AMRITSAR: Radha Soami Satsang Dera Beas chief Baba Gurinder Singh visit to Golden Temple on Wednesday has sparked a new controversy. According to reports, Baba Gurinder Singh arrived at Golden Temple in the morning like a humble Sikh and paid obeisance. He reportedly remained in the sanctum sanctorum for half an hour and also received siropa besides paying obeisance at Akal Takht.

Commenting on his visit to Golden Temple, Akal Takht jathedar Giani Gurbachan Singh said, "His visit proves that he is not a guru, but the real guru is Guru Granth Sahib." He said a Sikh could never proclaim to be a guru and advised Baba Gurinder Singh to propagate Shabad Guru. Chief of dera Beas, who enjoys Z plus security, was reportedly accompanied by three persons, including his security chief Sarabjit Singh Bedi and former superintendent of police Paramdeep Singh Teja.

Earlier, Giani Gurbachan Singh had given clean chit to Dera Beas in case of alleged demolition of a Gurdwara at Waraich village despite severe opposition by various Sikh organizations that even gave a call to boycott the Akal Takht jathedar.

Surprisingly, Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee officials expressed ignorance about Dera chief's visit to Golden Temple.

Dal Khalsa spokesperson Kanwarpal Singh said, "Beas dera chief's bowing before Guru Granth Sahib could be construed as a positive signal." However, he said, it was yet to be seen if he discards the practice of proclaiming himself as living guru and accepts Guru Granth Sahib as his eternal guru or not. "There are so many ifs and buts and unanswered questions yet," he said.

Sources said Baba Gurinder Singh paid obeisance at Golden Temple to earn goodwill and improve his image among Sikhs as a large number of them are followers of Beas dera.

Its about time some of us opened our eyes. These is all being done for the votebank, the RSB could make or break the Akali Dal at the next elections. They already have the likes of Dhumma on side. It makes sense to get the RSB baba into the Akali bed as well. Big Badal wants to do all that is possible to make sure Junior Badal is CM after the next state elections, to do this they need as many pro Badal chamchey on their side..

They did the same with the Sirsa pakhandi and when he backed congress they used the media to tell us that the fat bloke from sirsa wearing a pink dress was trying to act like Guru Gobind Singh Ji. Sadly many of us fell for the Akali propaganda. Yes he is a pakhandi but they tarnished the image of Guru Ji by comparing the two and alluding to Guru Ji as having worn pink dresses.
