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.

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.
