Sikh Intellectuals expressed their views on the Relevance of Guru Granth Sahib Ji confining to all Faiths!

In a seminar organized by ‘Sarab Sanjha Vichar Manch’ in Punjab Press Club, Sikh intellectuals expressed their views on the relevance of philosophy of Guru Granth Sahib Jee for humanity on a global level; stating that the Guru Granth Sahib Jee inspired humanity to bring model way of life into practice and it was wrong to consider its philosophy being limited to Sikhs only.

Dr. Sawraj Singh said that the teachings of Guru Granth Sahib Jee spread light to all the people on the earth. “It is matter of concern that we could not present the worldly philosophy which promotes feeling of ‘Sarbat Da Bhala’ (Well being of Mankind), before the people of the world. Today, we are recognized as Sikhs in the world, not as philosophy”, he said.

He challenged the Sikh intellectuals to present teachings and philosophy of Guru Granth Sahib Jee before an international community for settling down the world crisis and suggest them a new direction to be followed.

Dr. Iqbal Singh Dhillon said that nobody could deny universality of Guru Granth Sahib Jee, but if we present it as Sikh philosophy, it would be difficult to be followed by others.

Dr. Kulbir Kaur said that Punjab gave the best response to the revolutionary practice at first, which is now decreasing tremendously. Veteran journalist Dalbir Singh said that Brahmanism is dominating in the Sikh society and there is dire need to free Sikhs from this dominance.

On the occasion, renowned Sikh thinker and former ‘Des Punjab’ editor Gurbachan Singh’s new book ‘Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Ghadri Babe and Nastik Communist’ was released by the intellectuals. Prof. Jagir Singh Kahlon, Khalsa Mission Organization leader Harmandeep Singh Sarhali, Satnam Chana and Mohan Singh Sehgal were all present at this event.
