Just because rakhriya don't have a place in Sikhism DOESN'T mean it's all meaningless.

um...if they dont have a place in sikhism, then that would mean for guru ke sikh, they would be meaningless...no? isnt that kind of obvious?

example: the jeneau has no meaning is sikhism, hence its totally meaning for guru ke sikh, but if u look at hinduism, it does have meaning...

Unbelievable!!. When I start this topic I though 1 or 2 reply on information on shops. But here whole lot of debate starts on celebration!.I am sikh & was not aware that this issue is so serious. Did Akal Takht give any directions on celebrations on rakhri,. Should we stop? Sangat please share information if any such directicves are issued.

Anyway I went to Havelock road Gurudwara ( singh sabha) this weekend in southall. Rakri was being sold by sikh family right across the road in a shop. It was nice change to see so many desis all around.

This story or "fairy tale" came into existence after an artist painted a picture which was argued to be encouraged by the RSS.

Paste from another thread,

guru Nanak dev ji who had the nerve to upset the whole Brahmin establishment by refusing to wear a Janeoo, the scared hindu thread, would seem pretty hypocritical by wearing a string on his wrist signifying his love for his sister and his commitment to her as a brother.

guru sahib's commitment to God could not be represented by teh janeoo, but his comitment to his sister was represented by a thread around his wrist?

i think common sense is in order here.

As for a sikh family selling Rakhri outside a gurudwara, does not mean it as any meaning. Every Gurudwara preety much as a pub next to it usually owned by an apna, so it doesnt mean anything.

I think it's hilarious how some of the religious wingnuts will even use a simple inquiry like rakhri to fan their own egoes since they're 'above' such practices and then get on their anti-gurmat soapbox to impress everyone on how 'enlightened' they are and use it as an opportunity to lecture others, fyi to all of you, you're not Gurus, so stop acting like it.

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
