I
am deeply hurt to read about the recent attack on Gurudwara Saheb in
Vizianagaram of Andra Pradesh, India . It is hurting to see the attack
on the faith of Sikh religion. The attackers had no sympathy on the
feelings of minority group of the area. It was more hurting to read
about physical attack on the preachers of the religion. Attackers have
even dared to abuse them with filthily language. The attack has to be
condemned with strongest words.
The attacker's intention to attack on holy worship is
under scrutiny. One has to think that this attack as the result of mere
ignorance of people about Holiness of Gurudwara Saheb. I think those
attackers have no idea about the holy word "Gurdwara". The poor
attackers may not have read about Sri Jap Ji Saheb ji, Those poor
attackers may not have read "Zafaranama". Had they read these two holy
scriptures, then they would not have dared to touch the single stone of
Gurdwara Saheb. Had they read the story of "Sahibzaade", then they could
have bend their head in front of Gurdwara Saheb and go away. There is
every chance that attackers may not have got the Holy Scriptures in
their local language of Telagu. The poor attackers are so poor that they
could not get single "Shabad" of my Guru, therefore I beg to state
"Forgive them God".
The philosophy of Sikhism is based on forgiveness.
From Sri Guru Nanak ji to Sri Guru Gobind Singh ji , all of them have
forgiven sinners. Sri Guru Granth Saheb ji will forgive them. I am sure
the attackers will be forgiven if they realize their mistakes. I am sure
the realization will take place among them. If they do not realize, the
nature is going to teach them a lesson. The Cyclone is going to hit them
so hard in few hours that they will not be able to cope up with the
situation for few months, but I pray for their safety because I know
what "Sarbat Da Bhala" means.
The human being has gone so cheap that he is not
sparing the GOD also. The attack on the place of worship is sign of
declining morality of among human beings. Whenever there is decline of
morality, there is always natural disaster . The punishment of God comes
in the form of natural calamities.
The only way for escaping from such natural calamities
is to respect the feelings of others. The only way to respect others
feelings is to read and understand other's History, other's religious
books. I think we need to translate those historical books and holy
religious books in local languages. I am sure there will be increase in
mutual respect of each other if there is translation of holy books of
all religions . There will be high amount of respect to each other if
they know each others religion well. I think it is our mistake that we
have not yet translated Sikh religion's holy Scripture in local
languages. I am sure if anybody reads the History of Sikhism once, he or
she will bend down the head in front of Gurusikh forever in life, which
means in my view " Sikhism is Humanity" and everyone has to bend down
head informant of Humanity. I again beg to state "Forgive them God" for
not recognizing the humanity and attack Gurudwara Saheb ji.
