Meat Eating Allowedhi Just A Question I Can’T Find Answer. Any Limitations To Eat Meat? Punjab Dishes Are Often Based On Fish, Chicken And Lamb Meat


Recommended Posts

Hi

Just a question I can't find answer.

Any limitations to eat meat???

Punjab dishes are often based on fish, chicken and lamb meat.

But I understand, for people living near ocean fishing its natural,

And for farmer, they grow poultry,

And still I understand, shepherd grow lambs

But today growing and killing of animals its obscene,

For supermarkets and nonsense

Burger fast food..

I don't think killing and heating of cow

It's allowed by yours,

I'm be pure vegetarian 8 years,

But after marriage and son,

Sometime I've eating meat

And I'm afraid I'm sinful.

Did you now own growing and killing

Of animals like poultry, cows pigs and horses go on in western country???

Best regards.

hello :)

Most Sikhs are pure vegeterian and it is recommended by great saints

killing of an animal just to please your taste is wrong

according to the Akal Thakat Rehit Marayada (code of conduct for Sikhs)- eating any meat killed in the name of God is completely wrong

If we look at the highest authority of Sikhs (the Guru Granth Sahib Ji) we are told

Kabīr kẖūb kẖānā kẖīcẖrī jā mėh amriṯ lon. Herā rotī kārne galā katāvai ka▫un. ||188||

Kabeer, the dinner of beans and rice is excellent, if it is flavored with salt. Who would cut his throat, to have meat with his bread? ||188||

and

If you believe God is in all than why do you kill chickens

and

Ḏunīʼn▫ā murḏār kẖurḏanī gāfal havā▫e. Rahā▫o.

The world eats dead carcasses, living by neglect and greed. ||Pause||

Gaibān haivān harām kusṯanī murḏār bakẖorā▫e.

Like a goblin, or a beast, they kill and eat the forbidden carcasses of meat.

so basically the majority of Sikhs agree that eating meat is wrong because we shudnt take life just to please our tastebuds

some (who have trouble giving up KFC ) try to justify it otherwise

eitherway all Sikhs agree it is a grave sin to kill and torture an animal (halal, animal sacrifice) in the name of God

You may find it beneficial to read a book by Joginder Singh Talwara "Tau Murgi Kyo Maray".......(Why kill a chicken) based on the Pankti from SGGS Ji Maharajh.

There is a ebook version uploaded on:-

http://www.scribd.com/mokhamsingh

There is also the biography of Bhagat Sadna Ji who were born into a family of butchers. This 7 page ebook is very interesting.

I wouldnt recmmend that book, ive read it and it is poor, with many instances of misquoted gurbani.

Thanks to all

but I’m Italian and i only speak Italian, English and French

these e-books are in Sanskrit???

And the biography of Bhagat Sadna Ji

will not help my to understand Sikhism.

my question was :

can a good Sikh eat meat and fish and eggs???

Sometime?

if tolerated,

some animals food are forbidden???

Best regards

if you want protein eat legumes. soak them in warm water and leave 24 hours. then drain the water, rinse with warm water, and cover them with a towel soaked in warm water for 24 hours. when it's hot you may need to change the water more often.

the legumes will sprout, which makes the nutrients more bioavailable and reduces acidity (meat is very acid). every time you make sabjee use something different. you'll get all your protein plus many other nutrients from this.

    • 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.

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?
