Debunking the claims of Ajit Vadakayil about Sikhism – Part VI

Fifth part

Seventh part

W

e’ve come a long way in this series. It’s the sixth part now.

The last two parts were mainly focused on the life of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur and D. Petrie’s report. They needed to be discussed in more detail so that the eyes of the Sikhs could be opened that how a dilettante is writing anything without much sense and history, especially the life of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur, whose life is getting changed into the life of a Hindu than a Sikh by some Hindus. These days they don’t call him Baba Banda Singh Bahadur but Veer Bahadur or Veer Banda Bahadur, doing the sudhikaran.

The first lie of this part of the series is related to the martyrdom of Guru Teg Bahadur ji. According to AV, the words of the prophecy were sent among the Sikhs to avenge the guru’s martyrdom. He mentioned this to be before the 1857 revolution⁶⁸. If this ‘prophecy’ had driven the Sikhs into the battle with the others, then the sacrifices of the Sikhs at the time of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur wouldn’t have made any sense. If the Sikhs hadn’t avenged the wrongdoings of the Mughals then, after destroying almost all the Mughal things of that time, then I don’t know what avenge means. The first time this prophecy was talked about by the British/European was in the work of Macauliffe. So saying it’s before the revolution of 1857 will be wrong. Will check some other books to confirm this though. Until now, I have not found it in the work of other English/European authors before Macauliffe. Cunningham also writes about the European and English but not in the sense in which Macauliffe mentioned them. In Cunningham’s work, it’s written in the note of page 125, ‘In the Grunt’h of Gooroo Govind there are at least four allusions to Europeans, the last referring specially to an Englishman. 1^st, in the Akal Stoot, Europeans are enumerated among the tribes inhabiting India; 2d and 3d, in the Kulkee chapters of the 24 Owtars, apparently in praise of the systematic modes of Europeans; and 4th, in the Persians Hikayuts, where both a European and an Englishman appear as champions for the hand of a royal damsel, to be vanquished, of course, by the hero of the tale.’

AV used the image of Hodson to lie about the worshipping by the Sikhs⁶⁹. By seeing the image with a close scrutiny, it clears the doubt what AV is putting in the minds of the readers. The image has nothing to do with his worshipping but like a surrender of the people battling in 1857. Behind him you can see the men fighting and at the bottom it says the mutiny of 1857.

Much part of his theory about the avenge by Hodson to fulfil the ‘prophecy’, mainly the take off of the dress and swords of Bahadur Shah, is taken from Wikipedia’s article, which he usually calls not authentic. Now there’s a necessity to prove the devotion of Sikhs to some British man, he cherrypicked the verses like many BHs do. AV wrote that after killing the sons of Bahadur Shah, the prophecy was fulfilled⁷⁰.

How foolish AV thinks the Sikhs are? Is there no sense remaining in those few Sikhs who think this bullshit is for real? How the killing of sons of some emperor hundreds of years after the martyrdom of Guru Teg Bahadur ji would have called ‘avenging’? This is the foolishness of the highest order. Is it a set of Game of Thrones where Martyn and Willem Lannister are killed by Rickard Karstark to avenge his son? Damn man. Use some brains.

As far as the prophecy is concerned, let’s see that also what Macauliffe has written, which has nothing to do with the martyrdom of the guru. Guru Teg Bahadur ji is said to tell Aurangzeb, ‘I was looking in the direction of the Europeans who are coming from beyond the seas to tear down thy pardas and destroy thine empire.’ Somewhat same I found written in Twarikh Khalsa. While making the sense of what is written in these books, a question arises that why it’s written by both Macauliffe and Giani Gian Singh that the Mughals would be obliterated, when first at the time of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur and then during the Misl period the Khalsa ruled the place, and there’s not much of the Mughal rule remaining in Punjab and its surrounding areas.

But it should be noted that the major reason for the Sikhs to side with the British was not to fulfil the prophecy but to avenge the killing of the sons of Maharaja Ranjit Singh and the deceits and backstabbing of the Dogras, who sided with the British to shake the Khalsa Raj and was able to do so with the cleverness; and to hide that, AV mentioned it’s because of the Rothschild⁷¹ not the Hindus who let that happen. I am pretty sure in some distant future, AV would claim that he’s the son of Rothschild.

It’s not related to Sikhism, but I am taking the liberty to say that the sons of Bahadur Shah Zafar were shot dead by Hodson, not beheaded⁷¹ and were not given the heads on platter to Bahadur Shah Zafar⁷². Also, the head of the guru was not put for display at Chandni Chowk or anywhere⁷³. There’re two stories that I read: first one is that the head of the guru fell in the lap of a Sikh, second is a Sikh ran quickly and took away the head and showed to Guru Gobind Singh ji in Anandpur Sahib.

From 1469 to 1708, the gurus were in the form of body. After the Joti Jot of Guru Gobind Singh ji, the guru of the Sikhs became Guru Granth Sahib ji. Since then the Sikhs have been following Guru Granth Sahib ji. It’s not just a book with divine messages or songs but the living guru for the Sikhs. Sikhs have the same respect for the granth that they’d for the earlier gurus. But with the passage of time and some writings of the FICOS, the message of calling Guru Granth Sahib just a holy book and a very good source of moral values is spread by many people. Guru Granth Sahib ji is the living guru and the 11^th guru of the Sikhs⁷⁴. It’s not some conspiracy to cut down the chance of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur⁷⁵. Actually, when Guru Gobind Singh ji sent Baba Banda Singh Bahadur and the Sikhs to Punjab, he specifically mentioned him not to call himself a guru or start your own religion, and follow the Khalsa.

ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਕੀ ਪ੍ਰਭੁਤਾ ਪਿਖੀ ਬਿਸਾਲਾ । ਪਰ੍ਯੋ ਚਰਨ ਪਰ ਧਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਭਾਲਾ ।
'ਅਪਨੋ ਮਤਿ ਚਲਾਇਹੌਂ ਜਬੈ । ਪੰਥ ਆਪ ਕੋ ਬਿਗਰੈ ਤਬੈ' ॥੨੯॥ – ਸੂਰਜ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਸ਼, ਦੂਸਰਾ ਐਨ, ਅਧਿਆਇ ਛੇਵਾਂ

Namdharis had their own rules and rituals which are not followed by the Sikhs. They believed that the guruship was given to someone else but not Guru Granth Sahib ji. If AV is talking about the Namdharis then AV’s illogical statement of calling Banda Singh Bahadur the 11^th guru of Sikhs becomes a joke. A website talks about the points which are raised by Namdharis and then answered them accordingly. Going into much details about the Namdharis at this stage is not the topic of discussion, hence leaving that, but thought of clearing this up because a ‘Sikh’ also told me to look at the Namdharis and how they praise the deities and all other rules that they have. Following something which’s against gurmat is not what I want to do with my life. So I don’t care what the Namdharis believe in. You can check the website’s link provided above to get into more details about their logic and theories to claim the throne of the Sikh Gurus.

