You have been rejected, despised and forsaken by man . . . . yet extremely loved, extremely respected and extremely sacrificial towards the things of God. You are a rare breed of servant hearted leader whose zeal and passion will cause many to be ushered into the Kingdom of God. I am so proud of you. Keep shining with the love of God, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. God has big dreams and plans for you. <br/><br/>

Bible says in the beginning God created heaven and earth.  If we are created, we have only one God, that God is Jesus Christ.  He came into the world as Son of God to die for the sins of man - too many religions made by man.

Read God's 10 Commandments.  I follow God's Sabbath on the 7th day which is Saturday.  It is changed to Sunday by the Catholic Church.  Daniel 7:25 Men will think to change the Law and time.

2500 years ago the New York plane attack is mentioned in the Bible.  There is very possibility that the end will come in Obama's time.

Read the last prophecy on line "National Sunday Law".  This Law would be enforced by Pope and Amrica.  God said this will happen 2000 years ago.  Fight beween God and devil will be over soon and God's chosen ones can go with Him soon.  Come Lord Jesus, we are ready to leave this miserable world of sin and suffering.<br/><br/>

power of Jesus is highly inspiring.
There is a great misconception when people hear  that one person became a Christian.  It is
not a name change from one religion to another religion, which
will not do much good.  But the 
real change is when a person is
following Jesus Christ as his or her
Lord and saviour.  Jesus can give
peace and happiness and the same peace and happiness can't
be found anywhere in the world,
and it is possible only through 
Jesus Christ.  God bless you brother,  you will have more believers in your area very soon.

How about you taking a new name - Nutty Buddy, huh? :-) It goes well with your personality!  

Don't you have any new thing to say? You are the one who will fail -and fail miserably. Unfortunately for you, your spitting venom won't (and can't) change the truth (a bitter pill for you to swallow no doubt) - that JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO SALVATION. I see that you are making good preparations for your grand welcome to hell. Good job, keep it up!<br/><br/>

Bachitter Singh Sidhu was not brain-washed by any man.  He had been a follower of Sikhism and came to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ by personally experiencing salvation. Shaun Singh and GB Singh could not prove that the Bible is based on lies.  I had corresponded with them on the issues raised by them and punctured all their arguments. About the miracles, Shaun Singh and GB Singh did believe in the miracles perfomed by Guru Nanak. They had referred to a website in this regard. 

Jesus is not a fiction but the Truth, the Way and the Life.

Nanak was a never God. he never asked people to worship him. All of sikh gurus were wordly people. Sikh Gurus say they are sinners. Because they are! Even then gullible Sikhs continue to worship their Gurus. Sikhism is all about lies. Every verse in Granth Sahib has been stolen from religious books, that were penned much before G Sahib. The Sikh Gurus themselves seem a confused lot, who call themselves sinners, and also warn that people who worship them will go to hell. I know people in Golden Temple who do not believe in teachings of Sikh Gurus, but they are afraid to come out in open, they fear their life. Maskeen was another secret follwer of Jesus. Sikhs have stolen many things from Quran also. Granth is good poetry, nothing else. It has no power to transform lives.  <br/><br/>

1. What did Sikhism bring to the world enshrined in its teachings that hadn’t already existed in Islam or Hinduism? If u read Sikh scriptures it’s a case of re-inventing the wheel as everything it preached already existed in the: Torah, Bible, Koran or the Geeta! Wake up Sikh lions!


2. Sikh parents habitually brainwash their children by telling them how barbaric the Muslims (esp. Mughals) were towards "Our Gods". Muslims are responsible for murdering them. If a God can't save His own skin, how’s He gonna protect his followers?



3. The concept of Ik Onkar (one god) in Sikhism is very ambiguous. You may infer from Sikh teachings that Ik Onkar in actual fact is a reference 2 all the 10 gurus’ collectively & not one god. If u study Sikh scripture objectively one thing u’ll soon realise is that Guru Nanak is attributed with divine traits. If u don’t believe me then read the following passage & then make ur mind up:

“God is in the Guru and Guru is in God. Though God is everywhere and in everybody but His traits are illuminated through the Guru. The Jot (Divine Light) that enshrined Guru Nanak's body and the Primal Jot of God are, therefore, one and the same”

'Guru Nanak Har Soai.' 

