Autonomy of The Intellectualism

 

Conspiring with present never to be said Loyalty

This is a diaspora of the Sikh community, which was earlier claimed as Panth Khalsa. In the present era of times when the world is suffering through a pandemic time, we all over the world trying to dis and combat each other internally where the urgent priority claims need an healthy social environment. But due to various reasons and probably an imaginative suffix of I'm the rightly interpreter of time most of our wisemen had created too many troubles in our intellectual circle that might be havoc in our literature for near future. For the stake off from our community's barefoot, one can surely know about the group of some people in New Zealand nation, a beautiful country of Kiwi birds, claiming themselves one of the Sikh Diaspora Team Radio Virsa NZ sustained their values from the rational viewing in our community, lately since a couple of years they have been emerged as Anti-Sikh Belief or vice versa. Literally I have some doubts by listening to them with confine way, broad scenarios and carefully with the patient way I can't get any help by their views to stop thinking about their disloyalty with our community. Before proceeding further on the topic, let's check out their Vision Plan's article which has been taken from the official website of this radio station which is named as Radio Virsa NZ and Upgrade Tv channel on the Youtube namely Harnek Singh Newzealand. For the convenience of readers I'm referring and pasting their intro statement about their vision :-

Radio Virsa New Zealand or (Radio Virsa NZ) is a project of a group of New Zealand based Sikhs. Over time we have observed with increasing trepidation that in the name of virsa and virasat, creations of mediocre or even dubious artistic merit are being imposed on the Sikhs all over the world, and New Zealand is no exception.

We have noted that those who are being bombarded with such creations, appealing to the baser human instincts, tend to move away from Sikhi. It is our view that this is because of the fact that while Sikhi asks its followers to control (as opposed to being controlled by) Kam, Krodh, Lobh, Moh and Hankar, this post-1984 “virsa” overtly and brazenly advocates giving in to these baser human instincts. This is resulting in ever increasing distance between Sikh world view and the view propagated by what is being dished out in the name of “virsa”.

It is the aim of Radio Virsa to engage in an open and honest discussion of what is the virsa and what is the virasat of Sikhs. We will be engaging in this discussion from the vantage point of our core belief that as Sikhs our virsa and our virasat is bound by the principles of Gurbani and Gurbani alone. We do not accept as our Virsa any artistic creation (from any period including the post-modern period) that advocates a view contrary to the principles of Gurbani. This is the view that Radio Virsa’s programming will be guided by and we welcome constructive engagement about what we broadcast and what we refuse to broadcast.

Team Radio Virsa NZ

On the first sight with this preface our general thinking feel an imaginary highlighted portrait. But, according to mine view, this is a simple vision of ignorance. Sometimes our perceptions are too wider but the interpreting of slogans get shallow depth. I was wondered when in 2016 I get the chance to read this website and from here I got a pretty fine sources of our religious scripts especially The Sooraj Prakash Granth by the prominent sikh poet Bhai Santokh Singh ji, basically in the Sikh Belief they has been rewarded as Kavi Choorhamani, but still I prefer to stay normal in his praising factor. On that period I was deliberately studying Dasam Granth Sahib's script which is available at every website relating to Sikh Community,anyhow, the depth of script and its relevancy always needful of several interpretation behind the scene. I began following this Radio's main host Sardar Harnek Singh,on the Facebook platform. Personally as a student by heart, I was so curious about all the things happening around me for which I used to write poetic assemblage for various type of social visions, either it was a religious or it was cultural issue. For my belief, human is a multi-societal being who has so many responsibilities as well as duties to be kind to others and loyal to self. Following this basic principal I preferred to do study as well as refine belief system of our routine practice. Before 2016 I was a strict follower of Nitnem practice in our community,which said to be reciting holy five chapters of Gurbani during early morning like a saint appearance. At the evening time a regular enchanting gurbani of Rehraas Sahib as same further as Kirtan Sohilla before sleep. But the time has been changed and so I was as well. The changing within my belief was endorsed by Gurbani interpretation itself and I admit that my passion enhanced so highly as if anybody told me to keep afraid of community priest's obedience then my remark was totally blunt as who caring about them ? This sort of self confidence came through the experiencing enterprise for confrontation. Actually, we are roaming through a lot of explosion by the intellectualism. Before the period of emerging this radio station we had badly lack of our community media station who represent our community voice to the global media house sector, every sort of media station,even television channels run by Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee also remained a biased community channel which almost represented our religious activities. Hence I would like to conclude this beginning with the single thing that I'm preferring to focus on experience and spiritual basis of practice rather than the omnifarious philosophy of spiritualism. 

