Satnam...

Vaaheguroo Jee Kaa Khaalsaa, Vaaheguroo Jee Kee Fateh

Why do some of the sikh say 'Satnam' instead of 'Vaaheguroo Jee Kaa Khaalsaa, Vaaheguroo Jee Kee Fateh'? Because in Sikh Student camp, there was a singh (think he was chinese) and everytime he finished a yoga lesson he said 'satnam' to us instead of saying the fateh, and everyone was confused on what to reply back so we just kind of turned around without sayin anything....does anyone know why they say satnam to start or end a conversation?

Whenever he sees another Singh approaching at a distance. He greets him with 'Vaheguru Jee Kaa Khalsa! Vaheguru Jee Kee Fatheh!!'

The 3HO singhs use the greeting satnaam , but that is not a Sikhi greeting hukam is that we use the above .

Waheguroo jee ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo jee kee Fateh!

Actually , it doesn't say that at all does it?

aagae aavath si(n)gh j paavai || vaahiguroo kee fathae bulaavai ||

That litlerally means when a Singh comes, say "Waheguroo's fateh"

That hukam I dont believe was written by our gurus, nor put into the SGGS. A greeting is a greeting.

Waheguroo jee ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo jee kee Fateh!

you can use Sat Nam , just like some sikhs who arnt amritdhari always say Sat sri akal instead of a full fateh................

also Sat Nam is a very powerful mantra which is closely linked to kundalini yoga........this is why they say it to greet or when answering the phone.......it isnt a replacement of the Fateh.........

from my experience many usually reply in full fateh if you greet them with it .............but if your gona keep bumping into them like at a camp theres nothing wrong with saying Sat Nam.

we should implement it when we arent gona say fateh ........ and yea you can reply with vaheguru..............

some apnai dont every say sat sri akal properly, its like a sasrikal.....lol

some people shorten it to khalsa fateh as well, i duno whats so hard about saying it out in full

that's lame....

the cool thing about saying "Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh!", is that you get to say Waheguru 2x every time you see another Sikh! it's like extra bonus naam jap! :D

kill the infidels

:D that's why i love you man. lol... kill them all and let God sort them out!

    • 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.
