Full Rehras Sahib

While I have no problems with anyone reading the longer Rehras Sahib or shabads before Sohila Sahib, I have serious problems with someone saying those are the "genuine" ones and others are incomplete.

I have never seen Baba Deep Singh's gutka and I doubt a genuine one exists. If it does, I'd be very interested to see it.

As for Sohila Sahib: Guru Granth Sahib has the original nitnem banis at the very start. Japji Sahib, Sodar (Rehras) and Sohila Sahib. The extra shabads are great to do but they don't form part of the Sohila Sahib as was part of the original nitnem and as it appears at the start of Sri Guru Granth Sahib.

There are so many versions of Rehras Sahib today and frankly they keep changing as well. The Bhindar Kala Taksal starts their Rehraas at "Dukh Daroo", Bhindran Mehta starts at "Har jug jug". The Rehras Sahib found at the start of Guru Granth Sahib starts at "Sodar" and so it seems pretty clear wear the actual start is.

I could give a long article on this issue but why bother. My only point is that have some tolerance. If someone reads a different version of Rehras than you, don't be so bold to say that yours is "genuine"and the others are "shortened" or incomplete. In fact, do some research of your own and see what exactly Rehras Sahib was like in puratan times.

    • 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.
