Rakhriya


Recommended Posts

Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj REJECTS any rituals / thread cr*p.

And then why the hell do we "sikhs" accutally i'll call them panjabis, why do they do rakhriya?

They believe the brother protects the sisters, Guru Granth Sahib Ji tells us that male and female are equals, then why can't the sister protect the brother? mostly, what the hell?

I need evidence to stop this ritual which many panjabis do!

this is the truth

can anyone provide me with quotes that Guru Granth Sahib Ji has said?

and please state which Ang reveals this...

and lastly, nanak-rakhri.jpg

did the RSS created this image, to weaken Sikhi (which Sikhi will never be weak). ^^^^

Lol outside dresses a ritual too.

God doesn't have a form, we know that, but we still try to turn him into a form

there is no doubt rakhri is a ritual but so are these special colours that we wear, even this chola i would suggest, all these are rituals

Its all about the heart, how pure the heart is, how pure the mind is, not just ouside display because that is for fools as guru nanak dev ji says however its still continuing till the day of today, people have chosen outside displays but they have forgotten to die the death of ego and realise god before physical death.

In sukhmani sahib it clearly says "out of all the places, the supreme place is the heart where God resides" but we still continue to wander here and there, when we come accross that heart, we dont believe in them but slander them!

we still haven't found the gurudwara, the door of God thats within us, we read bani all the time, but we still have not realised God in all the physical senses.

I may be wrong here and I do apologise, but to me Rakhri day is just a day for brothers and sisters. Just like you have Mothers Day or Fathers Day this is more or less Sisters Day. It is nice to see sisters/brothers acknowledging their love for each other and the sisters of course getting a bit of money out of them, it is more a cultural thing then anything else. It may have had other connotations in the past but now it seems a celebration of the rista of brother sister then anything else, to me it has evolved.

More importantly the question is, how strong is your Sikhi?

Can it stand the onslaught of a piece of decorated string on your wrist?

Can your Sikhi withstand the string on your wrist?

I feel I am strong enough in my convictions to withstand this, and if that means my sister ties a string on my wrist that I take off a few moments later so that I can give her a hug and piyare of £10 then I feel it has not shaken by rehat maryadha to the core. If you feel this makes women subservient to men then try telling that to my sister and she would probably give you a fist sandwich in the mush!

While you are at it you might as well ban Mothers Day and Fathers Day and your own birthdays, many may agree with this but AkaalPurkh gave us these relationships and there is nothing wrong in celebrating them, to an extent. There is nothing wrong with a birthday celebration, as long as it does not involve partying and booze, if we celebrate these relationships with AkaalPurkh in mind, that He has granted us a daughter whose birthday we are celebrating or another year of my life has passed with Gurus grace, or I celebrate my brother / sister relationship then there is nothing wrong here.

I suppose what Sikhs object to Rakhri is the physical string around the wrist, as it reminds us of the jannu that Sahib Ji rejected. This rejection was to teach us that wearing a string would not bring us any closer to God, that the shabad in the heart is the only way to AkaalPurkh. The Rakhri is a little different from this, in my humble opinion.

    • 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.
