything at that when the outer world is going up in flames. You have to make that the foundation stone for righteous action ਧਰਮ ਯੁੱਧ and that's what baba nanak lead us on.

[@naveensekhon4563]

​@@surindersingh-uq4vl krishnamurti de dasse Sach nu Sach na manke baitheyo. You have to come to the fact through your own self analysis. Sikhi isn't an 'organized religion' like the image this word creates in your head. Sikhi is organized around the creed of the ultimate sovereigns, who arrive at sovereignty within and without through observation of their own mind and through might. Krishnamurti wouldn't have had the privilege of practicing total observation if not for the application of free society that he was provided with. The Gurus and most humans don't have that privilege. If free beings won't hold the reigns of political powers and bend it to their will, the ones who are jarred with mental taints will do so and they'll obliterate the notion of free minds and free men altogether. Sit and meditate on this.

[@surindersingh-uq4vl]

@@naveensekhon4563 When man loses his deep intimate relationship with nature only then mosque, temple, church and takhat become important. Go on with your ਧਰਮ ਯੁੱਧ Please.

[@yashsandhu8366]

It's ok if someone doesn't agree to a set of state policies & wants to get them changed. But consider the contradiction - in modern times, in West our Sikh people employ democratic means to get what they want Vs in India many eulogise radical fanatics like bhindranwala and his men who justified "use of violence for realising political demands " - accepted definition of terrorism globally now a days.

[@RamandeepKaur-bw8hi]

Dr sahib singh bhatti forharinder singh (usa) you're the first person whom I have heard is gurbani a reality not philosophy keep it up for maintaining superiority of akaltakhat if it is done it is ok otherwise sachkhand tatkal will be created by almighty somewhere which will be new world govt's parliament

[@GagandeepSingh-lz5bg]

Bhindranwala never told anyone to act violently. He talked about the discrimination by the state against punjab and Sikhs. He told sikhs they are not being true to their faith. This was a wake up call for lot of Sikhs. They started taking amrit. And you know when you take amrit you become Khalsa. Khalsa must bear arms all times. There is nothing fanatical about it. In other countries democratic ways are respected. But Indian state don’t care about any democratic values.

There is no Akal Takht Jathedar in Sikh philosophy. This is an anti Sikh office. It was created after period of militancy. Akal Takht is a concept and not a building or any priest.

[@jasnoorkaur4623]

A few problems with this. 1. What does Harinder Singh wants to get rid of in Akal Takht? Is it freeing up from certain politicians or is it from a way of thinking? Because if you want to get it freed from certain people and replace by other set of people then that would not solve anything. 2. I know one is going to say it is the thinking that he would want to get rid of. But where is any alternative thinking? Majority of the Sikhs both in Punjab and in west are egoistically fighting over small issues. Sikhs even tried calling Sarbat Khalsa in last 2 -3 years. In the end we had same thinking that prevailed as the one that is presently controlling Akal Takht. 3. I think Harinder Singh is making monumental mistakes without thinking it through. He may be creating a political space for himself, which may be fine as a activist/politician , but what he is not realizing is that In the end he is just a pawn to create unrest and he becomes easily replaceable in the end. Most interestingly he is a pawn not of a person or a group, he is a pawn of a particular thinking that wants some unrest in Sikhs in order to capture political power. Even in diaspora, we often hear stupid violent clashes that informs us in Punjab that there is hardly any alternative thinking. 4. I have read the suggestions on Free Akal Takht website. These suggestions are more on changing ways of doing things, which is like reagganging furniture in your house, but not thinking that do we need furniture to improve our knowledge ? Would this rearrangement help Sikhs anyway so that Sikhs become more enlightened or knowledgeable and mature in thinking to deal with their issues? I am not saying that Harinder Singh is a bad person or anything like that.what ever I know from the many you tube videos is that he is perhaps a concerned Sikh. But this video is a kind of similar rhetoric as we see in many other what’s app messages and You Tube videos. Talking too much without thinking. Typical activist, Asking people to become activists, to spend energy without thinking beyond a surface understanding of issues. I wish him luck in evolving with his own thinking first, before asking others to agitate. But for that he would first have to improve from an engineer to a scholar in sociology. And that is least minimum.

