near my relatives in Machiwara there is a gurdwara called " Kirpan Bhet" . do anyone know about the history of this gurdwara?

When Guri Gobind Singh Ji left Machiwara he was carried by Ghuni Khan, Nabhi Khan, Bhai Mani Singh and Bhai Dharam Singh in a palanquin. Guru Ji was stopped by the mughal army. They asked the men who they were carrying and they said it was Uch Da Pir (i.e. the Pir from the village Uch). As a mark of respect the army general requested that he wanted to feed the "Pir". To this the two pathans Ghuni and Nabhi Khan replied that the Pir was fasting (i.e as is the custom in Islam). This was quick thinking as otherwise Guru Ji would have to eat undesirable food. However, the army general insisted he wanted to feed the "servants" of the Pir. The servants could not refuse as it was only the Pir who was fasting. It was at this time that Guru ji told Bhai Dharam Singh and Mani Singh to "bhet" their kirpan in the food and it will be blessed and become parshad before they eat it. From that day onwards kirpan bhet was started as a way of blessing food.

This gurdwara stands at that spot.

In Malaysia the government has basically insisted that all food products should be deemed "halal" and majority of the restaurants have the "halal" mark too.

BUT this doesnt stop so called malaysia "Sikhs" from stuffing their faces with macdonalds, kentucky etc and restaurant food where there is clear "Halal" sign printed!!!

Chapter 20 Panth Parkash of Rattan Singh (Sakhi Machhiwarde ki likhyate)

Guru Gobind Singh had just escaped Chamkaur Sahib and arrived near the village of Machhiwara, where he devised a plan to travel in disguise. His two companions who had helped him escape, the Pathan brothers Nabi and Gani Khan were disguised as Hajjis, as were some Singhs who were the Guru's bodyguards. While Guruji himself was disguised as Uch da Pir, making way towards his dargah in Uch. They got to the village of Kanaich. There was a Masand in the village called Fateh and Guruji called upon him to help him continue his journey. Guruji asked for the Masands horse and offered compensation, but the evil Masand refused as he feared the authority's noose if he dared to help Guruji. Guru Gobind Singh prophesised that the Masand will one day appear before the noose and indeed in the future the Masand met his death at the Lahore gallows.

Guruji and his companions continued further to another village called Doraha and stopped at a serai. The local Muslims, seeing a holy pir passing amongst them insisted that the Guru and his companions stay the night and eat a meal with them (of course they did not know who the real identity of the 'pir' was).

'Guruji's Pathan companions argued with the local Mulla that the 'pir' was observing roza (fasting) and he only could break this upon nightime by taking strictly oats only. Furthermore they told the local Muslims that the 'pir' would thereafter not say a word as he would meditate with the rosary in silent prayer. To counteract any suspicions, the Pathan brothers told the locals that they and the rest of the group (the Singhs) would happily eat with them.

The Singhs were worried that they would have to eat halal food and break their Khalsa rahet. Guru Gobind Singh told them that they must sanctify the food by touching it with their kirpans. Furthermore he said that in exceptional circumstances or under duress this act does not make one loose one's rahet and thus make one a Muslim. He further said that this clarification only stood as long as a Singh was not in a relationship with a Muslim woman.

Guru Gobind further asked the Singh's to save some food for breakfast by bringing back a portion which he'll keep. Also if they were still concerned after eating the food to imagine that they are bathing at Amritsar before they go to sleep, which will alleviate their fears.

The Singhs did as the Guru said and touched their dishes with the kirpans. The local Muslims questioned this act and the Pathan brothers quickly spoke up, saying that it was a new Islamic practice done by Muslims going on Hajj.

The next day the Singhs, Pathan brothers and Guruji departed. To the Sikhs' delight the left over food that was placed in a bowl before Guruji the previous night had turned into kheer and halwa.

(Doraha village in Machhiwara locality is off the GT road east of Ludhiana - This is where the gurudwara is located and I hope the above story explains some of what you will see if visiting the site).