Gurbani was the guru before Guru Gobind Singh ji declared. After the compilation of Guru Granth Sahib ji, Guru Arjan Dev ji used to sleep on the floor and the granth would be on the bed. This was the reverence paid by the guru himself, which some FICOS claiming just fake ritualism because the guru talked about the discourse of the verses than the rituals that the Sikhs have adopted.

Going with the body and horse was not something created by the Rothschild⁷⁶. Actually, to avoid the embarrassment and the non-availability of the source to point to, AV uses the word ‘Rothschild’ mostly. It’s very easy to do and doesn’t require much of a brain, and the brainless followers believe that. Like many fake preachers in Sikhism start calling the miracles in the Sikh history bogus stories to entertain the sangat. The reason behind that is they can’t explain that to the sangat. So they adopted the easy way out. Same is true for AV.

It is not only in the life of Guru Gobind Singh ji. If you read the life of Guru Nanak Dev ji, the same thing happened. When the people picked the linen, below that only flowers were there. I heard there’s no remaining of the Sikh Gurus after the last rites. Wasn’t required to bring Rothschild in this matter.

I think the agenda behind this sham article by an eight-year-old boy is to tell that it’s not only the Hinduism, other religions are also there which were changed by the Rothschild. If he says only the holy books of Hindus were affected, it creates a doubt in mind. So to resurrect the Hindu religion, he’d to bring all the incidents around the world to change and reinvent the religion that he follows, without which it’ll not be possible to talk about Hinduism and Hinduism alone.

Guru Nanak Dev ji’s visit to Mecca is very popular. The miracle that happened there is not believed by many Muslims because they believe that the centre place of their worship can’t be changed by anyone. This holds true to many people from different religions about their holy places, and they believe it to be unbelievable when someone speaks like this. Guru Nanak Dev ji didn’t tell the Muslim to turn his legs in any direction⁷⁷, there’s a talk with him, and then a debate with other Muslims. It’s not a story that the British had created or propagated. Contrary to that, AV’s blog is filled with the stories of the miracles in the holy books of Hinduism. Let me quote from one post only.

1.      ‘The moment Krishna took the child in his arms, the additional limbs and eye disappeared.’

2.      ‘Krishna wielded his chakra and directed it at Shishupal.  It went revolving to Shishupal and severed his neck from the rest of his body.  Then it returned to Krishna's hand.’

3.      ‘Everybody present was frightened even to look at Krishna who had assumed his divine colossal form (Virat Roop).’

You can find many on the whole blog. My point is, in many religions there’re many inexplicable incidents happened in history which do not make sense to the unenlightened people. So saying that that they were all lies and conjured up by the British will be a fool’s errand. You want to deny the miracles performed by Baba Ram Rai, but conveying a chakra was twirling on Krishna’s finger …?! Makes sense. (sarcasm)

Macauliffe didn’t write all the miracles⁷⁸ which are there in the Sikh history. In his own words, ‘Notwithstanding exaggerations, such as occur in all religions which deal with avatars or incarnations, the Janamsakhi now under consideration is beyond dispute the most trustworthy detailed record we possess of the life of Guru Nanak. It contains much less mythological matter than any other Gurumukhi life of the Guru, and is a much more rational, consistent, and satisfactory narrative.’ When it comes to the story of Mecca, he wrote, ‘Upon this the priest seized the Guru’s feet and dragged them in the opposite direction, whereupon, it is said, the temple turned round, and followed the revolution of his body. Some understand this in a spiritual sense, and say it means that Guru Nanak made all Makka turn to his teaching. Those who witnessed this miracle were astonished and saluted the Guru as a supernatural being.’

I do not see the ‘topiwala’ ‘white’ Sikh supporting the miracle⁷⁹ but writing in a different way like Dhadrianwala preaches these days that it’s the spiritual understanding of the people there, not actually changing the direction of Kaba; also, he wrote ‘it is said’ which doesn’t sound like supporting the miracle. Like I said, it’s the 21^st century, people just can’t understand the miracles, so deny them or change the way of their happening (seems like in earlier century too some people didn’t believe in miracles for so and so reasons.) So at least read the books of these people that you’re quoting than writing anything baseless. BTW, I do not agree with everything that Macauliffe has written.

Also, related to the miracles performed by Baba Ram Rai, Malcolm wrote, ‘Their writers have endeavoured to supply this chasm in their history by a fabulous account of the numerous miracles which were wrought by their priests, Ram Ray, Har Crishn, and even the unfortunate Tegh Behadur, at Dehli, all of whom are said to have astonished the emperor and his nobles, by a display of their supernatural powers : but their wide difference from each other, in these relations, would prove, if any proof was wanting, that all the annals of that period are fabricated.’ So, yeah, stating the authors proved all the miracles in Sikhism shows the lies told by AV.

Baba Banda Singh Bahadur’s life we’d discussed in the last article. One point that I missed is that there’s no decision made by Guru Gobind Singh ji that only the veg food would be served in the langar because of Banda⁸⁰. If we take into consideration the story told by AV that the guru knew Baba Banda Singh Bahadur and they’re meeting the second time at Nanded Sahib, then the Singhs would never had done the jhatka at his place; the guru would have told them not to do that. Before the tenth guru, and at his time and after his time, only veg food was served in the langar. It’d nothing to do with Baba Banda Singh Bahadur. Although some meet-lover Sikhs use the anti-gurmat stories from the historical granths that the meat was served in the langar.

There’s no denying in eating meat in Sikhism. But it’s not for taste. When the Sikhs were fighting and didn’t have anything to eat, then they used to eat non-veg to live and fight and die for the panth and righteousness.

This story of Hindus giving their first son to the Sikh Gurus is very common. I am still trying to find the source of it, when it’s come into picture, and where it’s originated from. And it didn’t make sense though. Hindus didn’t make their own group but sent their firstborns to the guru to fight against the oppressors?!

Fear of the British was not the Hindus giving their first child to the guru⁸¹, nor it was the valour of the Hindus which made the Sikhs the bravest people in the world⁸². Sikhism or Khalsa Panth was not created to fight against the Islamic invaders but to fight against the injustice⁸³ and also be a saint at the same time. Sikhs who AV is calling ‘rustic’⁸⁴ saved thousands of their women taken by the different ruling houses of that time. Inglorious bastard, it’s the people like you who cause the Sikhs to loathe the Hindus and their interpretation of gurbani and fake history. Mughals and the likes of AV are same: they do not remember because of whom they’re ruling the place.

AV discussed about the authors who wrote books on Sikhism. Why these names appear during discussions with BHs can be checked here, in the clichéd argument 10. Gulab Singh Raja was no Lakshman⁸⁵, but either Sumbh or Nisumbh, you can choose any one which you like. If the BHs and the likes of AV call the Sikhs who follow Sikhi as Khalistanis or separatists, then it will not be wrong to call Gulab Singh a Hindu traitor. One more thing that I would like to highlight here is that AV will never call the Hindus wrong. Never. If there’re some Hindus that he detests, he would call them Jews or Rothschild agents, but never call them wrong … and Hindus … at the same time.

