bhagauti astotar from Dasam Granth Patna Saroop!


Recommended Posts

Do you know that in some areas of West Bengal, where Durga pooja is very popular, the artists that make her idols with clay, they collect some mitti/soil from the doorstep of a prostitute!  They collect a bit of soil from there and then mix it into the clay to make the idol. The reason behind this is that when a man visits a prostitute he leaves his "virtues" and "dharam" at her doorstep, and once in her house he indulges in the opposite. So the miti outside the wh0res house has the "virtues" of all the men that enter her house. So that mitti is "pavitar"

Another story, which is quite controversial, its a folk story in the Bengal area, the story goes that durga actually seduced the demon to weaken him with his vikaars and then killed him!  this is a folk story in some rural areas of Bengal, and since then wh0res have been worshiping that form of Durga.

interesting stuff though ... 

For Sikhs she symbolizes the shakti of Waheguru ji?

You probably didn't post this picture with good intentions. Problem is when you see these things through the lense of Hindu depictions and scriptures. Maharaj has given us our own scripture to reference from which gives her physical description. To begin with she doesn't look anything like this. She has her hair tied on the top of her head in a ਜੂੜਾ and to cover this joora she probably also wore a dastar as I have been told by Nihangs. She dresses as a warrior full of Shastars.

My intentions were blank slate. I wanted to see how the singhs here react to the hindu depictions of bhagauti. 

And from hinduism alone, 'shaktism' to be precise, for the first time, arose concepts of durga/chandi/bhagwati.

Yes according to Hinduism what you are saying is correct. But according to Bani, Vahiguru had created Durga to destroy the Demons(ਤੈ ਹੀ ਦੁਰਗਾ ਸਾਜਿ ਕੈ ਦੈਤਾ ਦਾ ਨਾਸੁ ਕਰਾਇਆ।।)

When did I deny this. I m aware of this. 

But I m saying Durga or chandi as a concept is originally Hindu one which sikhism borrows. Isn't it

Sikhi doesn't borrow anything from anyone. What Sikh scriptures does do is set the record straight as to who or what these Devtas, Devis, Demons, prophets are in the grand scheme of things within the creation of Vahiguru. What are their strengths and weaknesses. 

Guru Granth Sahib ji mentions about these deities. If we want to reference about them then obviously we will reference from Dasam Bani to see who and what they are. We will not reference from the works of the Hindus and Muslims.

    • 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.
