Vidiya Daate Dashmesh, Pragate Aap Parmesh
“Vidiya Daate Dashmesh, Pragate Aap Parmesh” is a new slogan introduced by Thakur Dalip Singh Ji.
On the 350th Birth Anniversary of Sri Satguru Gobind Singh Ji, a historical Poet Darbar was organised at Paonta Sahib led by Thakur Dalip Singh ji (Present head of Namdhari Sect). Thakur Ji stated that because Namdharis are also Sikhs of Shri Satguru Gobind Singh Ji, they should celebrate Gurpurab by visiting their Guru's holy places.
Thakur Dalip Singh Ji further emphasised that the distance that Namdhari Sikhs have from their origin, Thakur Ji is linking the Namdhari Sangat with their origin by eliminating those distances since the branches split from the origin cannot remain green for long.
Thakur Ji explained that by having a Poet's Darbar at Punta Sahib, we intended to emphasise this feature of our Tenth Guru that other Sikhs had overlooked. That is Shri Satguru Gobind Singh Ji's secret side - the gift of education (Vidiya Daan) and self-respect. Because Satguru Gobind Singh Ji had 52 poets in his Darbar and composed poetry from them, and he also produced wonderful poetry, and there have never been 52 poets in the darbar of any monarch afterwards. There were just 52 poets in our Satguru Ji's darbar. Satguru Ji personally educated Sikhs by writing poems, composing from poets, and interpreting old scriptures, and he motivated Sikhs to become intellectuals. Sri Satguru Gobind Singh ji initiated the dissemination of education from Paonta Sahib. That is why we are commemorating the Gur Purab of the Tenth Guru Ji at the birth spot of Vidiya Prachar "as a benefactor of education".
Reading Satguru ji's poetry, Bir Ras, gave downtrodden Indians a feeling of self-respect, and they battled the oppressors. Thakur Ji continued by adding, "Satguru Gobind Singh Ji was the provider of education. That is why everybody who believes in Dashmesh Ji should study himself and impart as much Vidiya to his entire family as feasible (especially his daughters). Make your whole family a scholar since only academics dominate, only scholars handle commerce, and only scholars are decorated with high positions. As a result, all of you should become academics and spread the name of your country, sect, and Satguru Ji across the world. Whoever studies the Sikhs with devotion to the tenth Guru, Satguru Gobind Singh Ji, will find enormous delight".
He also stated that the Sikh Panth should not argue about the Dasam Granth Sahib, but that all academics should get down and come to an agreement. By contesting Dasam Bani, the Sangat's commitment is dwindling and the panth is losing ground. It is worth thinking that Satguru Gobind Singh Ji had brought everyone together, he had closed the distance with Baba Ram Rai Ji by bringing him close to Mata Ram Quir Ji. That is why we are trying to connect all Guru Nanak Naam Lewa by following the achievements of Satguru Ji. Tenth Guru Ji will do kindness.
During this event, Thakur Dalip Singh Ji prayed at the feet of Shri Satguru Gobind Singh Ji, along with the attendees, Satguru Ji provide us the tremendous gift of education and self-respect, so that we might establish Khalsa sovereignty over the whole globe.