The efforts of Malcolm to write the history of Sikhs was just to give a brief view about the warlike nature of the Sikhs. This was before the annexation of Punjab and fall of the Sikh Nation. His work mainly focused on the lives of Guru Gobind Singh ji and Baba Banda Singh Bahadur and later times, to tell a story how and from where the spirit of Sikhs originated. The British was trying to win all the battles across the different kingdoms of that period, the information to fight with the Sikhs was necessary for them. It would give them a clear idea about the source of power of Sikhs. His work didn’t set the foundation for Sikhs to support the British though⁸⁶. Read the book before writing.

Dr Ernest Trumpp is a very lovable scholar for the anti-Sikh people. These people don’t quote him during their litter picking, it’s not possible. They always do. He did translate Guru Granth Sahib ji in English and it angered the Sikhs because of his inability to grasp what’s been written in there, even when he knew different languages. He’s not chosen to inject poison in the Sikh scripture though⁸⁷. Neither his work was to remove the references to the Vedas⁸⁸.

He didn’t have any report to have Rothschild’s focus on it⁸⁹. If he had it, where is it? Why didn’t AV show that to the readers? Like he said he looked for the Hukamnama of Mata Sundri ji, he must have done the same for this report on the basis of what he’s writing it, no?

Here are some praises of Dr Trumpp from my darling author Dr Tirlochan Singh.

‘From Dr Ernest Trumpp, a fanatic Christian missionary of the nineteenth-century to Dr William Hewat McLeod, a leading light of Batala-Berkley Christian Missionary group of the twentieth-century critics of Sikhism, and from Swami Dayanand leader of Anti-Sikh Arya-Samaj Hindu-cult to a host of turbanned and bearded communists, atheists, agnostics, opportunists, bearing the name "Singh" there have been a number of spiritually blind, intellectually corrupt, highly conceited writers and scholars who have described Sikhs and Sikhism in a manner, no ordinary person with even a rudimentary intellectual honesty and historical insight can ever comprehend or describe.’

And I will happily put the names of AV and BHs in the above praises.

Ernest Trumpp’s task was not to make a distinction between the Vedas and the Sikh scripture⁹⁰. He was chosen by Robert Needham Cust as a scholar who could translate Guru Granth Sahib into English.

In his translation, Trumpp replaced Ik Oan(g)kaar with OM without explaining its meaning at all. Not only this, he mistranslated many verses and put the notes below which are totally against the Sikh religion. Ik Oan(g)kaar and OM do not look same⁹¹. Some deceitful BHs say Ik Oan(g)kaar is Omkaar or Omkaara, totally changing the pronunciation. They would tell how the mantras in the Vedas should be enunciated with so much care and symmetry. For the Sikh scriptures, they do not care much about the pronunciation. I talked to a person who said the verses of gurbani were written in a way to just rhyme them at the end, nothing more important is in there; but for their scriptures, they talk about the different dictionaries which can be read to understand the Sanskrit language. This is how they fool the young Sikhs.

Macauliffe didn’t delete anything from the scripture⁹². Or added⁹³. His work about the distinction of the Sikh religion is a tight slap on the ugly face of this illogical, ballless scum, who calls himself a writer who writes about history. Let me put the verses of Macauliffe’s work here so that I could see these unintellectual beings’ blood boiling by hearing the truth and seeing how their propaganda is going down into the pit that they’d dug for themselves.

‘A movement to declare the Sikhs Hindus, in direct opposition to the teaching of the Gurus, is widespread and of long duration. I have only quite recently met in Lahore young men claiming to be descendants of the Gurus, who told me that they were Hindus, and that they could not read the characters in which the sacred books of the Sikhs were written. Whether the object of their tutors and advisers was or was not to make them disloyal, such youths are ignorant of the Sikh religion.’

All the Sikhs around the world should know the truth behind the shallow article of AV about Sikhs. Not only this but all the articles, books, videos, or anything for that matter, written down by SSs, BHs, FICOS or any group that doesn’t have any idea about the Sikh religion, history and meaning of gurbani. If you have knowledge, you laugh at these jokers turned historians and translators. So one simple request. Read historical granths and listen to katha.

Tat Khalsa had nothing to with the separation of Sikhs and Hindus⁹⁴. I am going to write it again, doesn’t matter how many times it comes. No Sikh guru was a Hindu⁹⁵. Sikhism existed before Panj Pyare were created⁹⁶.

Macauliffe didn’t do anything to call the granth as guru⁹⁷. AV mentioned the name of Malcolm; he didn’t even read his work. I can bet anything on that because in his work he clearly mentioned the Sikhs bowing to the granths at Amritsar. Check page 120 of his book, ‘When the chiefs and principal leaders are seated, the Adi-Grant'h and Dasama Padshah ka Grant'h are placed before them. They all bend their heads before these scriptures, and exclaim, Wa ! Guruji ka Khalsa ! Wa ! Guruji ki Fateh !’ Not only this there’re many books available which talk about Guru Gobind Singh ji giving gurtagaddi to Guru Granth Sahib ji. Let’s say I’ve smoked a pot and believing everything that AV penned down, then what Macauliffe’s writing about the holy book to be the guru of Sikhs had to do with the chances, which were ‘cut’, of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur to be the next guru? So Baba Banda Singh Bahadur and Macauliffe were in the same era? SMH.

Tat Khalsa, or the real Sikhs, I would say, are the people who were there in the Singh Sabha Movements, before Macauliffe started his work. How the Tat Khalsa believed that their fight was with the Muslism⁹⁸? After the Muslims, Hindus would come⁹⁹? Kuch bhi?

If the belief of Sikhs not Hindus was incumbent on Macauliffe, how the books before he started writing came into picture¹⁰⁰? In the work of Giani Gian Singh, Bhai Santokh Singh, Sainapati, Koer Singh, etc., it’s clearly mentioned that Sikhs are not Hindus. Not only these people who put much efforts writing history, in gurbani and Bhai Gurdas ji’s vaara too it’s evident that the Sikhs are not Hindus. All these shaka people are so brainless that their endpoint will always be declaring Sikhs as Hindus. All the nonsensical talks and logic and opinions and references and faking and almost all the methods in their disposal eventually conclude the Sikhs as Hindus. SSs failed to grasp that too.

Guru Granth Sahib ji is the only holy text which was uttered by those who started the religion – the Sikh Gurus. Nothing has been changed after the tenth guru. Removing the references of the Vedas is very ridiculous¹⁰¹. I can write few verses here to prove AV wrong.