(Gaund Mohalla 5, pg. 865)

Let’s remind our selves about the bit that attributes divinity 2 Guru Nanak…The Jot (Divine Light) that enshrined Guru Nanak's body and the Primal Jot of God are, therefore, one and the same”

Take any of the banis at random, whether it’s from the: Jai Dev, Naam Dev, Sadhana, Tirlochan, u will discover the same confusing message regarding the status of Guru Nanak. It's entirely possible that people like Guru Amar Das may have completely corrupted the writings of Guru Nanak & interpolated the Adi Granth with his own take on Sikhi. & this very possible coz the Adi Granth is a collection of hymns taken from multiple-authors.

I believe any rational mind begins detect the inherent contradictions in the notion of Ik Onkar according 2 Sikh teachings.



4. If Sikhs believe in the unity of God then why does there exist such a paucity of information regarding this God?



5. It is well documented that before Guru Arjan Dev Ji finally compiled the final version of the Guru Granth Sahib, it had been corrupted by Guru Amar Das, who chopped and changed things according to his understanding of Sikhi.



6. Even though Guru Nanak declared "there is no Hindu..." he praised Hinduism endlessly. The contradictions don't end there, because Hindu gods are also praised in the Granth Sahib. So what ever happened to the sanctity of Ik Onkar? Sikhs and Hindus even share some religious festivals, such as Diwali. Did Guru Gobind Ji ever utter the infamous phrase "there is Hindu there is no muslamaan"? Like Hindu myths, did the subsequent 9 Gurus make up untrue stories and attributed them to Guru Gobind?


7. Sikhs, especially those who are amrit shak (baptised) love telling you that all faiths lead to God. If that’s the case then why do Sikh parents the world over fill their children’s hearts & minds with toxic venom against Muslims and Christians, especially the former? Why do Sikhs go bananas when a Sikh converts 2 Christianity or Islam? If all religions lead to God then it means that the rules & tenants that make Sikh teachings have no significance or meaning. What’s the purpose of not cutting ur hair or refraining from eating halal meat, or reciting the Kirtan Sohila before you go to sleep, or wearing the kara if all religions lead to god. The 5 Ks of Sikhism r completely symbolic.


8. Being a Sikh by its very definition means u don't have 2 use ur head or logic 2 follow its teachings. It's all in the heart & once u become sentimental about something, and then reason or logic goes straight out of the window! This is y Sikhi has little or no appeal outside the Punjab. This small fish has been taken out of the water & is now left on the shore, where it is suffocating a slow death because of the onslaught of alien western values & mores that it cannot deal with.


9. The whole of the Sikhi movement is like one big 'Passion Play', inexorably emphasising the suffering of its Gurus-cum-Gods at the hand of the Muslims. If Sikhs omitted this element from its teachings, then Sikhi would collapse. Sikhism is all in the heart & not the mind. & so the wheel keeps spinning. 

When Sikhs do get a chance 2 learn about Islam & not the errant ways of its adherents such as the Mughal emperors, then they realise that in actual fact Sikh elders (esp. the amritkhar) drip feed young Sikhs blatant untruths about Islam in order to keep the decreasing numbers in siki strong.


10. In essence Sikhism is a martial movement conceived by the 10 Sikh gurus 2 repel the surge of Islam in the sub continent. The gurus thought they knew of a better way 2 God by borrowing a lot of ingredients from the Hindu larder & a few from the Islamic one. 10 ordinary mortals (gurus) thought that they knew better than what their creator Allah was demanding from them in terms of worship, as such Sikhism was born.


11. If Guru Nanak is the light of God then how on earth could light be reincarnated? If the theory of reincarnation is taken 2 its logical conclusion then the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb could have easily been the reincarnation of Guru Nanak? There’s no way u can prove this or refute it! & that’s a promise. Then this in turn germinates more unseen but very man-made problems; in that it was on the orders of Aurangzeb that the 9th Sikh Guru Taegh Badhaur was executed. In other words Guru Nanak could have come back as a Muslim emperor to kill a Sikh guru. 

Sikh Gurus were only martyrs. They can't lead to God. Sikhs have a habit of falling at feet of every martyr, like Baba Deep Singh etc. They glorify every martyr as God. Wake up my brothers. Please.

