Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa.
Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.

Guru Payare Singh Sahib Ji,

My name is Varinder Singh. I live in New Zealand. Today I had heaps of free time on my job.

I love the 'Bana' Of Nihang Singhs because I heard it is the 'Bana' of Sahib Shri Guru Gobind Singh ji. Due to this love of 'Bana' I was surfing internet and I visited the page where you have mentioned "BHANG".

Singh Sahib! 6 months ago my name was Varinder Kumar. I was from Radha Soami family, but when I saw the history of Sikhisim and when I read Guru Granth Sahib Ji and when I started to do Nitnet, I got answer of my each and every question.

I realised that what the hell Radha Soami Baba is doing. He calls himself a Guru and every one over there says, 'where its writen in Guru Granth sahib that Guru Maneo Granth?'

But I got the answer to that question....... Guru Sahib clearly wrote it,

"BANI GURU, GURU HAI BANI, VICH BANI AMRIT SARE"
And also "VAHO VAHO BANI NIRANKAR HAI"
So I don't know, why don't they explain these lines of Gurbani to people????

And when I saw the article that you have written under the title of "BHANG" under this link http://www.amritworld.com/bhang.html I was shocked because Guru Sahib did not put any difference between man or woman, boy or girl, Singh or Singhni and also between Simple Singh and NIHANG SINGH....

I don't know how come these sorts of people don't live their life according to Gurbani. They have BANA only but they don't have Jeevan.

Every Sikh has main three things 1) Bani 2)Bana 3)Jeevan

I 110% agree with you on these lines you wrote in the end

"It is obvious from arguments given by Singh Sahib Bhai Joginder Singh Ji that he used the terms 'Bhang' and 'Sukhnidhaan' as synonymous with each other. Being the head priest of Takht Sahib Ji, he must have read these lines of the Gurbani: -

Kabeer Bhaang Maachhulee Sura Paan Jo Jo praanee Khaanhe. Teerath Barat Nem Keeye Te Sabhai Rasaatal Jaanhe. 233. (Kabeer, those mortals who consume marijuana, fish and wine; - Pilgrimages, fasts and rituals they followed will all go to hell. 233.) (Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, page 1377).

I do not know why Singh Sahib Ji did not consider it necessary to mention these lines when he was discussing such an important topic. "

I was so happy when I saw this.

You know Singh Sahib these sorts of people are polluting SIKHI.

Up to what extent Guru Sahib gave me knowledge in past 6 months, according to that I think if some one have "NASHA OF NAAM SIMRAN" or some one is getting "NASHA FROM NAAM SIMRAN" then they don't need any "NASHA OF BHANG AT ALL"
Before taking Amrit I talked to several people from different religions and the précised way that is given to us by Gurus, I don't think some one has that sort of.

Singh Sahib in New Zealand I have seen few NIHANG SINGHs and they have every thing Bani, BANA and Jeevan as well.

I am really thankful to AKAL PURAKH that I got Sikhi in New Zealand not in Punjab because I saw the Jeevan of those Nihang Singhs in NZ and automatically I started to love Nihang Bana, because they are very kind. They don't take NASHA OF BAHNG. They do NAAM SIMRAN when ever they get time for that and I think that is the main thing and I think this is way How NIHANG SINGH should be.............


Singh Sahib if I have said some thing wrong then I am very sorry, but when I saw the last line of your artical it fill up me with happiness.

Changa Ji Singh Sahib
