A Question To Fellow My Brothers And Sisters?

Recommended Posts

To the OP:

Do you think Amrit Sanchar is a ritual? How about rising at amritvela and doing your nitnem bani? How about removing your kachera after bathing and replacing it with a new one without being separated from it at any time? Or matha-tekking to Guru Granth Sahib and leaving an offering in a Gurdwara?

You seem to have a distaste for Hindu practices and ideology. Have you read the Dasam Granth? What do you think of Chaubis Avatar or the Chandi Charitras?

Why do your arguments reek of Kala-Afghana and co?

The two video's that you posted related to aarti. The first one is of a CULT known as the neeldhari. Dont know anything about themto be honest but cult should really give taht away.

The second is a nihung smagam video, They are singing aarti as all Bani is written in raag to music, the line when they throw flowers is the line saying "Phulan ki baraka barakave" This means to shower with flowers. This part of the aarti was written by Guru Gobind SIngh Ji Maharaj and can be found in Gur Dasam Darbar ang 183.

You can see it within many of the world faiths and cultures that giving flowers or showering flowers on someone is a sign of respect. They are showing their respect by showering Maharaj with flowers. But to understand that you need to BELIEVE that Maharaj is Maharaj because of his qualities not just by name.

It still is not clear if this goes on in your Gurdwara or not, the discussion is spiralling in to something else altogether.

Veer ji,

Firstly, a distinction should be made between the use of ritualism and routine, routine is integral to Sikhi as being a true GurSikh a person needs discipline and routine within their lives, it brings order to ones life in being practicing Sikhi purely. Therefore routine, isn't interchangable in regards to ritualism; it is a ritual if one performs something as a means of gain or praise or something which resembles a custom in it... i.e. if people does this as a means of praying or communicating with God our religion clearly states this isn't justified! Waheguru's charan can be obtained only by leading a pure life and gaining the Gian needed to do so, no other practices can be justified in attempting to educate and gain knowledge themselves about the message of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj. The Dasam Granth uses symbolism; although there is great doubt I do believe this should be an integral part of Sikih, a debate which I really don't see valid holding.

In regards to Kala Afghana, I haven't really heard much of what he says, it seems through sangats that I've been told that he does say some quite controversial stuff, I'm willing to give anybody a listen be it AKJ, Taksali, Afghana or anybody who believes to have a knowledge of Sikhi as long as it is logical and in accordance to Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, if they are not then I dismiss their arguments and put forward mine as a means to prove them wrong. However, if Kala Afghana is anti-Sikh then I assure you I have no common ground with him.

My point is that should Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji be given the respect to not be worshipped in an idolistic manner, but to be read and learnt from instead of reading it and not knowing what anything in it means? ... personally its quite hurtful as a Sikh to hear people try to add an element which does not in any way show true Sikhi, this is not the correct parchar which should be done within sangat, Sikhi is a complex way of life which everybody needs to learn about in order to better themselves; by doing this you'd have to learn and gain gian from Sri Guru Granth Sahib Maharaj ji's message. I can't see any other way which somebody can be able to better themselves.

Je Galti Hoi fir Bhul Chuk Maaf karna, no offence is intended to any of my brothers or sisters on this post, but I believe I hold a logical argument and nobody has really attempted to hold a response in a logical manner

There was a point of discussing this hear, but I believe this discussion should be put into action now. going on any further with this discussin is a waste of time. You should confront the committee about your concerns and give them the reasoning you provided here. Then get back to this site about what they have said and then discuss some more.

If your not willing to confront this committee then there are Singh already asking you which Gurdwara this is and they will go ask them and see for themselves what is going on.

It's on you to make the next move now confusingh.

I hope it's the right one.

bro i jus wanted to ask

how would you respect dhan pita sri guru granth sahib jii

would u jus read and learn from pita jiii

There is a reason Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji gave us a hukam 'Guru Maneyo Granth'...

This is in the sense that you learn from the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, obviously Guru Maharaj ji is not in human form, Gurus were teachers to the Sikh (student) disciples and the message of Sikhi was to be spread and the Gurus were able to communicate with sangat directly, and Guru Ji stopped the passing on of GurGadhi to human form, therefore its more than obvious it was meant for us to look to Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji as a teacher, and the only difference being is that you read and learn from the messages left behind from previous true bhagats, pirs as well as Gurus...There is also a great distinction between idolising Guru Sahib, when one performs rituals and does not learn and read Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj this is then losing credibility of our Guru Ji, if Maharaj Ji's words are supposed to be simply chanted and not understood, then does that mean there is no need for the message of Bani not to be implemented in a GurSikh lifestyle, it is this message we need to learn in order to better ourselves.

how i would respect dhan pita sri guru granth sahib jii would be to learn the message Guru Ji is giving me and attempt to implement this in to my life, if I were to not learn from Bani and prioritise naam japna as the sole value of my Sikhi, isn't this disobedience?.. and is it not wrong to disobey your own pita jiii, even Guru Maharaj Ji states this, you see learning these values is imperative to the understanding of our Sikh theology. I hope I've answered your question 'bro' ... I am going to take my points further with the managing commitee of the local Guru Ghar.

Can you please tell the Sangat which gurdvara this is, they must be doing some hard core beadbii by what your writing - i mean, the sangat has the right to sort things out, please let us know - i mean . . . doing nitnem, doing abhiyaas, giving santhia and putting ramalas over maharaj is the biggest beadbi ever - ITS SEEMS - And reciting Gurbani - ref to the jaap is just BRahmanism - i mean, why do we do nitnem, we should do it once a year and learn from it, then after a year when we forget the teachings read it again innit.

a lot of sarcasm - admin close the thread, its a headache reading all the nonsence, just dont understand whats being said.

Sikhi is a value system (NOT A FUTILE RITUALISTIC PANTH). If someone attempts to read the Gurbani with the true respect (GURU MANYO GRANTH), they will undestand that the 'Living Treasure - SGGSji' blesses us with a value system (as a True Guru) and by reading, contemplating, learning a way of life we start applying the values to our life and that is 'Sikhi' and that is truly 'Manana'. Once we start respecting the Gurbani as a true Guru (not ritualistic Mantar chantig), 'GU - darkness of ignorance' and 'RU - remove' we will start knowing what did Baba Nanak ji mean by 'manye mag na chale panth' - a true follower of Sikh values does not follow any ritualistic ways of whatever group because he/she has understood the real meaning of 'Amrit Bani'.

He/she certainly does not express the kind of agressive, irrational behaviour (a sign of slavery to 5 sins) evident in some of the posts/replies. If that is not clear read 'Assa dee Vaar' (470-472) or Baba Nanak ji's Parbhati bani (1353). If you still do not understand what a true Sikh should be about then take heed from Bhagat Kabir Ji's wonderful words 'Kahe kee kuslaat, haath deep kooeye parye'.

It is really disappointing sometimes to see many of our future Singhs and Singhanyian showing no evidence of real Sikh values. There behaviour seems to be full of ego, while 'Sikhaan daa man neevan, mat uchchie' is repeated and heard so many times. They seem to be arguing as Babaji says 'bin boojhey jhagrat jag kachaa'. Please note we are always promoting Sikhi and the teachings of our Guru SGGSji by the way of how we behave. To do that properly we need to 'Man sach kasvatee layeye, tuleeye poorey toal' - we need to test ourselves on the touchstone of truth to be true beacons of the wonderful 'Gurbani'. I can quote a lot of shabads which teach us that deeds (based on the teachings of SGGSji) are what make us Sikhs not ritauls. There are direct quotes about chanting 'mantras'.

Please forgive das's 2 penny's worth.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
