Sikh perspective on Eid and slaughtering of countless animals.

You have killing an animal on one side, and feeding the meat to hungry people on the other. I can see the equation.

The equation is there (rather tenuously I might add), but I should've rephrased it as "I don't like the ethics involved in that equation". You knew what I meant, you're just pulling my leg, lol.

One is voluntarily giving up his life by his own hand. The other is US exerting our control over another life-form and ending their life (the animal) for them --- and then eating him / her.

Honestly Bhaji i wasnt pulling your leg. Now you have used the word "ethics" that changes everything, because it is as my main man Ali G said to some guy when talking about animal welfare, " what if someone said to you, eat this chicken, or else i'll kill another chicken..." people have different ethics. I wont say that anyones are right or wrong concerning veg/non-veg issue.

But i guess the difference is that i see the Atma in everything, not just animals, but vegetables as well, and i am a keen amatuer gardener, and i know that everytime i do some harvesting, i am killing, or ending the life-form of that atma at that point in time, and then eating it.

I guess you're just more humane than me?

It's just a personal choice I guess.

I was probably livestock in various previous lives and saw some family members of mine killed for meat purposes. That residual memory has stayed with me over the course of many janams, hence my aversion to the consumption of meat. :biggrin2: Not sure I'm joking...

I think Sherdil was making a joke...

With that kind of English, i think i feel sorry for you instead of our Muslim brothers.

    • 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.
