most ancient saints before Guru Nanak Dev ji covered their heads and had uncut hair.

the maryada we've been given as Sikhs is just one way of many to become one with God.

people nowadays are obsessed with outward things and dont realise that prem, paath and simran are the most important things - the physical aspects follow naturally, and are only mandatory if you want to become amrit dhari.

Sikhs dont have a dominion over God - what makes you think that he was in a different saroop to the modern Khalsa that he wouldnt become on with God.

outward appearance will always be secondary to whats inside of you.

Sikhi was revealed by Guru Nanak Dev Ji - it has always been here - Bhagat Ravidas Ji's Bani is in Guru Granth Sahib and as such he is one of our Gurus.

As per what a sikh is in description from mguru granth sahib ji .. he was a sikh .. their were numerous sikhs before guru nanak dev jis time ..

A sikh was later defined under guru gobind singh ji under the KHALSA .. a khalsa defines a sikh and a sikh defines a khalsa.. the word sikh was used many times before guru nanak dev jis time ..

i dont know much, this is what a more knowledgeable person told me once :wub:

bhul chuk maph ..

Gurfateh,

The "Hindu" or "Muslim" Sants found in the SGGS were beyond religion, caste, race, gender. They acheived oneness with Waheguru, for that reason they were of no religion. Baba Farid, a Sufi Muslim did not care about Islam in particuar, just God/Allah/Waheguru/Ram(not the hindu ram diety). A Sikh is a person who follows the ways of the ten Gurus Jis who brought us the knowledge and way of the Sants (who had no religion and they rejected everything except their utter desire to meet/see Waheguru). So a Sikh or Sikhi is special in the sense that it is the perfection of religion, there are not biases that most religions have integrated into their scriptures or doctrines. Also, the SANTS were NOT GURUS. They were Sants. The Gurus created the Sikh religion and the SANT did not create any religion. Gurus fall at the mercy of the Sant, Guru Nanank Ji ask to be dust of the Sants feet. And as Sikhs, from Gurbani we realize how perfect our Gurus were. So if someone trying to see who is better or higher...will find themselves running in circles. The humility the Gurus had for the SANT due the love the Sant had for Waheguru is incomprehensible. So people creating Gurdwaras under the name of the Sants are actually going against the vision and beliefs of the SANT. The sant says only GOD IS THE WAY, only HE is the savior and ONLY he should be followed and loved. The Guru brought us this knowledge and their life experiences and sacrifices of the Gurus we were blessed with the knowledge on how to become a SANT and later a Sipahi.

Hope this helps,

strugling Sikh

    • 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.
