You have been on forums for the last 20 years.  Taking all of your 20 years into account on this topic.  It's more than fair to say you have tried to stop/divert the meat debate when it comes to not consuming meat. 

Nope. I've never stopped anyone discussing the matter. Never will. 

I know many Sikhs are vegetarian, I know many are not. It's about as simple as that.

What these meat eaters and vegetarians who blindly support animal killing don't understand is the poultry, cattle, milk, animal farm industries have a big say in what is happening in the world economy.  It has been proven many times now, the consumption of meat is destroying the planet.  People are starving because people want to eat meat.  The farming industry is developing thousands of hectares of grain and corn just to feed the animal who will be slaughtered for consumption.  If an alien was to come down and look at this process.  He would go mad with how stupid these humans are.  Millions of christains, muslims, jews, Sikhs, who eat meat, give to charity so a mouth can be fed in a foreign country.  Yet if these religious people give up their consumption of meat, they can feed twice or even three times the amount of people in the world.  Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji said, paraphrasing, before looking outside, judge the soul inside of you.  If everyone took this to heart and understood what happens when one animal is killed for their plate, they would stop eating meat. 

I agree.

I wonder how many anti cow £5 noters would make a U turn on their stance if all employers started paying with new £5 notes cash in hand! Animal rights will go out the window :shock.

Waheguru!

Why are Gurdwaras in Punjab still using milk to clean Gurdwara sahib floors ? Milk has no cleaning properties that are beneficial to marble. The extraction/theft of milk from cows is also un-neccesary. Not to mention it's a waste of milk. Same concept as washing the nishan sahib flag pole with milk...pure ritualism..

Using milk is a tradition from puratan times that is still being carried on. Milk is also considered pavitar.

Floor of harmandar sahib is also cleaned daily with milk - seems likle this maryada has carried on from Guru ji's times.

    • Everything in Gurbani points us towards the Atma. Atma and Parmatma are the same… Atama and Parmatma is the source that creates and causes everything… What have the following items got in common? A fan. A television. A fridge. A radio. A computer..? These things are powered by electricity. Without electricity these things are lifeless. It’s the electricity that causes these things to function… Atma is the source of energy that allows everything to happen.    without Atma, we are lifeless… Call this Atama RAGUNATH…call this Atma by any other name…the fact remains that it’s the life force energy… Dieties also have the same Atma as humans, but they still part of the creation, and not the creator…  
    • Hi I want to know who’s ragunath in gurbani Hindu claim this word appear for ram chandra if we read guru teg bahadur maharaj salok maharaj clearly rejecting ram gayo ravan geo but at the last pangti Kahu naanak īh bipaṭi mai tek ēyk ragɦunaaṭɦ ॥55॥ Says Nanak, in this calamity, the Lord alone is my support who is this ragunaath why would maharaj use ragunath as refrence for god?
    • Throughout history we have been tested and tried. We remained steadfast and resiliant. The events that took place in Punjab and outside of Punjab in the past years made it quite clear we are big players in the game which kept the world powers on edge. It started off with the drug pandemic in Punjab, to the uproar by Bhai Amritpal Singh to the Farmer's protest. Outside of Punjab the deaths of Avtar Singh Khanda (UK) and Hardeep Singh Nijjar (Canada) created a stir within our community. This was probably our first real opportunity to establish something but how quickly members of our own community forget history. We have been a threat to civilization in the past and this is probably what the world powers are concerned about. However, may we continue grow and learn through Gurbani and like Jaswant Singh Khalra said: 'May the spirit of equal rights Punjab continue to kindle'. 
    • This is why people used to get married earlier in puratan times. Think about it, nowadays you legit have to be brahmacharya at ages when you're supposed to be married and producing children, which historically speaking, is unprecedented outside of the Sants in Indic tradition. 
    • I think that user has not been on the forum since around 2011. You can message me if you want.
