Recently, a video linked to Pakistan has been rapidly going viral on social media. In the video, a man can be seen displaying a picture of Guru Nanak Dev Ji while promoting tantra-mantra, black magic, solutions for childlessness, attaining love, resolving marital tensions, reuniting with a lover or getting rid of one, gaining power, and practices like hypnotism and spiritual control. Not only this, he also claims that these problems can be solved through the “blessings of Guru Nanak.” This is not only highly objectionable but also completely against the core teachings of Sikhism.

Sikhism has always stood firmly against superstition, hypocrisy, and blind rituals. The Sikh Gurus showed humanity the path of truth, selfless service, Naam Simran, and honest living. Sikh history bears witness to the fact that the Gurus never allowed miracles or supernatural acts to become the foundation of religion. In fact, when the issue of displaying miracles arose, the Gurus clearly conveyed—even to their own sons—that there was no place for hypocrisy or miraculous displays in the Sikh faith. Because of this principle, they were distanced permanently. Yet today, the same Gurus’ images are being misused for such absurd claims, and these activities are even being turned into a business by openly sharing WhatsApp numbers for contact.

In such circumstances, using the name of Guru Nanak Dev Ji to promote tantra-mantra and occult practices is a direct insult to Sikh beliefs and principles. This cannot simply be dismissed as the act of one individual. Serious questions also arise as to whether such activities in Pakistan are being carried out under a planned mindset or with the backing of certain agencies. History has repeatedly shown that attempts have been made from Pakistani soil to influence religious sentiments and disturb the atmosphere in Punjab.

In recent times, suspicions have also been raised regarding the involvement of Pakistan-backed elements in explosions and incidents aimed at spreading unrest in Punjab. When these events are viewed together, it becomes evident that continuous efforts are being made to create confusion, instability, and emotional provocation within Punjab and the Sikh community.

The Sikh community must understand that merely serving at gurdwaras or making grand claims does not make someone a true well-wisher of Sikhs. Pakistan and certain elements there often try to project an image of “love for Sikhs,” but the ground reality frequently appears very different. Therefore, the Sikh community must act with awareness, wisdom, and according to the teachings of the Gurus rather than becoming emotional.

Today, there is a strong need for Sikh institutions, religious organizations, and intellectuals to openly raise their voices against such incidents and make it clear to the world that Sikhism has no connection with tantra-mantra, black magic, or occult practices. The Sikh Gurus guided humanity toward knowledge and truth, not superstition.

The Sikh community must stand united to protect its religious dignity, principles, and history. At the same time, the younger generation should be educated to remain cautious of such misleading and offensive propaganda being spread through social media and to understand the true teachings of the Sikh Gurus correctly.
