RE-MARRIAGE ALOUD IN OUR RELIGION ???

JUS CURIOUS hmmm.gif

Is it re-marriage after divorce you reffer to, or for widows/widowers. I believe both are allowed.

Where re-marriage for widows is concerned, this is specially significant in Sikhi. Before the time of Guru Amar Das Ji, it was common Hindu practice for widows to be placed on the funeral pyre of their husbands ina tradition called Sat that was supposed to show their devotion to their departed spouse. Guru Amar Das uplifted the status of women, and abolished this practice for Sikhs, giving women greater rights.

Additionally, Guru Amar Das Ji ensured that Sikh women were not made to wear purdah (veil) over their face as in Islamic tradition. Furthermore, Guru Ji craeted Manji's and allowed women to take up such positions and thus become missionaries of the faith, and preach the Sikh teachings.

I too am not aware of any mention of re-marriage directly in Gurbani.

Rehitnamas are the proscribed Sikh Way of living, and contain the rules Sikhs should adhere to. This is where such information, and rules would be found as opposed to in Gurbani itself.

The link given by Curious_man takes you to the SGPC rehitnama, most of which is widely agreed to as accurate by the panth as a whole, although some groups may disagree with some points.

Although I dont think there is any mention of a widow remarrying in Guru Granth Shahib ji however, if u go to www.sikhitothemax.com and under the gurbani search search for widow in the english section, you'll find so many shabads, especially those that tell a woman not to despair when she becomes a widow, because in reality she isnt ever a widow, her husband lord is always with her.. guru ji is always with her, he is our mother, father, husband, wife, brother, sister...... it is not wrong to remarry in Sikhi, the only problem is the thinking of people who dont want their children to marry someone who was once married, other than that i dont think people have a problem with it....

bhul chuk maaf

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
