But veer Singhbj shouldn't we all strive to elevate our conscience to be ruhani from being sansari ? Isn't this the very purpose of sikhi - making manmukhs out of gurmukhs? BTW Thanks a lot for posting the link to the entire shabad.

They both go against core gurmat teten of equanimity - "Harak sog te rahe nearo" and " jo nar dukh main dukh nahi maane | kanchan maati maane ||" Dancing / excessive rejoicing is also a reflection of kachi avastha = "nachan kudan man ka chao | nanank jin man bhou tina man bhao ||" Wailing / crying is not gursikh like as is evident from "Jini pachata Hukam tin kade na rovna" We shuold strive to behave with such calm at both occassions that outsiders are forced to ask - "is this a funeral or a wedding ?" What does the sangat think ?

Also as sikhs we fight Zulm ....so why not extend it to poor dairy animals , rather than be a part of it You need niether

kudos to poster ... No animal in nature drinks other species' milk. And no animal drinks even their own mother's milk after being weaned. In earlier times milk was needed coz there were not enough calories to go around.

Anonymous writer. We must respect our country and hv to respect beliefs of majority. Saanu iss gall daa fakhr taan hunda hai ki other religions de lok Gurdwara sahib aa k paath karde te sunde hann. Oh picture msg mere kol jyada nahi taan 15-20 vaar aaeya hovega jis vich ik Muslim Gurdwara sahib vich paath kar reha hai. Par je assi kise Sikh nu other than Gurdwara sahib kitte hor dekh layiye taan uss nu jaano maaran tak jaande haan. Religious kattarta v ikk tarah Di hinsaa hi hai. Koi teohar aaye doosre religion daa assi uchchi uchchi hoka den lagde haan ki eh sab bakwaas hai. Theek hai gurmat Di roshni ch saade layi ehna teohara di koi importance naa hove par dusreyan daa mazaak udaan daa v saanu koi haq nahi. Assi gurbaani diyan baaki hor saarian gallan taan bahut mande haan jiven. Alag raaj di gall karn waale eh sochan ki Punjab ch assi ki haasil keeta hai. SGPC jis vich keshdhaari Sikh voter hunde ne vich kinne k vadhia numaaende pahunch gaye. Saanu Akali dal v apna dushman lagda hai, kirpaan de size nu lai k rola paan waleyan nu v assi nakaar ditta, Congress taan saanu shuru ton hi dushman nazar aaundi rahi hai, jan sanghi Hindu rashtarwadi lagde ne, Mulayam v saada dushman hai. Kidhre saadi aapni soch hi taan saadi dushman nahi ? Maaf karna je kite alag Sikh raaj ban gaya taan aaps ch hi larh maraange. Saathiyo independence day bahut vadda Din hunda hai kise v country layi. Kaale jhande laga ke ki assi desh prati gadaari nahi show kar rahe? Kinne Sikhaan ne azaadi layi qurbaanian keetian. Par ki esse vaaste. Je USA apne citizens di respect karda hai taan usde citizens v desh diyaan traditions di kadr karde hann; Independence day te kaale jhande nahi lagaaunde. Let us b true citizens of the country. Let us celebrate independence day and other festivities with rest of our brothers. Jis desh ch minorities nu independence day nu kaala din kehan di azaadi hai oh desh Sahi maayane ch azaad hai. M proud to b an Indian. I shall celebrate independence day like all others. I shall respect festivals like Raakhi, karva chauth, dussehra coz I hv no right ki dusre religions daa mazaak udaavan. Coz I know koi ode neel koi suped.... Kaho Nanak jin hukum pachhaata prabh saheb kaa tin bhed jaata. And ..... Mere AndSaaha main har darshan sukh.... Jhootha kisko aakhiye mere sahaa.....

