Sikhs dont believe in symbolism or idol worship.

If there was "Ik Oankaar" enscribed on these products, then we would have an issue as it is Gurbani. Gurbani cannot be counted for as a symbol. The Khanda has become a symbol of Sikhism because that is what the white folk turned our faith into.

Well it ain't your Sanathan/Hindu Khanda is it

well the white folk turned our panth into a faith/religion...

I have to disagree with the symbolism view. Khalsa fauj HAS to be symbolic (if you get my gist?)

Not really. Khalsa fauj should not aim to be symbolic. Khalsa fauj is not to give "dekhaavaa". Every part of our being has a purpose - from Bana to Bani, there is a purpose. Guru Jee never gave us symbols! White folk say that our hair is a symbol of our religion... that our Kakaar are symbols of our faith. But we know different (i hope).

Khalsa fauj doesnt HAVE to be anything apart from being what it says on the tin - KHALSA FAUJ. Be pure. Be brave.

hmmm, well I would say an army needs to be recognisable. And by seeing a singh,s appearance, the bana, kamarkassa, dumalla and shastars visible, you would be able to tell that someone is part of this fauj. I do understand what you are saying though :)

I do know that Guru Hargobind's Akal Sehna wasn't that recognisable.

I also hope so lol.....

we need to stop using Khanda for our benefits as well. Most businesses owned by sikh people have khanda on their shops and vehicles. e.g. grocery stores, meat stores, auto stores and many more. We should not use Khanda for business purposes. There is no one to blame for this other than ourselves. We are the ones who started commercialization of Khanda and Khalsa by naming every other business as Khalsa..... and putting Khandas on shop boards

      Concept of Sin

      By BhForce · Posted

      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

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      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.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      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!!

      Is suraj parkash right? is it a reliable source of info?

      By BhForce · Posted

      Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
