Blue Is The Sikh Colour; Not Saffron

BLUE IS THE SIKH COLOUR; NOT SAFFRON

BLUE IS THE SIKH COLOUR; NOT SAFFRON

Today some one posted a magnificent poem on turban. But alas! the poet was not aware that ‘saffron’ is not a Sikh colour. Blue and yellow have been Sikh colours but the 10th Lord approved blue colour for Sikh worrier’s uniform and flag. Brahmin scriptures consider blue as the colour of Shudra the depressed ones. Similarly ‘iron ‘ has been considered the metal of shudra. Thus Guru wishes that his Sikhs identify themselves with the low i.e humility. Friends will be surprised to read that in 1932 the Akal Dal passed a resolution opposing kesri the saffron colour. (see 50 year history of SGPC) See the irony: the Akali Dal has changed the colour of Sikh standards in Gurdwaras to saffron to please their Brahmin master. This was done by Govt in connivance of Jathedar Tohra. Even according to code conduct (Rehatmaryada) of SGPC the Nishan sahib has to be either dark blue or yellow. Saffron is the colour of Hindu hermits who believe in renunciation though originally it is Buddhist colour. The Hindu historians are yet to accept saffron and rue at the decision of ignorant Hindu politicians. Brahmins favourite colour is white. So please keep in mind for future the Sikh colour is ‘Blue’ (yes Neele wala) and basanti the yellow (saron the mustard flower).

Should all Gurudwara change Nishan Sahib colour in light of this?

[garch]

Sare rab de rang..

Did 'the one' divide people and then give them their own rangs? Or did people do this?

If the colours of the nishaan sahib have been defined that is fine. . But to say one rang represents any kaum or doesn't represent a kaum or the colour of dastar is right or wrong isnt right..

s' all pettiness (with the exception of the nishaan sahib comment)

Allot of Hindus wear Saffron, but Blue is Unique to Sikhs

It'll be white before you know it.

All colors are fine except red and green.

Such things are not important. The people doing research on colours should instead use their energy in inspiring Sikhs to live in Sikhi way of life. Even if tomorrow all the Gurdwara Sahibs decide to change the Nishan Sahib to blue colour, but what good will such a move be if nearly 90% of our Panth is now Patit? Bhai, instead if this colour issue, use your latent and research on how to do Sikhi Parchar to over 90% of the Panth that is not living the Sikhi way of life. That is more important than any frivolous issue out there.

Damdami Taksal Rehitnama says kesri, chitta, neela and kaala are the 4 colours of the khalsa..... And we should refrain from adorning soohi laal and goora harra rang. The rehitnama was agreed by Baba Thakur Singh, Sant Jarnail Singh Ji and the previous jathedars.

The maryada continues from Shaheed Baba Deep Singh Ji and Shaheed Baba Mani Singh Ji. Directly from Guru Gobind Singh Ji.

You need to get up from underneath this brahmin bogeyman they are only 3 percent of indias population.

You might find interesting a very famous tale. 1000 or so years ago the Rajputs were brought into hinduism by the brahmins and given the kesri dress and colour (kesariya bana in rajasthani) Shastars (Khanda) and a special surname: Singh!

Are you going to get rid of Singh as well because the brahmins came up with it?
