 Created
as it is by the great warrior Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib ji,
Sri Akal Takht is the nucleus of an all-embracing and
outonomous Panthic power. Baba Budha Ji and Bhai
Gurdas raised this celestial fabric with their unctuous
hands. Politics and religion, designated as they are as
miri-piri, bhagati-shakti, symbolise the divine seance of
the dyad. Sri Akal Takht has gone a long way in
promoting the sentiment of self-respect, freedom in relation
to original Gurmat ideas and dauntlessness of the being in any
situation. To be sure, the Almighty God 'Himself' has
established this divine Takht so that one man may not
strive to enslave another in the name of caste or religion;
country or race, and each man may have the option to lead his
life according as his own point of view is. History testifies
to the fact that for the realisation of this goal, the
struggle as it was launched right from the eighteenth century
under the guidance of Sri Akal Takht continues unabated
to this day. Whenever and wherever human freedom and
self-respect were at stake, the Gursikhs sought
inspiration from Akal Takht Sahib. Rightly enough, they
bore in mind and upheld the sentiments of a righteous dharma.
Echoes of high-spiritedness of the Khalsa and the
slogan: 'The Khalsa shall rule...' rise from within
Sri Akal Takht Sahib and resonate in the sky. From time to
time, this very resonance has been striking a terror and
shaking the powers that be in their shoes. Indubitably, with a
view to crushing the Holy of the Holies Sri Akal Takht
Sahib, its ideals and sentiments, every possible mean has
been adopted but bootless. Strangely enough, governments have
been devoured by the time with a careless gesture. Not a trace
is left behind. On the other hand, the saffron flag of Sri
Akal Takht Sahib has been ever hoisting and touching skyey
heights.
Every Gursikh prays to the Almighty for the safety of
the khalsa Panth and upholds its lofty ideas.
His guardian is Sri Akal Takht Sahib. It is for this
reason that any commandment issued from Sri Akal Takht
Sahib is welcomed by every Gursikh. |
