Norse mythology and Sikhi

I recently played the new assasins creed game and it is about vikings and I was wondering what you think the Sikhi perspective is on Norse mythology?

I don't think there is any reference to Norse mythology in any of the Sikh Granths.

Do yuu think that Norse Gods are real and Asgard also Vallhala?

I think most Sikh people probably think Norse mythology is fake but believe in Hindu Mythology.

hindus had a pantheon , so did Greeks and Romans so why not Scandia folks ? European pagan religions believe in bali just like the others including Hindu faiths , they wholesale go for an animistic, fatalistic world view which is not anything which Sikhi rates highly and the lack of compassion for human and beasts (sacrificial offerings and slavery) is a big no no  too. Guru ji would have included them in the manmukh and lost/blind categories .

It's the same Gods/Godesses but different cultures gave them different names. Arabs used to worship Durga and Saraswati. Vedic deities are the same as Greek Gods, like Indira is the same as Zeus. I think the Roman's borrowed some of the Greek Gods and then the Catholics borrowed some of the Roman deities and Catholasized them. The Virgin Mary is a Roman Godess, which I believe the Roman's got from the Greeks, they just renamed her as Mary. 

Hindus get really exited and start squealing like chimps when archeologists discover idols of humans with animal heads, they start claiming that it's a "hindu" God and that the inhabitants of those lands worshipped Hindu Gods.

Avtaars like like Raam, Krishna came much later, they basically replaced the Vedic Gods like Indra, Suriya, Vayu etc

it is not Bali we don't offer prayers to  a deity and the life of the creature (pure arrogance on the part of human) to get something in return from that deity .Jhatka is purely executing that creature in the most efficient and pain-impulse free way possible nothing more , I will not say it is compassionate because it would be more compassionate to let it live

I'd argue it's ritual animal murder performed while invoking a deity, even if it is our good-guy deity. 

Killing an animal while uttering a mantra is part of the same Mystery Babylonian school of dark magick (of which the Indic belief strands are partly derived) that opens up the individual to possession by entities. That berserker rage / bir rass obtained from this practice that's extolled by certain factions is actually something you don't want. Anyone who says it can be controlled is having a laugh.

It seemed like an acceptable Sikh practice to me for many years, but having studied dark magick for a while now (out of curiousity, not as a student, lol) it's clear to me that it's part of the same school of thought as child sacrifice and sex magick. 

When we do it, it's supposedly pure and holy, but when others do it's empty, dangerous ritual. There's something quite hypocritical about it.

well I gave up maas and aande four decades ago when I had amrit, after reading sakhian of people going into joon I cannot see taking of those lives as anything other than equivalent to murder and therefore needs to be stopped . We are not in wartime , living in jungles anything justifiable to eat maas for survival  , and we can practice shastar skills in nonlethal ways these days ..

This is true for Sikhs who practice it for the correct reasons such as preparing for a war.  Some do ardaas because they are asking for forgiveness from God for taking a life.  This is Gurmat.  Now there is another side to it.  The Sikhs at takht Hazur Sahib slaughter a goat using the one strike way but they have made it into a sacrifice. The blood of the goat is ritually used to anoint the weapons placed before Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji Parkash.  The Hazur Sahib Sikhs are purely influenced by the surrounding area of a hindu majority. Sacrifice, rituals, making women second class has all been adopted from their hindu brothers.

The Guru given Bir rass is pure and is no different than the Guru given compassion.

    • 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.
