How do you know he did that. The Hindu texts are thousands of years old.. do you not think they’ve been twisted and changed over time?

 

The narration of his own previous Janam wasn’t made up, so why would he have made up the rest. 

Go to sikhawareness.com and go through all the recent threads covering Charitrio Pakyaan and see for yourself. 

 

Also, where did the moslem characters in Chandhee Ki vaar come from? They aren't in the original.  

 

Dasam bani isn't simple. It shouldn't be interpreted on surface literal levels. It's deep and complex on multiple dimensions.

Like carpenters had the God of woodworking.

I don't know too much about it, but the deity you are talking about, Vishkarma, wasn't the god of woodworking, he was like a god of design/engineering. My guess is that they was some sort of representation of Akal Purakh's designing, architectural creative power? Apparently (according to Indic mythology) he designed the universe, war chariots for devtay, created tools and weapons for devtay.

There are some Sikhs (even Amritdhari) that observe Vishwakarma Jayanti and do not use/give rest to the tools of their trade for the day. They won't open their workshops/gyms etc. I have always been confused by that and still don't know why they do so.

My cousin was a builder in the UK and he used to take a day off on Vishwakarma day     He said its bad luck for builders to work on that day lol! 

My Gujarati friend is from a carpenter caste and she worships Vishwakarma, she actually lays tools out and worships them.

End of the day we are from the India, so obviously Sikhs were gnna use indian symbols/figures in art that were popular at that time. Devi/Devte are Indian culture used in literature, music, art, dance etc    Sikhs are Indians so used Indian images/symbols. Kali/Durga is the goddess of war so Sikhs used her image on flags and swords ...

Really cool image, its of Maharaja Sher Singh.   Look at their dastars, really long material at the back, while the Akalis are wearing the Dastar bunga.     And then there seems to be some sadhoos at the bottom looking at them passing.    Not a fat person in sight.     If you look carefully on the right side theres someone whose hanging by a rope!

I am not as educated as some of the folks on this forum. So, please excuse my lack of learning. I hope to learn from you.

In reference to image FJ8FJE above (some kind of yogi figure on harmandir sahib wall), it seems that the image may be that of Dushtdaman (the name of Guru Gobind Singh Ji from his past life).

Yea that is quite likely

    • 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.
