Prof Puran Singh did got inspired by Bhai Vir Singh Ji, to get attracted back to SIKHI, but his spirtual vision/experiences and mystic expressions run at a different plane than Bhai Vir Singh Ji, as we read the literature created by both. Professor Puran Singh respects Bhai Vir Singh Ji, it should not mean both agree everywhere. Moreover, the talk about ISHNAAN or other pretty small things, is noby MB Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

I have some scattered memories, about VEER JI. Veer Ji was so dear, to many. JO HAR KA PYARA SO SABNA KA PYARA. His helping attitude and instant help was open for all, sikhs or non sikhs. While travelling through Gurdaspur villages, for CHALDA VAHEER, I had the chance to be with Bhai Sahib Ji. A big cart, used to carry fodder in Punjab villages, was used to carry the LANGAR accessories, froby MB Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Thank you Veer Sukhdeep Singh, for clearing the truth about this and other such cults. There should be no misconception about them, to the readers. As you say, uneducated and lazy people follow them, I add that they are unlucky too.by MB Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Naam Simran; is not so simple a technique. It has multiple dimensions and intensely deeper meanings. For Gursikhs, it is the only way, to be a true sikh, on the right path. For others, it is a ritual, generally speaking. Rituals are never welcome in KHALSA way of life. Those who are doing it as a ritual; it is and will always be a complicated subject. For non Amritdharies; it is a tough job.by MB Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

"mil saadh sangat bhaj kavel naam" I have also been doing thoughts on this and other GURBANI saying about Naam Jaap in Sangat. There is no doubt that GURBANI says NAAM JAAP with SANGAT, in SANGAT, through SANGAT. Just analyse the above PANGATI. If it is about doing SIMRIN only, with SADH SANGAT; does it imply that there should be no KIRTAN while being with SADH SANGAT, because it says kaby MB Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Eyesacademic Veer Ji, has very concisely and precisely answered the points related with the discussion. I have always unliked the change done to original calendar.

We do not choose parents. They are part of our destiny. God wanted us to born to them. So any disrespect to them is disrespect to God. At the same time, one needs to disagree with them, on certain issues. But disagreement must also be without disrespect. This is the talent and the wisdom, we learn with time. It is difficult sometimes, to practice the ideals. But ideals are there to guide uby MB Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
