These resolutions were presented by S. Amarjit Singh Victoria, S.Mandeep Singh Vernon and S. Sukhwinder Singh Winnipeg. Resolution 1: For the entire Sikh nation only Guru Granth Sahib is supreme. Singh Sabha International recognizes the supremacy of the one and only Guru Granth Sahib. Besides, it completely rejects any other granth, such as Bachittar Natak also named Dasam Granth, Sarab Loh Granth, Gobind Gita, Sikhan Di Bhagatmaal falsely ascribed to Bhai Mani Singh, Gian Ratnavali, Janam Sakhi Bhai Bala, Sahansarnama, Gurbilas Patshahi Chhevin, Pransangli, etc., the granths about whose authorship no information is available, and makes a strong appeal to all the Gurdwara committees of the world to get the narration of Raj Kavi Bhai Santokh Singh's Gur Partap Surj Granth discontinued. Resolution 2: Akal Takhat's concept and Jathedar. Guru Granh Sahib Ji is the fulcrum of Sikhi. That is why only Guru Granth Sahib is supreme for the Sikh nation. To call Akal Bunga, which is called Akal Takhat these days, supreme is to lower the respect and prestige of Guru Granth Sahib Ji. According to Sikh history and in view of the Sikh principles the so-called Akal Takhat Jathedar's position proves to be supposititous. Therefore, today this gathering totally abolishes this anti-panthic position. Resolution 3: Deras, Taksalas and Thathan. ivdvwnw vwsqy igawni Sbd di kiqi vrqon kuqwhi nhin hovygi[ A`j dw iek`t nkli smsqwvw qy PrzI AhuidAW ƒ jvhon r`d krdw hy[ -0- To estabsh any sect, to establish a Dera or a Thath, to establish a Taksal or a Sant Samaj is contrary to Sikh philosophy. In Sikhi there is no place for words like so-called Sadh-Sant, Mahanpurakh, Singh Sahib and Brahm-Giani, etc. To use the word Giani for scholars will not be a lapse.

37 35 omen, have since antiquity been symbols of love, faith, Whonor, motherhood, strength, and devotion. Nature has bestowed women with many aspects to her physical and psychological being that make her different from men. These differences between genders ought to be celebrated, and it is because of these differences that men and women are inherently unequal. However, despite natural inequality, should women not be treated as fairly as men? Historically this has not been the case, and even today we have to wonder if women are truly respected and treated fairly in their homes, workplace, social settings, and overall society. When contemplating what to write about on the topic of women and Gurmat I could not help but notice that there is a wide gap between Guru Nanak Sahib Ji's ideology of how they ought to be treated, and how it is actually practiced today. While I am saddened by this realization, as many of you may be, I hope to highlight in this article what some of the reasons for this may be, and how change may be insinuated. The exalted status that Guru Nanak Sahib th Ji gave women in the 15 century was nothing short of revolutionary at a time when they were oppressed and considered inferior to men. Horrific social practices at this time, were actually crimes against women. Sati, a custom in the Hindu tradition encouraged and even forced women to burn alive and die on the funeral pyre of their husbands. Parda, a social practice prevalent in the Muslim communities compelled women to cover themselves in front of men for the sake of modesty. The practice of Jauhar was common during Guru Nanak Sahib Ji's time as well in which queens and female royals burned themselves alive when their kingdom faced defeat at the hands of an enemy. Further, in many Indian communities women were considered impure since they menstruate, and particularly during their menstruation were forbidden entry into temples and participation in religious practices. Guru Nanak Sahib Ji emphasized that purity was a spiritual state in which one's mind is filled with love of virtue, as opposed to mere physical cleanliness. On Ank 472 of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji he writes: ijau joru isrnwvxi AwvY vwro vwr] As a woman has her periods, month after month, juty jutw muik vsy inq inq hoie KuAwru] so does falsehood dwell in the mouth of the false; they suffer forever, again and again. sucy eyih n AwKIAih bhin ij ipmfw Doie] They are not called pure, who sit down after merely washing their bodies. sucy syei nwnkw ijn min visaw soie]2] Only they are pure, O Nanak, within whose minds the Lord abides. 2 Centuries after Guru Nanak Sahib Ji's time, I cannot help but wonder how much we have advanced in our perception and expectation of how women should behave and be treated. Prevalent today in many homes where a daughter resides is the obligation to give some form of dowry when she gets married. The converse is also true; where families of sons still often expect some form of dowry from the parents of their daughter-in-law to be. In families where there are mainly or only female children, a sense of pathos, pity, and helplessness is often projected by friends, relatives and the parents themselves. Moreover, female children are seldom considered rightful inheritors along with male siblings of their parents' wealth. This promotes the idea that she is less important than her male siblings and supports the concept of her being considered pariah dhan. If property, wealth, and the responsibility of parents' care was divided equally among children irrespective of their gender, perhaps there would be less cause for lament, for those that feel so, when daughters are born. On Ank 605 of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Guru Ram Das Ji writes: sib Gt Awpy BogvY ipawrw ivic nwri purk sbu soie] The Beloved Himself enjoys every heart; He is contained within every woman and man. In light of this Shabad, if God is truly contained equally in every woman and man, then why are women treated and perceived so differently than men? Selfreflection is the foundation of Sikh Philosophy and is necessary for change to Kamaldeep Kaur Winnipeg, Canada kamalonkar61@gmail.com occur. Guru Arjan Sahib Ji emphasizes the importance of self-reflection in his shabad on Ank 259, rosu n kwhu smg krhu Awpn Awpu bicwir] which means Do not be angry with anyone else; look within your own self instead. Some important questions to ponder in order to foster change within ourselves are what are the expectations we have of women in our lives? How many of those expectations are simply because they are a woman? What choices can we make that showcase women as having inherent worth? What can we change in our thought process and behavior in order to treat women with respect, and fairness? How can they be more included in conversations and settings that are male-dominated? How can we teach women in our own personal spheres to see their femininity as a gift rather than as an aspect that limits them? I personally believe that change begins with the self, whether we are hopeful of seeing it in our families, social circle, community, or world. The reason why there is still a gap between Guru Nanak Sahib Ji's teachings on many subjects in life, and the way they are practiced, is because somewhere down the road (and not very far along) people stopped reflecting on what is right and instead went along with the social norms prevalent in society. Perhaps a pivotal question that we must ask ourselves at this stage is do we want to live in a world that is more just, safe, and non-discriminating? We play a role in the world being or not being a certain way and have the capability to commit to different perceptions and different behavior. Benefitting from this change are not just our mothers, sisters, wives, and daughters but our fathers, brothers, husbands and sons too, since learning how to respect each other is at the heart of what it means to be a good human being. -0-

