Sanatan Singh Sabha

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sanatan Singh Sabha is a Sikh organization formed by some traditional Sikhs (called Sanatan Sikhs) in 1873. The Sanatan Singh Sabha regards Sikhs to be Hindus by the definition that a "Hindu" is someone who practices karma and bhakti (of God) in any way for the achievement of Moksha. A Sikh that practices Hinduism is known as a Sanatan Sikh. Because of their view that Sikhs are Hindus, Sanatan Sikhs are largely considered to be heretics and blasphemers. There is a large group of Hindus, mainly from Punjab, that follows Sikhism, believing that the Guru Granth Sahib is the fifth Veda.^[1] Many Sikhs also worship in Hindu mandirs, and participate in Hindu rituals.

A rival organization called Tat Khalsa (True Khalsa) Singh Sabha was organized by a rival group at Lahore in 1879 [also called Lahore Singh Sabha], and it maintains that it is impossible to be both a Hindu and a Sikh.

A number of local organizations called "Singh Sabha" have been formed in a number of cities, and are affiliated with the Tat Khalsa.
