Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh! Recently I was seeing something related to Sikhi, just to see what many people actually thought, and I noticed a lot of false information about Sikhs in general, (especially some of whom called themselves Sikhs), a lot of it had to do with Hinduism surprisingly. Why is education for Sikhi this awful? (Do the Pracharks in India not do anything?) Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

Examples?

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh! Look-up any article by a Hindu elitist or a lost Sikh about Sant Jarnail Singh Bhinderwale Ji, and you'd easily realize the bias of false information. (Not a normal Hindu, and hopefully Guru Sahib can overlook the Sikh person's mistake) Many Sikhs believe all religions are equal, (Mistakes from equality of humanity for humanity of religions); some Sikhs believe in the fact that all Sikhi is about is being nice, (which is still an important trait), and that simply being nice will help you. Some of them believe Amrit Vela is unnecessary and useless; while others don't know the benefits of Naam Jaapna. And finally, we have the idea that the 15 BHAGATS were Hindus and Muslims, despite them not doing anything related of the sort. (Bhagat Ramanand and Bhagat Jaidev for example never claimed his caste was superior to others and promoted equality, while Bhagat Farid didn't go and follow the pilgrimage to Mecca, and Bhagat Sadhna became Anti-Halal because Halal didn't have Daya). Basically it's a whole group of things, and sometimes these things are preached by the pracharks, Vaheguru forgive them (Bhul Chul Maaf for if I said anything wrong). Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

It is quite complex to highlight those occasionally subtle differences without becoming lost in semantics. I just think it's a culture of laziness at times. Some of it might also be mischief making in order to undermine Sikhi. Ultimately, it's the job of Sikhs to get that information out there and ensure it's accurate and verifiable, because if we don't do that, then others with agendas will come along.

Even if they did, no one will take them seriously.

There was this really daft ignorant liberal girl who made this picture of guru nanak dev ji with the status caption "before becoming hindu, muslim sikh become human first" and attributed it to guru ji. When in actual fact there is no such quote from Guru ji and the word 'sikh' would have been used in that context anyways because Guru J's followers were known as Sikhs after him and he didnt use that word himself.

    • 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.