38 36 Introduction: No religion has accorded the same respect and equality to the woman as have Sikh Gurus as is shown in the chapter on women below from the book Gurmat: Guru Nanak's Path of Enlightenment, by Dr. Baldev Singh, published by Khalsa Tricentennial Foundation of North America Inc. in Unfortunately reality is very different and does not pass the test that Gurus laid out in practice. Gurbani & Sikh Reht Maryada some contradictions: Quotes from Guru Granth Sahib: eyku ipqw eyks ky hm bwirk qu myrw gur hwei] The One God is our father; we are the children of the One God. You are our Guru. GGS Page 611 nw ko byri nhi ibgwnw sgl smig hm kau bin AweI]1] No one is my enemy, and no one is a stranger. I get along with everyone. GGS Page 1299 Both quotes above are from the Bani of Fifth Nanak, Guru Arjan Dev Ji. Guru Ji is stressing that whole Human Race is one big Family. Guru Nanak preached the same thing to his Hindu, Buddhist, Jain and Muslim audiences in India and the Middle East and to the Christian and Jewish audiences whom he must have come across during his visit to Mecca, Medina and Baghdad. Scientific research on human origins confirms the same thing. In fact it even pin points the origin of the human race to an 'African Mother'. Quotes from 'Sikh Reht Maryada: The Code of Sikh Conduct & Conventions', Published by Dharam Parchar Committee Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee December 2000 (English version) Only a Sikh may perform kirtan in a congregation. (Chapter V Article VI c) p.15 A Sikh daughter must be married to a Sikh. (Chapter XI Article XVIII b) p.26 Two questions arise: 1. Why the distinction between daughter and son when Gurbani gives both sexes an equal status? There is no restriction placed on male Sikh. 2. If all of humanity is the child of one God then why discriminate between sexes and in the name of religion, which is manmade? Gurcharan Singh Tohra who presided over Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee for a quarter century was once asked by American Sikh Women why the women were not allowed to perform kirtan at Darbar Sahib nor were they allowed to do any other sewa at that place. His answer was that that has become a tradition. It was of no consequence to him that the person whose institutions he was managing had broken all the centuries old traditions of the Hindu faith that he was born into. Maryadas (established traditions) that Guru Nanak rejected: Guru Nanak was born into a Hindu household but with that faith Sikhism shares almost nothing, not even the concept of One God. At a very young age Nanak refused to wear the janeu (Hindu sacred thread worn by high caste males); discarded the caste system (a religiously sanctioned discrimination still entrenched st in the 21 century democratic India); preached against idol worship; recognized the equality of mankind; asserted the equality of men and women; condemned the Hindu practice of Sati (live immolation of widow on her husband's funeral pyre); instructed the women to discard veil; allowed widow and widower remarriage; rejected the then prevalent concepts of karma, after life salvation, tapasya, heaven and hell (after death), incarnation, 84 lakh juni (8,400,000 life forms) yatra to holy places, fasting, multiple gods and goddesses; and of Hardev Singh Shergill editor@sikhbulletin.com course, unique only to Sikhism, wished 'sarbat da bhala' (wishing well being of all, not just of oneself, one's own family or one's own country) in his prayers. An example from my own family that would be typical of all other Sikh families: Although Gurus preached equality of man and woman in reality the Sikhs indulged in the same discrimination as the rest of the Indian society that traditionally preferred a male child. In our own family my great grandparents had only sons, three of them. Eldest, my grandfather had two sons and one daughter whose survival was attributed to the tenacity of my grandmother assisted by the fact that she moved away from her mother in law while my aunt was a toddler. The middle brother, with whom our great grandmother spent all her life, had only three sons. But the youngest brother, who had moved to the same village where his eldest brother, my grandfather lived, had four sons and three daughters. My parents had ten children, five boys and five girls, but for our mother we were all her children, not sons and daughters. She herself came from a family with four daughters and one son. So the fate of the women depended upon the accident of their birth. At this time the male female ratios in Panjab, the homeland of the Sikhs, is no different from the rest of the country that favours males over females. Exaltation of Woman: From the book Gurmat: Guru Nanak's Path of Enlightenment, by Dr. Baldev Singh, The superimposition of Muslim patriarchal culture over Hindu patriarchal culture pushed the Indian women to the lowest levels of social order. It was the

39 pathetic condition of women and the downtrodden (sudras and untouchables) to which Guru Nanak responded by pouring out his concern and sympathy and openly declaring his solidarity with them. It was woman who was neechee hoo at neech (lowest of the lowest) in the society: nicw AMdir nic jwiq nici hu Aiq nicu] nwnku iqn ky smig swiq vifaw isau ikaw ris] ijqy nic smwliain iqqy nidr qyri bksis] Nanak will stand by the lowest of lowest, not with the elite. Societies that take care of the downtrodden have the blessing of God. AGGS, M 1, p. 15. rmnw hoeiaw bodiaw purs hoey seiawd] silu smjmu suc BMnI Kwxw Kwju Ahwju] srmu gieaw Gr AwpxY piq auit cli nwil] nwnk scw eyku hy Aauru n scw Bwil] Women have lost their vitality and become submissive and men have become brutal and oppressive. Politeness, soberness (self-control) and sincerity have vanished and dishonest living has become the way of life of the elite. The sense of shame and honor has disappeared from the society. O Nanak, there is only one True One, do not look for another. AGGS, M 1, p He questioned and condemned religious beliefs and social customs that discriminate against women and held the custodians of society responsible for the degradation of women: BMif jmmiay BMif inmmiay BMif mmgxu viawhu] BMfhu hovy dosqi BMfhu