Sidhu)</author><pubDate><![CDATA[Fri, 27 Jun 2008 23:56:22 MDT]]></pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.southasianconnection.com/articles/305/1/I-Left-My-Family-Not-Knowing-What-To-Do-Or-Where-To-Go----/Page1.html#Comment4516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comment #29]]></title><link>http://www.southasianconnection.com/articles/305/1/I-Left-My-Family-Not-Knowing-What-To-Do-Or-Where-To-Go----/Page1.html#Comment4523</link><description><![CDATA[I agree with Mr J Sidhu. Sikhism is nothing but just an amalgamation of teachings from Hindu, Muslim, Christian faith. The concept of langar first started in Bible, with Jesus feeding the poor. This is where concept of Sangat, Langar has been stolen cleverly by Gurus, who themselves were confused over the identity of the Creator, they call Him Ik Onkar, but they also want to worship other Gods! If they refute what Guru Gobind Singh said, then it means they are being disagreeable with their Guru! Not a very wise thing to do. Gur Gobind Singh was just a martyr, a warrior, a Goddess worshipper. many Sikhs still visit Hindu temples, pilgrimages, Muslim pilgrimages. Have you ever seen seen a Muslim or Christian bow before hindu Gods....? NEVER!!  

1) Tenth (so called) Guru initially created a granth called Samundar Sagar, and had it thrown into a river. Later, some papers (Sanchis) were prepared, but these, too, were scattered to the wind and lost in the time of battles. Second, in 1725 A.D. Bhai Mani Singh compiled a granth combining the bani of Aad Granth and the writings that subsequently came to be called Dasam Granth.[4] For doing this mix-up, and thereby violating the prescribed sequence or method of writing gurbani, a poor Sikh, when he saw the combined granth, cursed Bhai Sahib saying that just as he had disjointed the gurbani and mixed it up, he would also be cut to pieces.[5] Chhibber never writes chronologically. In 1698 A.D. Guru Gobind Singh rejected the request of the Sikhs to combine the Aad Granth with his own writings.[6] It is very significant that the entire Gobind Singh was much influenced by Brahminical practices, and stories of demons, fairies, Hom, Mantras, curses, etc., even though he knows that these are opposed to the doctrines in the Guru Granth Sahib. In short, his Brahminical faith and prejudices are glaringly evident.


2. Sikh Gurus were a confused lot. Like Mr Sidhu has said, they were under heavy influence of Hinduism. 

They praise Hindu Gods in Dasam Granth. But i believe a Sikh is not to bow before idols. Then why even praise Idol Gods? Sikhism is just an amalgamation of Hindu, Muslim, Christian faith. 


3) Except for about 70 pages of the Dasam Granth, including Jap Sahib, Swayyas, Akal Ustat (excluding hymns in praise of Durga), Asphotak Chhand and Zaffarnama, the other contents which involve worship of Avtars, Devis and Mahakal are mostly from the Puranic literature. Following are some instances of Devi Worship. 
i) Tribhangi Chhands (201-220, In Akal Ustat) are clearly in praise of the Devi.
ii) In Shashtarnama in the beginning there is a whole chapter (27 chhands) in praise of the Devi.
iii) Chandi Chariter I & II, Chaubis Avtar, Rudra Avtar including parts of Charitropakhyan, all relate to the Puranic myths that are in praise of the Devi and Avtars.
iv) Similarly, in the above Puranic stories there are numerous hymns in praise of Maha Kal, who is a Tantric or Sakat deity, pages 55, 56, 57, 58, 73, 156, 157, 183, 185, 254, 310, 612, 613, 642, etc.
v) Worship of Devi under the name of Kalika, Chandi, Siva or Durga is found at pages 74, 76, 99, 117, 255, 118, 309, 310, 116, 673, 675, etc., etc.
vi) Apart from the Var of Durga, there is the entire Puranic story of the Devi coming to the rescue of the mythical Indra and fighting battles with demon Maikhasur, involving trillions of soldiers (Devi worship Chhands and narration of the myth).
vii) In Chandi Charitar Ukat Bilas the author mentions that he has virtually made the composition from 700 slokas of Markand Purana. He adds that whoever hears or recites the same for any specific boon, the Devi would certainly grant it instantaneously (Chandi Chariter, Ukat Bilas - sloka 232).
viii) In Chandi Chariter II in the sloka 261 the author writes that whoever remembers or worships the Devi with devotion,shall attain salvation. Similarly, in the Durga Var the author writes that whoever recites the same, will achieve salvation and not be born again (stanza or pauri - 55).
ix) Whether it is Rama Avtar, Parasnath Avtar, Krishna Avtar, Brahma Avtar, or the other Puranic stories, these all relate to the worship to the Devi and Avtars.
x) Charitropakhyan, too, involves worship of the Devi and Kal or Maha Kal (Charitra 405, Chhands 52, 77, 126 and 132). 

