Important Announcement:
It has been brought to the attention of SikhiWiki Sewadars that the webmaster of the "Sikhi site" www.Sarbloh.info who is called Nihang Teja Singh has strong objections to material from that site being used on SikhiWiki. He has threatened to take legal action against SikhiWiki.
In view of this objection, serious questions arise and we ask all contributors to take note that Sikhi is now also subject to copyright regulations. We wish to remind the Sangat that when, Dhan Satgur Sri Guru Arjan Dev included the Bani of the Bhagats in Sri Guru Granth Sahib, did descendents of Dhan Bhagat Kabir ji or Dhan Sheikh Farid ji threaten to take Guru ji to Court for violation of copyright! Or did Guru ji get permission from the bhagats to include the Bani in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib?
The prime mission of SikhiWiki is to promote Sikhi and this is above all other consideration. As such we have assumed the same would apply of all other Sikhi sites. Maharaja say: "The Guru's Sikh, and the Sikh's Guru, are one and the same; both spread the Guru's Teachings." (p444). Just like the Guru, the Sikh's mission to spead the Sikhi message.
Please note that as a result of this action by Nihang Teja Singh, we are compling a list of all Sikhi site which prohibit the dissemination of Gurmat via other sites and require others to adhere to the strict rules of the copyright regulations even when it involves the promotion of Sikhism.
