Another Golden Temple in Punjab

June 9th, 2009 Source: www.zopag.com

New Delhi, June 6: Want to visit Golden Temple? No, Amritsar is not the only destination if the designs of Baba Balwant Singh Sirhore gets successful.

It's indeed surprising that at Mast Vane in Punjab's Malwa district, construction of an exact replica of Golden Temple is going on in full swing and almost 80 pc of the work is done.

In a clear cut agenda of igniting passion and hurting religious sentiments, the construction has been going on for the last two years. Six months earlier, Shiromani Gurudwara Prabhandak Committee (SGPC) has ordered to stop the construction.

In order to cash in on Golden Temple fame, SGPC's orders were ignored and the construction is very much on.

Shiromani Gurudwara Prabhandak Committee (SGPC) Chief Avtar Singh Makkar was obviously upset with the proposed plan of constructing a replica of the Golden Temple.

Talking exclusively to zopag.com, Avtar Singh Makkar said, Copying is bad. It should not be done. Constructing anything equivalent to Darbar Saheb is nothing but bad?.

We oppose the plan of Golden Temple replica. We will investigate the matter, he added.

Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal), Delhi unit chief Manjit Singh totally disapproved of the construction.

Manjit Singh said, "Religious sentiments are associated with it. It should not be done. And by the way, if you are investing so much money, then why go for a replica. Construct something original."

Manji Singh expressed fears that the construction of a replica of Golden Temple will only start an agitation in Punjab. He cited the controversy created by Ram-Rahim sometime back when they dressed up like Guru Govind Singh Ji.

The construction will pose a serious threat to Punjab's law and order and peace and prosperity. Some unwanted elements are always up to such plans to ignite passions and to gain cheap popularity. If things like these go unchecked, then we will have many Patna Sahebs and Huzoor Sahebs. The Golden Temple is culturally the most significant place of worship of the Sikhs and one of the oldest Sikh gurdwaras. It was established by Guru Ram Das Ji, the fourth guru of the Sikhs, and is, also due to the shrine, known as Guru Di Nagri meaning city of the Guru.

The Darbar Sahib is considered holy and beautiful by Sikhs because the eternal Guru of Sikhism, the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is present inside in it. The temple is surrounded by a large Sarovar (manmade lake), known as the AmritSar (Lake of Holy Water or Immortal Nectar).

for god's sake

dear mr. romesh kumar and mr.satnam anand pls dont make sikhnet another portal which is all filled up with these sikh,anti skih, hindu, anti-hindu comments and posts. mr.romesh we sikhs are a very important part of india and nobody can deny that fact. we have been and will always be faithfull to our motherland, but dont force your thinking on us, we've got brains and v can use them very well. we know wht's better for us and wht's not. dont interfere in our internal matters. dear veer satnam anand, there are no bosses in this country let nebody say nething about sikhi u and me both know that it's not going to affect sikhi in any way.

pal

Thanks for your concern and comments though not fully unbiased. This is more than a truth or a fact that sikhs have been second to none among Indian communities in patriotism and positive contribution. In fact, it is not nonsikh but sikh identity which represents India and Indians. But I do hope that you will unbiasedly agree with me that there are also bad elements among them to the extent of being anti-national as we have in other communities. I am not forcing my thinking on anyone. This is public forum and every individual is entitled to an opinion, arguement and counter-arguement. As of "internal matter", we will have to be specific on it. Sikh internal matters mean sikh religious, code of conduct and conventions, way of worshipping, religious belief etc etc related matters. All matters outside this frame are socio-political matters of everyone's concern as sikhs are part and partial of Punjabi and Indian society. Either you already know or you should know that there are lakhs of nonsikhs who follow sikhism as their way of worship as I do. 50% of my relatives in our family are sikhs. Any problem on part of one directly affects and concerns others. A big question mark arises here if some sikh/s are allergic to non-sikh name/person and trying to vent their own frustrations by calling names and branding others as GOI agent/RSS agent/anti-sikh or so. Same SICK and SADISTIC characters are going to the extent of deriving sadistic pleasure out of fate of female victims (who are ancestors of both hindus and sikhs of India) in the hands of mughals. These characters are disgrace to India,Punjab,sikhs and sikhism. I fully agree that this forum should be used for healthy, educative, informative and meaningful discussions. If a non-sikh ignorantly or out of curiousity or anxiety says something which is not inline with sikh belief or traditions could be corrected in a humble and informative way.

