excellent point.

I too bought a leather jacket and have been reluctenet to wear it on the day i am 'Aware' of what i am doing. On other day when i am 'Asleep' it is nothing more than something that keeps me warm during winter.

I use to wear a leather jacket too but i got rid of it... leather jackets are warm and expensive but theres so many other jackets that can keep u warm...so why not go for something else.....i know theres certain things we can't avoid....but we can try our best to try minimising the 'killin' market.....

If an animal is dead and its skin is used to make tabla skin... whats wrong wit that ?? We are using it to singh the praises of guru ji ...

... on the other hand if we wear a leather jacket made of animal skin, still nothing wrong wit it unless you deliberately kill the animal to make the fur, but if not its giving someone use ... but sitll its getting into fashion and hence, like gurpreet singh bro said, why dont we just wear another jacket or coat, there is so much variety nowadays

Ya I have been really confused about the tablas, but the reason Guru Ji told us not to eat meat is because we have no right to kill one of God's creatures for our own taste. These animals are killed to get their hide/fur. So i duno, if Guru forbid us to eat meat because we're killing an innocent animal, then I don't think wearing one is okay either! If you want a leather look, you can buy pleather (fake leather). Its cheaper and looks the same too! (But i dont think its too warm!!) :TH:

Even Bhagat Ravidaas Ji used to use the skin of cows and animals to make leather etc

In India for example the dead cows (not killed but whic

h have died) they go to a certain place where the bones and skins are separated and used for different purposes.

Killing an animal for a coat or skin = sounds bizzarre and seems like the person would have to be stuck in Maya to do that

i've seen many shasters and kirpans have LEATHER sheaths.....

so if it's good enough for our shasters...it's probably okay for us to wear toooo