cly rwhu] BMfu muaw BMfu BwlIAY BMiF hovy bmdwnu] so ikau mmdw AwKIAY ijq jmmih rwjwn] BMfhu hi BMfu aupjy BMfY bwju n koie ] nwnk BMfY bwhrw eyko scw soie] ijqu muik sdw swlwhiay Bwgw rqi cwir] nwnk qy muk aujly iqqu scy drbwir] It is woman who gives birth to a child. It is she who conceives and nourishes the fetus inside her womb. It is woman whom man betroths and marries. It is woman whose company he seeks. It is she who nurtures and sustains the human race. When his wife dies, a man seeks another one. It is she through whom relations are established. How could she, who gives birth to kings/great men, be considered inferior? It is she who gives birth to another woman. No one could be born without woman. O Nanak, only the True One is independent of woman. Whosoever, whether man or woman sings the glory of God is blessed with joy and beauty. Nanak, such faces will be radiant in the court of the True One. AGGS, M 1, p This hymn is a rebuke to the patriarchal culture, as it is addressed to men, especially rulers/leaders who were the guardians of the socio-religious order. Further, he declares that woman is the hub of humanity, the lifeline of humanity. It is woman who conceives, it is woman who nurtures humanity from birth to death. Moreover, he puts woman at the apex of human evolution by declaring that only God is independent of woman. To sink deeper Guru Nanak's message in a suffocating and corrosive patriarchal society, Guru Amar Das [3rd Nanak] declared female and male equality in a very forceful way: iesu jg mih purku eyk hy hor sgli nwir sbwei] sib Gt BogvY Ailpqu rhy AlKu n lkxw jwei ] In this world there is one Husband, all other beings are His brides. He enjoys being in all hearts and yet He remains d e t a c h e d. H e i s i n v i s i b l e a n d indescribable. AGGS, M 3, p Further the Guru denounced the inhuman practice of sati (burning of a living woman on her husband's funeral pyre), illtreatment of women and female infanticide: sqiaw eyih n AwKIAin jo mivaw lig jlminh] nwnk sqiaw jwxiain ij ibrhy cot mrminh] A sati is not the one who burns herself on the funeral pyres of her husband. O Nanak, she alone is sati for whom the agony due to separation from her husband is like death. AGGS, M 3, p BI so sqiaw jwxiain sil smqok rhminh ] syvin swei Awpxw inq auit smmwhlminh ] She is also a sati who abides in modesty and contentment, and loves her husband and gets up daily to take care of the family. AGGS, M 3, p kmqw nwil mhyliaw syqi Aig jlwih ] jy jwxih ipru Awpxw qw qin duk shwih ] 37 nwnk kmq n jwnxi sy ikau Aig jlwih ] BwvY jivau ky mrau durhu hi Bij jwih ] Wives struggle and face hardships in life along with their husbands. They endure physical pain because they love their husbands. O Nanak, if the husband does not care for his wife and is unconcerned whether she is happy or miserable then why should she suffer for him? AGGS, M 3, p brhmx kyli Gwqu km\kw AxcwrI kw Dwnu ] iptk iptkw kov bdiaw sdw sdw ABmwnu ] The Brahman worships the cow but approves the killing of innocent young girls and accepts food/donations from evil doers. Shame on such a Brahman! He is afflicted with the leprosy of vices, and yet he is filled with the egotistical pride of caste superiority forever and ever. AGGS, M 3, p Furthermore, it is remarkable that in the sacred hymns of the AGGS there are roughly 100 verses starting with the word mother whereas the hymns starting with the word father number about twenty. This is quite amazing considering the patriarchal cultural milieu of the Guru's time when the mention of women was absent in public discourses and she was looked down upon as an impediment in the path of the spiritual growth of a man. Besides, God is gender neutral, both man and woman and Its creative aspect is portrayed as that of a mother: Awpy purku Awpy hi nwri] God is both man and woman. AGGS, M 1, p qum myrw ipqw qum hy myrw mwqw ] qum myrw bmdpu qum myrw BRwqw ] You (God) are my father, You are my mother, You are my relative and You are my sibling. AGGS, M 5, p Awpuny jia jmq priqpwry] ijau bwirk mwqw smmwry] God takes care of all Its creatures, the way a mother nurtures her children. AGGS, M 5, p Furthermore, the Gurus condemned polygamy and approved only of monogamy:

40 38 kwmu krod prhr pr inmdw ] lbu lobu qij hohu inicmdw ] Control your lust and anger, and renounce slandering others. Giving up greed and possessiveness brings peace of mind. AGGS, M 1, p kwmvmq kwmi bhu nwri pr igrh joh n cuky] The lustful and lecherous desires many women and never stops peeking into others' homes. AGGS, M 5, p pr Dn pr dwrw isau rice ibrqw jnmu isrwvy] The manmukh (self-centered man) wastes away his life devouring others' wealth and in sexual pleasure with others' women. AGGS, M 9, p binqw Coif bd nidr pr nwri] vyis n pweiay mhw duikawri] A mere religious garb won't bring salvation to the one (yogi) who leaves his wife and then covets another's. Such a person faces much suffering. AGGS, M 5, p pr Dn pr dwrw pr inmdw ien isau priq invwir] Renounce slandering others and coveting another's wife and wealth. AGGS, M 5, p In addition to the caste system, it is the overemphasis on the ascetic and celibate life in Indian religious traditions that sanctifies the denigration and dehumanization of women. She is looked upon as an impediment in the spiritual growth of a man. On the other hand, N a n a k i a n p h i l o s o p h y ( G u r m a t ) categorically rejects life-negating doctrines. It advocates and emphasizes the householder life as the right way to realize God and to contribute to society. The Gurus elevated marriage from the temporal level to the spiritual union of the couple. Fidelity between the couple is the core of marriage according to Gurmat: hsmidaw KylMidAw pynmhidaw KwvMidAw ivcy hovy mukiq ] One could attain liberation while enjoying life (laughing, playing, eating good food and wearing good clothes). AGGS, M 5, p Dn ipru eyih n AwKIAin bihn iekty hoie] eyk joiq duie murqi Dn ipru khiay soie] Mere performance of worldly duties does not make a couple wife and husband, rather it is the spiritual union between the two, which makes them wife and husband. AGGS, M 3, p Furthermore, it is to be noted that when referring to marriage in the AGGS, the Gurus used the word wife not wives like Dn (dhan), dwrw (daara), binqw (banita), klqr (klatr), suhwgwx (suhagan), sulkxi (sulakhani), nwri (nari), kwmix (kaman), mumd (mund); all these words are singular. For a Sikh, monogamous lifestyle is not only a social requirement but also a spiritual one. Bhai Gurdas, who was Guru Amar Das' nephew and an amanuensis for Adi Granth, confirms about a Sikh being a monogamous while describing the attributes of a Sikh: eykw nwri jqi hoie pr nwri DI BYx vkwxy] A Sikh/gurmukh practices monogamy and remains faithful to his wife and respects other women as daughter and sister. Bhai Gurdas, Varan Bhai Gurdas, 6, p. 53. dyik prweiaw cmgiaw mwvw BYxW DIAW jwxy] A Sikh/gurmukh considers other women as noble and respects them as his