A Shradhanjali Samaroh
for Satguru Jagjit Singh Ji was held today at Sri Jiwan Nagar, Distt Sirsa,
Haryana, where Namdhari Sangat from across the country as well as from
around the globe gathered in thousands to pay their obeisance to their departed
Guru. This Shradhanjali Samaroh was prompted by the fact that Bebe
Ji, Thakur Dalip Singh Ji, his family and Namdhari Sangat in
thousands were denied the right of Antim Darshan of their Guru at the
funeral held at Sri Bhaini Sahib near Ludhiana on 14th of December 2012.
[Bebe Ji
is widow of Maharaja Bir Singh Ji. Late Maharaj Bir Singh was the younger son
of Satguru Pratap Singh Ji & the younger brother of Satguru Jagjit Singh Ji.
Thakur Dalip Singh is elder brother of Thakur Uday Singh, both Dalip and Uday
are sons of Late Maharaj Bir Singh ji]
The despicable attitude
of the Parbandhaks at Sri Bhaini Sahib in the manner they
addressed the Namdhari Sangat during the last week of Satguru
Ji’s illness and the denial of the last Darshans of their Guru before
the funeral raised tempers amongst all that had been waiting for days at the
gates of the Namdhari Appolo hospital Ludhiana and later at Sri Bhaini Sahib.
The international Sangat had travelled miles to pay their respects to
their Guru but unfortunately the Parbandhaks forgoing the
responsibilities of a Gurudwara towards the Sangat decided to complete
the antim saskar in haste without giving sufficient time to all in
transit to reach the Gurdwara at Sri Bhain Sahib.
Sri Bhaini Sahib is the
headquarters of the Namdharis, and the most revered Gurdwara for all
Namdharis. Every member of the Sangat is entitled by the Guru to come to
the Gurdwara at any time to seek blessings. The barricading of the Gurdwara
with the help of police force that seemed to exceed the Sangat in numbers
during the funeral destroyed the sanctity of the shrine and raised questions on
the motives of the ‘Parbandhaks’. The last rites of the Guru being
completed in such short notice and the denial to the Sangat to do Antim
Darshan of the Guru, raises doubts and seeks answers to these dubious
questions.
Thakur Dalip Singh Ji to
whom Satguru Ji was not just a spiritual leader but his mentor, guide and foremost
‘A Father’, was denied Darshan during his illness at Sri Bhaini Sahib
and at the SPS Apollo hospital. The reasons for this embargo on Thakur Dalip
Singh’s family by the Parbandhaks are still unknown. It is alleged that
in addition, to enforce this embargo, they asked the Superintendent of Police
Ludhiana to assist them in implementing the same, who in turn sent an order
instructing Thakur Ji to leave Ludhiana as his presence in the city could cause
unrest.
Repeated attempts over
the last few years by Thakur Dalip Singh & the Sangat to reconcile
the matter in the better interest of the Sangat and the Panth
have been rejected by Bhaini Sahib Parbandhaks, specifically a handful
of individuals, and without any reasonable explanation. Many a time they have
said ‘There have been many divisions in several Panths in the past,
including the Namdhari Panth, a few more would not matter’ leaving no
room for reconciliation. This leaves no doubt that their intention is more in
their own interest than that of the Sangat and hence against the very spiritual
intent and existence of a Gurudwara. Thakur Dalip Singh and the Sangat were
still pursuing towards a ‘collaborative approach’ for the Bhog of Sri Satguru
Ji, whose demise has been a huge setback to the panth and left many in grief.
But the absolute refusal from their (Bhaini Sahib) end to even consider
allowing Bebe ji, Thakur Ji and many others from the Namdhari Sangat
to enter the premises of the Gurudwara, which has been turned into a fort with
more police force than has ever been at any religious shrine for such an
occasion. This prompted the Sangat to come together at Sri Jiwan Nagar for the Shradhanjali
Samroh today in an atmosphere apt for the occasion with all members of the panth.
The Sangat along with Thakur Dalip Singh Ji made multiple attempts to
invite Mata Chand Kaur Ji to the Shradhanjali Samaroh at Jiwan Nagar as
the Guru Mata of the Sangat, but none were accepted.
Today Sangat has
gathered here from around the world- USA, Canada, UK, Europe, Thailand, Dubai
as well from several areas of India such as Ludhiana, Amritsar, Jalandhar, Tarn
Tarn, Mukerian, Dera Baba Nanak, Pathankot, Chandigarh, Mohali, Yamuna Nagar,
Sirsa, Hisar, Karnal, Delhi Panipat, Mandi Saket and SunderNagar (HP), Bazpur,
Kanpur, Gwalior, Jaipur, Sri Ganga Nagar, Malout, Himmatpura to name a few, in
an earnest attempt to request Thakur Dalip Singh Ji to take care of the Sangat
after the demise of Satguru Ji and be their spiritual leader and lead this Panth
towards a more. This is an excerpt of what has been said from the dais as well
as told by different devotees, including some of the Soobaa’s of Panth
present at the congregation to SirsaNews.