The above few instances prove that, apart from the about 70 pages or so, the writings in the Dasam Granth positively accept and involve Devi and Avtar worship. Accordingly, these writings (Chandi Charitra and Chandi Di Var - 126 pages, Chaubis Avtar - 744 pages, Brahm Rudra Avtar - 383 pages, Charitropakhyan and Hikayat - 923 pages) show the confused minds of Sikh Gurus. Where is teh concept of Ik Onkar? i am amused! Really. Has anyone seen a more confused lot?

4) The Gurus call anyone who worships an idol a fool. But then why do they glorify Hinduism, Hindu Gods? Again Gurus are a confused lot. See this passage. This contradicts point no 3. The Gurus themselves are not sure who is the real God!!

About mythical writings and Devi and Avtar worship Guru Granth Sahib records:
i) "O brother, fools worship gods and goddesses. They do not know that these imaginary deities can give nothing."[26]
ii) "The Vedas, Brahma, gods and goddesses know not His secrets, and have no knowledge of the Creator."[27]
iii) "The fools, the ignorant and the blind forget the Master Lord, and instead, worship His slaves, the goddesses and Maya."[28]

5) Excuse me did the Gurus say all are one? The Gurus glorify Hinduism, and then they criticise their Gods!! Such contrasting statements!

6) It is also evident that none of the Devi or Avtar-worship indicate the confused minds of Sikh Gurus.  Further, already the SGPC has accepted the position that 923 pages of Charitropakhyan are Puranic myths, unconnected with the Guru.

Now SGPC decides what is a myth and what is the truth. Hmm, so where is the poor Guru? Did he say everything in vain? So called scholars in SGPC are now defining what is to be included in Granth or not. They do not care what their Gurus say. Objective is clear - to preserve Sikhi and not to let the gullible Sikhs see the errors in their scriptures. 

7) Gobind Singh was most confused person. He brought the Panth into the Hindu fold, and drew inspiration from the Puranic past and the Shakti cult, even though it is a historical fact that the hill princes, the staunch worshippers of the Shakti or Devi cult, not only opposed the Guru, but also voluntarily accepted the supremacy of the Mighty Mughal instead of confronting him. 

The Guru says: "The Khalsa was constituted to emancipate the Hindu society from the contemporary evils including idolatry, caste system, superstition and ritualism." "Again at that time among the disciples of the Great Guru Gobind Singh - Bhai Nand Lal, Bhai Kanahya and Mohkam Chand, all were Hindus. Bhai Mati Das and Bhai Dayala who sacrificed their lives along with Guru Tegh Bahadur, were also Hindus." "Not only this, but Guru Gobind Singh himself revered Hindu Goddesses - Chandi and Durga and the Hindu Avtars including - Sri Ram Chander and Lord Krishna."[29]

lets think. one of the sad thing that has happened in this country is, people has stopped reasoning. and reasoning should be based on facts not on myths!

Anyway lets proceed with two questions:
1. In comment # 15, you mentioned the ideas  from Koran came (stolen) into Guru Granth. Could you provide evidence of suras and ayats from Koran and then correspond them to those in Guru Granth? Keep in mind I have the Koran and all the hadiths and I study them.
2. I have known Maskeen and I have access to his relatives. Provide us the evidence that he was a secret admirer of Jesus.

Maskeen is no more, but he drew inspiration from Bible teachings. What's the big deal in knowing him personally? It was a well kept secret of Maskeen, even from his family members.  Even the Gurus of Radhaswamis believe in Jesus. Go and read their books, where all is stolen (oops..inspired from Bible)Granthis in Darbar Sahib are heavily influenced by Bible. The poor chaps themselves confess that they know the truth but they are afraid to come out in open, they fear their life and daily bread. 