mother, sister and daughter. Bhai Gurdas, Varan Bahi Gurdas, 29, p a. Role of Women in the Sikh Revolution Discrimination against women in employment, their sexual exploitation, their battering, their rapes and murders are reported in the news on a daily basis in the United States of America where I have lived since In our male-dominated world of hegemonic patriarchal culture, there is widespread discrimination, persecution and exploitation of women not to exclude the religious communities including the Sikhs, who are beset with the pathology inherited from Hindu patriarchal culture superimposed by Muslim patriarchal culture. A vast majority of Sikhs of today are descendants of so-called Sultani-Hindus, Hindus who were moving away from their temples to the mosque, whose allegiance and devotion was shifting away from gods and goddesses to pirs and fakirs (Muslim holy men), during the 18th and 19th centuries [1]. The Sikh revolution/movement developed in a very corrosive patriarchal cultural environment adversely impacted by the oppression of Muslim rulers coupled with equally oppressive and dehumanizing caste system. So it is not difficult to imagine what would have been the reaction of Indian society towards open involvement of women in the Sikh movement. Further due to the notion of woman as the family honor and the heightened concern for their safety, women were confined to the sanctuary of their homes. Furthermore, in the 500 years of Sikh history, there is less than 100 years of Sikh rule when the Sikhs did not face religious persecution. Even in India after 1947 the Hindu Government led by Jawaharlal Nehru declared Sikhs as Hindus under clause 25 of the Indian Constitution and imposed the Hindu Code on them. When we examine Sikh history dispassionately we find that Sikh women played a major role in the Sikh revolution which has gone unnoticed by Sikhs themselves and by historians as well. For example, other than their teachings (Gurmat) there is scant personal reference to the Sikh Gurus and their activities in AGGS. However, there is a laudatory mention of Guru Angad's wife, Mata (mother) Khivi for her excellent management of the langar (community kitchen) and dedicated service to the sangat (Sikh congregation): blvmf KIvI nyk jn ijsu bhuqi Cwau pqrwli] lmgir dauliq vmfiay rsu AMimRqu KIir igawli] pey kbulu KsMm nwil jw Gwl mrdi GwlI ] mwqw KIvI shu soie ijin goie autwli ] Balvand, Khivi was an exalted lady. Like a dense shady tree, she was the source of tremendous comfort to the congregation. She served nutritious food in the langar-- pudding made with butter that tasted like nectar. Like her husband (Guru Angad), who was chosen by Guru Nanak as his successor, she too worked very hard with great dedication. Mata (mother) Khivi and

41 her husband took upon their shoulders the enormous responsibility of Guru Nanak's mission. AGGS, Balvand and Satta, p Notwithstanding the absence of their names in Sikh history, it is amply clear that the Gurus' mothers, wives, sisters and daughters were active participants in the Sikh movement. For example, Guru Hargobind and Guru Gobind Singh were very young when they assumed Guruship after the execution of their respective fathers by the Muslim rulers and Guru Har Krishan was a mere child of five when he took over as Guru after the death of his father. What was the major influence on these Gurus at that very critical period in Sikh history when the Sikh movement was under attack not only from the Muslin rulers, but more so from other dangerous foes, the schismatic groups and the proponents of caste ideology? The answer, of course, is the influence of their mothers: Mata Ganga, Mata Gujri and Mata Krishan Kaur, respectively. Further, it was Mata Sundri (Jito), wife of Guru Gobind Singh, who guided the Panth (Sikh community) through a very difficult period of external repression and internal divisions after her husband's death. She was the leader of the Panth for about forty years ( C.E.), longer than any of the nine Gurus subsequent to Guru Nanak [2]. Guru Amar Das' daughter, Bibi Bhani, according to Sikh tradition, was the one who herself selected her groom, Bhai Jetha (Guru Ram Das). She was very active in the affairs of the community during her father's and her husband's Guruships. Women headed some of the twenty-two manjis (dioceses) set up by Guru Amar Das. And what about those Sikh mothers, wives and sisters who sent their sons, husband and brothers to join the Khalsa forces when it meant sure death to become a Khalsa [3]? Many suffered innumerable hardships and torture in jails; they saw their own little ones being cut into pieces before their very own eyes by the enemy who wanted to frighten them to relinquish their faith and convert to Islam! The Sikhs remember those brave women of unsurpassed fortitude, collectively in the daily prayer: qy mweiaw ny Awpxy b`icaw ƒ tukvy-tukvy krvw JolIAW ivc pvwieaw, isdk nhin hwiraw And those women who remained steadfast in upholding their faith, while their children were cut into small pieces before their eyes and put into their laps. Ardas (Sikh congregational prayer) There were many women who fought side by side with men against the Mughal armies and foreign invaders. Hundreds of women fighters were killed during the small and big Ghaloogharas (holocausts) in 1746 C.E. and 1762 C.E., respectively. It is true that not much is known about them like most of the men who laid down their lives fighting against the forces of tyranny: Mughal rule, foreign invaders and the proponents of caste ideology. Mai Bhago was not the only one ; many other Sikh women joined the Khalsa ranks: In the period of guerrilla warfare, Sikh women were imprisoned and subjected to hard labour, but they did not forsake their faith. Sada Kaur the wife of Gurbakhash Singh ruled the area, which was under the control of Kannahya Misal. She led her armies in battle and Ranjit Singh owed his success, in his initial struggle for supremacy against the rival Misals, in no small measure to her political acumen and military help. Ahmed Shah Batalvi has given more instances where women took a leading part in political and military activities of the Misals. Rani Rajinder Kaur was one of the most remarkable women of her age. She possessed all the virtues which men pretend their own: courage, perseverance and sagacity. Sahib Kaur was made the Chief Minister of Patiala in She refused to leave the battle when pressed by the Marathas near Ambala and with a drawn sword rallied troops to repulse the enemy. Similarly, Aus Kaur was placed at the head of the administration of Patiala and she conducted the affairs of that state with conspicuous success. George Thomas writes in his memoirs 'Instances indeed have not infrequently occurred in which 39 they (Sikh women) had actually taken up arms to defend their habitation, from the desultory attacks of the enemy, and throughout the contest behaved themselves with an intrepidity of spirit, highly praiseworthy [4]. Reverend C.F. Andrews ( ) was shocked by the atrocities committed on peaceful Sikh protesters by the British administrators and their henchmen when he visited Guru-ka-Bagh Morcha site (Guru-Ka-Bagh is name of the place; Morcha means agitation) in September He admired the Sikhs (Akalis) for their patient suffering without any sign of fear. He declared the peaceful Sikh struggle against the British as a new lesson in moral warfare [4]. Being fully aware of severest beating of Sikh volunteers, Sikh mothers, wives and sisters came forward with great enthusiasm to send off their loved ones to face the oppressors, writes Ruchi Ram Sahni: Many Sikh mothers, wives and sisters garlanded their sons, husbands and brothers and gave them a loving send-off to Jaito. A mother, whose eldest son had fallen in the first Shahidi Jatha, garlanded her second son for the second Shahidi Jatha and said to him, Dear son, fight the battle of your Panth and bless your mother with the heroic sacrifices [5]. -0- khu nwnk scu idaweiay ] suic hovy qw scu pweiay ]2] {pmnw } AnvY : suic hovy qw, (jy) scu pweiay ] ArQ : hy nwnk AwK, s`c(r`b dy guxwˆ) ƒ ijmdgi iv`c Dwrn krnw cwhidw hy[ hy jiv, s`c dy muqwibk jivn-jwc bxwky hi su`cwpiv`qr hoieaw jw skdw hy[ Truthful living is sacred ividaw vicwri qwˆ praupkwri ] {pmnw 356} AnvY: ividaw vicwri qwˆ (jy) praupkwri (bixaw)] ArQ : jy mnu`k duijawˆ nwl BlweI krn vwlw ho igaw hy qwˆ hi smjo ik auh iv`idaw pw ky ivcwrvwn bixaw hy [ Contemplation (of Gurbani) is useful only if one becomes benevolent.

42 40 37 uru Nanak the founder of Sikhism laid a firm foundation for Ga Democratic Society by repudiating a Caste System and social privileges by birth. He was a strong advocate for Human Rights, Equality, Universal principles of Justice and Social st and Spiritual status of women. In 21 century the best democratic nations of the world such as Canada, USA, UK and some others are applying similar philosophy and principles as Guru Nanak. The people who followed Guru Nanak's philosophy are known as Sikhs. A Sikh is referred to a student who learns the simple way of life and thus becomes good human being (citizen). During the Guru period Sikhs were addressed by given names without last name or Caste e.g Bhai Mardana, Bhai Gurdas, Bhai Mani Singh and Bhai Taru Singh. Guru Gobind Singh ji was very creative and genius who transformed the Khalsa as follow: * Merged 4 Varans ( 4 Castes ) in to one Khalsa Created New Society (Khalsa) that was: * Non Hegemonic * Non Exclusive * Non Patriarchal ( Singh and Kaur) *Self-Rule (Sovereignty) in Divine Guidance ( Shabad ) The khalsa had distinct characteristics : * Physically distinct * Mentally alert * Spiritually enlightened * Concept was the martyrdom * Not afraid to die for worthy causes * Upheld very high social values In addition to the above Guru Gobind Singh ji declared the Nash Doctrines for every member of the Khalsa to follow and said, that you are Now leaving the Past and transforming into the Khalsa brotherhood and sisterhood. Nash Doctrines: * Dharm Nash (Beliefs) : Freedom from previous religious traditions and rituals. * Karam Nash (Actions) : Freedom from past bad deeds. * Janam Nash (Birth ) : Freedom from Caste and family origin. * Sharm Nash (Embarrassment) : Freedom from non-prestigious profession. * Bharm Nash (Doubts) : Freedom from rituals and religious prejudices. After First Sikh raj ( Banda Singh Bahadur), the disguised Brahman such as Nirmalas and Udasies took charge of Sikh religious institutions(gurdwaras). They had Master plan to diminish the Sikh image by slowly bringing back the Caste system, traditions and rituals that were rejected by our Gurus. 250 years after Guru period the Sikh nation went back to a society in Punjab and in other part of India similar to what it was before Guru Nanak. It is not just the influence of our neighbours ( Hindus and Muslim ), it is due to the Master plan of the anti- Sikh groups (R.S.S.). Finally it become obvious and evident (looking at the present crises in Punjab) that our Sikh leadership (religious and political) are working for R.S.S. instead of Sikh causes. Indian government applying the old British policy of Divide and Rule to weaken the Sikh unity. The majority of Sikhs being so ignorant, are going along with this nasty plan and without realizing, are building Gurdwaras and also naming Sikh societies on Caste basis. Living in the Western World we see there is no Caste system and all human beings are considered equal. One has to wonder how these Western countries are applying Guru Nanak's philosophy, where as Guru Nanak never visited here and they never heard the name of Guru Nanak? It is very interesting to find out why the Western countries have no caste system? What they have and we do not have? After lot of soul searching came to conclusion that it is the Education they have and we have not. It is not only the academic part of education, it's also how we were brought up in a Caste infected society. The dishonest and corrupt religious l e a d e r s h i p a n d r e l i g i o u s institutions(gurdwaras), illiterate Deradars, Babas and Sants brought back the Belief System full of rituals and superstitions to gain power and control over ignorant Sikh nation. Sri Guru Granth Sahib, the first hand document of knowledge for Sikhs, kept wrapped up in Ramjit Singh Mann ramjitmann@yahoo.ca beautiful Ramalas, instead of reading it and get knowledge from it,we started worshipping it (matha takena etc.) a ritual part of the Belief System. This is the main reason, Sikhs are gone back to the Caste system which was rejected by Guru Nanak. Summery: The factors responsible for caste system to reappear in Sikh society: Guru Granth Sahib being kept wrapped up in Ramalas and keeping it away from Sikh sangat. Education: Academic and lack of knowledge of Guru Granth Sahib's philosophy. Being brought up in a society (India) full of rituals, superstitions and caste system. 4.None or very little encouragement for Sikh sangat to read Guru Granth Sahib from Sikh religious leaders or from Gurdwaras. It is time for us (Sikhs) to awake up and get hold of our own affairs. Sikhs have been waiting for guidance from religious leaders and from the Gurdwaras for the past 250 years and they have been guiding the Sikhs in the wrong directions. Let us all Sikhs start taking Guru's Wisdom from our present Guru, Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji, hopefully it will help us getting rid of the Caste system. I am requesting all Sikhs to apply Guru's philosophy and the Nash Doctrines, call ourselves Guru's Sikhs, doing so it will put end to the Caste system. I would like to request all Sikhs to make a resolution or a pledge that from now on if some one talks about some one's caste in your presence, just say in a friendly way, that Caste System was rejected by Guru Nanak, so it is not acceptable in Sikh society. I am sure that person will think twice before he or she would use the caste word again. This way we can get rid of the Caste System in no time. -0-

