i think it just cleans it better than water

really? I wouldn't have thought so. If i get a yoghurt stain on my jeans, i'd use water to get it out.

also, isn't yoghurt full of sugars like Lactose etc, which bacteria etc would happily ferment?

I have seen nishan sahib being cleaned with milk too, never really understood it :umm:

I thought water was the best thing available for cleaning purposes :gg:

Waheguroo jee ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo jee kee Fateh!

Its because of the brown mentality that if something is more expensive, then it must be better. Since milk was considered "very special" in good old india, and expensive, using milk signified having more respect, because obviously the more expensive thing must be better.

I await the day when we move up from milk --> dehi --> ice cream.

it may be because hindus wash sacred statues and so forth with milk in india, and so people in sikhi, as is the case many times, just convert those rituals into sikh rituals.

i went to a mandir recently and saw enough rituals there to realize where all the rituals in our gurdwaras come from.

anyways, give milk to the poor, wash the floors with water. our gurus were more practical than these things..

or it may be compared to how people go crazy to touch the palki sahib at darbar sahib, but then they have empty rooms upon rooms near the akaal takhat with akhand path going on with no listeners. so people have reached a point where worshipping guru granth sahib as an idol is faith whereas actually taking teh time to read the gurbani inside of it as a bother.

guru granth sahib has 1429 angs or pages, obviously guru sahib wanted us to do a lot of reading and learn something. but its more convenient to do blind rituals, and of course at the end of the day call it sharda.

chalo,

peace.

    • 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.
