Reckless Incident leads to Beabdi of Guru Granth Sahib Ji's Saroop at Gurdwara Dixie
Tuesday 27th of November 2007
Panthic Weekly News Bureau

Brampton, Ontario (KP) – Panthic Weekly has learned from trusted sources that an incident that took place yesterday at the Dixie Gurdwara Sahib has led to severe beadbi of a saroop of Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Despite pressure from local Sangat, the committee members have decided to keep quiet on the matter and no official revelations have been so far.

A sevadar based in Ontario during a phone call informed Panthic Weekly that around 11 PM on November 24, some ‘unidentified’ kids entered the Akhand Path Sahib room (Room #5) and lit the chaur sahib on fire with matches. The fire from the chaur sahib passed down the rumallas and then caught the saroop of Guru Granth Sahib. The saroop was left unattended and still in parkash form although it well late at night. It was also learned that reckless sevadars are often blamed for not doing sukhasan of Guru Granth Sahib Ji’s saroops at night time.

It has not been revealed by the committee members for how long the fire kept burning but it has been learned that when sevadars reached the incident, binding and a major portion of the saroop was completely destroyed. The fire was so severe that it also destroyed the carpet underneath the palki. While this incident took place inside, Sangat in large numbers was present at the Gurdwara Sahib ‘enjoying’ the fireworks display that was going on outside on the day of Gurpurab.

After reaching the spot, the saroop was secretly transferred and locked up in the Sukhasan room. Agan-bhet sevadars were called in the morning and asked to perform saskar of the saroop secretly. Dixie Gurdwara has special machines to cremate birdh saroops, pathis and gutkas. The whole service was performed furtively from the Sangat.

The committee has been approached by local Singhs to reveal more information about the incident but it has decided to not share any information in public. Room #5 has at least three surveillance cameras installed but their footages have also been secreted from the Sangat.

I just found this article on panthic weekly and felt it needed to be shared with the sangat