43 41 ecent experience of one of us (AS) in bringing a copy of Sri RGuru Granth Sahib (SGGS) from India to Canada prompted this essay. The hurdles that he experienced were unheard of only a few years ago. No one knows the reason for this sudden imposition of restrictions on the Guru's travels abroad. In this essay we research probable reasons and seek Guru's guidance on the recent imposition of limits on Guru's unrestricted availability outside the precincts of Sri Darbar Sahib Complex in Amritsar, India. Brahmanism Taboo at the Millennium Celebration in USA In year 2000, religious leaders of most religions of the world, on special invitations, graced the land of United States, to celebrate the Millennium year. I (HL) had a pleasure of personal involvement with the events held at the United Nations campus in New York and at the World Center for Thanks Giving at the Thanks Giving Square in Dallas, Texas. Meeting and mingling with world religious leaders gave me, among other things, a real appreciation of how diverse was the celebration of religiosity among world's religions. One particular observation is relevant to today's essay. Some denominations of Hinduism sent lower level leadership and other Hindus completely shun from travel to participate in the international gatherings. We were told that their top religious leadership was forbidden to cross waters of the continents. On further exploration I found that travelling overseas was forbidden in those sects on religious grounds. There is a belief in Hindu mythology that crossing over an ocean is a religious sacrilege punishable with wrath from fierce demons and monsters. Both Manu Smriti and the Baudhayana Dharma Sutra specifically dissuaded sea travels with very severe penalties and penances. Some who have incurred religious wrath in recent times for crossing the seas are n o t a b l e s l i k e Ta g o r e, G a n d h i, Vivekananda and Ramanujan. Further, in the 17th and 18th century, the English suffered in their attempts to get Hindu labor across to Africa and West Indies due to this reason. The crossing of the seas was termed crossing the dark waters or Kala Paani. The British finally took large cauldrons of Ganges water on board to keep these men contended. A Brahmin explained the taboo as follows - This is because one cannot perform his d a i l y ' p u j a s ', t h e t h r e e t i m e 'sandyavandans' because the sun and moon were "in the wrong place at the wrong time". Moreover, if one goes out, he would have to compromise on those religious practices, 'touch' many unclean people and eat food prepared by "mlecchas (non- Aryan or non-vedic follower)". Another reason stated was that India was a "Punyabhoomi (Holy land)" and the rest of the world was karmabhoomi (Land of duty). Furthermore, such a departure from this land entailed the end of the reincarnation cycle, as the traveler was cut off from the regenerating waters of the Ganges (thus the English solution of carrying Ganges water on ships). Vishnunarayanan Namboothiri, a noted poet who served as a priest at the Sreevallabha Temple, was not allowed to enter the temple after he returned from an overseas trip to London. The temple authorities, led by the chief priest, asked him to go a thorough cleansing, penance and punaravrodha (reinstallation) before he would be allowed in again. Namboothiri was asked to purify himself by reciting the Gayatri Mantra 1008 times. It is heartening that more educated Hindus began to reform. More recently, a group of educated Hindus began to call above described restrictions on travels of holy people as the taboo and "outdated ritual. Should we begin to smell the above described Hindu influence in restrictions imposed on travels of our eternal guru? Neither Sikh Teachings nor Sikh Maryada Hearing all of the above description of Brahamanwad should be foreign to us at first and then very disturbing. However, Col. Avtar Singh Singh.am@rogers.com Dr. Harbans Lal Japji08@yahoo.com we are relieved to realize that our Guru's teachings, Gurmat, actually liberated us from such shackles. That we would never be restricted the Hindu way. We envision our scholars, clergy and gurus traveling all over the world to spread the message of universality and love. Further our SABD guru had guaranteed us its presence wherever a Sikh would reside. We must trust the prediction of the scholars of Guru Arjun's court. Bhai Gurdas described the whole schema of Guru Arjan in creating the volume of SGGS in Vaar 41, Pauri 21, as below. guru Arjn pmcm ThrwieE] ijn sbd sudwr grmq bxwiee] grmq bxwie aucwr sunwiee] qb srb jgq my pwt rcwiee] The Fifth Guru, Guru Arjan, edited the hymns to compose the Granth. Then he recited it to the congregation to be followed by its recitations in the whole world. The scholars in the Guru Arjan's congregation made this prediction: augvxhu qy AwQvxhu chu cki kianu loaw ] Balvand and Sata (SGGS, p. 968) Your good self (Guru SABD) and your teachings are the source of light which may shine from the East and the West and spread to enlighten all continents. Brahamanwad Not Anticipated Among Sikhs Little that we knew that our expectations of Guru's presence travelling all over the world would be sabotaged by our own Sikh clergy in our own life time.that the Brahamanwad as described above in the case of Hinduism would take grip over us, Sikhs too. This is at a time when Hindu organizations are themselves seriously considering to back away from this outdated teaching. From Brahamanwad we mean the religiosity imposed by clergy is

44 42 experienced virtually in every religion. Brahman is now a generic term that includes pundits, bhaees, mullahs, rabbis, and others who begin to claim a special authority over management of their religion. Brahamanwad engulfs every religion sometime after the Founder leaves for heavenly abode. Experience of Today With the above introduction, let us hear what had happened to a distinguished member of Canadian Sikh congregations (Col Avtar Singh). The specifics will be sent to all those interested. Suffice to say that stories of such experience are heard every day. In essence, our priestly heads of important religious organizations in Punjab and Delhi take the one seeking the volume of SGGS around the bushes for several days until the seeker loses the patients and gives up. Their demands include hiring of five initiated Sikhs to ceremonially carrying the Guru in especially prepared automobile and then special seats for the party carrying the Granth in the airplane involving no stay in any hotel on the way. When direct demands of clergy become awkward, the seeker is distracted with one excuse or the other to his/her utter disappointment and exhaustion. The seekers are told in so many ways that the SADB Guru could not fly overseas with any individual. This disappoints countless visitors from abroad who go there with deep desires to have the Guru Granth volume to install the Guru