One can see that Akali Nihang Guru Gobind Singh’s questions
are extremely complex and varied. It is amazing when we have
these questions set by the Guru himself that no
Sikh institution gives any importance to these questions in
their curriculum.

Sadly much
of the Guru's works have today been neglected and even insulted
by many mainstream Sikhs
These questions should form the highest point in any Sikh
institutions curriculum. Nihang Niddar Singh has himself personally
wrestled with these questions for the past many years. By
attempting to answer and answering these questions it is as
if one spiritually exercising their inner self and becomes
stronger and stronger. Nihang Niddar Singh wishes to thank
his Sanatan Sikh Shastar Vidiya Gurdev, Akali Nihang Baba
Mohinder Singh (alias Baba Katapa Singh) for introducing the
magic of these questions to him. They force an individual
to delve deep into his/her true self the Atma and thus realize
Sat Guru.
Sikhs should not be backwards in their thinking, nor should
they fear asking awkward questions with regards to themselves
and there faith. Like all true men/women of God, they should
embrace the truth in whatever form or shape
it reveals itself. If that means on re-evaluation, one has
to forsake one's previously held beliefs, however so sacred
they were once, then so be it. He/she who is afraid
of the truth cannot be a Gumukh (a devotee
of the eternal truth Sat Guru).
‘Gurmukhs do not cling to
falsehood, absorbed in truth they cling to truth.
A Sakt [unbeliever] to truth does not cling, the false
remain attached to falsehood.
One absorbed in truth alone merges with the eternal truth
[attains salvation].’
(‘Adi Guru Durbar’, Siri Raag, Pa.22)
The truths, with regards to Sanatan Sikhism expounded within
our websites, books, Akhara (training centers), teachings
and seminars are revealing, are intended to rock the
very foundations of modern Sikhism. If these foundations
are strong then the institutions will not only remain standing,
but, be all the stronger for it.
If the foundations are weak then these institutions deserve
to fall. The Institute of Sikh Martial Heritage
does all this for the best of reasons to invigorate modern
Sikhism and shake of its lethargy. We stress here that we
ourselves do not claim to be Gurus or Brahmgianis
who know all. All we do is open to any form of objective scrutiny.
We are but Sikhs like many other Sikhs seeking Sat Guru. What
skill or knowledge we have acquired on our never ending spiritual
quest we now through various mediums are trying to share
with all we can. For Akali Nihang Guru Gobind Singh has said:
‘Do not sit alone and eat [fruits of spiritual
truth].
Share with others.’
(Khalsa Rehitnaama)
If on this Justjoo (eternal journey to seek
knowledge) we ourselves are forced to re-evaluate our previous
stance, then we will gladly do so.
We implore all our detractors out there,
who are accusing us of being R.S.S. (a right-wing
political Hindu bigots/Hindu version of Sikh Akhand
Kirtani Jatha), worshipers of Hindu deities,
egoists, practitioners of the black arts, Indian government
spies, Sikh enemies within etc. to present actual
concrete evidence to defunct the Sanatan Sikh arguments
we are making otherwise stay silent and do not embarrass your
self by revealing truly how ignorant you
are.
It has to remembered any fool can rave rant
and have opinions, however, respectable men/women of wisdom
present coherent counter-arguments to what they perceive as
wrong. These men/women of wisdom will also back their comments
with appropriate logical, reasonable and factual scriptural,
historical, scientific etc. evidence.
So facts, and do not threaten, or throw hollow accusations
towards us, for that is not the Guru's Khalsa way.