ਸਪਤ ਦੀਪ ਸਪਤ ਸਾਗਰਾ ਨਵ ਖੰਡ ਚਾਰਿ ਵੇਦ ਦਸ ਅਸਟ ਪੁਰਾਣਾ ॥ - ਅੰਗ ੮੪
ਵੇਦੁ ਪੜਹਿ ਹਰਿ ਰਸੁ ਨਹੀ ਆਇਆ ॥ ਵਾਦੁ ਵਖਾਣਹਿ ਮੋਹੇ ਮਾਇਆ ॥ - ਅੰਗ ੧੨੮
ਬ੍ਰਹਮਾ ਮੂਲੁ ਵੇਦ ਅਭਿਆਸਾ ॥ ਤਿਸ ਤੇ ਉਪਜੇ ਦੇਵ ਮੋਹ ਪਿਆਸਾ ॥ - ਅੰਗ ੨੩੦
ਬ੍ਰਹਮਾ ਵੇਦੁ ਪੜੈ ਵਾਦੁ ਵਖਾਣੈ ॥ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਤਾਮਸੁ ਆਪੁ ਨ ਪਛਾਣੈ ॥ - ਅੰਗ ੨੩੧

The work of Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha is very laudable. His books Mahan Kosh, Gurmat Sudhakar, Gurushand Diavakar, and Gurmat Martand should be available in the libraries of all the Sikhs. And the very informative and argumentative book of all times, which breaks the very backbone of the BHs and SSs, which is still giving nightmares to them, which is shunned by both BHs and SSs, for which all the arguments and stories were invented and spread on the Internet is Hum Hindu Nahi. This book has all the lame arguments of BHs and SSs and their realities. Find one BH or SS who agrees with this book. Only one. They will wet their pants but will not agree to this book even when it shows the shallowness of the arguments of BHs and SSs. For this reason, AV said this book was vetted by Macauliffe¹⁰² because they do not have the counter arguments for that.

Macauliffe didn’t write exactly the comment of boa constrictor like it’s available on AVB¹⁰³. Here is the correct one, ‘but Hinduism surpasses all the religions that have ever been invented in a social exclusiveness which professes to be based on divine sanction. Truly wonderful are the strength and vitality of Hinduism. It is like the boa constrictor of the Indian forests. When a petty enemy appears to worry it, it winds round its opponent, crushes it in its folds, and finally causes it to disappear in its capacious interior.’ Not only him, even Dr Sangat Singh said, ‘What is the future of the Sikhs in India? Will Sikhism be able to survive as a vibrant faith? Or, will it be overwhelmed by Hinduism, the boa constrictor of all the faiths born in India?’

I do not agree with them. The BHs are the boa constrictor, not Hinduism or the Hindus.

There’s no prophecy which said the Sikhs would be loyal to British¹⁰⁴. No toopiwala Sikh avenged the guru¹⁰⁵. The battles of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur avenged the guru and the sons of Guru Gobind Singh ji. Somehow if the prophecy to be discussed, you can see it’d nothing to do with the martyrdom of the guru or the loyalty of the Sikhs to British.

A picture posted saying the 700 followers of Guru Teg Bahadur ji were martyred depicts, at least this is what I got, their presence at the time of the martyrdom of the guru. 700 followers … it didn’t happen¹⁰⁶. At the time of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur it happened, not during the martyrdom of Guru Teg Bahadur ji. It can be before or after, Sikhism was there both the times¹⁰⁷. A lie mentioned multiple times doesn’t make it truth to intelligent people. The man with a brain could easily understand.

Harmandir Sahib is the most visited gurudwara sahib among non-Sikhs, I believe. It’s not some Vishnu Temple¹⁰⁸. The Litter Committee of BHs and SSs tell that Har in Harmandir means Vishnu, so it’s a Vishnu Temple which’s built by the Sikh Guru. There’re many articles on our blog where the meaning of Har is discussed.

Gurbani is not mistranslated by the Sikhs¹⁰⁹. It’s the onus of the BHs and SSs to show the reverence for the deities, for which they mistranslate the verses of gurbani to prove their point. I think Sikhs should start reading the scriptures of Hindus too to know what’s there. But the Sikhs do not even read their granths, going to other religion’s scriptures will be hard for many of them. If it’s possible to read other’s, you will be shocked to see what’s been written in those books.

The Sikh Gurus were not Hindus¹¹⁰, and I agree that there should not be any bashing of not only Hindus but of any religious person. Many people call us, Sikhs and Sikhi, the separatists, or that we are creating a line between Hindus and Sikhs. We do not. Our task is to tell the truth. Living with the lies and when the truth has been spoken it’s called the hatred is not right. We try to limit ourselves to not cross the line and start hating the other religious person. It’s the ocean, youngsters. Once you put your feet in the ocean of hatred, you start enjoying it and then you do not stop. You go deep into that ocean to live your life and enjoy there forever. Need an example? AV is the epitome of that.

The work of Macauliffe was not sent to Rothschild¹¹¹, but to some Sikhs to have their input about it. It’s a historical work, not just writing anything and using ‘Rothschild’ wherever’s needed. For that, much of the book should be accurate, if not the whole book; I saw some errors in his work too though. It’s not only in the case of Macauliffe. Many Sikh writers also sent the earlier copies of their books to some people to have the preface written by them, or the praises of the books and the efforts put in by the writers. Even a high school student knows this.

British’s conclusion was not always towards the Sikhs (or Tat Khalsa, like AV puts in)¹¹². D Petrie’s report perfectly says so that how there are the forces of Tat Khalsa that could take away the rule of the British. I’ve written that in the fourth part of this series also.

‘Again the Tat Khalsa must be judged largely by the direction taken by the activities of its leaders, and the general nature of these activities has been far from reassuring. If the whole of the adherents of the Tat Khalsa are not political minded, there are assuredly many members of it who imbued with nationalistic ideals. These enthusiasts aim not merely at forming a homogenous Sikh community which will be able to defend itself against other rival bodies but preach the revival of a Sikh Nation which will wrest the sceptre from the hands of the British and again establish its rule in the Punjab.’

Better read the whole of the books rather than just reading what AV or the same-minded people have written on their websites/blogs.

Macauliffe didn’t have a say in the dohra that the Sikhs read every day¹¹³. This dohra (aagya bhayi Akaal ki) is present before the work of Macauliffe – check Giani Gian Singh’s Panth Parkash and Rehatnama of Bhai Prahlaad Singh. Many people know the verses in Panth Parkash, so I am writing only about Bhai Prahlaand Singh’s Rehatnama, where the similar verses are present.

ਦੋਹਰਾ

ਜੋ ਸਿਖ ਮੋ ਮਿਲਬੇ ਚਹਿਹ ਖੋਜ ਇਨਹੁ ਮਹਿ ਲੇਹੁ ।੨੪।

The verses of raaj karega Khalsa could be read in the Tankhahnama of Bhai Nanad Lal.

ਦੋਹਰਾ
ਰਾਜ ਕਰੇਗਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ, ਆਕੀ ਰਹਹਿ ਨ ਕੋਇ ।
ਖ੍ਵਾਰ ਹੋਇ ਸਭ ਮਿਲੈਂਗੇ, ਬਚਹਿ ਸ਼ਰਨ ਜੋ ਹੋਇ ।੩੬।

So, AV, you ignorant scum, you’re plainly wrong here. Also, the first two verses (Dehli takhat pe bahegi) were banned by the British, lest the Sikhs would have the ideas to overthrow the ruling force. This idea of encouragement by the books and the beliefs of Sikhs was not just during the rule of the British, these days also the chanting of the verses can change the circumstances. For that reason only, the Supreme Court of India had a say if it’s seditious or not.

