Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

don't see anything wrong with my sisters wanting to tie rakhi on me...its just like kinda respecting their religion...its their way of life and we shouldn't hurt peoples feelings......so if someone brings u a rakhi..u shouldn't be like yo i don't tie that etc.....just my two cents

bhul chuk maaf

either i missed it or the question hasn't been answered yet......

i want to know the same thing cuz I saw a picture hanging in someone's home of Guru Nanak Dev ji having a rakhri tied on his arm by his sister. If he didn't accept the junaeu why would he accept a rakhri? our raakhi is God, not our brother, that's part of what a kara is for to remind us that. (nice response to this by someone above, sorry forgot name. )

so really, whats up with that?

thanx ^_^

Basically pics show anything the artist wants to show iinit

they're all paintings

As for Rakhri - yeah im against it - no thread should be put on the arm

B-U-T a Brotherhood hug can be given to akknowledge your relationship - but isnt't tha more liek 'moh' :T:

so im not really sure

but the thread thing is out of limit :T:

bhull chukk maaf

Rakhria are supposed symbolize something like brothers protecting their sisters....but do you really need a piece of string to do that..i mean if your sister is standing there being hurt or something....do you need to look at that string on your arm and be reminded to help her out?...no....and yeah...women are independant also...and "raakhi" is more on the hindu side of things isnt it?....not sikhi at all....but these days people are celebrating other things that aren't sikhi-related...Christmas for example :T: ..thats just my opinion on this topic!

forgive me for my mistakes...

Great Views Khalsa Singh! :wub:

Think about it. Guru Nanak Dev ji wouldn't hurt anyone's feelings, ESPECIALLY if someone is doing it out of love, he would rather say, "If it makes you happy go a head" but he will also ask you why you're doing it, and the purpose behind it. Main thing is not to hurt anyone's feelings because this is where haumai comes in and it makes you think you're above all this worldly/ritualistic stuff.

If it makes someone happy and doesn't hurt someone's feelings, also doesn't give a bad impression to everyone then go ahead.

My two cents. ^_^

dont mean 2 be nasty just in a rush but with regards to homai, maybe its better for me if u didnt complement me ((< :-)

besides i was pretty rude in my replies anyway, mainly because it was getting to the point of banging heads against the wall in order to crack the pindu mentality

any pictures of the gurus should be ignored because as sikhs we should not have any faith in pictures. bani is Guru, when people bowed before Guru nanak dev ji it was to the divine JOT they were bowing to not his physical form.

anyways just look at the pics out there, they show Guru nanak DEv Ji as a jolly large man, for God's sake Guru Ji walked all the way to Baghdad! And Guru Gobind Singh Ji is depicted as some gOrra from england with super fair skin, he was born in Bihar! The beauty of our Gurus cannot be captured by any painting, the beauty lies in Bani.

The pic of Guru nanak Dev Ji getting a rakhri tied is useless as an example, the RSS has made pics of the gURUs with Shiva and Krishna even one with a cow being milked and the Gurus arre shown coming out as milk. Just dumb stuff.

big NO, its just a matter of love towards ur brother, i do agree there are many other ways too if there are many other ways many ich aa bhe aa gaya ta ki hunda, today many hindus muslim they clebrate lohri, veshaki they never said this is sikhi twhar, they come with love and take blessing of our gurujee, we should not behave like taliban style, be neutral , guru kirpa naal be in ur reaht plus dont break anyonce heart bhul chuk kheema sangato.

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