Shaming Indian Parliment.And so called sikh pm.

NEW DELHI: Shaming Indian parliament, the country's rulers and its policies vis-à-vis the Sikhs right inside the Parliament of the nation, Independent Rajya Sabha Sikh MP Tarlochan Singh, the former chairman of National Commission for Minorities in India, asked why were gallantry awards given to Indian Army officers after Operation Bluestar. "They were given because they had killed Sikhs," Tarlochan Singh said, his voice aggressive and his tone angry, as Defence Minister A K Antony took notes. Tarlochan Singh, who earlier said when Indians at large were celebrating their new UPA government under a Sikh Prime Minister, "We, the Sikhs, are observing the 25th anniversary of Operation Bluestar." Tarlochan told the Defence Minister and the government of PM Manmohan Singh to withdraw these gallantary awards and tell the Army officers that it was no gallantary to kill one's own countrymen. "Those Army officers who attacked and demolished GT and Akal Takht were given gallantary awards. It is shameful on the part of the government that within India, for attack on its own people, the government...gave them gallantry award." "What for? They (had) captured Pakistan? (Had) They captured China? They (had) killed Sikhs, that is why you gave them gallantry awards. I propose that these gallantry awards be withdrawn, the officers be told that this was no gallantry." “Gallantry awards are given to the soldiers for fighting the enemy and not attacking your own people.” He said A K Antony was a good man and "we have known you as a good CM of Kerala. Now I request that you re-open the file and withdraw these awards." Tarlochan Singh's impassioned speech was all the more appreciated by the Sikh community and all right thinking people in India because there was no pressure on him to even refer to Operation Bluestar. But he was unsparing in his choice of words and while not a single MP from the ruling Akali Dal, including the much hyped newly elected Harsimrat Kaur, even referred to a single Sikh issue, Tarlochan Singh went hammer and tongs and chided the government about its claims of having a Sikh Prime Minister. "It is good that there is a Sikh Prime Minister, but this should not mean that Sikh issues will not be raised now," he said. WSN readers can watch Tarlochan Singh's speech on the WSN website by clicking on the video gallery. "The Sikhs have carried out protests in every city (to mark Operation Bluestar's anniversary). There is no city in this world where the Sikhs have not demonstrated. There is no town where the people have not been told what the army of India did to the Sikhs. Aap ne Golden Temple torra, Akal Takht torra, aur paanch hazaar Sikh ek raat ko maare gaye, but no one from the government has ever mourned." "I propose that a resolution be moved in both Houses of Parliament and Operation Bluestar be condemned....All over India, about 10,000 Sikhs were killed in 1984 riots (genocide). Nothing has been done," Tarlochan Singh added, and asked the government to look after the welfare of the victims of the massacre. He also slammed the government for not bringing about the Anand Marriage Act despite a recommendation by a Parliamentary Committee and a promise by the then Law Minister on the floor of the House. "We are very happy there is a Sikh Prime Minister, but the Sikh issues should also be dealt with. Not that there is a Sikh prime Minister and no Sikh issue is taken up," Tarlochan Singh concluded his address. He was speaking in the Rajya Sabha on the Motion of Thanks to the Presidential address. Tarlochan Singh criticised the government for not taking up the issue of jaziya imposed on Sikhs in Pakistan and said thousands of Sikhs had been ousted from their homes and were living like refugees in gurdwaras. “The Indian government has neither sent them any aid nor taken up the issue with the Pakistan government.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnVFHJ7Z9o0

