Bhai Baldev Singh Wadala Sends Message of Unity on Vaisakhi

:dateline:In a message shared with Sikh24, Bhai Baldev Singh Wadala asked the Sikhs to rise above controversies and work to free Sikh institutions from the control of corrupt political leaders. �Bhai Baldev Singh Wadala said that anti-Sikh agencies were working to split the Sikh diaspora. �He warned the Sikh Sangat to remain careful and not lose sight of Panthik goals. �A translation of Bhai Wadala’s message is being shared below –

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Vaisakhi greetings to the entire Panth.

Khalsa Ji, if we become apathetic, our enemy will use various tactics to cause rifts within�our community.� Our enemy knows that the diaspora plays an important role in upholding Sikh rights.� They know this from the history of the Komagatu Maru.� Just like our forefathers fought for freedom from the West, they know that the diaspora is still standing steadfast for Sikh rights.�

Seeing that the Panth is already going through harsh times, our enemy has now sent its people to stir up controversies.�

Khalsa Ji, this is not the time to resolve these controversies.� Our enemy wants us to keep fighting internally, however this is the time to remain careful because our condition is very�fragile.� Let�s free our five Takhts, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbhandhak Committee and revive the Sarbat Khalsa tradition.� This is the need of the hour.

We need to resolve all our internal issues as per Guru Sahib�s hukam “??? ????? ????? ???? ??? ?????? ???? ???? ??? ??? ?” �Let�s resolve and promise on this Khalsa �Sajna Divas� that we don�t need worldly status or positions, we just need to work as sevadars of the Panth.� Let�s resolve to not let our internal egos separate us.� Let�s promise to put aside our differences and work solely for the Panth.

If we do this, only then we can proclaim that we are fully committed to the Khalsa Panth.� Only then will the Panth be able to rejoice.

Lately, controversial issues, such as those regarding�Sri Dasam Granth and Raag Mala, are�being�discussed and disagreed upon on social media. However, last year at village Chabba, one of the resolutions passed at Sarbat Khalsa was to refrain from discussing such controversial issues. �However, despite the resolution passed by Sarbat Khalsa, and earlier appeals from�Akal Takht Sahib, these issues have once again come to forefront for�the Sikh community living in the West.

Bhai Baldev Singh Wadala is currently on tour in�the United States. �He is doing kirtan at Gurdwara Sahib Stockton and holding special divans for Vaisakhi.