Macauliffe’s books still daunt the masses of BHs and SSs.

You can see how the Sikh rehat and distinction has been changed in AV’s article by just using the word Macauliffe and Rothschild. The Google-search experts only got these few writers who authored the books on Sikhism. There are many there who these lunatics do not know. Once some websites start talking about them, these people living in caves will change the narratives too. If the British and Khalistanis and Tat Khalsa didn’t suit them, they will create something new to have the less effect of those writings on the Sikhs and change them into SSs.

Macauliffe didn’t solidify the idea of bowing only to the granth¹¹⁴. Before that it’s been written down. Like I said, read the book of Malcolm where he mentioned Sikhs bowing to the granths. If due to the psychological disorder you do not want to read the books of some foreigners about the Sikhism, then check the other books written down before Malcolm, by the Sikhs.

Singh Sabha Movements had a big role to talk about the real Sikhi and leave the diluted minded people behind in the caves where they’d been living before the Sikhism started. Much of the research started from that point of time, and then cleaning the gurudwaras one by one which’re under the control of Mahants, who were doing the ill-practices and following the Brahmanical rituals shunned by the gurus. This is the major point that the BHs and SSs use to tell how this revolution had a role to create two faiths from one. But the truth is when the Khalsa was in the jungles, fighting and surviving away from the cities, many cockroaches crawled into the holy places of Sikhs. They also brought their practices to eradicate the Pureness of the Sikhism. Once they’d spread the grim in the Sikhism, then started the cleaning process where the war was not only related to the words and books; the Sikhs died in the process to liberate their holy places. And the British tried their best to control everything and did every single possible thing to not give the control of the gurudwaras to the Sikhs. Eventually with so much efforts of the Sikhs, they had the maryada re-established.

These movements created an impact on the BHs who were converting the Sikhs into their tradition. For this reason, they wrote books and protested openly to disgust the Sikh Faith. Out of their writings and reasoning and non-existing intellectual understanding of Sikhism, the SSs were born. Also, Sikhs started changing into SSs once the mainstream Sikhs with the knowledge went into the jungles, or where the population of the Sikhs was very less and they were surrounded by the BHs. Behind that only the barbarian rulers and BHs were left to either guide them or kill them; the BHs were successful to change the minds of some Sikhs. The writing of those Sikhs who’d the effect of BHs on them could be seen in the works of Koer Singh and Kesar Singh Chibber. Their whole writings couldn’t be neglected, but the smears of the Brahmanical thoughts are visible on their works.

Macauliffe, who was bewitched by the beauty of the Sikhi, didn’t start the Tat Khalsa or revived it¹¹⁵. The Singh Sabha Movements had removed the Brahmanical thoughts which encroached into the House of Sikhi. If Macauliffe had liked the idea of the Brahmanical rituals present at that time in Sikhi, he would never have written against it so repugnantly. It’s the pure Sikhi that touched him and then he started writing about the Sikhs. Why would he start or revive something that would totally going to destroy the Brahmanical thinking that he would have liked so much in the early days?

Another loophole of this article is if Macauliffe or the British had a say in creating or reviving the Tat Khalsa, then it doesn’t make sense at all because AV put the reports of the Punjab Administration where it’s talking about the decline of the followers of Sikhism. So the British had to ‘act fast’ and they were cutting all the links of other people who in some Brahmanical way were following the religion? If the ‘fear’ of the British was that the ‘warrior class’ of Sikhs is because of the Hindus, then why the British would cut all the Brahmanical factors which were making the Sikh Army great, that they used in World Wars?! Also, the revive of the Tat Khalsa by ‘British’ happened after 1870s according to AV, then why they didn’t cut all the connections of the Sikhs to Hindus before 1857 mutiny when the Sikhs squashed the rising forces, which was because of the braveness of the Sikhs because of the Hindus giving the first son (sarcasm), because of the agitation by losing the mighty Sikh Empire? Doesn’t make any sense at all. Why the people do not think in this way while reading these sham articles? Do they even have brains or not?

Macauliffe shows how the Sikhism was different than other religions and its scriptures were written at the time of the guru period, which’s absent in other religions. Here is the complete paragraph.

The Sikh religion differs as regards the authenticity of that its dogmas from most other great theological systems. Many of the great teachers the world has known have not left a line of their own composition, and we only know what they taught through tradition or second-hand information. If Pythagoras wrote any of his tenets, his writings have not descended to us. We know the teaching of Sokrates only through the writings of Plato and Xenophon. Budha has left no written memorials of his teaching, Rung fu-tze, known to Europeans as Confucius, left no documents in which he detailed the principles of his moral and social system. The Founder of Christianity did not reduce his doctrines to writing, and for them we are obliged to trust to the Gospels according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The Arabian Prophet did not himself reduce to writing the chapters of the Quran. They were written or compiled by his adherents and followers. But the compositions of the Sikh Gurus are preserved, and we know at first hand what they taught. They employed the vehicle of verse, which is generally unalterable by copyists, and we even become in time familiar with their different styles. No spurious compositions or extraneous dogmas can, therefore, be represented as theirs.

Some part of this paragraph was written by AV but he failed to put forward its limitation that how it’s wrong. On his blog too, you can check him talking about some millenniums ago the Vedas were penned down, before that they were orally taught. The same is true for Quran. And the story of the Bible is known to many. It is actually the truth and makes Guru Granth Sahib ji the only authentic work of all those mentioned above which was compiled during the period of the Sikh Gurus.

Guru Granth Sahib ji had 1430 angs, not 1431¹¹⁶. He mentioned this bir to be present in Harmandir Sahib¹¹⁷. Father of the Lamers. Actually, he just checked the total number of angs which are written on the top of the pdf file, which’s 1431. But if you go to the end, you will clearly see 1430 written at the top. So the angs where the bani is written are 1430, if we add the ones where the shabads and the ang numbers are written (index), it will be more than that. For both Ernest Trumpp and Macauliffe, AV wrote they knew 17 languages¹¹⁸. Although he used the word ‘may’ for Macauliffe.

No, 1431, which is 1430, angs of Guru Granth Sahib ji is not full of Hinduism¹¹⁹. There is no denying the references of the kings of old times and the pointing to the Vedas in few instances, like when Naam is discussed; we read that in Anand Sahib in the morning.

Guru Granth Sahib ji is the expansion of Jap Ji Sahib. AV quoted many verses from the English translation of Guru Granth Sahib ji by Sant Singh Khalsa, which I do not endorse much. AV bolded the words like Vedas, Shiva, Brahma to talk about the deities and how it’s written about Hinduism.😐 The translation of Jap Ji Sahib by Macauliffe talks about the deities and Vedas too. If he’d the onus to obliterate all the references of the Hindu texts from Guru Granth Sahib ji, why would he himself translate it and didn’t change it?

Now let me have more lies here which AV implied in his article by bolding the words.