Muhammed was also heavily influenced by Bible. Much of Old Testaments has been copied in Quran. This is what led me to search the original book. History records that Muhammed only had access to some parts of Old Testament, hence the similarities. 

What do you have to say about your Gobind Singh? About his worship to deities, Devis? Focus of main issues, not useless ones like knowing Maskeen etc. Do not run away from truth. Enough evidence has been given by myself and J Sidhu to prove about Sikhism being just an amalgamation of teachings from other sources. Sikh Gurus were a confused lot. Tenth Guru had dual personalities. How else can you explain his affinity to Chandi etc? Myself and J Sidhu have given enough evidence to prove that Sikhism is not a religion at all. If my Quran is copied from Bible, then yes i would like to get hold of the original book sir. 

You have Quran and Hadiths etc, so i am surprised why were you not able to find out errors in yoru Granth? Strange. Come up with positive facts. Read again what we have written in our comments. We are not even asking you to prove us wrong, coz we aren't! Try not to sway from the topic. What do you have to say about your warrior Gobind Singh and his affinity to Hindu Goddesses? Where did the concept of one God go then? <br/><br/>

2. Provide me with the specific references from the Koran and then link them with corresponding verses in Guru Granth. 
Ahmed: I am not interested in your BS; I am interested in facts. Pay attention to what I am asking from you. Just to help you in this matter, read the article posted under this website:

Thanks. 

GB Singh - 


1) There is still no answer to mine and Sidhu's facts about Sikhi. Especially the tenth Guru of Sikhs being an ardent follower of Hindu Goddesses, whereas Sikhi condemns idol worship. Now if the Tenth (so called ) Guru himself took pleasure in worshipping Devi Matas, Idols, Hindu Goddesses - he is defying the very order of Sikhi, that there be no idol worship. I don't understand how can you call such a person your Guru! A martyr yes, but def not Guru! Such a confused person, as Gobind Singh, then lays down the foundation for Khalsa, declaring Granth to be the only Guru etc etc, while he himself made merry worshipping Hindu Goddesses. Some Guru this! Hah!

2) Guru Nanak was influenced by Sant Kabir
Guru Nanak was influenced by the sayings of Sant Kabir so much that several chapters of Sri Guru Granth Sahib contain couplets of Sant Kabir. 
"Dukh mein sumirana sabh karein 
Sukh mein karein na koya
Jo sukh mein sumirana karein 
To dukh kaye hoye?"
"In times of trouble, God is remembered by all But none remembers Him during peace and happiness. If God is remembered in good times of happiness Why should trouble occur?"
Compare this with the following verse of the Qur’an:  "When some trouble toucheth man, He crieth unto his Lord, Turning to Him in repentance: But when He bestoweth A favour upon him As from Himself, (Man) doth forget what he cried And prayed for before, And he doth set up Rivals unto Allah." [Al-Qur’an 39:8]

3) GB Singh - Here are more similarities between Quran and Granth. The Gurus were inspired a lot by Quran. 

FIRST MEHL: There are five prayers and five times of day for prayer; the five have five names. Let the first be truthfulness, the second honest living, and the third charity in the Name of God. Let the fourth be good will to all, and the fifth the praise of the Lord. Repeat the prayer of good deeds, and then, you may call yourself a Muslim. O Nanak, the false obtain falsehood, and only falsehood.
Quran 98:5 And they have been commanded no more than this: To worship Allah, offering Him sincere devotion, being true (in faith); to establish regular prayer; and to practice regular charity; and that is the Religion Right and Straight.Quran 4:36 Serve Allah, and join not any partners with Him; and do good- to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, those in need, neighbors who are near, neighbors who are strangers, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (ye meet), and what your right hands possess: For Allah loves not the arrogant, the vain glorious. 