Golden Temple

Golden Temple Lookalike Mastuana gurdwara faction convenes meeting Varinder Walia Tribune News Service Mann objects to Gill’s visit SANGRUR: Criticising the visit of former DGP KPS Gill to Mastuana Sahib, president of the SAD (Amritsar) Simranjit Singh Mann on Thursday termed it as “suspicious” and not in the interest of peace. Gill had visited Mastuana Sahib on Wednesday to pay obeisance at Gurdwara Gursagar there. Amritsar, June 26 The Sikh high priests find themselves in tight spot as a faction of Gurdwara Sachkhand Angitha Sahib, Mastuana, led by Mahant Sadhu Singh, has convened a meeting at Mastuana on June 28 in gross violation of the directive issued by the Jathedar of Akal Takht after holding a Sikh conclave on June 20. However, the leaders of three factions of the Mastuana gurdwara met the Jathedar, Giani Gurbachan Singh, here today to submit their respective undertakings that they are “dedicated” to Akal Takht and, hence, abide by its directives. Meanwhile, the representatives of the three factions dissociated themselves from the recent release of water into the sarovar of the Mastuana gurdwara. Parshotam Singh Phagguana, who met the Jathedar along with Mahant Sadhu Singh, gave an undertaking that the changes in the replica of the Golden Temple would be implemented in toto. The Sikh conclave had directed the gurdwara management to change the architectural design of the shrine and fill the sarovar with earth. Water released into sarovar Sushil Goyal Tribune News Service Sangrur, June 26 Despite the order of Akal Takht to fill the sarovar of Gurdwara Sachkhand Angitha Sahib, Mastuana Sahib, which is a Golden Temple lookalike, with earth, water was released in the sarovar on Wednesday night. However, it couldn’t be ascertained who had released the water into the sarovar. Meanwhile, the construction of a verandah around the gurdwara was reportedly started yesterday to change the looks of the gurdwara. Baba Surjit Singh Duggan, vice-president of the gurdwara, said he was bound to the “hukamnama” issued by Akal Takht with regard to the gurdwara. He also said the president of the gurdwara Sadhu Singh was a father figure for him. SGPC member Udhey Singh, said he had not seen water in the sarovar.

You say:There are no anti-sikh hindus in world/india/punjab.

Romesh Kr., You seem to savor any News item that reports dissenting incidents in the matters related to Sikh religion and yet you have the audacity to say there are no anti-sikh hindus in world/india/punjab. Why on hell do you take such keen interest in matters that don't concern you at all in any way whatsoever. PLEASE LEAVE US ALONE AND MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

satnam anand You sound like

satnam anand You sound like rising temperature combined with power shortage in Delhi has affected you. I suggest you to visit Hemkunt sahib and come back after monsoon. After that come back to me with your definition of an "agent". "Anti-sikh agents" (as you are) are always picked from among sabatsurat sikhs who have influence over fellow sikhs, not from outside. Cleanshaved sikhs or cleanshaved nonsikhs with nonsikh names are not and can not be used to infilterate into sabatsurat sikhs. Even a fool can understand this, you sound to have gone one step ahead. Take care of yourself..........................AND YOU ARE AT LIBERTY TO LEAVE INDIA AND GO BACK TO THE PLACE OF YOUR ANCESTORS ACROSS THE BORDER.

Brahmin Devta: Tal-Mattaul Nahi, Sidhe Sidhay Jawab Deo.

Romesh Uncle, Leave aside your 'Chalaak Brahmin' wali kartoots and provide straight forward answers to my simple posers. >>> 1. WHOM DOES YOUR BRAHMIN BOSSES (RSS) CONSIDER AN INDIAN? >>> (2.) WHAT AUTHORITY YOU HAVE GOT TO ASSESS AND PUBLICIZE THE 'INNER LOYALTY ' AND 'SINCERITY' OF MUSLIM OR ANY OTHER RELIGION. >>> (3.) WHY THE BLOODY HELL DO YOU TAKE SUCH KEEN INTEREST IN THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS OF SIKHS WHICH DO NOT CONCERN YOU AT ALL IN ANY MANNER WHATSOEVER?>>> (5.) FOR GOD SAKE TELL ME WHY CAN'T YOU LEAVE THE SIKHS ALONE? >>>>>>> I repeat the following apprehensions of SIKHS once again; "today you and your bosses are baselessly branding 99% Muslims as anti-Indian what's the surety (in the backdrop of your brahminical mindset) tomorrow you will not say the same for Christians and then for Sikhs?" > It is because this kind of propaganda by your Bosses through thousands of AGENTS like you that creates rift in the society and remember this is the root cause of disturbances in our country. There can be no bigger FARCE than your claim/justification that, "There are no anti-Sikh Hindus in the world/India Punjab." Right from the time of Guru Nanak Dev Ji till date there are countless incidents of discrimination and insults meted out to Sikhs by your Brahmin gods. THE BITTER FACT IS THAT THERE IS NO DEARTH OF ANTI SIKH, THANKLESS HINDUS LIKE YOUR GOODSELF EVEN TODAY. You yourself and your 'PHITRAT' is one of the most startling example of an (ASH) ANTI SIKH HINDU. Believe me Mr. Romesh Kr. Sikhs are quite capable to sort out their own problems, you are therefore requested for the umpteenth time now, to leave Sikhs (at least) on their own, your advice/suggestion is not required. FYI SELF PROCLAIMED CLEAN-SHAVEN (BRAHMIN) SIKHS LIKE YOU WHO ARE WORKING OVERTIME ON VARIOUS SITES SPREADING FALSE AND HATEFUL PROPAGANDA WHO ARE THE REAL ANTI SIKH AGENTS. (Sabat soorat Sikh tan tusi pehlan hi nigaal chuke ho Pandit jee.)

