It Guru Ji's Bana Not Nihang Bana!


Recommended Posts

Because you are talking as if just because guroo sahib is a so called "Akali Nihang" all other akali nihangs have the same right to make decisions YOU DONT.

Well I was actually merely trying to say that because Guru Sahib was nihang, then they also created bana as a nihang as well.

Nice how you ignored the main point of my post, why don't you answer the question? can't you? or any other so called nihang for that matter?

Which is the elitism, right? Please explain further what you find elitist, if I have been.

benti to people, do not use straw man arguments. This is when a person defeats a fake argument/point that the other person did not make. It's unbecoming of Sikhs.

For example, someone posted "Basically to say that only Nihangs should wear bana is ludicrous, especially for those people not born into nihang famil"

Nobody on the thread said, or even remotely implied this.

As Sikhs, honesty is very important for us, it has a hyooooooge effect on our jeevans & is a Hukam from Waheguru.

I don't mean to offend anyone.

Firstly, I wasn't targetting you in particular :)

But anyway, the point I am making is, so Guroo Ji's army rank is Akali Nihang right? Just a way of organising the fauj.

However, above all Guroo Ji is a KHALSA, so why must nihangs insist on calling it NIHANG bana, why not KHALSA bana?

The impression I am getting seems to be that the reason for this is that by firstly defining Nihang as only one who has taken amrit at a certain place, joined a "dal", by calling KHALSA bana nihang bana, a minority group within the panth is trying to monopolise on the Khalsa's dress and shut it off from the whole panth.

Well when the Khalsa fauj was all nihangs, I am pretty sure nihang bana would have been a justifiable term. When other Singhs came about, jathas and whatever else, also namdharis etc, I am sure they didn;t adopt this bana straight away. For example, Singhs in the British forces didn't wear nihang bana did they, and I think akali nihang khalsa fauj would have been against British anyway.

But I don't see the point of shutting off KHALSA bana to only one group of people.

Guroo Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj is KHALSA, his kakkars are for the KHALSA not just nihangs, and so is the Bana.

Who are you to decide that it was only given to "nihangs", how do you know that, like kakkars, it wasnt given to the whole Khalsa Panth?

Guru Gobind Singh ji was an Akali NIHANG

Can i have proof that Guroo Gobind Singh Jee was a Nihung ie written accounts of the time of Guroo Jee or shortly after (upto 1720) that actually refer to Guroo Jee as a Nihung or give Guroo Jee the title Akali

Nihungs also refer to Guroo Nanak Dev Jee as 'Akali'...does this mean that Guroo Nanak Dev Jee is a Nihung too?

lol... I can't be bothered any more, why should I waste my time with people trying to be pedantic for the sake of it.

At the end of the day, Guroo Sahib is a Khalsa, his uniform- 5 kakkars, chola, shastars are for the Khalsa.

    • 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?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj.
