Going further, I like to share an article by amritpal singh amrit, i beleive this article fits perfectly for this topic. After reading this article one can tell bhausaria mindset have been somewhat sucessful tampering gurbani back in early 1900's, if massive parchar is NOT done, bhasuaria mindset will take over the gurdwara's, in next 100 years instead of 1432- ikgonkar to das bees tak we will have half a size as guru sahib.

The attacks on infallibility of Gurbani

(Amrit Pal Singh 'Amrit')

The infallibility of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib cannot be challenged by a Sikh. Even an anti-Sikh, who pretends to be a Sikh, cannot openly say that the Sri Guru Granth Sahib is falliable/challengeable.

But, the anti-Sikh forces are more wicked. They would never say that the Sri Guru Granth Sahib is falliable. It could be harmful to their 'physical health', so they just avoid making such a comment. And also they know that their opinion will not be accepted by the masses.

So, they have the option. They would say that some anti-Sikh writings have been added into the Sri Guru Granth Sahib. Some of them would say that there are only twenty-seven stanzas in Sri Jap Ji Sahib, rest are added later. Some of them would say that the Bhagat Bani' is not the part of Sri Guru Granth Sahib, it is added by some 'anti-Sikh forces'. We find the people in many Sikh organizations, who believe that 'Ragmala' is not the part of Guru Granth Sahib; it is a poem by a poet named 'Alam'.

So, there became different copies of Sri Guru Granth Sahib for different kind of people. For example: -

'Panch Khalsa Diwan' believed that the Sri Guru Granth Sahib is infalliable, BUT 'the Bhagat Bani' is an anti-Sikh collection, which is against the 'Gurbani Di Kasauti'. Thus, the 'Panch Khalsa Diwan' believed the infallibility of Sri Guru Granth Sahib, but its Guru Granth Sahib was different.

A group of people believes that the Sri Guru Granth Sahib is infalliable, BUT the 'Ragmala' is a 'Kachchi Bani'. They think the 'Ragmala' is against the 'Gurbani Di Kasauti'. Thus, such people believe the infallibility of Sri Guru Granth Sahib, but its Guru Granth Sahib is different.

The 'Beerh' containing 'Adi Granth' and 'Dasam Granth' in a single volume was once installed during the 'Khalsa Diwans'. For those Sikhs, 'Sri Dasam Granth' was a part of 'Sri Guru Granth Sahib'. Thus, the 'Puraatan Singhs' believed the infallibility of Sri Guru Granth Sahib, but its Guru Granth Sahib is different.

The 'Pothi Sahib', the first 'Beerh' of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib is considered infalliable by the 'Dheermalis'. (They still exist). Thus, the 'Dheermalis' believe the infallibility of Sri Guru Granth Sahib, but its (Guru) Granth Sahib is different.

The main stream of the Sikhs believes in Sri Guru Granth Sahib as it is being published nowadays by the SGPC.

Before the first 'Beerh' written by Bhai Gurdas was installed in Sri Darbar Sahib, Harimandir Sahib, another 'Beerh' came into the existence. It is called 'Bhai Banno Wali Beerh'. Its copies still exist. These copies remained in use even after the creation of 'Khalsa Panth'. Those Sikhs believed that the hymns by Meera Baayee are the part of Sri Guru Granth Sahib. Thus, those Sikhs believed the infallibility of Sri Guru Granth Sahib, but its Guru Granth Sahib was different.

Thus, we can see that there are at least six versions of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib. The anti-Sikh forces make use of it. They cannot dare to challenge the infallibility of Sri Guru Granth Sahib directly, but they use their weapons of misguidance differently. They do not create distrust about the Sri Guru Granth Sahib; they create doubt about the historic copies of the Gurbani. Some people follow them and start to say that this or that part is not the Gurbani.

For a Sikh, the Gurbani is the Guru. So he, who turns away from the Gurbani, actually turns away from the Guru. Sri Guru Amardas Ji, the third Guru of the Sikhs, said about such people, "Je Ko Gur Te Vemukh Hovai, Bin Satgur Mukt Naa Paavai" [He, who turns away from the Guru (becomes vemukh), does not find liberation without the True Guru]. (Sri Guru Granth Sahib, page 920).