Gurbani is clear on this - " Thora sunve thora hee khave" and " alap ahari sulabh see nidra" From my personal experience , meditation is best done on less than half of the food we normally consume. However, the big bellies punjabis have and our lavish langars clearly undermine this simple fact. Share your thoughts

luckykaur jee are you eating dairy in any form - its very hard to lose and keep weight off until you eliminate it from your diet. Also good job with fruits and vegges for snakcing - they are the best , sometimes when I need to supress hunger I take some green or black tea , works pretty good for me

Did anyone else take notice that langars in North America (and maybe Europe - never been there) are usaully very rich - many dishes , paneer lots of sweets, smosas etc. This creates a bad incentive for people to come just looking for satiating their tongue rather than the spirit. Langar halls have way more 'sangat' comapred to darbar halls. Wonder what this does to the morale of keeranias and kathawachaks. In India langar is very simple - daal and roti and mabye achaar at the most ...

I failed to address this - if you are consuming milk after the calf has its fill and the cow has been treated with love and respect , then its maybe OK - but you think that applies to modern dairy farming ? Even in a country like India cows are injected with a hormone called oxytocin morning and evening which is tremendously painful to cow and also destructive to human health. In cows or buffaloes, the flow of milk is stimulated by the calf's nuzzling, since dairy men kill the calf or else separate it from the mother, they inject the cow with oxytocin to stimulate uterine contractions and allow for easy flow of milk. Dr AK Varshney, a veterinary expert, revealed that oxytocin was a slow poison for the bovine. "Oxytocin does not increase the amount of milk but merely makes it flow faster. It causes the equivalent of labor pains in the cow twice a day and destroys her reproductive system prematurely. She grows sterile in four years and is then abandoned onto the street or else slaughtered," he said source - http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/lucknow/Oxytocin-triggers-early-puberty-among-girls-Expert/articleshow/12697535.cms Gurus suggested us to have simple food - else Guru Arjan dev jee wouldnt have included this slok from Fareed ji "Fareeda Rotee meri kath kee lavan meri bhukh, jere khange chopriya ghane sehenge dukh " In older times there simply werent enough calories to go around so all food was great, this is no longer the situation. Gurus who taught us compassion in today's world'd most certainly had been vegans

Pyare veero 598 and 559 jee - fateh parvan karo ...... Can't disagree more veerji , I for one am diametrically opposed to dogma without reason .......I don't judge others who are non vegan , I encourage them to try it with an open mind ... Heck even I myself occasionaly have dahi at langar or my mom's kari. Well was numbers have a reason to believe in anything , I am not sheep who sees and does what majority does - I go with my own conviction, and yes I feel extremely , deeply compassionate towards animals and this was the reason I chose veganism - by the way if we go by this logic very few if any were against slavery in early days of anti slavery movement. This is a faith based forum - what point any faith if it does not invoke karuna (mercy. compassion ) in one's heart. Another gross misstatement - I have studied both medicine and nutrition and (except for B12 - even that can be had from sporuts , yeast etc) there is no nutrient that can't be found in plant based diets - also the nuritents in plant based diets are way easier to digest that their animal counterparts. You think mother nature would design humans so that they wont survive or do well without stealing other animal's breast milk ? Yes , I am not exaggerating we are stealing milk which cow gave for its calf , not for humans. Haq paraaya nanaka us sooar us gaai You can be an ostrich and assume that cows are treated with love ....but nothing is further from truth ....do you know what veal is and where it comes from ? This is a must watch .... Agree with the modest diet part , problem is most people consume this poisonous and cruel dairy not because they need the nutrition but because the taste addiction of paneer , cheese, butter , ice cream is too hard to break free of - so nothing modest about a dairy based diet - Fareed said Roti Meri Kaath ki Laavan Meri Bhukh , Jere Khange chopreyan ghane sehenge dukh Questioner singh jee ...In one word - "smoothies" - drink one big one in morning and another one in evening, also keep your calorie intake up by eating more frequently .I would recommend some basic workout like 5-7 minutes of pushups one day and next 5-7 minutes of Indian style squats - You can see a sample plan here

Questioner ji , whats your target weight and current weight , do you work out ? I can create a thread in health fitness section if people are interested. I thing losing weight is almost always a good thing unless you go ketotic like with cancer or tb ....
