6 hours ago, imhosingh said:I was veggie for about 20yrs (ate all the soy stuff etc). I've gone back to meat occasionally now and lay off the soya/mock meats. I only eat Organic and/or Jhatka though. The turning point for me was watching some videos/podcasts/speaking to folks on the topic. Its not about taste either (afterall folks complain about Daal if its not cooked to your particular taste).
If you look at how mock/soya gunk is made, the ingredients etc... its basically hyper-processed junk. In the old days the mock meat ingredients were used as cheap 'fillers' in cheap meat burgers etc. Thats why they are pushing it a lot now, it has high profit margins when sold as 'mock meat'/meat alternatives (check out the cost per 100g of fake meat to real meat in the shops).
Is it more eco? Not really, look into the effect of a soy field on the environment, compared to a field with cows/goats etc in it. One will be a very diverse ecosystem.. the other (soy field) will be pretty dead (not biodivese), the soil will be rubbish etc. Plus everytime it is ploughed or harvested, thousands/maybe millions of creatures are killed per acre (above and below ground). As opposed to a few cows, pigs, chickens, goats in a field.
Your body is the result of millions of years of evolution...if you give it an organic steak or a say hyper processed Linda McCartney Sausage, which one will it recognise/understand what to do with it (hence your bloating with soy stuff etc)
Hmmm very interesting, still have not tried meat substitute, and it wouldn't be a daily thing even if I did.
My mum used to make soya chunks in a thuri, which was pretty nice. But I have been a meat eater all my life, was watching this program about undigested meat that is just stuck in your body. So thought I'd give up on the meat or try at least.

Unless Punj Pyare specifically mention an alternative bhagti/nitnem i.e. if you're illiterate, the Nitnem bani is the same. But usually they don't mention stuff like Asa Di Vaar and Sukhmani Sahib still, they'd recommend Gurmantar and Mool Mantar Jap.
Which Panj Pyare decreed the change ?

Nitnem is Jap, Jaap, Swayye, Chaupai, Anand.
Asa di Vaar, Shabad Hazare, etc. are extra that every Sikh is encouraged to do, but it is optional.
I'm just thinking out aloud here, if Guru Ji didn't put any of his bani into Guru Granth Sahib Ji, would he also not include them in the morning banis?

I bet the Muslim population has gone up, they are Gremlins once it gets a bit wet they don't stop popping out.

Thing is the more I study this subject, I realize I have been strongly affected by it and experience all negative symptoms of Shani in my life since they day I'm born is heavily ruled by Saturn.
Would like to hear members input on this subject and experiences if any.
Are really being affected or is the mind playing tricks? Your focus is on negative thoughts, you are probably more affected by the moon as your body is is made 75% or so (cant remember off the top of my head) of water.

So was looking for an English katha of Sukhmani Sahib, and stumbled across this video, for some reason it sounds hollow, may be its the presenter, but something is missing, cant put my finger on it.

Pind school ?
Miri Piri Academy ?
India can be difficult to get used to. Also, the summers are very harsh and the worst of the winters are not easy either
I'm not sure at where, age 5-8 ? Apparently its easier to absorb information at a younger age.
Yes India can be harsh, I am just spit balling atm lol

Who are these people? I go to Punjab every 5 years ish and everyone, that I meet know about Sikhi. Maybe I'm just really ignorant to it.

I think we should send our children for year to be educated in Punjab, so they understand Sikhi culture, grow a bond with their homeland, learn to read/write Gurmukhi.
I have noticed a few of these parchar on YouTube spent a lot of years back home. Jagraj Singh from basics of Sikhi and Satpal Singh both are two that come to mind.
I know Muslims used to do this back in the day, dont know about now.
Seen a few posts about the youth of today, and this popped in my head.

32 minutes ago, justasking said:do you guys eat pork? i generally avoid it because its unhealthy and supposedly flesh is close to human flesh but tht being said wouldn't mind trying wild boar
If you eat animal meat, it doesn't matter which one you eat, the Hindu doesn't eat cow because of their milk? But will eat goat, Muslim will not eat pig, but will eat chicken who eat crap and are injected with all kinds of stuff to make them bigger and don't get me started on the chicken coop lol
The point is you shouldn't eat meat full stop, or if you do don't bicker on what type.

Ahankar
in WHAT'S HAPPENING?
Posted
So I was reading through my cv and in the profile section, I state something along the line, I take pride in my work. Thinking about it , I honestly do, and in my field I really need to.
We know that Ahankar , is one of the five thieves, so am I going about things wrong. Or is the translation of Ahankar not as straight forward as just pride.