So far we ponder upon bhausaria mindset crept into sikhi, lets now ponder upon singh sabha movement also known as tat khalsa which also had imprints of similiar mindset as bhausaria and had a chain reaction effect(positve and negative) on panth.

Giani Ditt Singh who founded lahore singh sabha started with very good intention ie- want to ambolish caste system discrimation in the panth, remove hindu idols and curropt mahants who would rape girls, take sangat money. He started with great vision of panth chardi-kalah but as they say revolution without any guidance can cause harm, this is what exactly what happened in singh sabha movement during the course of removing all the manmat practises done by curropt mahants, they went to an extreme end and start outcasting- samparda's like udasi, sevapanthis, nirmale just because of few bad apples in them, they have totally overlooked samparda centuries long contributions to khalsa panth tracing back around guru's time, not only that they have started anti-sant propaganda among local sangat, most shocking of all during the course of "house cleaning" if you may allow me to use the word, they had stopped parkash of sri dasam granth sahib from Sri Akaal Takth Sahib because lack of understanding of composition charitropakhyan and other banis in sri dasam granth which they thought was hindu, if this wasnt enough they cleverly used women as their weapon, fully knowning that akaali nihang singhs who had control of the sri akaal takth sahib wouldnt never touch women, they sent army of singhani with chapla and forcefully kick jathedar of akali nihang singh , i forgot baba ji name along with other nihang singhs, this cheap tactic was really low from their part, if one wants to argue in rajnithi anything is fair, lets use that for argument sake, what about taking out sri dasam granth sahib from sri akaal tatkh sahib, what harm sri dasam granth sahib have given them if they kept it there, one can understand human being have fear from other human being whatever their reasoning might be or human being or set group of people having fear another set of group, but what fear sri dasam granth sahib gave these akaali? that they had to throw sri dasam granth bir from sri akaal takth sahib, right after this incident all theory that akaali backed by singh sabha movement/tat khalsa had british influence or bought by british - came in, proactive may call this conspiracy theories but this theory that british bought akaali to do target sri dasam granth, this does have some credibility- Here are my reasonings why:

1) Its known fact british have destroyed or captured many puratan birs of sri dasam granth sahib, you can find puratan birs of sri dasam granth in british libraires.

2. Its known fact british have destroyed sau sakhi of sri guru gobind singh where 10th master prophesied british empire fall.

3) Rigid protestant views of bhausaria mindset also shows that akaali backed by singh sabha/tat khalsa had imprints of victiorian influence eg- black and white thinking, extremely against polygamy, considering gyan in "charitropakhyan" as taboo as pornographic material, try to interpret gurbani via logical/rational/sceintific/metaphoric explanations.

connect all above three points together, i see the link between british and akaali who backed by singh sabha around that time. whether that link is an influence or malice link, that is up to the readers.

In conclusion, i beleive singh sabha movement started by very good intention but unfortunately because lack of guidance it went to an extreme end, overall did more damage to the panth then good as you can see major effects of bhausaria mindset is still alive in mainstream sikhs. If the movement didnt have british influence, this movement would have been very succesful back then as well now.

Personally, I think gurmukhs like Prof Puran Singh ji and Bhai Sahib Bhai Vir Singh ji do a great job at rebuking the bhausauria mindset...and at the same time able to live in such a balance that it's even hard to classify them as either bhausauria or sampardaaic....i definitely think there's a third group of thought...in which people like Prof puran singh ji, bhai vir singh ji, bhai jaswant singh ji, bhai sher singh ji....all great gurmukhs who have done great parchar with their lives...

i think every sikh who can read punjabi should be reading books such as guru nanak chamatkaar and guru kalgidhar chamatkar written by bhai vir singh ji...books in which he expands on what is written suraj parkash in a beautiful way...

also bhai sahib has written a book called Sant Gatha...in which he has chronicled the lives of various saints belonging to various sampardas...also a very inspiring read...

anyone that can't read punjabi should be reading Spirit Born People...it will inspire

even these steps...would go along way to stop the bhausaria mindset from spreading among the next generations...

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