Guru’s word is the wisdom (ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਵੇਦੰ)¹²⁰. You can’t believe, some BHs are there who translate this verse as the guru’s saying to Sikhs Gurmukhs are those who read Vedas. Come on, guys, don’t be lamers. There’re many things written down in the Vedas and other holy scriptures of Hindus. We never said they’re bad or something. But you should at least think twice before you go to the anti-Sikh websites and organizations where the cow dung is filled in your heads to hate the Sikhs.

For the Sikhs, the guru is everything for them; Shiva, Brahma, Vishnu and their wives are not important for us (ਗੁਰੁ ਈਸਰੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਗੋਰਖੁ ਬਰਮਾ ਗੁਰੁ ਪਾਰਬਤੀ ਮਾਈ ॥)¹²¹. For us, the guru plays the role of all of them. We don’t seek the blessings of the demigods. This verse is mistranslated by many BHs that the guru is saying Shiva, Brahma, Vishnu and their wives are his guru – they are worshipped in these verses. If the context is not clear, then you have the free hand to translate it any way. At the end of the this pauri, Guru Sahib clears that he’s talking about only One. ਸਭਨਾ ਜੀਆ ਕਾ ਇਕੁ ਦਾਤਾ ਸੋ ਮੈ ਵਿਸਰਿ ਨ ਜਾਈ ॥੫॥ We wrote an article too on this verse. You can check that out.

In eight pauri Guru Nanak Dev ji talks about the importance of listening to Naam. By listening to Naam so many humans and gods achieved many things. Without that, it would not have been possible. The ninth pauri talks about the same – Listening to Naam. This one’s quoted by our eight-year old. By listening to the Naam, the three deities got their powers.¹²² (ਸੁਣਿਐ ਈਸਰੁ ਬਰਮਾ ਇੰਦੁ ॥) See, even the demigods that Hindus worship listen to the Naam, sing the praises of Waheguru, there is an authority bigger than them; but they are just spreading the fake stories and cherry-picking the verses from the historical or the holy scriptures of Sikhs that the gurus worshipped these demigods.

Even AV doesn’t want to lag behind in this utter nonsense to label the Sikh Gurus as the worshipper of these demigods whose existence is under time. As we are talking about the pauria of Listening to the Naam, I will put one verse here to show you all how the gurbani is getting manipulated in the hands of Punjabi BHs, and the same is indirectly suggested by this child.

Guru Sahib says that by listening to the Naam, the Shastras, Simrities, and Vedas can be understood, meaning the Naam is bigger than that and by listening to the Naam the person can know whatever is written in there without even reading them because in Naam comes everything.¹²³. ਸੁਣਿਐ ਸਾਸਤ ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਵੇਦ ॥ But the anti-Sikh forces say the guru is saying to listen to the Vedas and Shashtras. By going with the same way of misinterpreting the verses, we can conclude that these verses ਸੁਣਿਐ ਸੇਖ ਪੀਰ ਪਾਤਿਸਾਹ ॥ say we should listen to the rulers. Isn’t it laughable to hear all these stories by the misguided masses about the Sikh religion?

As the discussion with the Sidhs goes on, Guru Nanak Dev ji said that there’s no bull under the earth who’s having it over his head or horns. It’s the righteousness which’s making the whole world liveable, without which the human race can’t even exist. Think of it in this way, if the righteousness is gone from the world then only the killing ground will be existing and everyone will kill everyone leaving only desolation behind. And, suppose, if there’s a bull under the earth, then on what that bull is standing? The Sidhs said there’d be another earth. By saying this there would be a long pile of bulls and earths (ਧਰਤੀ ਹੋਰੁ ਪਰੈ ਹੋਰੁ ਹੋਰੁ ॥).¹²⁴ It’s same like the story of tortoise and earth; I think in the Indian subcontinent it’s famous with the bull. It should be noted that the above verse is not quoted by AV. Why?

Because he wanted to convey the message that the load on the bull is Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva is very important in the articles of AV. Let me digress a little to narrate this story also. AV believes Shivji is not a person like Vishnu; he writes him in a way of cosmology or some pseudoscientific manner. And the Shivalinga is something related to power or some other mumbo jumbo, not the private parts of Shivji and his wife, according to AV.

Now the reason behind the pseudoscientific stories on many websites is the shame that they’re facing because of the people living in this century. They’re mocked to so much extent that they’re feeling their ancestors were so wrong. For that reason, AV has to come up with the injected stories by the Rothschild, because there’s no other way for him to delete those horrific memories from the minds of the devotees who worship the phallus.

When I was reading the Ling Purana, a note was mentioned in the beginning that people call Shivalinga with a very repugnant (the essence was that) name. And in the Hindi translation of Shiv Purana, the whole chapter which talks about the phallus form of Shivji was ignored by the translator. In the original one, you can check that in the Kotrudrahansita, Chapter 12.

I remember reading the first part of Suraj Parkash, edited by Bhai Vir Singh ji, that how some people suggested to remove the stories which are not according to gurmatt. But he let them be there and put the notes at the bottom. Even a Sikh was suggesting that maybe in a later time those stories will be out of the historical scripture. With or without those stories, gurbani can help us distinguish between fake and real incidents. In the case of Hindus, they proudly say that they do not have just one or two books to follow; they’ve the whole library. But when these stories are talked about, they focus only on the Vedas, not the Puranas. It’s true that the Puranas talk about the historical incidents. Even if we go with the Vedas, the Puranas which show the different deities and their lives can’t be ignored while talking about their history. Or they have something in the Vedas, like we Sikhs say gurbani, on the basis of what they can differentiate between the fake and real? Never heard of that.

The Hindus who read the Sanskrit books say it openly that there’re many unrealistic and repugnant stories and rituals which should be ignored and can’t be taken as the truth because of their repulsive nature. And for this reason, the Hindi translation of the Puranas wouldn’t have those stories. But wouldn’t it just change the whole reason behind the origin of the Shivalinga or any ‘symbolic’ representation of the deities? With that, any stories can be created to please the minds of the votaries.

I can’t write the whole Chapter 12 from Shiva Purana, so just read the chapter here and check how the mainstream Hindus who’re worshippers of Shivji do not even know this story exists in their texts. Like in the beginning of the Ling Purana, it’s mentioned that it’s just a symbol of Shivji; the same-minded devotees do not explore their own scriptures. Also, the translator also mentioned the note that it represents the ‘creative forces’, but the story as it goes shows a different thing.

With AV’s assertion of the Hindu texts getting changed by the Rothschild and Shivji nothing more than some pseudoscientific form, although he got ready to have the mass of the Earth on Shivji’s head who didn’t even exist in the form which he’s trying to represent him, one can conclude that then Shiva Purana is not the book originated among the Hindus; it’s added by the British. Going with that notion, you can almost remove the whole books of Hindus. I don’t know with that narration of his where AV is taking the Hindus living in the 21^st century.

