raju veerai ..

do u go to the gym ?

do u play any sports related activity ?

do u do any chores at home ? i dont eat a lot of that stuff you listed .. maybe cheese the most .. but thats every other day or three..

even if i do little activity .. i know singhs who just sitting in sangat also stink like never before ..

i know in the past this wasnt such an issue .. but this is the new world bro .. ppl will get reli annoyed if u smell .. and im one of them .. but i am aware that i probably smell worse than anyone else .. :)

No, i'm not a gymmer or anything. I do some light exercises in the morning and that's all. But I do eat lot of red-meat and I have had people tell me, whenever I don't shower, that I could smell better etc.

But those days where I had none of the stuff that I mentioned above. I haven't heard any adverse remarks about how I smell etc. Moreover I have decided to keep my armpit hair trimmed because it seems to help. Don't like to shave the armpits though because I'm worried about ingrown hair.

Vive la france !!

Definately.. Without body spray remember you are disturbing others. If you think you stinks and can't control it then make sure to use deodrant for others sake ! I guess deodrant comes under category of body spray ?

First of all use of alcohol is banned in our religion but that is if u intentionally use it for nasha and using perfume is notever requierd to be banned... so dont mix it up with alcohol..... in this way u wont be able to eat medicines also whch contains animals bones, alcohol and wat not....

Also u have given a one example from gurbani... but that is that i dont need anything to get my guru.... but gurbani also writes the saf suthra rakho apne aap nu.... and also take care of others... so applying perfume or deos is one step in keeping urself clean and avoiding other peoples botheration....

Deodorant is neccesary. We have to put it on or we will smell and people won't feel good with us. Puttin an excessive amount of perfume is not goo. It is just wasting money and not all people feel good about the smells of perfume or cologne. Use Deodorant but it is ok to use perfume/cologne. It is not neccesarry if you have deodorant.

    • Umm, that's totally irrational, bro. There are plenty of prakash-dara Singhs in Punjab (less than we'd like, but still plenty). No one cares that you are sabat soorat. It isn't 1986. You can walk around in chola, kurta-pajama, or jeans. Whatever. If you want the look @dallysingh101 is referring to, just go into a cheap clothing shop (not a Western-style mall) and buy some shirts for 250 rupees or a track suit for 2000 rupees. You'll get the cheap stuff made in some sweatshop in Bombay.
    • 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!!