what is sgpc doing??

i dont know wht is sgpc doing, instd of doing politics it should go ahead and take some strong steps to prevent any such further cases. These baba's should not b allowed to malign our religion.

about replica of golden temple

This is wrong to make duplicate golden temple. Ask from them who make it ,that can they make their duplcate home and mother and father . They will say no. Then how can they make this mistake. Some Quantity bricks, sand , cement can not make a new golden temlpe. Usde layee shri guru ram dass ji nu dubara ana pavega. chahe jinne vade marji sarover bana lain par amrit ta use sarover vichon hi milna hai jis nu guru ji di choh prapat hai. Chaahe jine margi golden temple banalao par Harimandir Sahib dubara nahi ban payega.

Thanx and regards waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh

Pseudo-sant (Fake-sant)

Go to www.panthic.net and type Sant Balwant Serhora (spelling?) and you can see that he travels with body

guards, if he was a real saint or a real sikh then he should be dependent on Vaheguru for protection and not his

body guards.

Shame on the SIKH who built

Shame on the SIKH who built it and further shame on those who visit it. Just like Rham Raheem or Radha Suwami many sikhs go to them when it is clearly stated in SIKHISM that GURU GRANTH SAHIB is your only living guru and we should not bow to any human or statue still LOT of sikhs bow to hindu lords and statues.

Why is this happening?

I'm surprised that this guy is still alive and that some really stupid Sikhs are allowing this to happen. I mean, this guy put tilak stuff all over Guru Sahib....check www.panthic.net because they have all of the pics, and this clown is messing everything up. He lets people bow to him and.... it makes you cry. I just hope that Guru Ji, please hear this prayer, save us from people like this....grant them wisdom and stop such blasphemy from accuring....PLEASE have pity on us and help us............

Replica of Sri Darbar Sahib

How could this ever happen? What is SGPC doing? Practically nothing. These so called holy men have not the least respect for Sri Darbar Sahib and our Gurus. There is only one Sri Darbar Sahib. Let there not be any duplicate replica of our holy shrine. These viscious elements are trying to divide the Sikh Panth. I hope they will never suceed in their false pursuit. Instead of spending milions of rupees on this fake project, why not spend milions to save the lives of our youngsters who are drfting away from Sikhism - they use cigs., they drink and worst of all they take drugs! Spend money to save the lives of these youngsters. Or is it that they don´t give a bloody damn about the plight of these youngsters? What should be done?

Another Golden Temple?

There will always be only one and only one Darbar Sahib. Any replica does not replace Darbar Sahib's sanctity interwoven in the the fabric of Sikh psyche and devotion historically. Although there is nothing wrong with having a replica of Harimandir Sahib but peacefully it can be accommodated. The Sikh' s Soul would not be detached from Darbar Sahib by this replica made with love and devotion either.

