yaar, thats why i didn't vote on this pole. i don't know who i am. i can't be precise. i think those who are strictly vegetarian also live in this same world. they inhale the same air that non-veggies do. as it is said in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji that only the fools querrel over the meat issue, and thats what we are now :@

I am also of the same view.I dont get the reason people give for being vegie(when they r not fully veggie).

Few popular ones are:

1) Killing is cruel: then why do we kill plants and why dont we live according to jains who take utmost care for not killing organisms.Why do we take medicines, use soap, and lottsa other things.

2) Meat is not for humans: Then why do we drink milk....it has the same properties.Why do we eat cakes and cookies.

3)Killing is sin: Then why do we kill plants.How do we know killing animals is a sin but not plants.

I really wanna see the fine line.I mean something which really answers everything.

And u r true...I m fool thats why I m arguing over meat as told by Guru Nanak dev ji.We all shud respect Akal Takhat (where they gave the freedom and told us not to fight over it) and be in His(God's) Hukam.

the shabad is "maas maas kar moorakh jhagray"

this does NOT mean "everybody who fights about meat is an <banned word filter activated>"

it means "the ritualistic pandit is a fool for he argues, 'this is meat,' 'that is meat'"

the shabad goes on to say that without 'gyaan' you will not know what is really meat and what is not

you will not realize what is OKAY and what is NOT okay to eat

this is called BIBEK BUDHEE and only Guru Sahib can bless it to you

and Guru Sahib's darshan happens through Guru Sahib - in the shabad jyot suroop of Baba Nanak - GURU GRANTH SAHIB JEE, read from GUru GRanth Sahib jee and do vichar (YES DO VICHAR ABOUT MEAT TOO!!!) and then have pyaar and

with reading,

listening,

accepting,

loving,

following gurbani

you will get bibek budhee

something I don't have yet because I don't practice rehit enough.

Please don't say that you are an <banned word filter activated> for discussing meat.

Idiots are those people who

1) say they are right and everybody is wrong

2) say everybody is right and the guru is wrong

3) don't even bother to find out the truth

I am sincerely sorry for anything I said against Gurmat and Saadh Sangat jee please forgive me and may Guru jee bless you with naam and chardee kalaa,

saajan thayray charan kee hoay rahaa sadh dhooR

Thanks for the reply Jsingh ji and SaadhRayn Kaur ji.

I juss wanna ask SaadhRayn Kaur ji the following questions:

1) How do u deal with the issues myself and Jsingh ji were discussing.

2) Do I need to reach certain spirtual level to get an idea of what it is all about?

3)Whats ur most convincing arguement abt not eating meat and how do u justify this?

4) Whats ur fine line where u think its okay if my action kills these organisms (including small organisms in water and air , plants and seeds too).....and u dont consider it a sin?

5)Whats ur definition for non-veggie and veggie?

And lastly...

5) Do u think Sikh eating meat is commiting a sin and has to be rebaptized if taken amrit?

Thnkx.

I'm a strict vegetarian. I was raised in a vegetarian family, so I have never had any meat or eggs in my lfe. Waheguru Ji De Kirpa. I always read all lables and everything. I do have one question regarding gelatin. As I unsderstand it, there are two types of gelatin one that comes from animals and the other from plants. How do know which is used in what? For example, the other day I had some Skittles. After having some, I read the package and it said it contained gelatin. How do I know that it is the animal kind and not the one from plants? I did do ardaas for forgiveness just to be safe. Any one have any facts?

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

Singh Jee all Gelatin is made from animals. The 'Gelatin' made from plants has a different name to it. Its called "PECTIN".

ps: I used to get my starburst (may be once skittles) from UK LOL :@ . Some candies you get over there don't have any animal products in it.

1) Killing is cruel: then why do we kill plants and why dont we live according to jains who take utmost care for not killing organisms.Why do we take medicines, use soap, and lottsa other things.
We don't live according to 'Jainies' because we are Sikh and so were our Guroo's. Thats what you are supposed to follow the way our Guroo Sahib lived their lives without meat. Simple as that. Plus all Herbivorous animals have Square teeth. And so do you and me. All the Carnivorous have sharp Teeth so they can eat meat.
2) Meat is not for humans: Then why do we drink milk....it has the same properties.Why do we eat cakes and cookies.

Again we are not killing any living organism on purpose just to get milk from the cow. Again None of the Guroo Sahib's said we couldn't drink it either. There are tons of examples of milk feeding in gurbani. like this one (Forgive me Guroo Jee for this) Its doesn't say MEAT KHAYO GOBINDAY..... you get the pic.

About the cookies and cake thing. My mom makes both at home. As a matter of fact I m gona go have a cookie right no

w... tongue.gif And she makes awesome cake :@

3)Killing is sin: Then why do we kill plants. How do we know killing animals is a sin but not plants.

I really wanna see the fine line.I mean something which really answers everything.

Is it really hard to Follow the way Guroo Sahib lived their lives?

This is to All the non-vegs.. Next time you are about to eat meat think about your Guroo Sahib (if you actually believe in him) would he be eating the same meat you are about to have?

My Guroo told me not to eat it. Thats only one best logic I can think of.

All the meat eaten by all the people is just for taste. NO such thing as a "NEED OF MEAT" its all "WANT OF MEAT". OUR Guroo Jee drank water, used to breath air, and ate plants and seeds. I try to do the same. I don't consider it a sin because My Guroo Sahib didn't.

Yup if you eat meat on purpose one would be a sinner for sure.

I can bet you if most of you Non- vegs had to kill your own meat, chop its head off, peel the skin off and see all that blood coming out and then wash your blood bathed clothes. you'll never eat meat again in your life.

    • 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.  
    • Author Posted April 24   On 4/21/2025 at 2:43 PM, ipledgeblue said: sirr should not be nanga because keski is usually worn.   Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . 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?
