Dera Sucha Sauda -Sikh conflict in India

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Please. Sikh as well as non-Sikh sants did popularize the ancient values of Grihastha Sadhana, and did challenge the 'Sannyas as the ONLY way' to self realization, even preferred Grihastha over Sannyasa. But please do quote where Sants have said what you say : 'Sanyas is futile'. Sants were and are Grihastha-viraktas, but does not mean there is no place for Sannyasa! A true dharmik tradition should have place and tolerance for all the currents and varieties of spiritual traditions. "Simplification" and "templatization" is certainly not a hallmark of Indic dharma.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Well... That was my understanding of SGGS and Sikhi. Anyhow...Many Nihang Singhs do not marry and are thus considered Brahacharis. The reason for Nihang Singhs to not marry is that they are "Suicide Army".

You can find quotes in SGGS pro or anti celibacy but the point is that under Khalsa Rahitnama a sikh is suppose to be Grihasta... This Khalsa rahitname is code of conduct as decided by Sikhs. I do not know what happens to the Nihangs who are celibate.. do they qualify as Khalsa or not... Maharaja Ranjit Singh for example was not a Khalsa.