Source: http://www.tribuneindia.com/2009/20090612/punjab.htm#3 -The news seems to make lot of sense -------------------------------------------- Golden Temple Lookalike - Mastuana panel appears before Akal Takht - Amritsar, June 11 Even as a five-member committee of Gurdwara Sachkhand Angitha Sahib Mastuana, led by Sant Surjit Singh, today appeared before Akal Takht to submit an undertaking that it won’t replicate the Golden Temple at Mastuana, SGPC president Avtar Singh said the proposed Sikh conclave would be held at Teja Singh Sammundari Hall here on June 20 as per schedule to discuss the issue. The SGPC president, who had gone to Raipur, Chhattisgarh, said Sant Attar Singh had never dreamt of replicating the Golden Temple in Malwa as claimed by a section of the management. The SGPC president said that the Mastuana management had failed to fulfil its commitment made to Akal Takht and the SGPC in 1994 that the design and architecture of the Sikh shrine at Mastuana would be changed. Meanwhile, the Sikh Students Federation, led by Manjit Singh Bhoma, has asked the management of Gurdwara Mastuana to demolish the controversial building otherwise a mass movement would be launched against them. However, Sant Surjit Singh, who visited here along with other four members of the Mastuana Management Committee, clarified that no construction work was being undertaken by the management at Mastuana. He said work of desilting of the holy tank was misconstrued for the construction work. He said that status quo was being maintained in accordance with the directive of Akal Takht and the SGPC with regard to stopping further construction in 1994. The construction of a gurdwara resembling Harmandar Sahib at Mastuana was discontinued following intervention of Akal Takht 15 years ago. At present, Sant Sadhu Singh heads the management of Gurdwara Sachkhand Angitha Sahib Mastuana. Since he is not keeping well, he sent his brother Sant Surjit Singh along with Principal Babu Singh Sandor, Prashotam Singh Phaguwala, Jagjit Singh Changal, Ajit Singh, Shaaminder Singh Kanjhala to submit the sealed letter at the Takht. They alleged that a controversy was raked up by an SGPC member who was keen to take over the management of the gurdwara. They claimed that after the demise of previous head of the management Sant Roor Singh in the first month of this year, the same person hurriedly installed a five-member committee and used other ploys to take over the management. However, the sangat rejected his move, they added. Sant Surjit Singh said the foundation stone for the construction of a holy pond and the gurdwara was laid in the memory of Sant Attar Singh in 1967. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Replica Harminder Sahib

SGPC is impotant organisation. It has no concern about sikhi. It does not promote any solid activities that can bring any thing good out of community. SGPC member are just their to grab power and money. There is no GurSikhi in them. They do not even understand the basics of sikhi but they are running some self made shows. It is time for sangat to come forward and take charge of some of these very delicate and important issues. There is no need for making replica of Shri Harminder Sahib. Please reason with these people to stop this construction or modify it. There is one and only one "Shri Harminder Sahib" which is our Mecca and our Jerusalem and our Vatican. This is one place we all long to see one day. Keep it safe and clean from any duplication.

DARBAR SAHIB

Waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh khalsa ji, aj badi sharm di gal hai for SGPC and DSGPC that they are not doing anything for this matter. they are just giving statements to the press that this is bad this bad and we all know this thing that they will not do anything more for this matter. and i want to bring some lines of Gurbani in your knowledge. Guru sahib said: JAU TAU PREM KHELAN KA CHAAO SIR DHAR TALI GALI MERI AAO. but they are not applying or we can say that these leaders are not practical in sikhi or can say that they are nothing and we all know what they did in last two decades. they don't know the power of gurbani and they don't even think why these mahapurakh Bhai harjinder singh ji jinda, bhai sukhdev singh ji sukha, bhai satwant singh ji and bhai Beant singh ji' motive. and you know khalsa ji they treat us like mads. but actually they are mahamurakh. AS bhagat ravidass ji said "HAR SO HEERA SHHAAD KE KARAY AWAR KI AASS TE NAR DOJAK JAHENGE SAT BHAAKHAY RAVIDAAS" and for that animal who is constructing this thing. guru sahib said "jo hum ko parmesar uchray te sab narak kunt meh paray" jehra v aapne aap ne parmesar kahega oh narakaan ch jayega. te khalsa ji, these all are going to naraks. they are mad after money and they don't beleive in God. u know why because they are breaking hearts of other innocent people( jehre parmatma naal jurray ne). Khalsa they will not do anything except statements. and u know jado appeal daleel tau kam uttay utth jaye ta talwaar utthaani jayez hai. "CHU KAR AJ HAMMAA HEELTAY HALAL AST BURDAN B SHAMSHEER DAST". khalsa ji "ilahi voh bhi din hoga jab aona raj dekhenge jab apna raaj dekhenge jab apni jamee hogi jab apna aasmaan hoga" waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh.