in their homes for daily obeisance, recitation and vichaar of Guru's hymns. The current restrictions rule out completely any access to SGGS Volume for any Sikh living outside India, be it Europe, UK, North America, Africa, Middle East or South East Asia. Even within India, it will be very expensive to have five Singhs travel in a specially prepared Van to deliver the volume of the Granth to say in Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai or Bangalore by road. It is not our purpose to name any particular person or organization but rather to fault the system that our clergy instituted to invoke restrictions. They make it very difficult, if not impossible, for any wisdom seeker to carry a copy of our sacred scripture to take home particular when flying over the oceans. It is this very fanaticism which resulted in removing the copies of the Guru Granth from Indian Embassies and university libraries in North America. All this has been done in the name of Satkar for SGGS. According to the reports we receive from sincere seekers of the Guru Granth, there is a well thought out sinister move. Sikhs living outside Punjab, particularly outside India, are being denied the opportunity to have SGGS at their residence; to be able to recite (do Sehaj Path) SGGS themselves, to initiate the children to the Guru and take into their heart the divine wisdom contained therein (GuruMat). Was Restricting Guru Ever a Tradition? On the Contrary The compiler and composer of SGGS, Guru Arjun, himself advised that the Guru's Word or composition may abide with every soul everywhere. gur kw bcnu bsy jia nwly] SGGS, p. 679 Then the scribe of the Granth, Bhai Gurdas, predicted that the homes after home would serve as the abode for the Granth. Gr Gr AMdr Drmswl hovy kirqn sdw ivsoaw] Gurdas, Var 1, Pauri 26. Did Sikhs Ever Ignore their Guru's instructions? Of Course Not. The Guru Granth volume was first installed as Pothi Sahib in 1604 and it was canonized as SGGS in Since then the sacred volumes have been transported by whatever means available to various part of the Indian subcontinent. No one ever reported any sacrilege being committed anywhere in those days. One is at a loss why the Satkar (reverence) is being made an issue now. Our memories are still fresh of the days when the sacred volume of SGGS used to be carried in a leather holder slung from the saddle of a horse, during the 18th century. We are both well past seventh decade of our life and have seen during our life time SGGS volume, packed in a suitcase, being transported in a Tonga (horse buggy), a bus or train and on a horse back, all in the lap of the faithful or in a suitcase. It is not even a couple of decade ago that restriction on Guru's travel was ever heard. The SABD Guru was transported and distributed freely among the Sikh congregations and the homes of individual wisdom seekers. Let us illustrate with the case history of Dr. Bradshaw. A Christian minister, Rev. H. L. Bradshaw of Oklahoma City developed fascination with Sikhism through some Sikh students he met at the University of Oklahoma campus. He began to write articles on Sikhism that were published in Sikh media including the Sikh Review. He then made pilgrimage to Amritsar where SGPC felicitated him and gave him books on Sikhism to take back with. He was also given a copy of the Guru Granth to carry with in his suitcase in order to establish a Sikh congregation in Oklahoma which he did. Soon after his Amritsar visit and publicity of his starting a Sikh congregation one of us (HL) heard from SGPC asking him to visit Dr. Bradshaw to help him where needed. If my memory is correct I visited Dr. Bradshaw in 1959 and spent a night at his home. I found that Dr. Bradshaw could not establish a Sikh congregation so he asked me to take away his copy of the Guru Granth with me. He could not read Punjabi. The students who originally inspired him toward Sikhism had already left the town. Thus, I transported the sacred volume to Chicago with me in my car. We had formed the Sikh Study Circle there to meet weekly and held sangat in the Guru's presence. In due time, Sikh students studying in universities all over the Midwest USA found out that I was honored with a copy of the Guru for the benefit of various Sikh congregations. They began to ask me to lend them the SABD Guru for their Sikh functions. I traveled with the Guru to Madison, Milwaukee, other nearby towns in Indiana and couple of times to Ohio where late Dr. Kharag Singh of Sikh Research Institute, Dr. Gurbaksh Singh of Punjab Agriculture University and their colleagues were studying at Ohio University. They invited me with my Guru for Sikh celebrations. They were very

45 appreciative and supportive of the Guru's visits at various campuses. A few years later, around 1975, late Sardar Phulel Singh of Takht Sri Patna Sahib had moved to Toronto. One of his mission, he told me, was to provide the Guru to where ever requested. I recall taking the volumes of the Guru Granth from him to deliver to various sangats in different towns of North America. All were very feeling blessed on the availability of the Guru in the foreign lands. They were all very thankful for this service undertaken by Sirdar Phulel Singh. Sirdar Sahib told me that he imported container loads of the sacred volumes of SGGS for distribution. Sikhism was really coming to the age of its being without borders with SGGS freely available. Bhai Kahn Singh himself gave a copy of the Guru Granth to late Mr. MaCauliffe to pack it in his suitcase to take it to UK with him for his use. MaCauliffe's servant who travelled with him and packaged his luggage was his Muslim servant well known to Bhai Kahn Singh. Let us ask our SABD Guru on its instruction on its being taken from place to place to make it freely available to all. Cloud Burst of Gurbani There is a beautiful story from the times of Guru Ram Das reported by Sikh historian, Bhai Santokh Singh. A delegation of Hindu religious scholars under the leadership of Pundit Mohan Lal came to visit the Guru. The members were well known Pundits or leaders of Brahamanical tradition. Their mission was to express their concern with the language and mode of propagation the Guru was using to freely spread Gurmat message among the people. They loudly expressed their concern. They attempted to persuade the Guru to use the language of the religious elite, the Sanskrit, in order to impart Guru Nanak's doctrines. Further, the same elites should be given charge to further impart the sacred knowledge; the hymns of guru should not be distributed unrestricted. The Guru is reported to rebuke the suggestion and used the same metaphor of rain as related above to make his point forcefully. Bhai Santokh described it as; byd purwn kup jl jysy[broswie ko ikqi jysy siqgur bwxi myg smwn [brsy chum idis ibky jhwn ] Divine message, the Guru said, was like water to a thirsty person or to a germinating plant. Divine knowledge in Sanskrit or Arabic is like water kept