Your immaturity shines through your post. Your childish frustration is made apparent. Especially since you removed the sh1te link you based your understanding of Ahimsa on in your OP then later reposted it when it suited your wishy washy interpretation of Sikhi.

I didn’t say SGGS/Gurmat prohibits “utilisation of too many capital letters or exclamation marks”, you did when you said Ahimsa is a part of Gurmat. I was pointing out your lack of understanding.

Stop quoting rubbish articles and show real evidence.

Stop basing your ridiculous interpretations of Ahimsa on that article.

The concept of Ahimsa rejects violence in its ENTIRETY. Whether towards innocents OR enemies. It is complete non-violence no matter what the situation.

Stop basing your interpretation of Ahimsa on an article by Wasp’s.

Think before you associate that term with Sikhi.

Your immaturity has kept you from differentiating between Daya, Sarbat da Bhala and Ahimsa and displays your pagal puna interpretation of Dharam and Sikhi.

Sikhi delivers Daya either by peaceful means or violence, which ever is necessary. Go and read Sikh itihaas to comprehend this.

Go and learn what real Ahimsa is and stop destroying the names of our Gurus and Shaheeds.

You have forgotten the beauty of Sikhi and the concept of Sant-Sipahi. Ahimsa is not a part of Sikhi and never will be.

You have stated English is your mother tongue so you need to realise that it was in fact you who couldn’t afford to be civil with your OP. In case you’ve forgotten capitals and exclamation marks imply you are shouting.

And the fact English is your mother tongue is exactly the reason you’re interpreting deep Indic concepts immensely wrong.

For the love of God stop quoting that gandh in huge letters.

I've already said that website and article is not the sole authority on Sikhi.

Bari muse di lagdi.

The sacrifices of the sikhs and the sikh Gurus could correctly be described by the word kurbani. This word means sacrifice. The Gurus sacrificed their lives for the cause of the truth. 

However the word ahimsa means non violence which is much easily achieved than kurbani. Even in ardaas the word used in kurbani and not ahimsa. Kurbani only takes place when someone has a higher truth to stand for. Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji saved the Kashmiri pundits by taking it upon himself that if they manage to convert their Guru to Islam, they will comply too. He gave his life and thus saved their religion. 

Gandhi on the other hand made people sacrifice themselves for a cause in which he believed. His fasts are not real as he still maintained his fit body. He was still consuming some types of food to keep up his strength. He did not sacrifice himself for anyone else - it was just a play or a drama being conducted on his part. It was a false act which further got glorified by his followers - who were larger in number hence the greater publicity. 

Kurbani has its place in sikhism - not ahimsa. Kurbani has a greater divine purpose attached to it. Ahimsa is simply non-violence to make the enemy feel like a fool and to stop hitting or abusing you. I remember seeing a part in the film of Gandhi Ji where he was slapped on the face by the white man, he did not react at all and kept spinning his cloth himself.

The article from the website mentioned below, clearly states that Gandhi was not responsible for the origination of this concept.  He learned it from  the Sikhs! 

It states, "As fate would have it, Mahatma Gandhi is credited with starting the non-violent movement to oust the British from India, which later was to inspire leaders all around the world, including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. of the United States, in the liberation of other oppressed peoples. Gandhi deserves a little praise since he did have a later role in the implementation of non-violence, but he certainly was not the originator of that concept. He learnt that from the Sikhs. The Sikhs, in turn, drew their inspiration from their Gurus, two of whom had willingly and peacefully accepted execution when it was appropriate to make their point about the tyranny of the Islamic regime. Over time, when the situation deemed it necessary and appropriate, the Sikhs used the principle of non-violence again and again."

The same article further articulates in its concluding paragraph that non-violence originated with the Sikhs.  It states, "Gandhi's name has since been trumpeted throughout India and later throughout the world, yet the Sikhs have been virtually forgotten. Many people have never even heard of them. The time has come to give credit where it is due. The concept of nonviolence, which has led to extraordinary changes across the globe, originated with the Sikhs." *

And, of course the indispensable,  https://www.thesikhencyclopedia.com/philosophy/ahimsa

 

LOL you’re deluded. If you learn your history and get your facts from dubious websites like SikhiWiki that are filled will bakwaas edited by any Tom, D1ck or Harry then there is no hope for you.

Gandhi taking non-violence off the Sikhs???? LOL! Probably the most ridiculous baseless statement I’ve heard all year. It is well known that he lambasted Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji as well as other personalities from Indian history such as Marathi Maharaja Shivaji and Rana Pratap Singh for using violence. That was one of the reasons his own demise was a violent one.

That article is probably written by an id1ot like you.

The only story widely accepted is the one that Gandhi stole the idea of non-cooperation from the Namdhari Kuka Movement who were notoriously violent.

Non-cooperation and non-violence are two different things.

Why don’t you go and read about Gandhi first. He was heavily influenced by Jains. Jainism developed the concept of Ahimsa.

You need to take a basic History class and a basic Religious Studies class.

This is my last post to you. It's senseless telling you anything when you clearly have no idea about any of these subjects and use extremely questionable sources.

Probably a troll.

What about the Bhagats disciples? Daas doesn't really think or believe the followers of Ravidas or Kabir or any of the 15 Bhagats disciples will grow spiritually much, we can learn from Mahapurukhs; however, even Mahapurukhs think of Vaheguru differently from each other; which is why if they don't connect us to Vaheguru, but rather themselves it won't help much.

why not Bro ? the ravidasia lot have to read Guru ji to access Ravidas' s words same with Kabir Panthis  so they via their mahapurakh's good actions have unlocked access to the Treasure of Dhan Dhan Guru Granth Sahib ji.

We observe weapons emerging in Sikhism for the first time, with Guru Hargobind, the 6th Guru. There is no evidence if weapons were ever used before or by the 7th, 8th or the 9th Guru that followed until, the 10th Guru.

Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji (formerly Bhai Teg Mal) partook in the Battle of Kartarpur, and most likely other undocumented skirmishes as a youngster. He was a trained warrior. There are sources available that prove they fought.

    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj.
