The place where Maharaaj's saroop is kept is also called a Sachkhand. Our 5 Takhts are also Sachkhands Bhul chuk maaf

Mata jee would have followed her husband lord's instructions and never questioned them. Sachkhand is a state of mind, exists within us and also exists in the universe. It might have many more meanings. Bhul chuk maaf

Problem solved -- Not exactly. Tampering with God made Maryada is very dangerous. We cannot start changing our rules brother, to become more inclusive. What's next? Anand Karaj of Homosexuals? Homosexuals as Panj Pyaray? Women on menses entering Sachkhands? Bhul chuk maaf

Bro, what does Jorawar mean? Are you sure that it is derived from Arabic/Persian? Bhul chuk maaf

It was Moola Khatri jee, who was in the form of rabbit. He was killed by Maharaaj and liberated. 5 Singhs (Rehatvaan Gursikhs) also have the power to liberate a soul. Sri Satguru jee has passed his powers to the Khalsa. Bhul chuk maaf

AKJ is Akhand Kirtani Jatha. They do good kirtan. Some of their members are spiritually very high too. Bhul chuk maaf

Good thinking. Bhul chuk maaf

Gurparsaad, Daas will make a topic on Jhatka Maryada. Few key points: The blood of the sacrificed animal is applied to the Shastars. Gurbani is recited before slaughtering the animal. Only adult male animals are sacrificed The soul of the animal can be liberated, by the Ardaas of 5 Singhs The soul of the animal can acquire a human body, by the Ardaas of 5 Singhs. Bhul chuk maaf

Meat eating is a separate topic Sister. Daas is staunchly against meat eating, but respects Jhatka and Shaheedi degh Maryada. We, as Sikhs, have no option, but to respect the maryadas made by Maharaaj. Meat eating has already been discussed on this forum. Please go through the below topics. Bhul chuk maaf

Times have changed in terms of technology, but human psychology still comes into play in battle. Maharaaj knew very well, how to make us warriors. Bhul chuk maaf

@N30 S!NGH - Paaji, you can lock this topic. The reference has been added. Thanks Bhul chuk maaf

That was a close call. Have you gone for hunting? Bhul chuk maaf

Please listen to Gyani Thakur Singh jee. The light (Prakash) did not enter the Panj Pyaray, as a woman was part of them. Practical proof of why women can never be part of Panj Pyaray. Please listen after 7.00 min: Bhul chuk maaf

Only the groom carrying the sword is part of Punjabi/Indian culture. According to Rehat Maryada, a Kirpan is given to the bride's family too. Bhul chuk maaf

Has anyone gone for hunting? If so, can you please share your experience? Thanks a lot. Bhul chuk maaf

Good points. Hunting tigers, boars, lions, bears and other wild animals definitely involves risks, especially if the hunting party does not have any guns. Bhul chuk maaf

That was the harsh reality of those times. Sikh women committed suicides too to prevent being raped or forcefully married to non-Sikhs. In the past, Sikh men have killed their own womenfolk, so that they don't become victims of sexual assault. We should respect those Sikh women, who sacrificed themselves (either suicide or killed by their menfolk) to protect their honor. They preferred death over dishonor. Bhul chuk maaf

Sister, Gurbani is more than enough to make people brave and courageous, but not all people are at a level to extract full benefit from it. Maharaaj used human psychology too, to infuse war like instincts into us. One needs a strong stomach to be in a battle. It is not very easy for a normal human to see body parts flying all over the place, blood and other bodily fluids being splattered, intestines ripped open, severed arms, legs, heads, etc, lying on the ground, people crying and screaming in extreme pain, etc. Jhatka Maryada, Shikar (hunting) of wild animals and Sri Dasam Gurbani prepares a person mentally and physically to be in a battle field. Bhul chuk maaf

To add to the above - variety of pain killers/medicines, modern medical surgery procedures, anesthetics, medical testing technology (MRI, ultrasounds, x-rays, etc), etc. Bhul chuk maaf

Going to the mosque and saying "Allah u Akhbar" (God is Great) is fine; whatever rest he did - Maharaaj knows why he did it. Bhul chuk maaf

A Sikh must never insult the ritual of Jhatka and Shaheedi Degh. Bhul chuk maaf

Bro, did you go to the doctor? If not, go right away. Three weeks is a substantial period. On a positive side - maybe some spiritual experience - Dhan Guru Nanak....toon hee Nirankaar. Bhul chuk maaf

Maharaaj has answered your question in Gurbani ANG 1204 ਗਿਰਿ ਬਸੁਧਾ ਜਲ ਪਵਨ ਜਾਇਗੋ ਇਕਿ ਸਾਧ ਬਚਨ ਅਟਲਾਧਾ ॥੧॥ The mountains, the earth, the water and the air shall pass away. Only the Word of the Holy Saint shall endure. ||1|| Bhul chuk maaf
