Shri Mataji: They (Sikhs) came to Sahaja, but they said, We cannot worship Goddess. I said Why?

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Just a few days back i realized how little my Sikh mother knew about

Sikhism. This sad realization was made all the more clearer by my

sister-in-law, a university graduate, who despite having a deep

grounding in Sikhism is just as ignorant. Like most Sikhs, they too

have been conditioned that Sikhism forbids the worship of the Devi.

The fact that most Sikhs, like Muslims, do not understand the

language of their holy scriptures just keeps them ignorant and at the

mercy of the priests.

 

But if you read the holy scriptures of Sikhism you will realize that

Shri Mataji is absolutely correct when She said " " They (Sikhs) came

to Sahaja, but they said, " We cannot worship Goddess. " I said " Why? " "

 

i just cannot understand why Sikhs are so blind, all the more to the

Aykaa Mayee (One Mother) whom they have recited countless times over

the centuries when they read the Japji Sahib. Moreover, the Dasam

Granth is clear about the Devi:

 

" 6. The Granth contains sixteen compositions versified in different

forms of poetry in the following order:

 

Jap (meditation)

Bachitar Natak ( autobiography of the Guru)

Akal Ustat (praises of God)

Chandi Charitar I & II (the character of goddess Chandi)

Chandi di Var (a ballad to describe goddess Durga)

Gian Prabodh (the awakening of knowledge)

Chaubis Avtar (24 incarnations of Vishnu)

Brahm Avtar (incarnation of Brahma)

Rudar Avtar (incarnation of Shiv)

Shabad Hazare (ten shabads)

Swayyae (33 stanzas)

Khalsa Mehma (the praises of the Khalsa)

Shaster Nam Mala ( a list of weapons)

Triya Charitar (the character of women)

Zafarnama (epistle of victory, a letter written to Emperor Aurangzeb)

Hikayats. (stories) "

" Touching upon various aspects of all religion and the mission of

these incarnations, Shri Mataji reminded us of Sikhism and its

teaching and the paradox that the present people have on

understanding God in their own terms. She says " We have also Sikh

community. They came to Sahaja, but they said, " We cannot worship

Goddess. " I said " Why? " Surprised at it, because Shri Guru Nanak

has talked about the Goddess, the Devi. The first sentence of His

book is Adya. Adya is the Adi Shakti. And for this, if the Sikhs

stupidly say, then why do they have a 'Chandi'-'garh'. That's so

stupid also, nothing to really compare. "

Not only that but the Dasam Granth also praises Shri Brahma, Shiva

and Vishnu ......... who were first created by the Aykaa Mayee.

 

All this is but another pearl to be added in the priceless Necklace

of Knowledge that the Devi (Aykaa Mayee/Shakti) has bestowed over the

years. i have realized that ignorant gianis and priests have made

fools out of the religious faithful and retarded their spiritual

growth. That is why if you need to move even a single step in any

direction to pray to God you are going the wrong way.

 

regards to all,
