Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji KI Fateh Hai Ji

Bhang Aka Cannabis is used by Nihang SInghs as it is the Puratan (old) Maryada. Nihang Singhs arn't the only users, Takht Sachkhand Sri Hazoor Sahib Hazuri Sevadaar make Shaheedi Degh for the sangat 3 times a day everyday, as it is what occured at the times of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Shahanshah. Yes, only 5 Cannabis leafs are used, and there are no effects of the 'high' as scientists have prooved that Cannabis drank does not make the user 'High'. As Baba Nihal SIngh said above (Youtube link) that you can give the Degha (Shaheedi Degh) to a child, pregnant Bibi, elder etc.
Bhang is also used by the Great Khalsa Fauj to keep their mind tuned in with the One, and to be a Warrior. It isn't mandatory but is made to uphold Pracheen (old) Nihang Singh/Singhni traditions.
According to the Puratan Budha Dal Maryada of the Akhand Path of Adi - Dasam Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji on the Bhog day (last day of the Sri Akhand Path) The Jhatka (quick kill, chop etc) of Coconuts, Of a Bakra (goat) and the preperation of Sukhnidan (Treasure of Peace) is made as it all infuses Bir Ras.
Shaheedi Degh also isn't just Bhang, it is a sort of Ayurvedic, as the ingreedients consist of almonds, cardamon pods (Lecheeya), black pepper, sugar etc.

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Vaheguru Ji Ke Fateh!

My only question regarding shaahedi degh is was it not meant to be consumed on during the time of war? I agree with the use as a natural pain killer but it was only used during war so why is it produces as if we are war at the moment.

Also another question is when was it assign to be used as a parshaad?

Forgive with any mistakes I have made I hope guru and sangat can forgive my mistakes.

I too agree @singhdhillion Ji it is becoming an addiction. Of course there are some nihangs or gursikhs who know the real use and when to use it. Just as some know when it was "appropriate" to eat meat.

Forgive with any mistakes I have made I hope guru and sangat can forgive my mistakes.

    • 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.
    • Good way of putting it, bro. One of the ongoing themes of Gurbani is the fake saint. Whether it's fake babas in Punjab or English-speaking personalities in the West, it's an continuing problem of religion through the centuries (and it's not exclusive to us by any means, this applies to all human societies).
    • First of all, while it's true that Gurbani says slandering a Saint has such-and-such effects, you can't do the reverse: You can't look and your situation and know for certain what caused it. We're not encouraged to mope over our situations but rather to accept the hukam (will). The last line of the very first pauri of Japji Sahib says to live in hukam: ਹੁਕਮਿ ਰਜਾਈ ਚਲਣਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਨਾਲਿ ॥੧॥ hukam rajāī chalanā nānak likhiā nāl .1. O Nanak! By obeying, the pre-ordained order of the Lord's will. Secondly, the astpadhi from which you quoted the Sant ka dokhi verses has this verse at the end: ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕਰੈ ਤਿਸੁ ਆਪਨ ਨਾਮੁ ਦੇਇ ॥ jis nō kripā karai tis āpan nām dēi . God gives His Name to those unto whom He shows His mercy. So ask for his mercy. Also check out the 7th Astpadi, which talks about the good effects of the sangat of a Sadhu: https://khojgurbani.com/shabad/271/709?highlighted_scripture_id=12007&highlighted_scripture_lang=gurmukhi&selected_content=gurbani I'm not getting into who is a "true" Sadhu in this post.
    • In langar it should be common sense for peopel to find a suitable space to sit. Normally in my local Singh Sabha gurdwara, there is enough space to sit, so I am able to find a space with enough space away from other people. There have been a few times, where there has been a lot of sangat and I have been forced onto a table.  In Slough and Southall Singh Sabha, Park Avenue, I will just sit near another group of men unless I am with family, but again there shouldn't be strict gender separation and instead common sense logic.
    • Yeh I could do to be honest. It's not really chardikala to be coming from the diwan hall and then sangat putting on shoes to go langar. I like sitting in the gurdwara with family, and there are spaces for this in bigger gurdwaras such as Slough, Southall, Coventry. In my current local area gurdwaras this is not really possible for weekly sangat, and also not for sangrand and gurpurb. Need to complain about these tendikalaUK practices  to be UK chardikala Singhs!
