Why they have to tilk di shastar???

Do the Shastar really need blood of animal???

Animal blood satisfy Shastar I thought satguru guru Gobind Singh ji took sword to protect innocent people against zulam (gau gareeb de rakheya karni)? If the sword really need blood nihang Singh should kill modi or some other criminals instead of innocent animals

My friend's dad started doing Chandi Di Vaar along with his Nitnem. One day after doing the paath while he wad putting the sword back into its myaan his finger got a cut and blood oozed out.

After some months (maybe two) the sword started shaking while he used to do the paath. So, uncle ji did an ardass in front of Chandi that it would be difficult to tilak the Shastar with blood although he would use nariyal's (coconut) water.

So when the Shastar used to shake nariyl's jal was applied.

This does not really mean that nariyal's water can be a goid alternative to blood. Living in a city it was really difficult for him to do jhatka so he did ardass and was ful-filled.

Rest is on the Shardha u have.

VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH

If Shastar need blood, why not Chatka a bunch of Punjab Police or others responsible for killing thousands of Sikhs instead of goats? This concept I have never gotten.

Also, is this Maryada defined in any sort of Rehatnama or Bani (not random historical writing - history also quotes that Maharaja Ranjit Singh and many of his soldiers drank - that is not authority for Sikhs to drink). Practices needs to be somewhat defined by Rehatnamae and Rehatnamae need to pass the test of Gurbani.

again no one is forcing you to do so, but we do not question rehatname

VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH

Baba Ji, Maryada "Pehla To" Bahut Chalia Aa Rahi Aan, Kai Galt Vi Si. There was "Maryada" back in the day for having Moortian in Harmandir Sahib, there was "Maryada" back in the day to have Brahmins doing Sikh weddings too (Maryada here means practices that were ongoing without any Sikhi based support).

It is well documented in Suraj Parkash that the Sikhs would constantly question Guru Sahib on why things are what they are and Guru Sahib would answer the Sikhs. We are not a sheep community - our God given job is to ask.

If we are stuck doing things that have no meaning or application to Sikhi, then we are no better than the others in this world who continue to do things without meaning and Guru Sahib condemned and did parchar against in their lives and continue to do so in Gurbani.

If Taksal is Puratan as Nihung Singhs and have a direct opposition to Jhatka and similar processes, then someone has to ask the questions.

It especially does not help when you see Hindus doing the same Jhatka and Hindus in Nepal anointing their newly made weapons from a recently killed animal. You do realize that this makes us look very close to Hindus, which Sikhism is not?

Sant Hardev Singh gave an example of Sant Jwala Singh Harkhowal - when a Sikh questioned why a coconut was placed in the presence of Sahib Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, he responded that when the Gurgaddi was passed on, it was done so with a coconut and 5 paise, hence the coconut being present. There was reason given and after hearing that, I would fully advocate for any Sikh to place a coconut (and heck, add 5 paise) in the hazoori of Guru Sahib. It would not be an empty ritual.

However, killing an animal for its blood to anoint Shastars does not have such an explanation provided, especially given the context that thousands of goats are slaughtered in the name of Sikhi, when blood could also be exacted in justice from the killers of Sikhs who roam free and are not even on the radar (and some directly complicit with) of those who would perform Chatka. If Chatka was to practice a killing blow, what are you practicing it for all this time and not implementing?

I fully appreciate that if one was to eat meat and did Chatka with Maryada (Chandi Di Vaar and killing blow on the last lines), fine. But why the blood on weapons? What is the reason?

i found this is older archives , good explanation

the chandi in shastar always require blood. Just as Mahachandis unquenchable thirst for rakht

ok now. for all of you that dont know the history maryada about jhatka - im going to educate you.