3) GAUREE SUKHMANI, FIFTH MEHL, SHALOK:
|| 1 || ASHTAPADEE: Slandering the Saints, ones life is cut short. Slandering the Saints, one shall not escape the Messenger of Death. Slandering the Saints, all happiness vanishes. Slandering the Saints, one falls into hell. Slandering the Saints, the intellect is polluted. Slandering the Saints, ones reputation is lost. One who is cursed by a Saint cannot be saved. Slandering the Saints, ones place is defiled. But if the Compassionate Saint shows His Kindness, O Nanak, in the Company of the Saints, the slanderer may still be saved. || 1 || Slandering the Saints, one becomes a wry-faced malcontent. Slandering the Saints, one croaks like a raven. Slandering the Saints, one is reincarnated as a snake. Slandering the Saints, one is reincarnated as a wiggling worm. Slandering the Saints, one burns in the fire of desire. Slandering the Saints, one tries to deceive everyone. Slandering the Saints, all ones influence vanishes. Slandering the Saints, one becomes the lowest of the low. For the slanderer of the Saint, there is no place of rest.

Quran 2:104 O ye of Faith! Say not (to the Messenger) words of ambiguous import, but words of respect; and pay heed (to him): To those without Faith is a grievous punishment. 2:105 It is never the wish of those without Faith among the People of the Book, nor of the Pagans, that anything good should come down to you from your Lord. But Allah will choose for His special Mercy whom He will - for Allah is Lord of grace abounding.

4) || 8 || 10 || SHALOK: God alone is the Doer of deeds there is no other at all. O Nanak, I am a sacrifice to the One, who pervades the waters, the lands, the sky and all space.|| 1 || ASHTAPADEE: The Doer, the Cause of causes, is potent to do anything. That which pleases Him, comes to pass. In an instant, He creates and destroys. He has no end or limitation. By His Order, He established the earth, and He maintains it unsupported. By His Order, the world was created; by His Order, it shall merge again into Him. By His Order, ones occupation is high or low. By His Order, there are so many colors and forms. Having created the Creation, He beholds His own greatness. O Nanak, He is pervading in all.

Qurân 7:185: Will they not ponder upon the kingdom of the heaven and the Earth, and all that God has created to see whether their hour is not drawing near? And in what other revelation would they believe those that deny this 

(Qur'an) ? Qurân 2:117-118: The Originator of the heavens and the earth. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it : "Be!" - and it is. And those who have no knowledge say: "Why doesn't Allâh speak to us (face to face) or why does not a sign come to us?" So said the people before them words of similar import. Their hearts are alike, We have indeed made plain the signs for people who believe with certainty.

Quran was in turn inspired a lot by Bible. I do not have to prove that to you, do i? 

Maskeen is no more, so i can't even ask you to call him up. The only option now is for you to seek his answer when you also join him where he is now. Thank you sir.<br/><br/>

Here is my assessment:

1. I asked you specifically about Maskeen and look what your answer is. What you are telling me is that you have no answer and no evidence. In other words, Ahmed you lied about Maskeen. Telling lies on someone especially on one who has died off is not worthy of you. 

2.  I have carefully read your quoted verses from Koran (about six in number) and their corresponding verses from Guru Granth. I commend you for trying here. But you failed in making a convincing argument. Forget convincing you were not even close. Remember Ahmed, little knowledge or total ignorance is not bliss; rather it can mess up with your standings. And it has.
 
3. You seem to be referring to “Dasam Granth” in your references on Guru Gobind Singh. Again, Ahmed you are deadly wrong. “Dasam Granth” was compiled by East India Company. The reason I didn’t say anything earlier is because I believe I have already addressed it on SAC in the past.

4. Ahmed, you might be faithful to your beliefs. But at the same I must tell you that you are not an intelligent person. Take my brotherly advice: Learn to do your homework first diligently before jumping to the conclusions. I hope you will take my criticisms in good stride as I mean no personal insult to you.

GB Singh asked Ahmed, "What evidence do you have to say that Maskeen was a secret admirer of Jesus or even of the Bible? ..." Ahmed had given a statement of fact.  Jesus was admired by many intellectuals, poets, writers, religious leaders, etc. It is a known fact. What kind of evidence is required by GB Singh to be presented by Ahmed in this forum? 

Giani Sant Singh Maskeen (1934-2005) a famous Sikh theologian, was born in 1934 at Lak Marwat in District Bannu in present Pakistan. Giani ji was the only son of his parents and had lived at Alwar in Rajasthan for the last 57 years of his life. He was honoured by the Sikh community with the rare title of Panth Ratan for his services to mankind through the message of Gurbani. Giani Sant Singh Maskeen sadly passed away on 18th February 2005 due to a massive heart attack while attending a marriage function in Etawah in Uttar Pradesh, India.

