Inner Strength - 3
Baba Garhaji bada Zahraji is a grave of a Muslim near my village on Khadoor Sahib- Tarn Taran Road. The belief has been spread that if you are in any kind of difficulty this majar Baba who died centuries ago will solve because he knows you are in trouble and if you are out of the trouble you promise to bring Alcohol as offering on this majar. Every June thousands of people gather for this Urs of Majar and offer Alcohol. There is a sort of village fair with lots of stall of mithai, toys and all the things usually done in Melas of this kind. There is also a stage for the cheap type of dancing by girls on loud music. Men get drunk unlimited because the Prasad here is Alcohol. Prominent Sikhs of the village collect money for langar. Once I happen to pass from there and my blood was boiling to see all this utter nonsense and #Sikhs enjoying their own degradation, -drunk out of control. What are we teaching to our new generation? There are around 6-7 such majars where people call for #GranthSahib recitation. The communication between the intellectuals and rural folk is completely broken. We need another Guru Singh Sabha movement to bring back people from this degradation.