IT IS NOT HINDU MARYADA.
in training for war whislt practising shastar vidiya, the higher you skill gets, the easer and quiker your killing gets. jhat means quick, and ka means to kill. jhatka - quick kill. now, it is easy to understand that you cannot practise jhatka in a training akhara, otherwise you'll end up killing your training partner. so the nihangs would practise jhatka on bakre. in our nihang maryada, it is believed that evry bakra that is killed through jhatka is reborn as a nihang warrior. this is providing the fact that the bakra is killed with 100% mentallity that it is being killed in seva of the panth. if when the head is severed, the body shakes - it was done wrong. so the singhs would have to practice on the bakra and give it mukti from this joon to become a nihang singh in its next joon.



And the tilak thing is that Shastar are only to be used to take blood. Otherwise they will take blood where and when they want to. Because Shastar are not just weapons, they are the form of Waheguru Ji. As written in Sri Sarbloh Granth Sahib Ji; ‘Mahakaal jagdees hai sarbloh avtar’. Mahakaal is the creator of the universe, and his form is of sarbloh – Shastar. So they put the blood on the Shastar out of respect and maryada as the Shastar are there to take blood.



As is the maryada that you don’t unsheathe your sri sahib for no reason. You only take it out when you have to take someones life. And when you do, you do it with jhatka – one strike kill. If you don’t take it out for that purpose, then the maryada is to slit your thumb slightly so that blood drops, wipe the blade then do your namaskar to the kirpan and put it back into the scabbard.

Read Episode 66 of PANTH PRAKASH by Shaheed Ratan Singh Bhangu, it might clear things up.

    • They are taking over from within. They knew in our Gurus time they couldn't win by force so now they're trying to come into countries acting all "working" and then they spread their faith from within. We were here long before them and the gorreh love us. They know we fought for them and that we are loyal, hardworking and truthful.  To them, anyone who doesn't "submit" (that's what muslim actually means) is an enemy. Just like Aurangzeb and Wazir Khan, all the way to when they would groom Apnian to convert them in London back in the 90s. They can make their prayers discreet but they CHOOSE not to. They want to "normalise" their faith. Once everyone's familiar with it then they will try to force it on people even more. Not many will convert to a completely foreign idea but one that everyone knows already may give them a chance
    • it was. Look up his picture he looks like the spawn of the devil, literally. I don't get scared easily but I actually had a jump scare googling him he looks like pure evil 
    • Paaji if you look carefully when Southall was mainly Sikh (when the Sangat first settled) those areas were great. Ilford is a prime example. Today everyone knows that place is a dump but back when it was just apne and jews the place was spotless. Problem is in London, it's always Jews in an area first and the Sikhs come to stay for about 20 years. But then the <banned word filter activated> move in we all run like it's the plague (we all know why). Same thing happened to Southall, now we're losing it to Somalis rapidly. Issue is that Sikhs make an area good, but when the <banned word filter activated> come we all move and leave it for them to ruin. We need to flock an area and STICK TO IT like they do. Had Sikhs not left Ilford and sold houses to them It would still be okay.
    • Let them try to come for us. Guru Gobind Singh Ji maharaj gave us a Dastar to stand out and a shastar to defend it. Package deal. Singhs say in schools "another kid pulled my joora down" then I say "tere Shastar kithe si, Maharaj ne sanu ik talwar ditta si, pagg nu rakshe vaaste" We're Shastar dhari for a reason. To protect ourselves and others. And for Singhs in the region, what is stopping them getting 15-20 Singhs together and going down to protect our Gurdware and even other places of faith like we're meant to? Happened in Ilford back in like 2013 with the racist riots, a hundred Singhs and Kaurs flooded Karamsar Gurdwara to guard it. Sadly our Sardaari has been lost apparently.
    • We're still here bro don't worry 💪 . The Singhs on Reddit aren't as nice or knowledgeable as those on here, I don't really like them. For me, this site was a staple of London singhs back in the 2000s which I love. Back when we repped Patkas, Shahi Turbans and Dumalla Sahibs instead of a little black durag tied w a patka cos we're scared to look like real Singhs with a joora on our heads like Maharaj told us to and rep the panth
