Sikh/punjabi Athleticism And Physical Prowess


Recommended Posts

Former wrestler Dwayne Johnson has Samoan roots as you know, and they've always been physically impressive from that part of the world.

I asked one Maori guy how he got so big and he claimed Maoris and all Pacific Islanders consume rhubarb leaves which is high in protein. Maybe we should introduce this food in our diet?

Never heard of rhubarb leaves being used as such a high source of protein. I think it might be worth a try. Also, they must surely consume vast amounts of fish, what with them living next to the sea.

I searched the net and apparently it is toxic and poisonous. Please don't consume the leaves. I think I may have been had. Maybe he meant the stalks?

It seemed a bit strange when you suggested it originally, but I assumed it was probably a Maori thing they ate. I'd sort your mate out if I were you, lol.

I was working at a bar and he was a bouncer contracted to work during big games. A couple of things about NZ. They really love their rugby. It's almost religious. Great place if you love the outdoors.

I hear it's wonderful from a couple of friends who've moved there with their families. Not sure how long it'll remain that way if it follows the immigration policies of Australia.

I visited there for about three weeks in 1996 , superb place , diverse landscapes and the Maoris well what I can say? that they reminded me of my brothers , the sense of humor, leg-pulling, clean humour, strict code of roles in family but in clan much respect for elders and wisdom of their ancestors , they hold their clan meetings in a building which respresents the legends of their kith and kin with heavily carved posts representing these stories and ancestors. The actual building is like being inside the body of a human the posts being the ribs , the clan take off their shoes before entering as it is a sacred space (funny thing is I had my shoes off before they told me about it) . The greeting is to touch your third eye area against the other person's and share a breath whilst holding the right hand of the person this is to connect with the atma/'Manna' of the other. They have a belief system which is spiritual but different from what we know.

Very keen warriors strong and fast: the tattoos on the faces are a religious rite and represent victories of their warrior lives , the chieftain daughters also have facial tattoos on chin and lips these signify status in clan.

    • 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.
