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.

    • 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. 
    • best thing is to follow the Sikh Rehat Maryada and use common sense for gray areas. Anything outside of that's irrelevant tbh that code is what Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the 5 Pyaare agreed on when creating Amrit in 1699