1. Why must I need to explain this topic in front of the Sikh Diaspora ?

- When you have an experience of exile then you never keep relax in your mind because in every theme of exilation communities definitely make the chance of endorse their cultural values which they have learned through long passage of subconscious mind. Inferiority level of a normal refugee is so much higher than a convict of death sentence person, in above concept of Radio Virsa's ideology this inferiority level touches high peak of its previewing. Harnek Singh and his companions are working on the molding of various interpretation, where some remarkable errors done by our intellectuals, by admitting some important facts I would like to note down two points:- 

•  Irresponsible approach by listeners - When we start listening someone then it is prime duty of own that how to be understand and react on particular speech or speaker. But unfortunately in late 1990's the section of so called rational minded Sikh community get emerged with Gurmat Gyan Missionary College, Jawaddi Kalan, Ludhiana which was not exactly a college but likewise a modernize gurukul they started teaching Elementary Course of Guru Granth Sahib's recitation,interpretation and discussion. On the moral ground of discussion, they confused with term of the Debate and meanwhile our general values got a message to their subconscious mind that debate and discussion are synonyms. They started debates within the college and outside in the Gurdwara's lecture sitting, for which we use term of Katha-Wyakhya, gradually process of sangat gathering got change, it was emerging like a debate field in the presence of Holy Guru Granth Sahib ji. Still groups kept some sense,some of times they have loss their control over emotions and tried to fight with different preachers, and I've no shame to admit this fact that orthodoxy confined its supremacy over rational mind and political polarization makes defect in three phases, (a.) Real Intellectuals got neglected by mainstream of Sikh community, (b.) The preachers became self made intellectuals which gave message to our psychic sphere as We are true thinkers and volunteer of Sikh Preaching. (c.) Our most prominent thinking module was changed into self supremacy over the community. Please keep this fact in mind that Sikh Preachers are our volunteers, they are neither said to be a good teacher nor they could be claim themselves as head of our community. But unfortunately our community accept all above faults as their best achievements due to that we lost our intellectual values which could be helpful in future's aspects. Our listeners either they are listening national media or community media, never tried themselves to filter out their relevancy of any statement. 
• Difficult sort of objections and faulty way of harassing - On the typical bad course of Radio Virsa's explanatory programming was undoubtedly neglectable but on this due course of opposing this section, all of the groups, general people and any type of preachers supporters made an imperialist demonstration that results into Ex-Communication of the Radio Virsa's host Sardar Harnek Singh, in 15th June, 2018. On the moral ground this decision has been a vast experiencing impact on mindset people of  community living in the West Diaspora as they feel it's false and furious propaganda by the anti-group of community. People who was relating themselves with the groups likewise Damdami Taksal & Akhand Kirtani Jatha, openly threatened him for assasination as well as typical cyber dragging on to his own and his companion's family through pictographic editing which disgraced his prestige. This was such a huge blunder of immoral abusing for which I am personally keep low sound for his attention. But let be think here, Is there anything suitable for a disgruntle to be recover up by splitting on their belief system ? Harnek Singh and his team started disguising their views about history, philosophy & gurbani phrases due to this proceeding, various type of reactions came out...till this moment Harnek Singh have his leading hand on neutral mindsets. But after this dis-spherical level of confrontation all of sudden he get down graph of his mental level. Before ex-communication there was a far wider opportunities to have some interrogation but they had big reasons to disrespecting the Head Priest of Akal Takhat Sahib, Amritsar. 
  

By viewing above mentioned two points general Sikh Youth will definitely get understand whether how much essential is to writing such messages which are opening discourse of the Diaspora. Actually if we are keeping rely on the narratives of Radio Virsa's team then we will definitely become unanswered on the table talk with intellectual level. What do you thinking about our history? Are the Sikhs really immoral, double standarded and undisciplined community ? Don't let the topic on dragging aspect of Harnek Singh's examplary referrances about the management committee of various Gurdwara in New Zealand, because Harnek Singh never ever focused on those people's lifestyle but always keep attacking on ancestral history of our Punjabi community. Although on the significant account of this sections's narration, most of cultural practices in our sikh families are revising only on the Punjabi ancient tribal riuals. Now this is a great drawback of our discussion when every bad rites or those practices which are referring to our tribal anarchic preview, why do we repeatedly claiming these as Sikh Community's bad rituals? Impartially this is totally silly argument to say that most of counting in Sikh population enjoying all of the benefits in this due course therefore we will target them, this is just a stupidity whichever done and joyfully described on the Radio Virsa's media station. 

