vwihgurU jI kI &iqh!!

What are we arguing here? It seems like everyone agrees! :wub:

These were all people one with Waheguroo, otherwise they wouldn't have their bani in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee. However, "Guru" is a title, and this title was only bestowed upon 10 living and the one granth Gurus.

Matha tekna to paintings is simply what uneducated people do. Educate them but its not really that much if a crime?

Aso why do worshippers touch the stone stairs outside leading into SS gurdwara's?? Doesn't make sense but i guess the above applies in the same way.

Wether ravidass was a guru or not is not really relevant. It depends on the defintion of guru. I undersand guru to mean teacher. Hence we learn't lots from ravidass so why not say he was a guru?

Also many of the 10 gurus were selcted from family members. I don't think that is consistent with what a real guru should be. Ravidass came from no where, and established him self with no help from no one.

Also if the SGGS is a living guru, then by definition anyone who contributed to those holy scriptures should also be Guru.

Mathematically..

Living Guru(SGGS) = Guru+Guru+.......+Guru etc

Are you lot saying...

Living Guru (SGGS)= Guru+Bhagat+Guru+.....+bhagat etc... this would devalue the SGGS to living bhagat???

ravidassias are ofter rude towards gursikhs they are not sikhs because

1) they say ravidas is a guru

2) they dont believe in gur maryada

3) they say jo bole so nirbhay guru ravidas maharaj ki jai

4) they cant decide if their hindu or sikh

lol ok..lets begin..

"Also many of the 10 gurus were selcted from family members. I don't think that is consistent with what a real guru should be. Ravidass came from no where, and established him self with no help from no one."

If this was the case whyt was Guru Tegh Bahadur the 9th Guru rather than 7th? He would've been next in line if it was purely on family.

"Aso why do worshippers touch the stone stairs outside leading into SS gurdwara's?? Doesn't make sense but i guess the above applies in the same way."

Nope, its being humble as to touch the sangat's feet - To show that we are lower than the sangat.

"Wether ravidass was a guru or not is not really relevant. It depends on the defintion of guru. I undersand guru to mean teacher. Hence we learn't lots from ravidass so why not say he was a guru?"

His mission wasnt to teach. He reached Waheguru as a bhagat. What your saying implies that any mahapurash becomes a Guru as well.. :lol:

"Are you lot saying...

Living Guru (SGGS)= Guru+Bhagat+Guru+.....+bhagat etc... this would devalue the SGGS to living bhagat???"

No we saying Living Guru (aka Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji not SGGS) = Souls that merged with Akaal purakh - including Guru Sahib Ji. Guru Arjun Dev Ji ONLY added Bhagat's banis because they agreed with Gurmat.

Can I just make a point here, that we instantly claim that all and everyone who go to a Ravidass Gudwara is somehow anti-Gurmat etc etc etc.

There was another post like this a few weeks ago...with the usual rants and rave for and against.

You can't generalise in such matters and for what it's worth...what does it matter anyway?

I for one believe the general consensus that there is only ONE Guru Ji...Bhagat Ravidass is VERY COMMENDABLE...and some part of me respects him as such and would include him in my idea of a ONE GURU JI....our family goes to a Ravidass Gudwara....and whenever I go my only concern is for Maharaji.

Some people, generally the OLDER generation, may place more weighting on Ravidass then on Maharaji, but that doesn't mean we should generalise and condem each and all who are of that particular 'caste'.

Just like we shouldn't distinguish between the Jats and Ramgharria etc etc etc...

If you really are humble get married to a lower caste or get married without even asking about caste. This is humble.

You just summed up a fake sikh trying to act out in front of others they are humble by doing this stupid act ''.LMAO. You might as wash your sins by going to the ganges as well...lol

Guru ravidass was no "ANY" mahapurash was he. He was accepted as an equal by the sikh faith.

If you add water to water it will be water. Add anything else it will become something else. Hence SGGS contributors are all Gurus.

Why are Guru ravidass holy scritptures in the SGGS if you people don't learn from them?? Are they just as fiction??

What this person is saying is typical propaganda from the Ravidassia community that everyone mentioned in the Guru Granth Sahib is a Guru hence the reason why at the Guru Ravidass Bhawan on Union Row (off Soho Rd, Birmingham) has pictures of most of the bhagats in the Darbar Sahib with the labels of Guru Sheikh Farid, Guru Namdev etc.

Lets take a detailed look. Guru Nanak was the only person to have met with Waheguru when he went missing for three days. Guru Nanak was given the Gian by Waheguru to start the path of Sikhi. This therefore makes Guru Nanak, the first Guru. How can any of the Bhagats be Guru's I ask? The Bhagats were foundation layers of the Sikhi faith and THE FIRST GURU was Guru Nanak.

And I end by quoting Bhagat Ravidass from the Shabad 'Sachee Preet Hum, Tum Sion Jore':

Jahan Jahan Jahun, Tahan Teri Seva,

Bhagat Heth, Gaveh Ravidassa.

Here it is clear for all to see that Ravidass refers to himself as BHAGAT.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

No propaganda mate. These point raise some interesting thoughts. Guru or bhangat to me personally mean little. Its the contribution that counts. The truth is whatever is said defined in the SGGS is the last word. If there are 10 gurus and x bhagats so be it when you want a clear cut defintion of "Guru" in this context. However he is still a teacher and has made some very powerful statements that we can all learn from.

Is there an article I in the SGGS? If not it doesn't mean nothing, just man made.

"The Bhagats were foundation layers of the Sikhi faith and THE FIRST GURU was Guru Nanak"

Totally agree with this. But how many others do??

so according to you majority of rehat maryaada means nothing rolleyes.gif

all i was trying to say was that yes satkaar you bhagat ravidaas jee contributed to guru granth sahib. but we cannot single out his bani and make him guru. our guru is a COMPLIATION of bani's from all these great people. :lol:

    • 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.
