The lost Sikh turban style

Is the joke he's referring to about the earrings?  I'm confused.

I think we all agree the Guru Sahiban are worthy of our respect.  If it was the joke about the earring stand, I thought it was funny, but I have all the class of a stray dog.

I think when we are free of the five vices we will look at this maya and laugh and laugh.  Everything we took so seriously, how offended we were on behalf of our own fragile egos.  This place is too ugly not to be a big joke in the end.

I also think whether it's the Guru Sahiban, or Buddah, or Christ, that they must have a really good sense of humor and some thick skin.  I bet they spend half their time laughing at us and the other half shaking their heads.

I guess it's fair to say some people thought it was funny and some didn't, and if we're upset about it, it's an opportunity to release some damas and chant the naam and chuckle.

The actual joke, or rather, tongue in cheek remark was this:

Quote

Excuse me sir, do you know where I can get earrings similar to the ones worn by the Gurus?

Many thanks.

Which in itself was a response to a long post about how Guru Sahib didn't wear earrings.

I would like to believe this is true. With the amount of Gyaani Policing that goes on here, one would not be wrong in wondering if they're actually on a Irani forum, a forum on which the logo wouldn't be dissimilar to the one created by SikhSangat coincidentally.

When I used to eat meat, I'd order a cheeseburger, and then with a dead serious face ask the waiter to make sure only kosher ingredients were used. 

Best not to mention meat here brother. Unless it's the meat of vegetables.

 

P.S. Use the quote function, it makes it easier to see and respond to your posts.

Absolutely.  Thanks to the example set by the Guru Sahiban, the Khalsa, and writings of SIkh Dr's I've stopped eating it.  I've realized the huge impact the hormones have on us, and that we are not meant to eat it physically, and also that it is cruel.   I was a fool to eat it, and am thankful to the Sangat for helping me.  I am still a fool and am thankful for gurbani, and simran.  I am thankful to be able to come here and surround myself with wiser people than myself.

I've been chanting the naam, reading my daily hukam, and studying japji for some time now, all of which has benefit me immensely.  I still struggle with anger and attachment but as my focus on vaheguru increases my pain and anger decrease.  I carry my own "kirpan" and by the good example of the Khalsa seek to love and protect anyone who needs it, which I've almost paid the final bodily price for before.

I am like a stray dog, that comes to the gurus house, having been so well treated I am loyal to my master.  My master who I cannot even be a sacrifice to.  When the fear and darkness seem to be falling upon me I chant the naam and release my head as if it has been cut off for the guru.  It has come to be my only comfort.

Lol I support the decision of all diets. Wanna eat meat, go for it, don't wanna eat it, fine by me. One cannot justify either view as there are examples of both choices. We can't and shouldn't force others. I respect your choice though. Do you feel different in any way after stopping? Physically, mentally, spiritually? Please share your experience. And likewise brother, we are glad you have joined us here in this madness we call Sangat!

Glad to hear, again please do make a topic on your studies. I'm sure we would all learn something. We all struggle with the panj chor, they're ghastly but addictive. Are you willing to elaborate on the latter comment? If you feel comfortable of course.

We are all stray dogs (you'll find out later which are rabid though haha). Happy to hear that Maharaaj has done Kirpa on you to walk this path.

Don't become an ant though because I am still armed with ant powder. Someone took my gun so it's all I have left.

I can't count the number of times I'd have been done for spiritually or physically without the Kirpa of Maharaaj.  I am truly a wretched fool many times over who is sustained I think by Kirpa alone. 

Vah brother, just Vah! Had I known you were to return with such a profound reply, I would have urged you to make a new topic because this, and forgive my language, sure as sh!t deserves one.

I am however, slightly lost for words lol. I will need to read your post a few times over before I can say something which is even 0.1% of what you have written.

For now...Fateh Parvaan Karo Ji, Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fatehhhh!!!!

Sada Jai Bhagauti!!

Thanks to you, I know now how to say "Booooleeee sooo Nihaaal! Sat Sri Akalee"  Would have been great to hear it that day, but Sikh's are smart enough not to be drinking downtown.  Lol.  I know that had there been one I'd have not been alone.  That's why I've come to kick it with you guys on sikhsangat.  I don't really vibe with most people in my area these days.  And sometimes I can't find answers to questions about punjabi, or guri, or things online.

Loll I was wondering if you were the same person!! I'm sure you'll get a chance to do a Jaikaara soon enough, Gurprasaad!

On behalf of SikhSangat I welcome you to the forum! We hope to have you here...well until Kalyug ends!

Do mind the trolls and ants however. :grin

    • 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.