Info for the sangat. This replica did not appear overnight; the Gurudwara is there for more than 10+ years and is in the same state since i last saw it more than 10 years ago. the only change is that now there is some paint on bricks in the Sarovar area, nothing else changed. Poeple and SGPC knows about it from day one; why the news and fuss all of a sudden? I guess its a cheap stunt by SGPC chief to get some limelight. yes we should address this issue but not let these political people hijack it; if they were really concerned they should have done somthing about it when construction started on this 10+ years ago. FYI:This place is situated at distance of 6 KM west of Sangrur on the Sangrur-Barnala Road, Mastuana Sahib and was built by Sant Atar Singh ji Mastuana Sahib. Majority part of the management is under control of Senior Akali Dal Badal leader Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa.

The Politicians who Built this Structure wants to divide us.

These dirty politicians knew Hard Core Pakaa Sikhs would react strongly if they were to Publicly replicate Sri Harimandi , so they are watching and accessing public reaction. Just how many people outside of India knew of this building ? This is cause for a New Sikh awakening around the world, make NO mistake about it, Sikhs are going to spill their blood in order to preserve the Purity of their religion, and they are not going to Kill demoniac Hindu leaders who are the perpetrators of the destruction of our people , but most certainly their own fallen Sikhs who are influenced by the RSS Brahman leaders, and are sitting amongst us with their hidden agendas . I can feel the earth shaking. There will be NO Second Class Golden Temple. Guru Gobind Singh Ji sacrificed His sons in order to preserve Sikh Dharma (Duty) and He saw disaster in the future thats why he NEVER appointed a successor in the form of a Human being. Our 11th Guru is NONE other than Sri Guru Grant Sahib Ji. in the form of Diety Shastra in Sri Harimandir , To Replicate Sri Harimandir Sahib is no different from removing our Gurus from Golden Temple. Please stop the construction of this Building and let No one think of replicating Sri Harimandir ..TO ALL PIOUS HINDUS This is the site where Sita Devi the wife of Sri Ram raised her two sons Luv and Kush,, The Gopies of Brindaban would come and dance in the moonlight night on that spot. And when Sri Ram Ji left AYODHIA for the forest 2 million years ago , he went to the spot where the Sri Harimandir is built. This is a very very spiritual place in India. The demons must be reminded that Punjab it self is a spiritual place. Mahabharat war of 5000 years ago took place in Punjab and millions died in order to preserve Dharma. After that great war the only thing which was left on the battlefield of Kurekshetra were 5 Khatris (Pandavas} Sri Krishna Ji and the charriot. This is India's History which is preserved in the Puranas. And when Sikh war is over there will be 5 khalsas left on the battlefield with Sri Guru Grant Sabib Ji present in their hearts. . Raj Karega Khalsa (Khalsa is Raja)

HOE EKTAAR MILOH MERE BHAI DUBIDA DOOR KAROH LIV LAE

bhai saihb ,i did not see this building in mastuana complex ,i visited 2 years ago, no body even mentioned it in that area. you may be right or wrong what it has a big impact sikh on psyche,if you khow more about pl. let every body know. SANT.ATTAR SINGH IS A SAVIOR OF SIKH RELIOGEN ,A TRUE KHALSA, HE also helped to restore sacredness OF gurudwaras. kar seva of DAMDAMA SAHIB IS WELL KHOWN EFFORT OF HIS TO RESTORE SAROVAR SANCTITY. also helped to seek KHADE DEE PAHUL TO MORE THAN 25 LAKH. BARU SAHIB is a great gift of to sikhs and others a value based education. i donot khow this baba ! what his intentions are; it duty of all sikh to get to bottom of this. donot sgpc or badal or any mahasas; GURU PANTH MUST TAKE CHARGE WITH GUINDACE OF GURU GRANTH. WJKK; WJKF

Again we don't wanna get into how long it's there for. It's been 10+ yrs since i left Punjab and i have seen this place built before that, so it's been there close to 15 years at least. And it's on the far end of Mastuana Sahib (towards Barnala side), you probably missed it since the location of this Gurudwara is behind another Gurudwara; so you can't directly see it. If you google 'Mastuana Sahib' you can see this place ( replica Gurudwara Sahib) under satellite view with green color around the Gurudwara Sahib. I don't expect this place to be completed soon based on the fact that it's been in this state for 15 years, unless they got funds from somewhere. Also we should question Mr.Dhindsa who controls the management (there was a fight in the Gurudwara this January when Dhindsa group tried to control on other Gurudwara (angitha sahib) controlled by different group within Mastuana Sahib; you can read the news here: http://www.tribuneindia.com/2009/20090110/punjab1.htm ) Also Mastuana Sahib got no affiliation to Baru Sahib; the schools and Baru Sahib started from Mastuana Sahib, but it's been since controlled by power and money hungry people.

sikh never point a finger to any other people's place of worship ,hindu.or muslim .we should talk only how to get rid of these mahants and masands.

