Why Guru Gobind Singh...?

[nsinghjk]

Sat Sri Akal:

1.) How you call the first word of Guru Granth Sahib?

Huh?  Explain this question please.  It does not seem to make sense. 

2.) What is Amrit?

Book on the topic -->http://akj.org/skins/default/books.php?ch=1&bookid=2

3.) Why we have to become an AmritDhari Sikh?

Guru is a Sikh's teacher, therefore the Sikh should follow the Guru's teachings and example.  Guru Gobind Rai himself took Amrit to become Guru Gobind Singh.  The example was set and the Sikhs should follow it.

4.) Who told us that we have to do Akhand Path in some amount of time, and who said it should be Akhand?

There are general estimates of how long an Akhand Paath can take, but the Rehat Maryada is clear and states that if it takes longer, then fine.  Nobody should be conducting Akhand Paaths to make the deadline.  Akhand Paaths are a way of doing Paath, Akhand meaning without stopping.  There are other Paaths as well, such as the Sehaj Paath, in which a Sikh will read from the Guru Granth Sahib daily.

5.) Why Guru Gobind Singh Ji Had 3 wives and told us to only have 1 wife?

That is an issue that is being debated.  Some say 3, some 2 and some 1.  Guru Sahib never held anything from his Sikhs and never made any statements that he only had one wife (if he did, the current debate would not be occuring).

6.) Why we still find The God, while we are saying that he everywhere?

Saying and accepting something are two separate things.  A Sikh who has fully embodied the teachings of the Guru Granth Sahib will lose the self-ego and himself/herself become the Almighty as well as see the Almighty everywhere.  It is the self-ego that puts the roadblack in the way, defining things as yours and mine.  That is the purpose of Sikhism...to overcome the self and go beyond the concept of "me".

-- he says than why it says in sikh history that guru ji had 3 wives or it also syas somewhere 2.........

[nsinghjk]

My father, Guru Gobind Singh Ji, had one wife, Mata Sundari Ji, my mother. The reason people assume Guru Ji had 3 wives is becuse of ignorant Punjabi writters. Before Guru ji married her she had a differnt name, then after marrige the name was changed once again, very common to do that in that time. Then her name was change the thrid time becuase she became a religious leader.

--- And how about MATA SAHIB KAUR " mother of khalsa".................

[nsinghjk]

I have proof that Guru Ji had only one wife. It is in dasam granth. Guru Ji had only one wife. It is due to ignorant and bramnified writers that Guru Ji is given more than one wife.

---- whts her name mata sahib kaur, sundri ji or else........

[nsinghjk]

we don't eat meat because we only eat it for taste.. u can't say 'its for protein' because there are many other things that can be substituted... so never kill another animal/human for ur own pleasure.. in this case it would be to satisfy ur taste... another reason... u know how they say 'u are what u eat'... well tha's tru... if u eat a chicken... u'll eventually become a chicken in one of ur next lives... we shouldn't eat animals because we take in their past karam... all their wrong-doings... we take them in and they become apart of our karam....

plants.. they dno't have karam.. they reproduce asexually.. which is why it's okay to eat them...

sum1 please correct me if i'm wrong..

bhul chuk maaf...

--- I think it is true.

[nsinghjk]

i'ma start eatin humans...

and can untitledsingh please provide any sort of proof, anything, as to the validity of his statements

-- NOW THAT IS WRONG OR A QUESTIONABLE THINK OF BECOMING HUMANS IN NEXT LIFE BY EATING HUMANS NOW AS HEERA SINGH JI SAID.................

[Balwinder Kaur]

Guru Gobind Singh jee had only 1 wife... Mata Jito jee who was renamed Sundari by Mata Gujri(Guruji's mother) cuz she was extremely pretty...it was also an affectionate way of calling her daughter-in-law. Mata Sahib Kaur never got married to Guru Gobind Singh Jee and so cannot be classified as his wife. She is just known as Mother of the Khalsa cuz she contributed patasehs to make Amrit in 1699....a title bestowed upon her by Guru Sahib himself. Therefore, Guruji only had 1 wife i.e. Mata Jito jee a.k.a Mata Sundari. Hope that clears up the confusion.

[The Khalsa Fauj]

And this meat thing keeps on popping up. People just search for topics on meat. Don't raise this meat thing again and again. Once again, meat is not banned in Sikhism. Only halal meat is banned. Plants also have male and females. They also react to music.

Sat Sri Akal:

1.) I understand but that guy says that the first letter is" EkO" means god is one but some says it is "ek ownkar" how you pronounce it in real.

You may read the analysis of Ik Onkaar by Professor Sahib Singh at:

http://www.gurugranthdarpan.com/0001.html

which state the three parts of Ik Onkaar, and their meanings.

2) he says that guru's lived life like a raja, had 3 or 2 wifes that doesn't mean why we have to be an amritdhari sikh just guru was and what is its motive?

Guru Sahib lived like a Raja, true. Samrath Raam Daas, teacher of Shivaji of Maharastra once heard that Guru Hargobind Sahib was the current embodiment of Guru Nanak, whose fame as a spiritual being was now spread across India. Raam Daas desired to meet Guru Sahib. Upon seeing the Sixth Patshah, he became disappointed and asked, how can Guru Hargobind Sahib abandon the saintliness of Guru Nanak and live like a King...what were this wife, kids and money? Guru Sahib responded that the wife it Iman, or respect, the children, Nishan, or the living symbol of the family, and the wealth is Gujran, or the means to get through life. He further remarked that he was a king outside, but a fakir inside. Raam Daas expressed his satisfaction at the answer. Guru Sahiban set that example for their Sikhs too. The Sikhs themselves are the image of Kings and Queens, but inside, they retain the humility and saintliness that the Guru Sahib has taught them.

Why Amrit? Amrit is the committment that a Sikh and the Guru make to each other. It is admittance into the school of the Khalsa, not graduation. The fee to get in is your head, and the education imparted is that of Gurmat. Without Amrit, one cannot be a Sikh. Since ancient times even recorded in Vedic scriptures, a student would bring his teacher an offering and if the Guru accepted this offering, the student and the Guru from then on would be bonded in their education. This tradition continues in Sikhism and Amrit is that physical and spiritual committment to that relationship.

And how about MATA SAHIB KAUR " mother of khalsa"
