I'm sure talikhaak has a reason for bumping this article.....

I ended up reading all of it cos everyone seemed really pleased with it. Now this will probably sound rude but I did not like this article as I found it very whishy washy.

Also I barely noticed the women point and even now have no idea what that means. All in all I was disappointed as I was expecting something more.

Veerji I wrote a reply and when I pressed post the website logged me out. Incidently I lost that reply so I am gonna keep this short. Also I am very stressed at the moment so I am sorry if this sounds rude.

The article for me merely a piece of flowerly language. I was expecting something different.

Let me illustrate what I mean by this. PINK=FLOWERY

Every beautiful flake of snow, has a structure different to the next. Infinity plays its tune in everything, that is the hand of the infinite that created and creates all, ceaselessly. We confine this endlessness into a narrow alley way, that only the elite can squeeze into.

We cannot see the flood, the torrent that cleanses the dirt away. All we see is the stagnant pool of our thoughts, ever producing an odour that only the cannibals, ghosts and ghouls enjoy bathing in.

Now lets read the whole post taking out flowery things like snowflakes or metaphors of cannibals...if u remove this throughout the ENTIRE article u have nothing left...its all flowery and any comments are subjective...

I feel this article is highly subjective and it is nothing more than a diplomatic rant.

Just to point out I don't mind flowery stuff or diplomacy unless its actually got some factual basis. For me this piece is so subjective that I feel I could take the same examples and put another perspective on them. Basically I expected something amazing but I felt it wasn't. Other people may disagree.. but my own take was that there was very little for me to learn once I took the flowery out.

It basically does not have an eternal quality which means I cannot repeat the same article 3000 or 4000 years later. In that sense its not exactly a teaching piece..also for me already bits don't make sense. I'm sorry but that was my take on it. Feel free to disagree but I'm just saying it was too flowery, so wishy washy and subjective that I did not think it was great.

This article has a strange colour combination

I personally believe that the amount of truth in a piece of writing is judged by how much it hurts. The more it hurts the more truth it is.

i don't know who kamalroop singh is but i agree with sitagirl, the flowery text reduces the impact of the article.

if you want to have a look at a proper written piece about the truth. Have a look at the zafarnama written by guru gobind singh ji.

A masterpiece written with skills above common knowledge, to strike one of the greatest emperors at the time; in a place where it really hurts.

Guru ji totally destroyed Aurangzeb mind and instantly brang fear to him.....

anyways

this article has inspired me to attempt to write something too, so i can face the critical responses of the knowledgeble sangat

i will get word to check my spellings, worry not :upid:

    • 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.
