Concept of the word Bhagauti in Ardas


Recommended Posts

It is disturbing that a Gurdwara in Fresno is modified the Ardas by removing the word Bhagauti. Are they totally unaware of 20th century Sikh history (esp. with respect to Bhagauti), and think that only with the coming of Ragi Darshan Singh did Sikhs understand their religion?

What is heartening, though, is that it was an office-holder in the "Khalis Foundation" that is refuting all this anti-Dasam Granth Sahib nonsense:

Quote

Prabhdev Singh has Engineering and IT degrees and is overseeing several Khalis Foundation projects.  He currently supervises the media and outreach division of Khalis Foundation.  He is currently working for an IT company as a product manager and apart from this, he is also a founder and director of the West Coast Sikhi Camp.

Usually officers of these types of Sikh foundations are the first to latch on to some sort of anti-Sikh theory or another. Also, when someone has a high position in business, they also nurture anti-Sikh thoughts in their heads. Heartening to see that this Sikh has his head screwed on straight.

It shows some of our people don't really understand wat our guru said.

Bhagauti / Bhagwati is worshipped as goddess among hindus but guru explained real meaning behind hindu gods

Bhagauti means shakti of waheguru. Both the destructive and constructive force of ParBrahm is called Bhagauti. It is also called by names like chandi, durga, kaali, etc. Its an aspect of god only. It is shown as feminine aspect of Brahm (god) 

Shiva means consciousness. Its subtle. 

Its considered male aspect of brahm. 

 

Btw Hindu vidwaan and Sikh vidwaan both agreed on this. Actually shiva and shakti are one only. 

There's only one god but with multiple aspects. 

And here in lies key difference between Hindus and Sikhs. Sikhs worship god as absolute, as one. Hindus worship independent facets of god as mahesh ganesh vishnu durga etc

Nice explanation here http://www.yogamag.net/archives/1991/bmar91/twins.shtml

Don't substitute truth for garbage.  Shiva is the created so is shakti.  Shiva was begging at the Sikh Guru's feet for mukhti. Your link is garbage, calls shiva unmanifested......what a joke.  If you consider yourself a Sikh, why do you go begging at illiterate people doors.  What is wrong with you?  The true Guru is there for you to understand and you don't need to go anywhere else.  These type of Sikhs love getting slapped around by dhoti wearing pakhandis.

That's the main issue though, Guru Sahib already explained that these entities aren't god, or even a small portion of God. God is beyond all of them, they're bound by death and Maya. Just like the rest of us. The issue arises that true Bhagats left all these demigods behind.

look, some "sikhs" don't understand nirguna/sarguna concept of Waheguru Akaal. They are stuck in gora/firanghi understanding of God, which has damaged sikh panth and sikh literature and teaching since colonial times. All this paranoia to heritage and cultural terms used for nirguna and sarguna roop stems from those times.

    • 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.
