Sachkhand Nanak Dhaam

The Sachkhand Nanak Dham (‘true house of God’) was founded by Darshan Dass (1953–1987) in Batala, Punjab in 1973. Darshan first visited England during the winter of 1979. There followed many other visits, and the numbers of followers grew rapidly. They included people of all walks of life, Hindus, Muslims, Christians and Sikhs: Darshan encouraged people to follow the truth that is God—within their own faith and to recognise that truth in each person.

Darshan preached that the spiritual journey that every human being must undertake for a better understanding of self and of the One God must be undertaken under the guidance of a living spiritual Master. The year 1980 saw the inauguration of Das Dharam, the practical arm of the Mission: members are encouraged to serve all humanity on a voluntary basis. The Punjabi slogan he gave to his followers was nanak naam chardi kala tere bhane sarbat da bhala, which translates roughly as: “In the name of the Supreme Power, do something good for someone else in your life.”

Members are encouraged to lead a teetotal and vegetarian lifestyle and adopt the fundamental principles of Das Dharam, which are: speak the truth, be content, follow the guidance of a spiritual master and put yourself out for someone else in your life.

A permanent centre was established in Handsworth, Birmingham in 1982. During the turbulent year of 1984, Darshan spoke out against the injustices and intolerances then afflicting the Punjab. He was assassinated in a school hall in Southall during a prayer meeting in November 1987.

This cult is anti-Sikh and any follower of it can't be considered Sikh. The killing of Darshan Dass is explainable and even supportable. The reasons are following: he was basically doing what the RSS is doing now, but then in the 80's. He would promote Indian nationalism, and openly condemn the Sikh freedom movement.Darshan Das was not punished for talking against the freedom movement; he was punished for the following reasons:

• He called himself the true and last guru; he made mockery of the Sikh Gurus and the great Shaheeds of the Khalsa Panth. He referred to himself has Guru Nanak Dev Ji.

• He sat higher than Dhan Dhan Siri Guru Granth Sahib Maharaaj, no satkhar (respect) was given to Guru Maharaj, and he distorted Gurbani and made people believe that he was the true savior.

• He preached that Sikhs and Sikhi do not exist, and that Sikhs are a mixture of Hindus and Muslims , we should all be clean shaven and wear white turbans with white dhotis and we should all have a red tilak on our fore heads.

• He destroyed hundreds of families in desperate need, with trickery and by using standard magic tricks and black magic. Families where broken up and women began to abandon their children to live with him and his bodyguards.

• Bullying, intimidation, rape and black mail was used by him and his followers to extort money and stop people leaving.

Bhai Rajinder Singh and Manjit Singh watched his occult grow in two years, one needs to ask the question, where does one who is supposed to be a victim of the 1984 riots, gets the money to set up 24 bases in England

Bhai Rajinder Singh and Manjt Singh followed Dashan Dass for six months, before carrying out the mission. The two Lions presented themselves before Guru Maharaaj just like Bhai Beant & Satwant Singh, did Ardaas took a Hukamnama,

Both the Singhs gunned down Darshan Dass in Southall in front of 400 people, along with two of his armed bodyguards. Both Singhs stood their ground and were beaten and severely wounded by his followers, but did not fire back or fight back.

In true Khalsa tradition the Singhs did not plead insanity, or show any regret or remorse for what they did.

Bhai Rajinder Singh was sentenced to 30 years imprisonment, and Bhai Manjit was sentenced to 20 years. Bhai Rajinder sacrificed the love of his two young children and wife to up hold the tradition of the Khalsa.

Whilst in prison the two lions commissioned and edited a set of magazines, call ‘Khalistan dian Gunyaa’ occasionally writing from prison to inspire others around them. The currect so-called Guru of this sect is Darshan Dass' son Tarlochan Dass.
