Krishna In Sikhism


Recommended Posts

Interesting replies, I read everyone's and appreciate everyone's perspectives and do agree avtars have no place in Sikhi. However, Guru Sahib does mention them so a Sikh can learn from them. Guru Gobind SIngh Ji makes it clear as JSinghz veerji said that he never remembers ganesh, krishan or any avtar. A GurSikh khalsa who has taken khande batte da amrit and battles panj chor everyday and wakes up for nitnem is infinite times in the court of sachkhand because they consider themselves to be the lowest of the low and constantly fight to control and manage the panj vikaar.

It's interesting to note, there are historical references that show exactly which kinds of wine these avtars used to take. I remember reading in my prehistory class that krishna used to take a wine reserved for the aristocratic rulers called soma and used to indulge in various sexual ventures.

Alright i already clarified the concepts- Avtarvad and Sikhi in pg- 1 and page 2 in the post. People need to read 18 page long analysis with gurbani by tirath singh nirmala in english in the book-bhavrasamrit. Everyone questions will be answered.

Water and laicheeya are all you need. Control your tastebuds, Singhs. :biggrin2:

Leechian - eat just one, i dare you!

It's impossible.

Or do you mean laicheeyan, if so, I love laicheeyan as well. They're natural antibiotics haha.

Thought you meant the fruit.

I used to think that this shabad is directly devoted to Krishna and i felt really unsatisfied until i heard the 2nd version of katha of same shabad by Sant Gyani Gurbachan Singh ji.

This is what I love about Sant ji. Sant ji always do 2 or more arths of gurbani. 2nd version is katha of nirgun swaroop and even though u see words like krishan, his mother devki, his village bindraban in this shabad and you will wonder how can someone do katha of this shabad not not relate to Krishan at all. You will be surprised when you will listen to the katha below by Sant ji. It is just soooo amazing.

Sunny_love_kirtan veer,

Two arths (Sargun and Nirgun) naturally make sense. However, look at grand scheme of things- from bhramgyani stand point- gurmat is advait- non duality- ONE thats how they perceive it so sargun form of vahiguroo in form of krishan in this case, nirgun paratma are ONE no difference. Naturally, we jaigaso would prefer nirgun svaroop arths as we ourselves trying to get their birthi from sargun to nirgun. However, as i said earlier there will be stage in everyone's life as they grow spiritually where one does not feel "unsatisfied' anymore..sargun and nirgun are one!!!!! Only way to feel that and live in it is - bhramgyan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • 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.  
    • Author Posted April 24   On 4/21/2025 at 2:43 PM, ipledgeblue said: sirr should not be nanga because keski is usually worn.   Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . 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?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj.
