The video shows how that Ranjit Singh casually sits on his seat and sometimes show little or no interest in those who bow to him with faith and sharda. He blesses those who bow to him by patting them on the head or back. Bhai Ranjit Singh shows no hesitation when the Sangat matha tekhs to him. The video shows how Sikhs visiting him put money in the basket, give presents and then matha tekh to him. On the wall behind him is a large painting of himself, and in front of his seat is a plastic basket. The recent video of Bhai Ranjit Singh shows him wearing a Kalgi (plume) or something similar to it, and sitting on a high seat. Furthermore it has been suggested on certain radio stations and by Gurdwara Sahibs that Ranjit Singh is only driven by collecting money for himself and that he is “fake holy man”. His use of Gurbani and style of Kirtan has led to accusations that he sings “Kachee Baanee” (distorted Gurbaani). He has focused on doing Amrit Parchaar and asking youngsters to give up intoxicants.Ĭontroversy has built around the young Ranjit Singh Dhadrianwale who calls himself a “Sant”. On the stage Bhai Ranjit Singh Dhadiranwale has publicly said that no one should do matha tekh (bow down) to him and only matha tekh to Guru Granth Sahib Ji. It may not be doing good to those people but surely damaging and diluting reputation of Sikh People and Sikhism. Whats the use of saying that " i have made such a large number of people to take amrit" when they all are going to perish in a short time. They are totally ignorant about sikh value of being "Saabat soorat". the ladies still have their ears and nose pierced and wear jewelery in them. The "amritdhaaris" "churned" out by ranjit singh are having no knowledge of sikhism. If sikh could brush up their basics then i am sure no one can fool them.
A person who doesn't appreciate good music and raag cannot be close to God.
Raag or classical music is for those who are at a higher level of spirituality thats why guru ji insisted of doing kirtan in raagas. He who is still at the level of mala cannot be a sant.Ģ) Our guru ji has picked 31 beautiful Raagas and decorated the gurbani with them. i remember a line from gurbani " GaliN Jina JappmaliaN Lote HAtth Nibagg, O har ke sant na janeae, Banaras ke Thagg "ġ) A person who uses a mala (rosary) to do simran cannot be a sant because a rosary is just like a practice aid so that we can practice to concentrate on a single thing much like a "walker" that is provided to a child so that he can learn to walk.
Sant ji has a strong following due to the fact that his message is kept simple and delivered in language which the average person living in rural Punjab can understand and relate to.I think Sikh are having little knowledge of how to recognise a sant. The kirtan is not in the traditional classical raag form but in the simpler tradition of the sant tradition which has been practised in the sant-panth tradition by such strong figures as Sant Baba Nand Singh and Sant Baba Isher Singh. His message is simple, clear and delivered in the "sant-maata" (simple, basic) manner. His message, in an effort to stop both young and older Sikhs from falling prey to the anti-Gurmat diseases of drug, alcohol and tobacco abuse, which are out of control in the state of Punjab, India. Unlike many other educators of the Sikh masses, as a young person, he has tirelessly been doing a consistent and influential form of Sikhi Parchaar (preaching), predominantly centralized in the Punjab.
Since a very young age he has followed the path of Sikhi and has a deep understanding of the holy scriptures. Sant Baba Ranjit Singh Ji Dhadrianwale (Nirvair Khalsa Dal - Gurdwara Parmeshar Dwar Sahib Patiala), is believed to have been born in July 1983 in Punjab, India.
