Why Is Rakhi/rakhri Against Sikhi?

[TurbanGuys]

Tomarrow hindustani slave mentality sikhs will be celebrating rakhi to show they are not free.

Lets see which so called Sikh will become victim to hindu assimilation.

LOL

[TurbanGuys]

its not about we are not free..its about Hindusim is the oldest religion in south asia...NOT only sikhs but somehow buddhists jaini..muslims do the same <banned word filter activated> as sikhs do...The main reason is We all have come out from hindus..So what? our bodies have still hindu blood...its like cancer in our body..Brahmins were so smart and intelligent ..They framed the all indian society as their slaves and pithuu...JEDHI CHEEZ KHOON WICH HOVE OHDA KOI ILLAAZZ NAI......

Just go on any FB sikh page which has posted Sant Dhandrianwales reply to sikhs who tie rakhris and many so called sikhs are throwing so much vitriol his way.

People also tie rakri to palki sahib. There was a long queue at the sweets shop today and majority were turbaned and few Amritdhari singhs that I saw. What's going on? Some say no some say its fine. Is there a ref in SGGS?

We need to make rakhi into an insult so that when rakhi is tied on a Sikh it reminds them of slavery in hindustan rather than any rakhi of their sisters.

It is said that once a Brahmin approached a Nihung and asked him whether he had a sister. The Nihung unsheathed his sword and told him that with a sister like his nothing could touch him.

As predicted many Sikhs displayed their slave mentality yesterday and indulged in the hindu festival of rakhi. How many hindus take part in our Sikh festivals? Do Sikhs also take part in muslim festivals like Eid? Do christians in punjab celebrate vaisakhi with us? No they keep themselves to themselves in their communities and their grooming vulnerable poor Sikhs to their faiths undercover.

We as a kaum need to start to question ourselves what are we doing, are we following other faiths and their festivals more than our own? If so we need to change that. How many gifts we give on christmas, diwali and rakhi? loads! How many we give to each other on vaisakhi? Gurpurbs? Important shaheedi days? We hardly give any gifts or make sense of what our religious dates mean to our people or young folk.

The change starts with each individual Sikh.... instead of following what your family is following....ask yourself is this relevant to Sikhi? If not discard it and do something pro-sikh and ensure any gifts given to people are on Sikh religious dates only.

Look at it this way, do Sikh festivals exclude anyone? No, then ask do other faith's celebrations or ethos exclude anyone?

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Many Hindus admire Sikh faith, visit Gurudwara & take part in Sikh festivals.

Sikhi is a great opportunity for hindoo's to reform for the better.

If a person from any background adopts Sikhi, we welcome them with open arms.

Research what Sikhs follow and value, some key principles;

belief in one universal God,

earning an honest living,

equality,

charity.
