Coconut Jhatka


Recommended Posts

Sorry brother, I am not too knowledgeable as to why this form of jhatka is performed. Perhaps it is done as opposed to doing jhatka of goats?

Just wanted to post a photo I found of naryal jhatka:

at some places goats are not available or there is some rukavat like lack in finance etc there are many gareeb sikhs as well who keep the akhand path of sri dasams bani and jhatka is always done at the bhog of dasam di bani da akhand path ... its a subsitute mostly followed outside india or by greeb nihang singhs in punjab its not at all opposite to bakra jhatka... and some one called it hindu ritual ... which hindu puran talks about it or which hindu community does coconut jhatka ??? come up with any source ... people should think for 5 minutes before typing or they should always have some source to backup ... even hindu rajputs dont do coconut jhatka ... yet its a hindu ritual strange ...

It is Bipran Ki Reet Sikhism does not believe in sacrifices and offerings to God or any such things like that .Sri Akal Thakt Sahib our supreme authority bans

Via Sikh Rehat Maryada:

''Placing a pitcher, ceremonial clarified-butted-fed lamp, coconut, etc. around , during the course of the uninterrupted or any other reading of Guru Granth Sahib, or reading of other Scriptural texts side by side with or in the course of such reading is contrary to the gurmat (Guru’s way). ''

So if a coconut cannot be placed how can it be 'chatka'd' ,whats with this useless ritual did Guru Nanak Dev Ji reject such rituals of offerings and call them useless,does this not come under Koor Kireyah.

If those amongst you still want to Ignore what Akal Thakt Sahib says - do so up to ,you can stick to your

'nihang maryadas',but please don't do the pakhand of chatka-ing coconuts do what these 'nihangs' really do which is behead innocent goats then drink their blood amongst other foolish and anti gurmat rituals .

Choose 'Nangism' yes I call it nangism as it is totally the opposite to Sikhism with all these weird offerings to the 'gods' devis and what not,plus they ignore Akal Thakt.

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
