I am forwarding your request for books to the author S, Kirpal Singh Ji -A renowned Journal of Punjab. The book is just released and we have not yet a copy of the book yet. You may send your request along with your mailing address in Ottawa, to S. Kirpal Singh and he will mail the books to you.
S. Kirpal Singh Ji has sent his book for review to some of our Calendar experts, and my friend S.Sarbjit Singh from California is going to send me the pdf copy that was sent to him by the author for review. I will be able to send you that pdf copy tomorrow.
I plan to send the information to three Punjabi book shops in Brampton asking them to bring some copies for selling. All the Gurdwaras in North America are going to acquire these books to provide Authentic and Factual information on Sikh History that has been muddied by the Anparrdh Jathedars and Sikh Leaders It has been more than thirty years that these Sikh Leaders have created BHAMBAL BUSSAI to Amritsar and Delhi. There is no limit to their ANDH Vishvaas (Blind Faith in Falsehoods.
They Preach about the Supremacy of the Institution of Akal Takhat Sahib, but THEMSELVES DO NOT believe in the Supremacy of Akal Takhat Sahib, That is how THE SIKH SANGAT LOST THE TRUST IN THESE SELFISH SIKH LEADERS and so-called Jathedars. It is a Shame that our leaders are still entangled in the same Biparbaad that our Beloved Guru Sahib Tried so hard to get us out of the SLAVERY OF BIPARBAAD. I remember, when in the year 2003 SGPC adopted the LAME AND CRIPPLED NANAKSHAHI Calendar in 2003, the RSS Chief in AGRA immediately rejected and challenged that they will never let this Calendar be adopted by the Sikhs. For SEVEN Years THAT LAME, CRIPPLED Calendar remained in Vogue all over the world without any problem, when suddenly in January 2010 Mr. Avtar Makkar, Mr. Harnam Dhuma, Mr. Gurbachan Singh JHOOTHA and all their DERA SADS unilaterally and FRAUDULENTLY Cancelled the Lame & Limited Nanakshahi Calendar By keeping the NAME NANAKSHAHI BUT TRECHERPOSLY thrusting the Biparbadi Gurpurab dates inside, It appears that The Free Golak Money on which these Sikh Leaders are dependent for their livelihood have been polluted, corrupted degraded minds of our Sikh Leaders, and they enjoy the SLAVERY OF BIPARBAAD and its various branches like RSS/BJP/Hindutva etc.
In Gurbani Guru, Sahib Ji instructed us in many ways to instruct others before practising those intrusions in your own life. Some of those instructions can be read in the following Gurbani Verses:
ਆਪਿ ਕਮਾਉ ਅਵਰਾ ਉਪਦੇਸ ॥ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਪਰਵੇਸ ॥੩॥
ਆਪਿ ਕਮਾਉ ਅਵਰਾ ਉਪਦੇਸ ॥ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਪਰਵੇਸ ॥੩॥ ਗਉੜੀ (ਮਃ ੫) ਗੁਰੂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ - ੧੮੫
ਅਵਰ ਉਪਦੇਸੈ ਆਪਿ ਨ ਕਰੈ ॥ ਆਵਤ ਜਾਵਤ ਜਨਮੈ ਮਰੈ ॥

If all Gursikhs are to abide by the Decisions of the Khalsa Panth then it becomes equally necessary for the Sikh Leaders and the Jathadars to abide by that rule. One wonders why the Unanimous decision taken upon the recommendations of the Eleven member Calendar Committee can not be put into practice in April 1999 -The tercentenary of the Khala? Why just a handful of Politically appointed were allowed to Fradulaently cancel the Nanakshhi Calendar of 2003 without any consultation?
In the year 2003, Mrs.Ealanor Nesbit wrote a book on "Sikhism" describing the whole story of how Bibi Jagir Kaur was Excommunicated by Puran Singh then the Author wrote that Now Sikhs have adopted their own Calendar, the HINDUTVA will not be able to SUBSUME SIKHISM INTO HINDUISM as the did with Boddhies and Jainies etc. It is very sad and Regrettable that Sikhs do not understand GURBANI TEACHINGS and continue to believe in ASHUBH months that are an integral part of the Hindu Bikrami Calendar. IT IS A SHAMEFUL SAGA. that Sikhs in North America have to register a Patent on Mool Nanakshahi Calendar at Chicago in order to sue those who want to DISTORT Orignal Mool Nanakshahi Calendar to be able to bring the culprits to justice who try to perpetuate the FRAUD that that did in 2010. Our Jathedars have completely ignored the Gurbani Teachings on the most important matter of Mool Nanakshahi Calendar and made A MOCKERY OF THIS MATTER. It had been thirty years Since I have been asking these Jathedars in Writing as well as long-distance telephone calls without getting any response. There are no words SUDEE OR VADEE in relation to the day of months anywhere in Gurbani. But these Jathedars want to follow Biparbadee REETS (RITES).
All they know is to EXCOMMUNICATE GURSIKHS without keeping in mind the Gurbani Teachings, The Concept of Excommunication has been copied from Christian and other religions. They are using that Excuse to oppress Gursikhs. Now many Gursikhs do not CARE about these Jathedars giving us the fear of ExCommunication based on lies not in accordance with Gurbani Teachings. They would pardon a Scoundrel Jhootha Sauda Baba who never asked for forgiveness and these Jathedars will just Forgive them on their own. Religious Principles are over and above the political interests of individuals, but they have reversed the process altogether. There has been a serious DERELICTION OF DUTY ON THE PART OF SIKH LEADERS AT AMRITSAR AND DELHI ON THE MOST IMPORTANT MATTER OF THE KHALSA PANTH DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE FREEDOMS AND INDEPENDENCE OF THE GURU PANTH THAT HAVE BEEN IGNORED BY OUR JATHEDARS AND SIKH LEADERS. They Think that all Sikhs live in now tiny Punjab only and Sikhs all over the world who need not have any representation on Panthic issues!?
I wrote two long letters to SGPC and their Jathedars in 2015 that I shared with many other Gursikhs, but these leaders at Amritsar never replied to my letters. I can keep on writing pages and pages on the Calendar matter but there is no use wasting time on the deaf ears of our Sikh Leaders. I distributed those letters widely since 2015, without any response from SGPC and its leaders.
Calculation of time is invented by Humans that have changed from observation of Stars and planets to Sun shadow to Atomic Clocks today measuring millions of a second., Gurbani teaches Sikhs,"SOIEE WAKHAT SUHAVRRA JIT PRABH AWAI CHITu" One can read all the Gurbani verses regarding Vela Wakhat in my letter of 2015 that were ignored by our Jathedars.