[@asingh215]

Good analysis

[@surrinderk4414]

Look who is talking too much and not suggesting any solutions to having a voice for a minority to take care of their religious and social affairs as a panth. Harinder Singh has very valid suggestions, you have none

[@SpinnerSingh]

It's clear you did not watch the whole video nor did you read the diaspora pulling brief on the website nor did you read The stance response comments document from the hard data on the website nor did you go through the research and thought process presentation on the website and lastly you failed to understand the nature of the organization that there are several drafters several members and Harinder Singh was only doing an outreach lecture here based on several peoples work that is on the website these are not his thoughts alone nor his work alone it's a whole team of Sikhs that did this work full time for a year intrinsically tied to the events of 2015. What you have done here is simply critique a hashtag title and critique the text on the update page on their website without understanding the context of what that update was for....context being it was a response to a very particular inquiry from a particular person who might have been in a position to upset the establishment i.e Kiranjot Kaur... you should really read things in their entirety before writing comments that show you have not done your due diligence and frankly are just put right uninformed.

[@asingh215]

I think there is a problem in replies to Jasnoor Kaur ji. These replies are not carefully reading a critical or rather a scholarly evaluation of this video. That is why these replies are personal in nature, criticizing Jasnoor ji for commenting without reading the details on website Free up Akal Takht or to ask her ‘Look who is talking?’ etc. I think such responses are emotional vents. Why are these questions being raised? To make her feel bad that why did she even comment? Remember critical evaluations are also involvements. Stubbornly refusing to listen to any critical evaluation is only exposing that this is not a platform that allows a difference of opinion. I think there is an internal contradiction here. We want to proclaim that we are voice of 30 million Sikhs and not even ready to take one critical feedback that goes against a pre-set disposition. Even if she might have not mentioned the details of documents on Freeup Akal Takht website in her comment, it could also be because she does not require to mention details in her comment. The wider questions that she raises go much beyond the nitty-gritties of details on website documents and do not require any kind of dissection that she is criticized for. I agree with Jasnoor Kaur bhenji. Her suggestions are very honest. I think if we elaborate her point a little further an inference that can be drawn is that if activists in diaspora are sincere about Sikh issues then there should be a Gurdwara Sudhar Lehar or (Gurdwara reform movement) in the West, before suggesting Freeup Akal Takht. We need to free up diasporic Gurdwaras from egoistic management committees that we often notice are violently clashing over trivial issues only trying to control management committees and financial resources. In other words, before freeing up Akal Takht, we need to free up the Gurdwaras in West and set a model for Punjab to follow. This to me is a very fair demand from all of us and we should not divert the issue. She is also intrinsically suggesting that Sikhs in Punjab and especially villages in Punjab do not connect emotionally with any of these theoretical models/bullet points/presentations/charters etc., on websites. To them these are only theoretical classroom discussions. Also, for most Sikhs a model already exists, which is already established by the Guru himself. All that is needed is to cleanse the thought processes through intellectual development that can foster the institution of Akal Takht and Sikhi overall. For that Sikhs need to read and write books. We need to question ourselves how many books have we read and authored something of international scholarly standards? In all fairness, Jasnoor Bhenji’s suggestions indicates that if we free up Akal Takht with greater diaspora involvement, how would that be different when the community (including diasporic community) itself is poor in its conviction, thought processes and mindsets? Even if we criticize her by asking her to clarify her personal involvement on this issue, we are only diverting the issue that she is raising in Sikh spirit. Harinder’s suggestions in this video are significant. But reading in between the lines, these suggestion only exposes religious/ moral corruption of Sikh leadership in Punjab. Are Sikh in diaspora morally and egoistically greatest in terms of Sikhi? We all know the answer and I am also questioning myself by raising that question. Jasnoor Bhenji’s suggestions certainly need a second and a third and fourth visit to internalize its essence beyond her words.