I found that Giani Sant Singh Maskeen was infamous for exposing scams and other wrong doings in Sikh Temples, he was known to publish books detailing how many temple's would keep a majority of the donations for them selves. His works created shockwaves through Sikhism since such scams were being exposed, for this he won the admiration of many and the hatred from some. He was a reformer and a crusader against the corruption in the Sikh temples. 

Ahmed did ask GB Singh to contradict a statement that Guru Gobind Singh worshiped a Hindu goddess.  

GB Singh cannot judge on the intelligence of Ahmed just by asking the latter to produce some evidence for the belief of Maskeen on Jesus Christ. 

Jolly who was a Sikh accepted Jesus Christ as his savior after coming to know the truth.  It is a fact.  Let us not deviate from this fact and go into the life of Maskeen.<br/><br/>

Thanks for a great testimony. May God bless you as you continue the Great Commission.

A laser beam or reflective lights of diamonds are not seen in pure sunlight but put it less light or darkened areas and you can see it. 
Same way you see the power of Christ overwhelming the forces of darkness (other gods (read demons or evil spirits)).
In India at Kalyan near Bombay there was a tantrik who always you to vist the cremation and burial grounds. Many people where afraid of him. Even the Hindu priests, Muslims and the Sikhs in the neighbourhood were afraid of him. But surprisingly this tantrik was afraid of a thin prayerful Christian boy. The tantrik never challenged him and always avoided him. 
It was obvious the God of the Christians (Jesus) was more powerful then the pretenders. The Hindu priests or the Muslims or Sikhs were always afraid and their own god/s could not give them any courage inspite of their prayers.

Pls read the testimony of Dr Srinivasa Bhattachary and Sadhu chellappa http://blogs.agniministries.org/post/2008/05/A-BREATHTAKING-TESTIMONY-OF-DRSRINIVASA-BHATTACHARY.aspx 


Pls do your own research and checking at Faith Home in Kathmandu or at Banaras University. Also at the temples where his relatives are still hindu priests.

The Dr SB is under death threats and faces persecution but is still is doing the Great Commission as commanded by Lord Jesus Christ.

If you do not accept Jesus you will not be forced but just think of all the people born in this world the only person born, lived, died and rose up sinless is Jesus.

I have never met any person who is highly educated with a doctorate degree (high IQ and knowledgeable) converting to Hinduism or Sikhism or Islam from Christianity.

I have seen them becoming atheists but not towards the above three faiths.

We have some celebrities converting but I have not seen the highly educated celebrities converting to Hinduism, Jainism, sikhism, Islam or for that matter any other religion.

There is God (He is good & is The Creator) otherwise there cannot be such complex life forms. There is Anti-God who is evil otherwise there can't be such evil as seen in video/world. 


True enlightenment is when you know this Creator personally. For this you must clear yourself of any thoughts which could bias or influence your search and simply pray "O God my Creator and who created this world pls help me & show me the right path and I will follow You and if you don't answer me I will do what I feel is right and You will be responsible." God will reveal Himself to you. Try it for 7 days. Remember don't read/visit/perform/see/touch/hear any religious or spiritual book/place/ritual/video/object/audio or person during these 7 days. 

If you earnestly seek God then He will reveal himself to you and don't be surprised when you do the above you will be drawnto Jesus.

By the way the Bible is not written by God but inspired by His Spirit thru many authors over time recording the successes and failures, good and bad done by many types of people since Creation till the time of Jesus and just beyond.

In semitic languages a dot is zero and a comma is a decimal. So translations from manuscripts can be not exact depending upon what you read it as. But this does not dilute the message.

Sikhism which beleives that we are part of God and after death return to God is erroneous and is hindu teacjhing

God bless and may the risen Christ show himself to you all thru HIs Spirit.

There is nothing wrong in asking Ron to provide a proper reference. I hope Ron will answer. Not only Sikh Gurus have died, so have all the biblical prophets including Jesus. Nobody can escape death. That's just a reality which for reasons you seem to shun.<br/><br/>