2. What is Geo-Political Preview in the present scenario?

- Actually we as a community, totally distracted from the course of classroom which was termed as Sangat, so due to this way our most of practices as I say earlier, just debate lectures are performing but nowhere doing discussion about anything either about any politics or about any social aspect. Hence the community in the European Countries as well as American-Canadian population where most of Sikh population reached as refugees or black listed Sikhs, they haven't kept moral liability of proper navigation of future leadership as well as preparation of emotional backup in the community that's why when anarchism devastated Sikh Diaspora, then some of the thinkers made attempt via Sikh Preachers help, I am telling here to you about the period of 1998-2020, in which process we spent a lot of wealth, time and attention just for the sake of Sikh Spiritualism's legitimacy. Our rivals either it's said to be Indian Secret Agencies or the International Media House which is directly referred their theories with C.I.A. in Washington D.C. our matter of 1984's Operation Blue Star & Sikh Genocide has been taken a long period to get a proper place of recognization, but till now this case is pending for a healthy discussion course of its investigation and the reasons as well as causes of this entire episode which has been continued by Indian Parliament using different acts as well as various restrictions too well. Our sikh preachers never preformed any good role in Gurdwara's of Sikh Diaspora while they has been paid and nourishing a handsome cost for this task. 

All of sudden table has been changed, one little group of the Sikh Diaspora, new  emergence of the debate in Radio Virsa NZ about Sikh Genocide of 1984, Harnek Singh's clear statement as this havoc tragedy happened just a result of Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwala's irresponsible statements or it's Congress oriented acts in Punjab, we all get shocked on Harnek Singh's outbreaking avtar. Now one thing readers must have to understand that I am not starting any debate with anyone, even on this matter our high class intellectuals pretty well nourished this section to carry up false statements as well as providing him every single anti-sikh fact which fulfiling Government of India's entire agenda of defaming, disgracing that important era of our community's history. In such case I don't feel that any person who claiming himself a part of Gurdwara System and doing double checking possession, should be welcome for any discussion with me. I don't care how much toll of our community is listening, abiding and endorsing to him but they must have understand that I will alone sufficient to confront their all think tank with my writings and future occasions of open debates. My recent blogging about these people is only a beginning of my next level as earlier I was focused on the total perspective of 2020 referendum. Now keep eye on the following points sharply:-