New Age

In 25 years Sikhism will be even more of a minority in India. These so called Hindus who wish to obliterate Sikhism in India will be successful if these attempts such as the duplicate second golden temple and the other hindu temple in Amritstar prosper. Perhaps this will also be the down fall of these so called hindus who wish to destroy Sikhism also. Take these events as an awakening within the Sikh populace. We as a people, religion, and culture have survived the worse throughout history and you better believe we will survive these attempts as well. When the time comes when Sikhism is fading in Punjab that is when the Sikhs will rise again and the age of Misls will be reborn, for no person can live being held down.

DUPLICATE GOLDEN TEMPLE

I STRONGLY OPPOSE THE CONSTRUCTION OF A DUPLICATE GOLDEN TEMPLE . THIS IS JUST AN ATTEMPT BY FEW SIKHS WHO R A BOLT ON SIKHISM . THIS IS ENTIRE AN EFFORT TO COLLECT MONEY AND CAUSE MORE DISTURBANCE IN PUNJAB . WE SIKHS SHOULD PEACEFULLY CONDEMM IT AND ASK FOR ITS DEMOLITION OR TO DONATE THE ALREADY CONSTRUCTED STRUCTURE TO AN ORPHANAGE BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY ORPHANAGES WITHOUT PROPER BUILDINGS . ATLEAST THIS REPLICA WILL THEN BE PUT TO ITS BEST USE BECAUSE IT CAN NEVER EVER TAKE THE PLACE OF GOLDEN TEMPLE . WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH .

What a foolish idea!

This is rediculous! That huge amount of money should have been spent on people in need instead of this cheap act of propaganda which will definatelly make division among Sikhs...

RSS Brahmans wants to Destroy Sikhism THROUGH Imposters.

The Rules of thumb for RSS/VHP/ Brahmans to Take-over Gurdwaras and to raise millions of dollars for engaging in Brahman Politics in India is through #1 LIES #2 PROPAGANDA #3 RUMORS #4 SPIES #5 AGENT PROVOCATEURS #6 SABOTEURS INSIDE , These Baba Brahmans are Rawans dressed in the robe of a saintly person. Their objective is to establish a permanent base in India and operate in America, Canada, and England, to fund raise millions of dollars by establishing c-501 Tax exempt status in America. Always remember Hindu India is one of the MOST corrupted countries on the planet. There is NO shortage of highly educated thieves in India. 99% of Hindus mis-use the tax codes in America and other foreign countries . they engage in wickedness and use the Indian Flag to protect them from getting beaten.

Sikhism is not Four Walls.

OK I HAVE EDITED . Why you have to delete comment can you stop Truth?.

Stop Unabated Donations

After death ( body death) of 8th Nanak Guru Har Rai ji, 21 Duplicate Guru claimed they are True Guru. ENLIGHTEN Sikh Makan Shah found True Guru Guru Tegh Bahadur ji . BUILDING duplicate structure is in line of 21 Duplicate Gurus ----Sikh Sangat should read Guru Granth Saheb ji daily so they can judge who is True or False.------------------ Copying Structure is nothing Gurmit Ram Rahim Singh recently stated he will sit in place of Guru Granth Saheb ji in Harmander Saheb, Amritsar. It could only happen with help of Hindu inflitrator in SGPC , Central and State government support . now question is why they want to copy Structure, Gurbani, Image of Guru/Sikh reason is -----(1)--Duplicacy/Piracy is only of those thing which are True and good. It will our fault if will cannot judge Duplicate or Original before buying that product.-------------------(2) 116 Crore is India population. 50 % population is living below poverty line they get 1 time meal in a day, accomodating all of them with Job is next to impossible, this 50% is ready to do anything it is very easy to convert them of 116 Crore 9 Crore are Sadhus , Pandit, Astrologers they dont work they live on offering of devotees this 9 crore Sadhus, Pandit , Astrologers are now infiltrating in Gurdwaras by (fake) conversion to Sikhism especially from UP & Bihar . Managing Committee of Gurdwara is always in search of person who demand less salary they easily get this job and result is before us .------ (3) By Birth Sikhs are not aware of basic of Sikhism and get influenced by this Babas.------(4) One Gurmukh informed 10-15 years back that in future in a family of four they four will follow four different babas.---------(5) Before they take control of all Gurdwara we Sikh on personal level stop donation to all such Gurdwara where Commiittee is interested in Dusvandh/Golak.(6) After Independence since 1947 all minorities Muslims, Sikhs , Jain, Christians are slaves of Hindus they use and throw minorities since control media, and other governement machinery----------------GURU GRANTH SAHEB JI SAYS ANG/PAGE 633--------Like a dogs tail, which will never straighten out, the mind will not change, no matter how many things are tried. Says Nanak, please, Lord, uphold the honor of Your innate nature; I chant Your Name. -----------ONLY solution chant Gurbani 24 hrs while doing your work. -----If ever you succed controling Harmander Saheb do you think Sikhism will vanish.

