Which Rehit?

[Saihajleen Kaur Khalsa]

Just wondered. So many different versions, I don't even know anymore, kinda depressing. Which do you follow and did you check it out before taking Amrit at that specific, or by that specific Jatha?

[V]

its REALLY hard to take Amrikt - that is oen of the reasons

bny knowing that the maryada is different,

I.e Nihangs Say u can eat meat - Akj say no

its like REALLY HARd

now, I want to take Amrit - Where i don't know

I jus want to accept the Panj's Hukam,

and don't want to 'pick and choose'

If Ima meat eater - I'd eat from Nihangs,

if Im a veggie, I take it from AKj

I DON'T CARE, what they say, I jus want to accept it and not 'choose' which rehit I want to take Amrit From

really depressing @

I want to, but I don't know where, how what etc @

I seriously don't want to 'choose' which Rehit I want to follow :WW: :WW:

Somone PLEASE help me :WW:

bhull chukk maaf

let's make a song about the number of rehits there are today... i'll steal the tune from Sesame Street:

"One of these rehits is not like the other, one of these rehits is not alike at all.

Can you tell me why there's so many rehits, before i start banging my head against a wall!"

[Son of Guru Gobind Singh Ji]

Akal Takhat Sahib all the way...!!

[Deep Singh]

i don't follow the Rehit,

i got Dastaar + do Paath and that...but not consider myself a Rehitvala, but when i take Amrit i will follow Akal Takht Sahib Rehit. the basis would be the Rehit published by SGPC, DGPC and other Sikh orgs in India, the titles 'Sikh Rehit Maryada'. However in the questions where Panth has not come to a total consensus i would also consider the Purataan Rehitnameh. i am very much aware that on many isssues they are not alike, but i have to look there too. Also i will see the Damdami Taksal 'Gurmat Rehit Maryada', and some points said by Akj, and other Sampardaya.

i mean that Rehit is so much that total Rehit can never be said in ONE document. and just like all other fields in Sikhi we got different schools and i cannot say that only one of them is perfect rest is fault. that is wrong. different Sampardaya were created on different period of times, they have there special part and all.

BUT NO Rehit is better then the Sri Guru Granth Sahib. every single Rehit should be considered with the Guru Sahib. that is the my opinion.

[V]

I'm right now a 'follower' of the Akal Takhat Maryada

and I think its Superb :wub:

Tho I don't 'follow' it all the way, I mean I like it, and I don't see anything wrong with it, jus feel a bit <Edited> off when people keep saying its corrupt etc :wub: @

Tho I'm still trying to follow it more and more,

Im a LOT behind Deep Singh jee

Thanks veero

vwihgurU jI kw Kwlsw!

vwihgurU jI kI &iqh!!

Yeah I agree. The akal thakt, despite their problems, is the supreme judiciary of Sikhism. Thus their rehat is the one to follow.

I think its ok to follow a rehit that is more strict than what they give too (ie: AKJ).

vwihgurU jI kw Kwlsw!

vwihgurU jI kI &iqh!!

[S1ngh]

I follow waheguru rehit first !

then

I give 100% props to Akal Takht cauz thats the only institution we shud follow cauz guru sahib je told us soo..

[Saihajleen Kaur Khalsa]

I reckon the one that follows the most authentic Rehitname and the one with unbroken lineage in terms of Samparda is Damdami Taksaal. Cos I dont believe in eating meat AT ALL and believe in the Raagmala and wearing Dastar. Even though people say Im a Nanaksariyee or aa, lol, I reckon Taksaali's the best, they just back everything up, but I took Amrit from Nishkam Sewa Jatha Gurughar and now Im gona bang my head against that wall, so Japmans Bro, sing that chorus again and again *ouch* @

[Deep Singh]

lol...

Yeah Taksal is safe. it is a great institution...got great respect for Taksali Singhs

i can tell you that if right now i had the chance to get Amrit. this is the place i would go.

But still i hold SikhRehitMaryada at a high level. even though Taksali Singhs are not for that. BUT Akal Takht is the ONLY institution where we can be united and have a common path. some call it is the official version. AND that means when Sarbat Khalsa is present we can agree upon various issues, and that i like the most. the Guru Khalsa Panth. and i think Taksalis are for that too....but there are offcourse differences between views of Taksal and the present SikhRehitMaryada, but one day all that would be sorted out. just respect guys...

aah i remember what i read a while ago written by Dr. Kharak Singh jee

ties03.htm [at last..read the part about need for an apex body (Guru Panth)

Role of Existing Organisations

The proposed Apex Body of the Sikhs is not intended to replace any of the existing institutions. Rather, it will provide them with the support and the Panthic authority they need to discharge their functions. The SGPC and DSGMC will continue to manage the gurdwaras under their charge, as heretofore. In fact, the joint authority of the SGPC and DSGMC should be extended to other gurdwaras also throughout India, through suitable legislation. The Shiromani Akali Dal should continue to look after political interests of the Sikhs in India. The World Sikh Council should be reorganised and enabled to secure a respectable position for Sikhs among the international community. The Chief Khalsa Diwan, and some other organisations like the Sikh Education Society, should be entrusted with the responsibility of providing quality education to the Sikh youth. The Institute of Sikh Studies and Guru Gobind Singh Study Circle should be strengthened and encouraged to take up research work, translation of Gurbani, and production of suitable material for dissemination of information on Sikh religion, culture and history. The Damdami Taksal and Missionary Colleges as well as Nihangs will continue to play the traditional role assigned to them in history.

Before I conclude I must say that it was neither my intention, nor is it possible in this brief address to provide a blueprint for the proposed Apex Body of the Panth. That has been left to the learned scholars who will present their papers in this seminar. I have only stressed the urgent need for it. There is no other way we can survive as Panth and make our contribution towards advancement of mankind. The Guru beckons us. Let us respond to his call and carry out the task assigned to u

s under the doctrine of Guru Granth-Guru Panth.

that view is just great :wub:
