Don't listen to peoples fables - The elders have no idea what they do and what the origin of most things are. Doubt that it's anything to to do with Shiv of rudra pudra etc.

if a muslim or hindu says guru shuru ..... a sikh will say he will go to narak isnt it so ..... :D

its symbol of shiva .... u want to change sikhi u can .... but the truth will always come on top .... how about asking a singh who wears this chand on his turban .... rolleyes.gif

And of course every Sikh who wears one knows the true reason. - I'll ask a scholar not any person who may THINK they know!

BTW - Did you or anybody provide actual proof if it's associated with Shiv? or is it just what makes you feel warm within?

No i'll ask a person who has knowledge of it. I just don't believe it's the symbol of Shiv's winky.

see thats what i heard but i didnt want to say coz i thought it was kinda weird. i did get one good explanation from singh who doesn't wear a chand, nor a dumalla. he said 'the khanda in the middle has a representation to death and the ending of someones life, the moon is there as it is a symbol which represents having a calm and cool state of mind. so in effect, the complete chand symbol represents being able to end someones life in battle but keeping anger at bay and not letting it overcome your actions'.

good explanation, no?

but then i ask, what are dangly things below the chand, what do the represent. do they have a meaning also or are they jus there to assist when tying the chand on the dumalla with the tora.

jassa singh ji, i would love to ask someone who wears a chand on their dumalla what it means but again, its either i haven't been in a situation where i can ask such an individual, or the individual just doesnt know.

bhul chuk maaf

waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh

Its the union of shiv shakti, or energy and matter.

All of this is symbolism, thats what youve got to remember, its not literaly shivas <admin-profanity filter activated>, or shaktis genitalia. its a union of energies. which is akaal, akaal has both destructive and creative energies, and because singhs are the defenders of the faith they must incorporate both destructive and creative energy in the way of restoring righteosness.

    • 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!!
