Sis, what do you think this rehit was?

When you look at surviving manuscripts, there was never one centrally accepted one from what I can tell?

You, and many others, make the mistake of assuming that the remaining Rehatnamas actually were the view held by (a section of) the Sikh community. We should keep the possibility in mind that most of these rehats were personal reflections or desires of the author.

I know what you mean, there are some older rehitnamey which have a distinct brahmanic bouquet ... but I take global view if it goes against what Guru Sahiban illustrated in itihaas and by His Bachan then I will avoid doing oolangna of Guru ji's hukam.

Some Rehatnama contradict each other. If there was a uniting thing for Sikhs it was Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

There never was. Nihang Singh rehit was actually the rehit talked about in many granths, rehitnamas etc. Today people don't really like those rehits such as shaheedi degh or jhatka.

What is Shaheedi Degh? (I honestly don't know of this Rehat)

both the same jhatka= shaheedi degh

dasam Granth and Guru Granth Sahib were unifying it was only after advent of angrez that questions were created by their sponsored mischief makers

I'm not doubting Dasam Granth; however, it's something I'd assume most common Sikhs wouldn't be able to either find or read directly. (I have never seen a physical saroop of Dasam Granth, and it's the modern era).

the worrying thing in my mind is , the GOI raided our treasury of purataan documents once before in 1984 days after the attack and again Sikhs are bewakoof and surrendering their itihaasic haath likat Purataan saroops of Guru ji and Dasam Granths to Sikh Ref Library mark 2 after being begged by SGPC ...this time our history WILL be removed wholesale ... WHY are sikhs so slow to understand that each was safer being kept in individual families , getting full satkar , sewa rather than being placed in locked rooms only being seen by ???

Anyway getting back to point , some of the purantaan saroops have been digitised and may be available from punjab digital library. Besides one can find online resources for Dasam and Sarabloh granths

Wrong

Mahaparshad=jhatka

Shaheedi degh is a drink that nihangs make by adding stuff like almonds,couscous,5 pattey of marijuana and other stuff. This is called shaheedi degh.

We also have to look at granths such as gurbilas patshahi 6ve, gurbilas patshahi 10ve, pracheen panth Prakash, bansavlinama, prem sumarag Granth etc. If in these granths a lot of things are similar such as rehit etc then that's how the Sikh community would have done back in the day.

    • So, are you saying Guru ji isn't God? Or are you saying the British encouraged this belief?
    • Part of the problem is the hostilities between India and Pakistan. If the border were open, Amritsar would easily become a huge trading city. Secondly, the National Highways Authority of India is constructing a new 6-lane expressway from Kashmir, through Amritsar/Jalandhar/Ludhiana to Dehli which will be part of the Ludhiana-Delhi-Kolkatta Industrial Corridor.  Maps of the New Silk Road show Kolkata as a key part of the "road". The Punjab to Kolkata expressway and rail connections will fulfill the ability to hook up to the New Silk Road.  In addition, while crossing to Pakistan via AH1 (Asian Highway 1) is difficult, India does connect to AH1 on the other side, towards the East. Finally, Punjab can trade with the world via Mundra port in Gujurat. Rail to Mundra, then sea onwards. Dubai is very close with a free port. If you send products to Iran, there are ground links onward to Europe.
    • Yeah, that's one possibility. Another I initially thought is that it's a Muslim trying to gather info. But then, you might ask, how does he know about Sikh textual sources. Well, you'd be surprised at their resourcefulness. A final possibility is he's a weak Sikh who was asked a question by a non-Sikh and now he's suddenly feverishly wondering where it's "written" that you can't marry a young child. To the latter, I would say, you're looking in the wrong spot. Gurbani isn't a 1428 page rulebook, like Leviticus or the Vedas: ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਪੁੰਨ ਪਾਪ ਬੀਚਾਰਦੇ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ The Simritis and Shastras discriminate between charity and sin, but know not the essence of the Real Thing. Without the Guru, they know not the essence of the Reality, know not the essence of the Reality. Anand Sahib.
    • You're confusing two different things: One is merely adding starch to a turban to get a certain feel to the fabric. The other is tying your turban once and taking it off like a hat. It is this that people have a problem with. What's wrong with it is that Rehit says to tie your turban afresh every time. If you ask, "Where is that written?", it's written in Bhai Nand Lal ji's Rehitnama. @ipledgeblue didn't just make it up. Umm, no, bro. We're not evangelical Christians like President George W Bush of the US claiming to "talk to God" who told him to invade Iraq. "Speaking to him directly" basically ends up being doing whatever you feel like with the excuse that Guru ji told you to do it. If you still want to take your turban off like a hat, feel free to do so, but don't claim that it's Rehit.
    • You don't need to wear either a pag or dumalla in the gym. You can simply wear a meter or 1.5m small turban (gol pagg or round turban). It doesn't come off.
