is it true that some gudwara make meat?


Recommended Posts

to what i have heard, its a like a normal gurdwara but they also have meat in langar.

apparently my friend said that he went to southampton gurdwara because him and his dad were booked to do kirtan. when outsiders like kirtanis and raagis come then they make vegetarian langar. but udhaa they have bacon and stuff for breakfast (i assume instead of parotey).

i have not seen this with my own eyes - just going by what i have heard from others.

southampton Gurdwara Tegh Bhadar Sahib St. Marks Rd it happens they eat it with no shame i was disgusted i asked for a veggie breakfast and they gave me a just a plate of beans? For a meat eater they had bacon, sausages, eggs & blackpudding

So what was your problem ? Jealous the meat eaters had more variety ? or were the beans not good enough for you in Guru Da Langar ? Did you want Linda Mcartney Sausages with the beans ?

no they have egg in them, my problem is why not have a veggie breakfast instead of meat? i can tell your a meat eater good luck 2u

Well they never used to have egg in them and if they do I am sure it is unfertilised egg.

You had a veggie breakfast i.e. the beans. What you want ..... bits of paneer in the beans so you can pretend they are them beans with little sausages in them ?

I have not eat meat for more than a decade so go do one.

As long as it's Jhatka I don't have a problem with it.

Although saying that if there using Happy Shopper eggs and tesco value pork sausages (with the only pork content being artificial pork flavourings) then I would have a problem with it.

The Sainsbury's organic woodland eggs and duchy bacon is particularly nice and highly recommended.

Wahehguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Wahehguru Ji Ki Fateh

I am a resident in Southampton and am also a Bhatra Sikh (I don't understand why I should have to indicate that I'm a Bhatra Sikh, just as some pride themselves on differentiating themselves as Jatt Sikhs.. No castse, remember) I am a Sikh full stop.

The Bhatra Gurdwara in Southampton has never served meat as langar!! Meat has been present in the langar hall on occasssions where there is are weddings. This is now however a thing of the past as there was strong opposition against this by the Gurdwara members. When the Gurudwara reshuffled its commitee, including its President and Secretary, all meat is no prohibited from the Gurdwara.

It should never have happened, but will now never happen again.

    • Whatever problems the Afghan Sikhs have or Punjabi Sikhs have, it's much better to support them than the Muslims.
    • So, are you saying Guru ji isn't God? Or are you saying the British encouraged this belief?
    • Part of the problem is the hostilities between India and Pakistan. If the border were open, Amritsar would easily become a huge trading city. Secondly, the National Highways Authority of India is constructing a new 6-lane expressway from Kashmir, through Amritsar/Jalandhar/Ludhiana to Dehli which will be part of the Ludhiana-Delhi-Kolkatta Industrial Corridor.  Maps of the New Silk Road show Kolkata as a key part of the "road". The Punjab to Kolkata expressway and rail connections will fulfill the ability to hook up to the New Silk Road.  In addition, while crossing to Pakistan via AH1 (Asian Highway 1) is difficult, India does connect to AH1 on the other side, towards the East. Finally, Punjab can trade with the world via Mundra port in Gujurat. Rail to Mundra, then sea onwards. Dubai is very close with a free port. If you send products to Iran, there are ground links onward to Europe.
    • Yeah, that's one possibility. Another I initially thought is that it's a Muslim trying to gather info. But then, you might ask, how does he know about Sikh textual sources. Well, you'd be surprised at their resourcefulness. A final possibility is he's a weak Sikh who was asked a question by a non-Sikh and now he's suddenly feverishly wondering where it's "written" that you can't marry a young child. To the latter, I would say, you're looking in the wrong spot. Gurbani isn't a 1428 page rulebook, like Leviticus or the Vedas: ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਪੁੰਨ ਪਾਪ ਬੀਚਾਰਦੇ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ The Simritis and Shastras discriminate between charity and sin, but know not the essence of the Real Thing. Without the Guru, they know not the essence of the Reality, know not the essence of the Reality. Anand Sahib.
    • You're confusing two different things: One is merely adding starch to a turban to get a certain feel to the fabric. The other is tying your turban once and taking it off like a hat. It is this that people have a problem with. What's wrong with it is that Rehit says to tie your turban afresh every time. If you ask, "Where is that written?", it's written in Bhai Nand Lal ji's Rehitnama. @ipledgeblue didn't just make it up. Umm, no, bro. We're not evangelical Christians like President George W Bush of the US claiming to "talk to God" who told him to invade Iraq. "Speaking to him directly" basically ends up being doing whatever you feel like with the excuse that Guru ji told you to do it. If you still want to take your turban off like a hat, feel free to do so, but don't claim that it's Rehit.