I used to do marijuana when I was in College (late 1960's), but I quit. I don't think any religion can justify the use of it. Sikhs look like good people with good morals. Don't do what I did and kill your brain cells. That's why I'm just a big, fat, nobody on a ranch all to myself and have to talk to the animals for conversation because my family treats me pretty bad and society has rejected me.

the singhs called horses their JAAN BHAIS, they would NEVER EVER think of killing what they considered their brother, and also COMMITING A KUREHIT.

It is the greatest insult to say these Shaheed singhs who gave their everything for sikhi would value their lives over their rehit and their guroo's pyaar. To say such a thing is to SPIT on their memory.

ITS THESE NANGS WHO ARE TWISTING SIKHI, 100% OF PANTHIC JATHAS PROHIBIT MEAT AND DRUGS AS DO 100% OF MAHAPURSHS.

SINGHS WOULD DIE BEFORE COMMITING KUREHIT, NO EXCEPTIONS TO REHIT

END.

Gyani Takhur Singh talks about Jhatka maryada in one of his kathas

As for marijuana i dont see how it can aid one when fighting in battle it decreases memory, increases paranoia and definitely messes up the nervous system...any chemical introduced into the body for a prolong period of time could cause the body to become reliant on it. look at caffiene as a example.

or i could be wrong and dont no what i'm chatting about :-)

Exactly .

I wouldn't care for the circumstances.. I would rather die than go against Guru Ji's Hukam.

Once at an Amrit Sanchaar I asked one of the Panj Piyare that if the consumption of meat is acceptable in the need of survival. He told me that if one cant sustain him/herself with food then one should feast off the true Naam.

thanks angrez and jangal da. that is the sakhi of this gurdwara. i knew it having had darshan of this gurdwara but didnt think that many people had heard of it.

also can the whole world be sikh? I ask this as i was watching a programme on Inuits who live in north north canada. They rely on seals to survive in the land they were born. Could these people ever become Sikhs? and hence as some would insist veggies?

What about nomads ? People who live in mountians ? Jungles? or conditions adverse to growing crops that could sustain a number of people? could these people ever truly be Sikhs?

Also are we vegetarians really vegetarians or do we pretend to be?

i ask this cos so many of God's innocent creatures are killed during the ploughing of the soil and the reaping of the crops by people/machines and the essence/blood/rath of the dead/dying creatures goes into the soil and hence into the wheat/crops/onions etc that we vegetarians eat. I myself have witnessed this and keep thinking im eating dead animals whenever i eat roti and sabzi.

I mean Guru Granth Sahib says that even the buried bodies that find their way in the potters clay. Coudnt these same bodies be finding there way into our food?

Inconvenient truths Chatanga.

Also people should not use results from studies of marijuanaa in the west to comapre to that in East. They are too seperate things, one being refined with chemicals.. i.e. 'skunk' which does have all the negative effects on your brain. Pure sukha (or degh as singhs call it) is different to whats used by people in the west leads to all sorts of problems.

People who say they would rather die than disobeying Gurus hukam... well anyone who even remotely studies our history finds references to Singhs eating meat and having cannibas laced drinks. Both are reffered to in the works of Bhai Rattan Singh Bhangu shaheed whose family gave many genrations of shaheedia for the panth. If you disagree with its use thats fine, but please dont insults the shaheeds of past by suggesting the went against the very Gurus hukam whom they gave their life for.

Giani Thakur Singh gives a good neautral prespective on it.

The other point, some people recognise it was used by Singhs for battlefield reasons and Giani Thakur Singh also says Maharajs fauj were allowed to do it which is why the Nihang Singhs do it. You can joke about these traditions all you want. If you are saying these traditions should be abondoned because we are no longer in war... should they put sell their shastar and horses? put away their nishan and nagaray that they have had since the times of their Gurus? They are concerned with preserving these traditions. If you have a problem with it... its your problem, deal with it and dont make out Puratan Singhs are going against Gurus hukam just because they are doing something the head of YOUR JATHEBANDI said your jathebandi cant do.... dont wast your life arguing about it.

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