I think Hindus shouldn’t be ashamed of worshipping a phallus because Hinduism is not the only religion which does that. You can search Kanamara Matsuri festival or Min (a god). And many other where the people worship the phallus for various reasons. Some proud Hindus were heard saying that it’s the reason which caused us to be born in this world and we’re not ashamed to worship a phallus or vagina. I like these Hindus who tell it openly without any hesitation than those mind-controller pseudoscientific storytellers who are ready to transform the Old Hinduism into a New Hinduism where the definitions will be according to the ‘science’, not how their ancestors wrote or talked about.

As Macauliffe is an enemy in the eyes of the BHs and SSs, it gives me great pleasure to quote him for that specific reason and because it is according to the gurbani. ‘Here Guru Nanak obviously rejects the Hindu story that the earth is supported by a bull.’

Let’s come back to the misrepresentation of gurbani. In the original verse (ਸੁਅਸਤਿ ਆਥਿ ਬਾਣੀ ਬਰਮਾਉ ॥), it’s nowhere written to bow to Brahma¹²⁵. But in the English translation it’s translated like that. The correct meaning here is that from Waheguru Brahma came, or from Waheguru’s utterance of word the world came into existence. There’re multiple meanings of this verse, but none of them is related to bowing to a deity, which is profoundly infused in the Hindu scriptures. And the name Purana doesn’t appear to worship them but to tell even the Puranas do not know about the time¹²⁶ when the world came into existence. In Macauliffe’s words, ‘From the Self-existent proceeded Maya (athi), whence issued a word which produced Brahma and the rest.’ Does it here show ‘bow to Brahma’ thing? No. That’s why Macauliffe is hated by the BHs and SSs. Because he at least tried to give the correct meanings which are rejected by the almost non-existing intellectual of these anti-Sikh groups.

Guru Nanak Dev ji not only talked about Puranas, but Kateba too that even in them no time or season is mentioned. ਵੇਲ ਨ ਪਾਈਆ ਪੰਡਤੀ ਜਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਲੇਖੁ ਪੁਰਾਣੁ ॥ ਵਖਤੁ ਨ ਪਾਇਓ ਕਾਦੀਆ ਜਿ ਲਿਖਨਿ ਲੇਖੁ ਕੁਰਾਣੁ ॥ Like it’s mentioned in the earlier post too that a BH can see only the word Vedas or Puranas, not Kateba. Even the lines that AV wrote have this verse too but he didn’t highlight that so that only the readers could see what he wanted them to see.

 Next, Guru Sahib tells the different people singing the praises of Waheguru. (ਆਖਹਿ ਵੇਦ ਪਾਠ ਪੁਰਾਣ ॥ ਆਖਹਿ ਪੜੇ ਕਰਹਿ ਵਖਿਆਣ ॥ ਆਖਹਿ ਬਰਮੇ ਆਖਹਿ ਇੰਦ ॥ ਆਖਹਿ ਗੋਪੀ ਤੈ ਗੋਵਿੰਦ ॥ ਆਖਹਿ ਈਸਰ ਆਖਹਿ ਸਿਧ ॥) If one is thinking of these verses as the praises of some demigods¹²⁷, then he’s just a fool. And the reason why in Jap Ji Sahib many references to the Hindu scriptures is made was because this’s the discussion of the guru with the Sidhs, who were Hindus. During the talks with the Muslims, Guru Sahib used their books and beliefs to guide them, like about the circumcision, and the rug that they used while praying. This’s the greatness of the guru.

Actually, with a close scrutiny reveals that AV has not even read the whole verses that he’s quoting. Many of his articles point to the pseudoscientific terms for Shivji, but the verses that he’s copying from the English translation of gurbani say that Shivji sings the praises of Waheguru. Well, how is that possible? Or is he going to write in future the Shivji word was added by the Rothschild in the Sikh scriptures because Shivji is a mumbo jumbo that he writes about? LOL.

In the 27^th pauri, Guru Nanak Dev ji shows us a picture of Heavens where the deities sing the praises of Waheguru. When Guru Nanak Dev ji went to Sachkhand, then a similar shabad was sung by the guru. I remember a Hindu asking me on Quora that the Sikhs agree that these deities exist up in there. I was amazed to see many Hindus coming out and looking at the Sikh scriptures to validate their beliefs. I do not deny the existence of the deities; gurbani gives us many verses where the deities are mentioned, but it doesn’t say them to be superior than Waheguru or doing the praises. That is the difference.

In this part of AV’s article, he’s depicting in such a way that the gurbani is worshipping the demigods. So Shivji, Brahma, Indra, etc., are shown doing the praises of Waheguru, not worshipping them. And just saying these deities showing their love for Waheguru in the form of His praises shouldn’t be equivalated as ‘Hinduism’¹²⁸. It’s more of like showing the people that the deities that Hindus had raised to God were nothing but His servants.

35^th pauri of Jap Ji Sahib shows us the numerous Indra, Shivji, Krishna, etc¹²⁹. This whole world doesn’t have only one (ਕੇਤੇ ਪਵਣ ਪਾਣੀ ਵੈਸੰਤਰ ਕੇਤੇ ਕਾਨ ਮਹੇਸ ॥ ਕੇਤੇ ਬਰਮੇ ਘਾੜਤਿ ਘੜੀਅਹਿ ਰੂਪ ਰੰਗ ਕੇ ਵੇਸ ॥ ਕੇਤੀਆ ਕਰਮ ਭੂਮੀ ਮੇਰ ਕੇਤੇ ਕੇਤੇ ਧੂ ਉਪਦੇਸ ॥ ਕੇਤੇ ਇੰਦ ਚੰਦ ਸੂਰ ਕੇਤੇ ਕੇਤੇ ਮੰਡਲ ਦੇਸ ॥) trinity of Vishnu, Brahma and Shivji. There’re millions of the Brahmand, and in each Brahmand the trinity is doing their work according to the command of Waheguru. Bhai Gurdas ji’s vaar points to the different incarnations in different Brahmand.

ਓਅੰਕਾਰੁ ਆਕਾਰੁ ਕਰਿ ਏਕ ਕਵਾਉ ਪਸਾਉ ਪਸਾਰਾ ।
ਪੰਜ ਤਤ ਪਰਵਾਣੁ ਕਰਿ ਘਟਿ ਘਟਿ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਤ੍ਰਿਭਵਣੁ ਸਾਰਾ ।
ਕਾਦਰੁ ਕਿਨੇ ਨ ਲਖਿਆ ਕੁਦਰਤਿ ਸਾਜਿ ਕੀਆ ਅਵਤਾਰਾ ।
ਇਕ ਦੂ ਕੁਦਰਤਿ ਲਖ ਕਰਿ ਲਖ ਬਿਅੰਤ ਅਸੰਖ ਅਪਾਰਾ ।
ਇਕਸਿ ਇਕਸਿ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੰਡਿ ਵਿਚ ਦਸਿ ਦਸਿ ਕਰਿ ਅਵਤਾਰ ਉਤਾਰਾ ।
ਕੇਤੇ ਬੇਦਿ ਬਿਆਸ ਕਰਿ ਕਈ ਕਤੇਬ ਮੁਹੰਮਦ ਯਾਰਾ ।
ਕੁਦਰਤਿ ਇਕੁ ਏਤਾ ਪਾਸਾਰਾ ॥੪॥ – ਵਾਰ ੧ ਪਉੜੀ ੪

On the 8^th ang, Guru Sahib again talks about the deities singing the praises of Waheguru. I am not going to put a number for this because it’s already been captured. He doesn’t even check that so dar has been talked about in Jap Ji Sahib too. But as it gives him a pleasure to write blindly without much sense, so he doesn’t care about the arbitrary points that he is raising again and again. Same is true on the 9^th ang because it’s some part of so dar too.