in deep wells. It takes effort to draw it and then quench thirst of the person drawing it out or to irrigate crops of only those who possessed the means of taking out water in this manner. No sharing was possible as the quantity thus drawn was sufficient only to satisfy the needs of the holder of the bucket. In contrast, the Guru's Wisdom, gurmat, was manifested in Gurbani (repository of Guru's wisdom) in a language and mode which served like a cloud burst. It showered everywhere without restriction. It turned the crops of every one and in every field, green; it reached mountains and valleys alike, birds and mammals alike, animals and human alike, educated and uneducated alike, poor and rich alike. (See Santokh Singh, Sri Gur Partap Suraj Granth, Raas 1, Part 46, p Reprinted Amritsar, Khalsa Samachar, 1954.) Stern Condemnation of Constraining the Guru The Guru Granth sternly condemned those who hide their Guru behind walls of restrictions. For example, Guru Ram Das condemned those who hide their Guru behind rituals and restrictions. jo guru gopy Awpxw su Blw nwhi pmchu Ein lwhw mulu sbu gvwieaw] SGGS, p.304. O chosen people, O self-elect, one who hides Guru from others is not a good person. Such a person will lose every advantage that he and others could take of the Guru's teachings. ijn guru goipaw Awpxw sy lydy Fhw iprwhi] SGGS, p. 308 Those who hide the Guru wander around, moaning and groaning. ijin guru goipaw Awpxw iqsu Taur n Twau] SGGS, p. 314 Those who hide their Guru shall have no home or place of rest. Conclusion There are reports of unprecedented restrictions imposed on the transportation of SGGS Volume from Amritsar or Delhi 43 where alone it is available. These restrictions are beginning to cause damage to the practice of Sikhi in the long run. This effect is particularly being felt by the Sikhs living across the ocean. We call upon the Sikh Nation to find a solution. The Priestly class dare not say as yet that an average Sikh cannot read Sri Guru Granth Sahib himself/herself but we are fast being taken towards that, when only the Brahman could read the scripture and interpret it. The results of this are well known to all of us. Guru never restricted Guru's movements particularly cross oceans as the restriction exist only among the religions under Brahmanic management. Surprisingly the restrictions being imposed are under the garb of promoting reverence to the Guru. However, any search in the Guru's hymns or writings of Bhai Gurdas will readily reveal that the Guru guided reverence is reading and understanding the sacred hymns. Any mode of reverence that restricts access to the Guru will only be a practice Brahmanic religiosity. In conclusion, let us quote our Guru directly on the issue under discussion. BweI ry gurmuik bujy koie] ibnu bujy krm kmwvxy jnmu pdwrqu Koie] SGGS, p.33. O Siblings of Destiny, there are only a few wisdom-oriented ones who would cognize and comprehend (the Guru Granth verse); any ritual or deed done devoid of understanding the sacred hymns will waste any precious opportunity of one's life. sy mnmuk jo sbd n pcwnih] SGGS, page 1054 They are turned to their own intellect away from Guru who not comprehend the message of Guru SABD The real Satkar of SGGS lies in reading, reciting and singing the sacred hymns yourself, vicharna, understanding them, contemplating on them, believing in their guidance and then be sincere to live your life as per Guru's instructions. In our humble opinion, the most awful disrespect for SGGS is either to ignore reading it or to hire others to recite on your behalf when you are not even present there. -0-

46 44 Dr. Anne Murphy NOT right person for the job To Chancellor Mr. Lindsay Gordon University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada Sincerely Regards Singh Sabha International Canada 603 Ray Lawson Blvd. Brampton, ON L6Y 5J7 Subject: Request for removing Dr. Anne Murphy, Assistant Professor from the Chair of Punjabi Language, Literature and Sikh Studies at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. Sir, We invite your attention toward the anti-sikhism work done in UBC by way of patronizing & producing spurious literature about Sikhism by Dr. Anne Murphy, Assistant Professor and Chair of Punjabi Language, Literature and Sikh Studies at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. She has written a book The Materiality of the Past-History and Representation in Sikh Tradition. The book under reference is her doctoral thesis completed under the supervision of Dr. J. S. Hawley. The book is based on unauthentic and unscientific biased research work, not supported by established facts, rather seems to be a tendentious work to produce spurious literature to dilute & distort Sikh philosophy and history. Dr. Murphy does not have requisite sound background knowledge of Punjabi Language, required to read and comprehend various original Sikh scriptures & literature sources, such as, Guru Granth Sahib. Without having requisite knowledge of 'Punjabi Language', how can she understand and decide if Gurbilas Patshai 6 and so called Dasam Granth are written by a Sikh or by someone having ulterior motive to confuse people about Sikhism, including Sikhs and trying to maliciously adulterate Sikh doctrine and the Sikh history? Her thesis seems to a well plan action of the Anti-Sikhism School activists as it falls in line with their fissiparous & nefarious designs. Equating Guru Granth Sahib to an object is the greatest blasphemous act of an individual and she has done that without knowing its gravity. Her book under reference has created very strong reactions from the Sikhs across the world. It is not possible to convey full review of the book through this letter and to describe how detrimental is her book to the Sikh psyche. Her thesis under reference is being reviewed seriously in Sikh circles as it is a tendentious attack on Sikhism to malign it. We for and on behalf of Singh Sabha International Canada request you to remove Dr. Anne Murphy from the Chair of Punjabi Language, Literature and Sikh Studies at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. We also request your office to ensure that no such spurious literature is patronized & produced against any faith by anyone under the aegis of UBC, an esteemed institution. UBC should appoint a panel of eminent Sikh scholars having indepth knowledge of Sikh doctrine & history to examine the legitimacy of her thesis under reference. Such an action on the part of UBC will assuage the hurt feeling of the Sikhs across the Globe. A copy of this letter is also being endorsed to Ms. Reny Kahlon, Secretary to the Board of Governors of UBC at reny.kahlon@ubc.ca with a request to put it before the appropriate authority for necessary consideration. We are also endorsing copies of this letter to other concerned quarters for their information. Thanks Pics. from protest against Dr. Anne Murphy on 23 April 2016 at Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto.
