Why is there always a picture of a lion beneath baba ji ? I remember reading about it a long time ago but I can't remember.

A Singh once told me that this is an old tradition of Sadhu Sants. For thousands of years, when sadhu sants or rishis would live in the forest or Kutia and meditate their entire time, they would sit comfortably on the skin of a tiger or cheeta.

Thank you but do you's know were can i buy one of this online a website that you trust??

I'm not sure where one can buy this from. But It's not hard to make on your own. It is a simple T shaped wooden frame about as tall as your shoulders if you are in the sitting position.

The skin of a top predator was used by Sadhus to keep away dangerous animals during long periods of samadhi in the wild.

Today, unless you are going to do samadhi in the Kruger National Park or somewhere similar, there is no need for the animal skin, especially as many of these animals are extremely rare now and we have decimated most of wild regions. Sadhus today (Sikh ones at least) don't visit and stay in wild areas to meditate anymore, nor do pilgrimage to our sacred Gurdwara (Sri Hazur Sahib etc) on foot..... lifestyles have changed a somewhat.

      Unpopular opinion - "Jatt" is not a caste

      By VSinghz7 · Posted

      There are only 4 castes in India and Jatt isn't one of them. "Jatt" is a sub-community within a caste, not a caste itself. And we (I'm jatt so don't call me offensive lol) aren't even that high, we only rank 3rd out of the 4 castes but have become very respected due to our presence in Punjabi media and the amount of land we own as a community. How is being proud of being Jatt "wrong" in Sikhi - we're not proud of our "caste" (we can't be cos it's not even a high one lol). If anything, Jatts have helped beat the Indian caste system. We literally rose from its bottom to people admiring our lifestyle. So "Jatt" shouldn't be a taboo topic in Sikhi until it becomes one (eg: making "Jatt Gurdware" like Tarkhans did)

      Sikhi matrimonial site recommendations

      Try your local Gurdwara, I don't know about you but one of my local ones actually has a board for it. And for some reasons a lot of Granthis out here double up as like the Pind matchmaker. I recommend you go for it but it IS sorta funny to those not looking at getting involved, it's like Name: Jaspreet Kaur  Family Background: Jatt Sikh (Amritdhari) Job: Finance manager  or  Name: Gurpreet Singh Family Background: Ramgarhia Sikh Job: Teacher

      Knowing What Caste U Are By Ur Dastar...

      By VSinghz7 · Posted

      Anyone linking the "kenyan" style turban to Ramgarhia caste is stupid lol. It came from the Jat-only Sikh Regiment in British India (folded, starched single dastar without a pinch). It's called "kenyan style" as Kenya is where it's most popular today and has a lot of Tarkhan living there but it's originally from Jatts in India. Dastar actually opposes caste as a concept anyway so it really doesn't matter.

      Do you iron your kenyan turban ?

      By VSinghz7 · Posted

      Is there a need to insult someone's Dastar style? Feel some shame When you see a Sikh wearing a Dastar you should smile and think "that's my brother" ,not laugh at how he chose to tie his Pagh. Maharaj made a brotherhood in the Khalsa not a fashion contest.