Now we’ve the part of Rehraas Sahib where Guru Sahib tells the different types of people doing everything to please Waheguru. (ਤੇਰੇ ਅਨੇਕ ਤੇਰੇ ਅਨੇਕ ਪੜਹਿ ਬਹੁ ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ ਜੀ ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਿਆ ਖਟੁ ਕਰਮ ਕਰੰਤਾ ॥ ਸੇ ਭਗਤ ਸੇ ਭਗਤ ਭਲੇ ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਜੀ ਜੋ ਭਾਵਹਿ ਮੇਰੇ ਹਰਿ ਭਗਵੰਤਾ ॥੪॥) So just highlight Simrities to tell it talks about Hinduism¹³⁰? Come on, AV, you can do better with your lies. It’s true that people lie because it’s the easiest thing to do which doesn’t even require to have any base. You can lie about almost everything. The problem comes when you’ve to back this up with facts. In the case of AV, he backs up his lies with lies to spread the lies by writing more lies. BHs and SSs are as dumb as AV, but at least they try to do their best by bringing some cliché arguments, which is missing in the case of AV. I wonder what’ll happen if the BHs and SSs adopt the same way of doing the analysis of history like AV is doing!

It’s incumbent on the BHs to mistranslate the verses. (ਅਠਸਠਿ ਤੀਰਥ ਕਾ ਮੁਖਿ ਟਿਕਾ ਤਿਤੁ ਘਟਿ ਮਤਿ ਵਿਗਾਸੁ ॥) This verse doesn’t imply to go bathe in the holy places¹³¹, it’s to tell that the people who are drenched in the Naam, by seeing them give the boon of 68 holy places. It’s also translated as the ones who’re drenched in Naam and they’ve been enlightened, they’ve bathed in the 68 holy places – it shows the advantages of Naam; Naam is above all, even in Jap Ji Sahib we read that by listening to Naam one gets the boon of 68 holy places (ਸੁਣਿਐ ਅਠਸਠਿ ਕਾ ਇਸਨਾਨੁ ॥), this’s how great the Naam is.

One of the pivotal points missed by the non-Sikhs by reading the Sikh scriptures is that they do not see the scripture different from theirs. E.g., the Shiva and Shakti are translated by the BHs and SSs as Shivji and Parbati. They want the Shakti to be a female aspect of God. Those who’re saying that God is always mentioned as a He, not She, they have tried to use this terminology in the religious matters to prove the one half of Waheguru as a female. And it also happened in Sikhism. It’s visible in the work of Nikky-Gurinder Kaur Singh’s The Birth of the Khalsa. A lady with the name of Shri Mataji has made the similar types of points with not much sense but just to have a say that Waheguru is a female also because the men-leading religions have been saying it’s a He.

I’ve talked with the Sikhs and Hindus who point to the same way as these people. I’ve told them that Waheguru or Ram or Allah or any name for that matter, God is not some male or female, He is beyond that. But then they bring the argument that they’re not implying that God is having the man body parts or female body parts but the muscularity or femininity which they’re talking about. Gurbani says that Waheguru is Mother and Father both. But if we are calling Him Mother it doesn’t mean that it’s showing the womanhood of Waheguru, and for Father he’s showing the manhood. The normal people who just write with no understanding of spiritualism decline every aspect of the religion but focus on their secular thoughts and bring down the Almighty under the definitions of their own understanding. Those who worship the Shakti – Sakatmattiye – they even change the meaning of gurbani because they need to have a validation from the Sikh scriptures. One BH even told me that Guru Gobind Singh ji worshipped Shakti so he didn’t care about Vishnu and other deities. This is one of the lamest arguments that I ever heard while debating with someone else. The truth is Shakti and Shakta both are same. They are not different. Waheguru is neither male nor female, neither masculine, nor feminine. God is God, but if someone wants to have Him under his definitions, then he can do whatever he wants to do.

Anyways, the Shiva and Shakti that AV writes has nothing to do with Shivji or Parbati¹³². You can read the series Concept of Akaal Shakti and the wrong conclusion by non-Sikhs.

At last he mentioned about the 8.4 million life cycle of birth and death, which according to him is about Hinduism¹³³. Actually, it’s not only in Hinduism, it’s there in Sikhism too. This point and other similarities between both the religions are taken by the BHs and SSs as the shoot off of Sikhism from Hinduism. If asked how they got this knowledge about the 8.6 million life cycle thing, they will proudly say they’d it from their sages or from Brahma or some Rishis who meditated for so long and then gave this divine knowledge to them. If the Sikhs say they got it from the gurus who got it from Waheguru (although both are same), then they argue it to that extent that they say it selfishly that these concepts are the copies from the Hindu scripture. So the divine knowledge coming from the Divine/Enlightenment is possible in your religion, but not in other religions? Hmm … bullshit.

AV quoted seven times from Jap Ji Sahib. Here is another example of his inability to grasp the very thing about the Sikh scripture. All those Sikhs who are reading this must be knowing that at the end of the pauri, the gurus put the numbers to tell how many pauria are completed or total number of shabads. But this brainless scum, who’s writing about the Sikh history, doesn’t even know this thing. Instead of 5, 9, 16, 21, 26, 35, he chose the numbers of pauria as 4, 8, 15, 20, 25, 34¹³⁴ because before the beginning of the verses these numbers were written. The guy doesn’t even know this basic thing, and he’s trying to find the verses added or removed by the Rothschild or British. 😐 The only correct number that he got is 27.

At the last of this post, I want to confer that when it comes to the Hindu scriptures’ translation done by the non-Hindus, preferably some British or European, which doesn’t match with the new narration of the Hindus, AV will call them Rothschild’s agents, anti-Hindu, anti-Indian, blah blah. On the other side, those who’ve admitted the profound knowledge in the Hindu scriptures they were called the physicists. The most popular among the Hindus right now, which they give example of, is J. Robert Oppenheimer, who quoted from Bhagavat Gita, ‘Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.’

But if the Sikhs say that those who did the translation the way it’s right, they were called the Rothschild agents by AV, or the guy to wedge between Sikhs and Hindus by the BHs. And those who write against the very nature of the religion, they’re called the truth-tellers, like Ernest Trumpp.

We’re not as brainless as AV and BHs and SSs that we can bring any stories from the sky to talk about our religion. What is there is there. We don’t stand behind the lies. I am pretty sure if we’re as intellectually drained as them, we would have called Trumpp a crypto Jew who’s sent by Rothschild to destroy our religion. Alas, we’re sensible; we can’t do that.
