alot of native russians have become hare krishnas and are a part of the ISKON movement...im curious to see how this will go down...regardless of the recent bad history with hindus...i stand by them in this...no scripture should ever be banned..it should be analysed and its word should be discussed..not banned!!...also ive heard in recent years the neo nazis in russia have been gaining very large support and will eventually make it into mainstream russian politics...the sangat should realise they can just as easily ban sri dasam granth sahib ji...as in there eyes it can be classified as extreme with its main theme on war and battle...

I've been following this up on the Indian media channels today and it seems to have hot the nerve of the Hindu ministers in parliament. I've also heard Manmogam Singh is being urged to intervene but I am also aware of the problems Sikhs have been facing in France regarding the Dastar and I also remember that this issue just went over the heads of the mainstream Hindu Parties in India.

No support from me as my brothers and sisters have suffered and no one listened to them in their hour of need.

I know these are harsh words but I'm done with political correctness!

Whilst I agree that no scriptures should be banned the fact of the matter is that the translation has been done by an organisation called ISKCON - International Society for Krishna Consciousness. Earlier this year the Gurdwara in my home town received a letter from these people. They were going to be holding their equivalent of a nagar kirtan (Rath Yatra) and had asked to use the Gurdwara to prepare langar. They basically wanted the Gurdwara to donate to their cause. In the letter they indirectly insulted us by suggesting that our women could dance and do bhangra in front of the Rath for Lord Jagannath. They also sent literature which has been written by their leader and actually appears on Sikhiwiki suggesting that Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji was so overwhelmed with love for Lord Jagannath that he recited the Aarti. The article has other distortions to it.

SO IN THIS CASE THE BANNING OF LITERATURE BY THIS ORGANISATION IS NOT A BAD THING! They distort the truth.

    • 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.