This is worst than 1984 , its time to Get Raid of Rascal Babas

The Demons who are trying to divide our community by insulting our Beloved Gurus will become worms in their next life, the next thing these demons will do is to have their own translation of Sri Guru Grant Sahib Ji probably within 25 years. We MUST discourage the building of this second class so called Golden Temple. Our strength lies in the Only Sri Harimandir, the works with the hands of our Gurus, NOT some Rascal Baba, Can You imagine some godless Catholics making a replica of the Vatican in Rome and appointing a second Pope ? This is all about sucking money from Sikh community by misleading and misguiding innocent Sikhs, who will become so divided , that they will kill each other. These are the Babas who are responsible for dividing our community and spilling the blood of brothers. WE must use all available resources to discourage this nonsense, or use force when all else fails. This is the essancse of Guru Gobind Singh Ji's teachings, Dont you think Guru Gobind Singh Ji saw this and he became the last living Guru in Human Form. The action of this Baba will destroy the PURITY of Sikhism. As I have always said this is a religion with Humility, Charity , and Zero Tolerance when it comes to PURITY, and these so called Babas are all impure people. No devout and Pious Sikh will build another Sri Harimandir None! We must get raid of these demons if we are to preserve the Purity of Sikhism, otherwise we will be no better than Demigod worshippers.

Red Alert!!

Sadh Sangat ji, It is the extreme that Babbas have done. They should be bought under control. Let us raise the voice against it and try to crush them.

Hmmm...

VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH

Is the Baba planning to have this as a fully functioning Gurudwara? If so, then it should not be a huge issue...it would be a Gurudwara. I do not see nearly as much drama about the Mandir that is in Amritsar Sahib and constructed to the Harimandir Sahib's likeness: http://www.durgianamandir.com/ . However, if it is used for ANY OTHER purpose besides the same function as Harimandir Sahib (a Gurudwara), there will be problems.

Duplicate Harmandir Sahib

This must open eyes of sikhs who denote hole heartly to these baba in name of religion. During their smagam at various place by thier jatha they ask denotion for schools & education ete. But this whole sect is creatating full infrastucture to competre with SGPC. They have got their own maryada. They belive in Pujariwad make their own deras. Creation of Duplicate Harmadir Sahib is just their effort to incash popularity of Darbar Sahib. This baba think himself bigger than SGPC. In Ardas we pray hey wahe guru " Kaam Krodh Lobh Moh Ahankaar to bachana" please add to save from these Babas. Thanks

gur kahia so kar kamavo ,gur ki karni kahe dhavoh

just like bhasaure' try to change GURBANI, now same way this person doing ,he must be stopped peacefully.if it did not work then panth must act swifftly to end this once for all.

Time for us to re-unite

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH The only intent of constructing this replica is to create problems in punjab. As if the 'dera' problem was not enough.. It's time for us to stand up against this non-sense, even if it means sacrificing our own selves. This problem as it seems is about to take the shape of catastrophe, this baba - whoever he is needs to disarmed & disbanded right away by any means. All those Sikhs who are in the media are requested to take this at a national level and the general public must know what is happening. The Sikhs have proved at the time of the 'Dera' controversy that they are a united force and they will stand up to anything against the 'Panth'. It's time to re-unite.. Regards, Sewak
