Shameless leaders Kirpal Bandugar, Jagiro, Parkash Badal, and Avtar Makkar 'honour' anti-Sikh Arya leader swami Agnivesh.
Agnivesh had issued a statement earlier that blasphemous text (which was written against the Sikh Gurus) would be removed from the 'Satyarth Prakash', afterwards the swami declined.
Background
The Founder of Arya Samaj Swami Daya Nand Saraswati was a 'sanyasi' and a so-called social worker who insulted prophets and founders of many religions with foul and offensive language. In an uncivilized way he wrote about Guru Sahib, Guru Granth Sahib, the five kakkars and Sikh principals and crossed all the social limits in attempting to insult them.
Swami Daya Nand writes on page 585 in his book '…all of the religions tried to prove that they are right and have truth. Some says our Kabir is right, some Nanak, some Dadu, some Valabh, some Sahajanand, some Madhav. Some are saying that they were great and try to prove that they were real prophets. I determined that none of them can be followed as a Guru. For example, a corrupt shopkeeper, prostitute and pimp try to promote their offerings and condemn others and they are the same like them…' (585)
It doesn't stop there. In Sadoor, Assam a tribe called 'vammargi' who have five Makkaars (vices or rituals) meen which means fish, methon means sexuality, madira means sharab or liquor, mudra means money, and mas means meat. Swami compares these with the five kakkaars of the Sikhs and writes :
'Like vammargi's five makkaars, chandrakrito had started five sanskaar (rituals) thats how these five kakkars were to be used only in battle...that is why this tradition was adopted by Guru Gobind Singh at that time. At present there is no use of keeping them (kakkars)...' (546)
His views about Guru Granth Sahib Ji expressed his low thinking and jealousy towards Guru Ji. 'Guru Govind Singh was their tenth, after him no other literature was entered in the Granth, but rather small books were collected and binded into one.'
Actually Smami Dya Nand's final goal and aim was that Sikhs should not abandon his 'saroop' (form). Now to honour such an organization that is continually preaching these evil things is not that a total disrespect to the Guru?
