WaheguruJiKaKhalsa!!WaheguruJiKiFateh!!

Hi All,

Just a quick question. A friend of a friend has turned into a 'Nihang' and I was told that he had to sacrifice a chicken as part of the initiation ceremony.

Is this normal???

Yes Bhenji , its normal initiation ceremony

Normal is what humans do to fit in, its mind conditioning.

One needs to ask themselves is killing an innocent life justifiable.

its just you thinking this way. please read the following book.

Taksal including nananksar/rara sahib/harkhowale is root primarily vaishanav/advait (nirmale) order which is primarily meant to promote bhagti, vidya/gyan.

Nihang is in root shakti order which is primarily meant to promote shakti -bhaugti with perception of life and death part of same coin, they invoke kaal- mahakaal relationship per sri dasam guru granth and everything is part of three gunas. They do jhatka to invoke shakti, and perception of whole creation being made out of gunas and khalsa meant to be above/de-attached from gunas.
So its understandable difference in maryada as Sikhi includes all - bhakti (vaishav), yogis-shabad surat, shakti (shakti-shakta), gyan (advait vedant) aspects all orginated from vahiguroo, maharaj has included all into one and only Khalsa.
There is diversity regarding jhatka as there is diversity of traditions (shakta-shakti,bhagti,gyan, shabad surat) within sikhism. It's never meant to be black and white way it was presented by singh sabha because multiple traditions/various school of thoughts -bhagti/shakti/gyan/shabad surat are all blended in khalsa beautifully and splendidly.
We are neither pacifistic satoguni sadhu(ahimsa type bhagat) nor we are tamoguni rakshash (sipahi). Maharaj has blended sant and sipahi balanced aspect spirit into image of his own- khalsa.

if you look into your daily life you are enough barbaric as we all are. whether eating meat or not

Life is about conscious creation of an experience of divine. I do agree we don't need to have a Jain type of living but, this type of chicken, goat killing business leads to extreme inhumane type of animal slaughter business. If Nihangs want to sharpen or keep their martial skills may be they need to do what US armed forces do for training their soldiers, take up virtual reality war or special mission video games.

I am afraid its not meant to be that simple. Nihang jhatka tradition has deeper aspects/meaning both internally and externally..outer (shastar pooja/shastar practicse, shastar bali) invoked by inner bir ras after recitation of sri dasam granth (chandi divar), sri sarbloh granth all pointing towards invoking aad shakti of kaal-mahakaaal vahiguroo.

With that being said, there is no hard or fast rule behind tradition nor its meant to taken as that- to define sant -sipahi but its a tradition/kriya which needs to kept alive just like there are some kriyas in yoga which invokes kinetic energy (chi energy-shiv shakti kundalini-yin yang) inside the body purpose to heal others physically, similarly jhakta tradition is kriya to invoke shakti of akaal purkh by reciting chandi divar with full concentration and physical bali is given as bhet (cocunut as alternative can be used ) to akaal purkh to invoke its shakti with purpose to dharam yudh or perserve martial spirit.

How is that different from Kosher or Halal, They are also doing it in the name of GOD.

    • what’s a rajput jatt sikh  you’re either jatt or you’re not jatt
    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect.
