Well, same for the first one; doesn't look like he even washed his hands ohmy.gif

Yeah, I agree with you; what's the point in having it so small?

Still, interesting post.

The world's smallest Granth Sahib is a complete miniature scripture, 2.5cm wide and 2.5cm tall and is bound in gold. It was published in Germany close to 100 years ago. The miniatures were apparently created for soldiers of the Sikh regiment when they went to war, as it could be easily carried.

Although the motive for the creation of such pocket size Guru Granth Sahib is aimed for a good cause; I wondered, how would one respect the service of looking after the Guru Granth Sahib take place.

Presumably having the Guru Granth Sahib in one’s ‘pocket’; is that respectful. What other sort of things would there be in one’s pocket? Would one be putting the Guru Granth Sahib to ‘sleep’? And most importantly, would it be right to be killing others whilst in the presence of carrying the Guru Granth Sahib?

the soldiers were fighting for the world during that time...if it wasn't for their bravery the holocaust and massacre of innocent people would have continued...if it wasn't for them who knows, maybe Hitler and early Germany could have tooken over enitre Europe and Asia as a dictator who slaves his people.

Sikhi promotes Freedom...and what those soldiers did was fight for freedom....

and the other comment, it is not that his hands are dirty, it is of old age and the use of the hands...which make them look like that...we can't make any assumptions cuz we personally do not know right.

also,

guru gobind singh ji too had his minitaure version of Guru Granth sahib ji as well...as a matter of respect maybe their was beadbi maybe there wasn't...aslong as those brave soldiers kept their faith at times where they were discriminated against by their own country shows us how much courage they must of have....most of us in those situations would have easily cut our hair so we would not be ridiculed....and not even remember guru sahib but these brave soldiers, accepted their faith, accepted their guru and took gurus hukam where ever they went, while risking their lives.

:umm: I didn't think of that when I saw it right away, but you're right we shouldn't make assumptions; my bad :/ But you shouldn't assume that he's all goody-good either then, right? :umm:

    • 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.
