kara is a bakhshish given to a sikh by guru sahib WITH amrit.

withtout amrit, kara isn't really a kara, its just a bangle. just like without amrit, one can wear a daggar but after amrit the dagger is transformed into a kirpan.

bhul chuk maaf.

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH

To Guru Ji's Sipahi:

http://www.damdamitaksal.com/lit_basicsfivek.htm

quote from tha link:

The following five K's are the mark of Sikhi.These five can never be parted from the body. Kara, Kirpan, Kashera, Kangha, recognise these as four of them.The fifth is Kesh, without which the other four are useless. There are also four H's which must be avoided. Understand this without any doubt, no lies have been told. Hukka, taking tobacco (including any other type of intoxicants). Hajamat, removing of hair. Halalo, eating meat. Haram, adultery (sexual relationships outside of marriage). These are the four H's. Dyeing of beards (including any other body hair), and the wearing of mehndi (including other types of make up) are strictly forbidden. (Sri Dasam Granth)

What is wrong with eating meat? Besides, taksal is just a sect in Sikhism. There are groups in Sikhism that believe in eating meat and doing drugs (refer to the Nihangs)

At least you are wearing one of the 5 k's. LOL.gif

I think it is important so I can distinguish between people from Sikh backgrounds and those not. I know people will say some people (you know who) wear karay to pull some dumb girls but generally it it is quite accurate to tell if someone is an upna or not.

Plus it is some form of connection to Sikhism.

True.

I don't have kesh, neither do I wear a kara. If I do wear one, I would be acting like I'm a religious Sikh, but that's just in my opinion, I wouldn't disagree with someone who wears one with no kesh, as long as they don't abuse it.

Lets turn it around, how about a Sikh who keeps kesh but with no kara?

Lets really turn it around. How about a Sikh with 5 kakkars and no morals i.e. the whole of the S.G.P.C and the Akali Dal?

I've got something that I've been thinking about that I would like to share with with the brothers and sisters. i was thinking, just hypothetically, that I wouldn't make my child grow their hair and be kesh dhari until I knew they could fight real good and were morally upright. Someone once told me that an amritdhari who can't really fight like a hardcore warrior should be made to take his kakkars off because they are frauds and nothing like the people they are trying to imitate.

What do the sangat think of this point?

I know about Bhai Joga, but still he was an exception to enforce a point about compassion being important for a Singh.

I read in Bachitar Natak that Guru Gobind after his first few battles threw the people who refused to fight out of Anandpur and rewarded the ones that did.

    • 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!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