• Is the Sikh belief contemporize of Pop-culture of Catholic Church or it is something different from Sectarian Law ? One God (EKO alias ੴ) of Prime Symbol of Sikh Narration has been interpreted in various ways as some of our preachers copied from Sanatan section's interpretation which referred to multi-god perception on the other hand some of preachers compared this term with Alhum-dul-illah of Islamic Philosophy, and modern Sikh Section has been far impressed from Catholic Philosophy and making their narrow minded scope of vision as entire Gurmat vision. As due to Harnek Singh's present stand on Sikh Philosophy is so confusing (although I believe this is just air shots by Upgrade Tv team,but still, having some respect of their vision I'm keeping mum on this ) people distracted from their way because one side he is playing card of victimization in politics of groupism as well as he sharply target entire Sikh history by using name of forged scriptures removal. I don't aware whether new generation of our community have some serious awareness on the looting treasury of Sikh Reference Library in The Operation Blue Star by the govt of India having remarkable loss of many internal issues including this one,which has been enhanced by Missionary Groups and continuing with this Gurdwara Singh Sabha, Shirley Road, Papatoetoe city, Auckland based group. In this article or likewise some of articles can never describe this entire issue so I am urging to all readers for taking some breathe and try to study our history books with proper language knowledge. But one thing is crystal clear that six schools of Indian Philosophy never being part of our Philosophy but we needing much sharp knowledge because every community pretending themselves as well modernize philosopy. I think Sardar Harnek Singh probably might a single piece according to whom Sikh Philosophy is an over-rated scripture. Be careful I'm still saying that keep eye with self analysis as I am also very poor reader of history, but still I don't anything difficult to understand that these guys are conspiring forged speeches. 
• On the public forum what else remaining for us to say Sikh Philosophy is an independent, sovereign & fundamental Philosophy which has been prepared for the relevance of mankind- Sometimes frustrated mind claims that these guys are Idiot but I prefer to keep pity on Team Radio Virsa NZ because they has been facing ignorance of community, society as well as future possibilities too well. They have only wealthy life for which they are overwhelming, rather than this, every emotional feeding by nature closed their doors. Honestly, this is mine feeling that a person with good personality and handsome voice has been exploited by his confused Multiple-Personality Disorder as well as his Narcissistic perception, we can't help him to save himself from all this chaotic condition. Even whomsoever feel that this Radio host must be save from unwanted trauma or mental attack they should take care of him and give him support to visit India and have a handsome time at different Sikh Historical place so that he can get some relax spiritually. In future kids also need to remain realistic rather than remaining mystic like Harnek Singh otherwise a simple thing is that A Mad person which having mental problems can never say God appearing more,he will be totally staunch atheist and here same thing is representing by this section, choice is yours, I am not intervening in your affairs. Moreover I am seriously feel sorry from our community's behaviour which is seriously too much harassing for anybody, even I think if I could be there then I might be do suicide rather than spitting or abusing our historical references, personalities or every important person of Sikh History. With streaming further to it, he having too much frustration for normal Sikh person and he strictly stopped impartial approach on anything. I am afraid that how could he react on near future when current scenario of Farmer Agitation going on, but anyhow, please take it as much serious issue that don't try to disturb him, stop questioning him and even stop answering about his this and that type of questioning. 

 I am clearly believe that every problem has some sufficient solution but Narcissistic Personality can't allow you to get rid of problem, they would rather try to stain you than move on with healthy approach. Personally I am also having different approach and almost against the current Sikh society's practices but still stay humble and keep patience for study level is much important rather than being a tail of some famous faces. Lust of luxury is proper problem of such type of mentality and yes one thing you can understand from following points- 

• Khalsa Panth- On the geophysics ground decribing so many strategies of world politics on which place if we deeply watch the term "Raaj Karega Khalsa Aaki Rahe Na Koe" that has been hiding too many scope of integral society. We, the Sikhs, are soldiers of such a precious philosophy which needs study syllabus and healthy social equality,for this aim,anyone try to distract or divide our social gathering that must be eliminate through every peaceful way and keep progressive focus on study, writing and organize healthy occasion at every level in the world. One thing we must have straight forward now that all level of groups must be dissolve and make an attempt of nourishing Sikh Society with shifting it into Khalsa Panth which includes all over the world and Sikh Diaspora will easily get relate to Floating State Vision. (This terminology will explain in near future with proper detailed articles)
• Institutional Building- Historical buildings, places and then historical personalities have their own value system which can't explain on the basis of legitimacy but it will remarkable as hard belief. Dharamshala, Dehura, Guru Ka Chakk, Bungas, Takhat, Forts...these are our increasing level of institutional building which needs our more powerful attempt to regain all aspects of sovereignty. Derawaad was our first drawback in our community and currently Parmeshar Dwar Trust will be a next level of this institution. Keep in mind, Don't mix Harnek Singh's appearance or its view on our institutional level, either could be manage by Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee or it might run by other way, that will be far better than any Dera or section which leads our community to limit up their all aspects. Probably this is the major cause, whether Team Radio Virsa NZ opposing Dharam Yudh Morcha and all fight by All India Sikh Student Federation and Akali Morcha, moreover listeners have remembers that Harnek Singh's inferiority level is so higher that he avoid to face public face at every level, his frustration level teaching us deep lesson that Mental Health must be our priority for any level in our lifestyle. 

Conclusively, I would say in brief and exact words that, "Impartial Media Station has been still Zero in our community, we youngsters have still challenge to listen read study different resources of history and analysis making approach should be sharpen for us." I hope readers must reconsider all details of this issue and make study as prime work for Sikh Lifestyle and leading to Sikh Culture with our nation building aspect. This will be said as truly Autonomy of the intellectualism, which leads us into independent character of Sikhism.

 

Thanks for reading this article, I will back for continuous discussion of Sikh Culture,and I am sure, this Radio Virsa NZ will not deserve more place in our discussions especially for Sikh Diaspora.
