Samvad, The discussion forum published a draft aimed at initiating debate on determining the future course of the Sikh struggle in accordance with panthic tradition and principles. The document was published on June 6, 2020 at Takht Kesgarh Sahib, Sri Anandpur Sahib.
The message at the beginning of the document states: [s]23 Jetha, 547 Nanakshahi (6 June 2015) Bhai Daljit Singh released a draft document to initiate a process of thought and discussion on moving the Khalsa Panth towards the Khalsa Ji Ke Bol Baalaya. With the bakhshisha (blessings) of Satguru Ji, the Samvad Initiative has been guided by the vision of this document and has worked for the chardikala of the Khalsa Panth for the past five years, promoting critical debate and internal development.
To chart the next stage of this process, some panthdardis gathered at Sri Anandpur Sahib during the Hola Mohalla jor mela this year to introspect and discuss future steps. The essence of this discussion is now being conveyed to the Khalsa Panth for feedback so that we can develop a collective strategy for the future.
This document is a set of suggested guidelines based on the limited intelligence of some panthdardis. It is not intended to be a definitive or definitive conclusion. We request the bright minds of the Khalsa Panth to share their valuable thoughts with the GurSangat so that we can pave the way forward and collectively work towards achieving the Khalsa Ji Ke Bol Baalaya.
To explain some of the terms and concepts used in the document, Samvad began a series of discussions. The first online discussion on Bipar Sanskar was held on July 25, 2020. In this discussion, Dr. Sikandar Singh (Sri Guru Granth Sahib University, Fatehgarh Sahib) and Dr. Kanwaljeet Singh (Principal, Sri Guru Angad Dev College, Khadur Sahib) shared their views on the topic.
This is a video recording of Dr. Kanwaljeet Singh’s presentation.
