BLUE IS THE SIKH COLOUR; NOT SAFFRON


BLUE IS THE SIKH COLOUR; NOT SAFFRON
Nishan+sahib++2.jpg


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).

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)

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?

    • 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.
