wjkkwjkp!

It is a BUJHAR KUREHAT for a Sikh to eat anything which is halal - regardless if it is halal meat or not. Anything that has the Kalma recited over it becomes "Halal" and this is a Bujhar Kurehat. Be careful of what you eat!!

wjkkwjkp!

Bajjar kurehit is for Halal meat (or any meat depending on what your Panj Pyaare told you). Halal in the Islamic sense also means something thats ok for Muslims to eat. Even in Punjabi we are to earn "halal di kamaaee", meaning hard earned and honest money. Please don't misunderstand the term Halal as only meat. In Dubai I have seen biscuits made in India that have the green dot on them (100% vegetarian), and a small label next to it saying Halal. I am dead sure that in India no one recites the Kalma while making these biscuits.

Not Really becoz its not just the meat, its the prayer. Sikhs don't believe in the rituals that the food undergoes because you can't really make the food holier. Food is food- (unless it's M&S food but that's beside the point.)

Oh, so now it's the prayer. So what do sikhs say about Kosher food then? A Rabbi also does a prayer when preparing the food. Should we eat it?

So what about Sikhs who recite japji sahib over food or even when degh is prepared, isnt Japji Sahib recited? Is that a pointless ritual?

I wish akj_4eva_akj made a post here and expressed his views. I really want him to post :lol: . Love his posts.

hahaha

if you insist

the best thing is to prepare your own food, and do naam simran, gurbani abyaas whilst doing this

i dont think that by a muslim doing prayers over food and you consuming it, will make it a bujjar kurehit.

and as for the polo business, just have food that you prepare yourself, not sweets/chocolates etc.

    • 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.
