Aurangzeb and Guru Gobind Singh’s lifelong struggle with Aurangzeb and hisadministrators. This could have savedthousands of innocent lives.Why did Gurus not recite Ardas todo sarbat da bhala?Why did Guru Gobind Singh not reciteArdas during the siege ofAnandpur sahib, in the battles ofC h a m k a u rand Khidraney dee Dhaab?Why did Guru Gobind Singhnot recite Ardas to stop theflood in Sarsa rivulet(Nadi) orlower the water level?Why did Baba BandaSingh Bhadur not recite Ardasduring the siege of GurdasNangal?In 1947, why did no onerecite Ardas to save more thanmillion innocent lives?In 1984, thousands innocentSikhs (men, women and children)were murdered by the Indian army andpolice, why did no Sikh religious leaderor the sangat recite Ardas to save their lives?There is lot of poverty,sickness and hunger in the developingcountries, why did our Gurduaras sangat notdo Ardas for them to have better life?There are lot of wild fires, floods, crimes,earthquakes, hurricanes and other disastersin the world, why did the Sikh Sangat notrecite Ardas to stop them?Why not who believe that Ardas is verypowerful when recited by the sangat in theform of ‘Collective Energy’ perform Ardasto establish Peace and Happiness in theworld?The above questions clearly indicate thatSikh Gurus rejected the idea of special prayeror Ardas. They believed in Akal Purkh(Creator) & did not interfere with his Lawsof Nature/ Cosmic Law (Hukam). As GuruNanak said in Jap bani Sacha sahib saachnaye…the Creator exists perma-nently, hisnaye (Hukam) is permanent as well. It meansthe Creator never changes his Hukam, underany circumstances or for anybody. In21st century of science and technology, It isa common knowledge that all creation in theuniverse is continuously changing, such asweather or climate which never stay thesame.The scientists studied the Cosmic Law/Laws of Nature (Hukam) and madewonderful inventions. These inventionsbrought industrial and technologicalBuy/Sell/Lease, Any kind of Real Estate : 403-681-8689revolution for the betterment of the humanity.They are such as: Telecommunications,Transportation, Information Technology,For GuruNanak, the Godis Universal Truth,Knowledge (Sabad)and Treasure of Virtues,understandable throughwisdom and discerningintellect( bibek buddhi).Sikhism is based uponreason, truth, relevance,purpose, facts andlogic. Guru Nanakrejected thethousands yearsold beliefsystem.Medical Science( diagnostic procedures andtherapeutic agents), Agriculture (farming,livestock and food processing), Spaceexploration, Social Media and much more.The countries who took advantages of theseinventions are controlling the world (2).For Guru Nanak, the God is UniversalTruth, Knowledge (Sabad) and Treasure ofVirtues, understandable through wisdom anddiscerning intellect( bibek buddhi). Sikhismis based upon reason, truth, relevance,purpose, facts and logic. Guru Nanakrejected the thousands year old belief system.Today, Sikh religious institutions(Gurduaras), religious leaders(SGPC),Taksals, Deradars, Babas, Sants and someSikh organizations are actually promotingthe belief system. Ignorance stimulatebelief system, which in turn encouragerituals. Where as Knowledge discouragebelief system and the person becomesritual free. The interesting point is, that,all these people who believe in ”beliefsystem” are enjoying the full benefits ofscience and technology themselves, butthey preach against it to the innocent Sikhsangat.My personal belief that Guru Nanak(1469-1539) was perhaps the firstphilosopher the world ever produced withsuch a discerning intellect (bibek buddhi).His contemporary Polish mathematician andastronomer Copernicus (1473-1543) placedthe Sun rather than the Earth at the center ofthe universe, was way behind Guru Nanakin his perception of vastness of cosmos (3).The sad part is that Guru Nanak was born indark and dead India instead of being born inRenaissance Europe. What a waste; what atragedy; how shameful!Conclusion: The countries or societieswho studied he Cosmic Law/ Laws of Nature(Hukam) are enjoying the full benefits oftheir inventions and sharing with rest of theworld such as: Telecommuni-cations,Transportation, Information Technology,Space exploration and International SpaceStation for further research and developmentetc. However, Sikh religious institutions(Gurduaras), leadership (SGPC) and the Sikhclergy are working towards changing theLaws of Nature with prayers like Ardas. Howembarrassing!Sikhism is considered most modernreligion in the world, but the way it ispracticed, seems very outdated. What ashame!My personnel suggestionto Sikh community, invest in Educationinstead of religion ( for example buildingbigger & more Gurduaras). Education willhelp our youth to competewith rest of world. I would like to remindevery Sikh living in Canada about PrincipleTeja Singh. He was an academic, appliedhis wisdom and intellect to lobby Canadiangovernment on behalf of Sikhs at thattime. One thing for sure, he did not use Ardasas a tool for his success in this mission. Heis the reason, we all are enjoying better lifein Canada today.I would like to request Sikh communitymembers who believe in belief system tochange their conscious wisdom (innertransformation) rather than changing theLaws of Nature. This would be only achievedby understanding Gurbani principles.I would like to thank Harpreet Singh andBibi Baljit Kaur for their discussion on“Importance of Ardas” which in turnmotivated me to write this article.References: Baldev Singh; Gurmat,Guru Nanak’s Path of Enlightenment; Firstedition 2015.Moninder Singh; Realizing Hukam;Singh Sabha Canada, May 17,2018.Hardev Singh Sherrgill; The SikhBulletin; Editorial, March-April 2017.(The End)Sikh Virsa, Calgary 90.
