Respected Sikh Sangat, Gurdwara Sahib Organizers, Sikh Speaker Sevardars and others. Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh.

I have been urging to all of you since 1984 and am still begging ‘you please be honest with yourself and with the Sikh Nation or Khalsa Panth to recognize Gurdwara Sahibs with the name of Khalsa Panth to recognize. Gurdwara Sahibs with the name ‘of Gurdwara rather than Temple. ‘When you introduced Gurdwara as a Temple, you have already lost the power of self-confidence. How can we gain other’s sympathy while we are telling) the wrong names of our religious teaching place? Temple is the place where you worship the statues, it is concerning with the Hindu or Brahmin religion. Be brave, be confident, be proud, being a Sikh introduce yourself as a Singh or Kaur, Gurughar Gurdwara, the holy book Guru Granth Sahib, the language Punjabi, the nation/ ancestor’s and Khalistan, It is fine if you do not recognize Khalistan but Punjab is there.

Here is the difference between reciting and worshipping. Sikhs never worship but recite the teachings of Ten Sikh Gurus which are written in Guru Granth Sahib, and in a Gurdwara, in the Gurdwara congregation, we get together and recite and learn about the teachings of gurus.

Same way as the Church is for Christians. So how can we give the same or ‘one name to all of them? If somebody says Singh is a Kumar or Kaur is a Kumari or America is Russia or call man as a woman, would we believe in this nonsense?

Here, I am helpless to forget the lines uttered by my respected Bapu ji Dr. Sohan Singh, (senior leader of the Khalistan movement),” America and Canada are both countries that send their delegates 10 India for seeking the problem of the Khalistan movement but they failed, they do not know the real reason of the fight. Here is the clash between “Mool Mantar’and“Gaitery” (Sikh principles and Hindu ideology).

So my honorable Sikh nation Sevardars, please do take a little effort to twist your tongue and change the direction of your pen. Bring reality in front of the world, who we are, and what is the difference between “Mool Mantar” and “‘Gaitery,” between Gurdwara and Temple. Please erase the Temple name from the gurdwara boards, letter pads etc. ‘An advance thanks for reading, thinking, adopting, changing, recognizing and believing, “Truth is high, higher is still Truthful Living.”

With high hopes, Amrit Kaur Boparai “Kaur” Organization.
