Sangath Jio,

I came across a Singhnee, happened to be my sister in law's friend and she's just recently had a baby. And she was saying that after a Singhnee gives birth she needs 2 re-take Amrit again, is this true? ... grin.gif

I've never come across this untill this Singhnee told me now I'm totally confused wacko.gif .

No. she may want to go pesh if they removed her kesh but there is nothing to say she will have to reatke amrit. It wouuld depend on personal circumstances. go peshh if it puts your mind at ease.

I don't think you should just get up and goto your local gurdwara to get pesh for little things of this nature.

Do you think Guru ji can't comprehend under which circumstances it was removed?

Why are we so bothered about righting a wrong like removal of kacheray when we arn't so bothered about moral purity. We lie countless times a day, do we go get pesh for that for every single lie? Now tell me is lieing worse or removing your kachera? It seems very superstitious and irrational.

I think getting pesh has just become a formality for many people.

I highly doubt in the end your going to lose points for you removing your kachera vs lieing, and etc.

I agree and to add on, what makes you think there is a kurehat in giving birth(only exception if your kes are removed). This is the same superstitious women look down upon thing. It is natural and a God given thing. why not rather go Pesh for anything close to lust? just an example... if you get wfat i mean.

I agree kakkars are important.

Your quote is ambigious. Under what circumstances are we not allowed to remove them?

Think outside the box. We should be rational and logical as Sikhs. Thats why we're considered a modern and scientific religion. Afterall thats what really seperates us from most religions.

Guru Nanak Dev Ji showed the importance of rational thinking, when he was in Hardwar and the Hindu bathing there were "giving" water to the sun. So to show them how irrational that was, Guru Ji started "giving" water to his fields. And when the priests all laughed at that, Guru Ji replied, my fields are much closer than your sun.

Its different when you take it off just because you think a kachi is more comfortable, lol.

But wheres the logic behind going and getting pesh for removing your kachera for something you must do.

I think most people go get pesh for such things so they can tell others. Why? you may ask. Because it leaves a perception of them, with people, as being "hardcore" Sikhs.

One has to be concerned how much of the sentiment comes from the mainstream indian concept of relating menstrual cycles and childbirth to impurity. Even if this thinking had no part to play, I don’t think that is really necessary. However, I’m open to hearing otherwise.

Regardless, it seems to me that if some people are more comfortable reaffirming their commitment in this manner then all the power to them. If our discipline is to do a particular bani once a day, but someone does it twice that day so be it ---with one very very important condition.

This condition is that the most important thing is probably a deeper education and understanding of sikhi for all of us. This is crucial in keeping discipline from becoming ritual. When we don't understand enough of why we do something it becomes a ritual to feed insecurities.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
