Crystal paaji, new points have come up - make-up, jewelry, beef and body piercings. It would be good to discuss them through Gurmat goggles. Bhul chuk maaf

Good job paaji. Daas would humbly request you to also post the Gurmukhi version of the above words. Thanks Bro, do you mean Raat or Rat (ਰਤ)? Bhul chuk maaf

Bakhs lo Singh saab. Bhul chuk maaf

Hold the palla of a Gursikh male, not of a ordinary human like me. Also, it does not mean that the female has no right to speak. Maryada has been made by God. We cannot change it. It is not my maryada. It is the maryada made by our Satguru. If SDGSJ is not equal to SSGGSJ, then why did you take amrit, where more Gurbanis from SDGSJ (3) are recited to prepare it, than SSGGSJ (2)? The equality in SSGSJ refers to spiritual equality, not physical. Physical differences cannot be completely ignored, while on the spiritual journey. A Sikh male will always guide his wife in the right direction and respect her. He will never ever treat her like a servant. Do you know, who the authors of DDT RM are? They were Brahamgyanis and most likely, had way more Bhagtee than the five Singhs combined together, from whom who took Amrit. Respecting one's spouse is submission? So when a adult son bows to his mother, is he being submissive? Try to understand with a cool mind. If you cannot see the problems associated with the so-called SRM, it is really surprising. Do you think, God-made maryada will have major flaws? Anyways, when you reach higher spiritual levels, you will realize the true path. Bhul chuk maaf

K bro... will delete the above post. Bhul chuk maaf

Waheguru

Gurparsad, a detailed and comprehensive post will be made. listing all the flaws in this so-called SRM. Bhul chuk maaf

Here is the link to that thread. http://www.sikhawareness.com/topic/17077-some-important-concerns/#comment-153732 Bhul chuk maaf

Sangat jee - Some anti-Gurmat (statements against Sikh principles) were made in the post below. They have been addressed below. Quote 3. Though Panj Pyaras were five males that day, the Gurdwara where I took it, has had a woman do this seva before. Further to this, the five addressed the women who took Amrit that day. They said there is absolutely NO limitations placed on women in Sikhi. They directly stated "Women who attain this level can just as easily be in the same place we are" Even better, they then made a direct challenge to the women present with this statement "We want to see at least some of you Singhnis who are here today, be in the same place we are and do seva as Panj Pyaras someday!" As if my day was not already awesome, THAT WAS ICING ON THE CAKE THAT MADE IT SPECTACULAR! Unquote Ask those people, what about disabled people? Why cannot they be in Panj Pyaray? Why the Hypocrisy? Ask them, who has given them the right, to change the maryada made by God? What about Transgenders and Homosexuals, as Panj Pyaray? They are human too. An Egalitarian is suppose to stand up for these people too. Quote 4. They also clarified some things: You do NOT have to be vegetarian. It's your choice if you are (I am) but if you choose to eat meat, it can not be killed the Muslim way. Unquote According to the so-called SRM, a Sikh may consume non-Halal meat. This would indicate that Sikhs can consume beef. Imagine the level of blasphemy in this. Sikhs, in the past, have sacrificed their lives for cow-protection, yet nothing is mentioned about beef in this so-called SRM document. This is another major flaw in the so-called SRM. A person, who truly believes in this so-called SRM, should not have any problem with consuming beef, otherwise he/she is being a hypocrite. Quote They also stated that piercings are not allowed because of the association to slavery in the past, Unquote Sikhism is a universal religion, and cannot be bound to history or time. There is a greater reason to why piercings are not allowed, rather than it just being associated with slavery. Most likely, body piercings were done in India, even before foreign powers started ruling India. Quote however all other jewelry is perfectly fine Unquote Sikhs should not wear any jewelry. This is mentioned in DDT RM. Quote Makeup is also not prohibited. Unquote Make-up is clearly prohibited by Satguru jee. This is also mentioned in DDT RM. Quote And besides, I had more control over his movements, than he did of mine, since I controlled the slack in the palla and could make him move slower or faster based on how much slack I let get in it. So when Singhs spout that lavans having the male in front is to denote the male's authority that she is supposed to be subject to... I laugh. I had control over his movements, he didn't have control over mine lol. To me it's more like a horse and chariot rider... where the male is the horse, pulling the chariot rider to the destination, but the chariot rider is the one who was in control LOL. Unquote The above is a bad example, from a Sikh and Egalitarian perspective. A person, who truly believes in equality, will never give this example. If one does, that he/she is a Hypocrite. This analogy proves that females should control men, illustrating inequality and is completely against Sikh way of thinking. Most of us know, what holding a palla means. The woman, holding the palla, signifies that she will follow her husband. Quote My husband suggested I should stop coming here... as certain mindsets will never change and it's so not worth it to stress over opinions of others. Unquote You are right. Sikh mindset (based on Sikhism) will never change, how hard outsiders try. Quote Meat they said its your choice but if you do eat meat it can not be ritualistically sacrificed and killed as Muslims do (and I guess Kosher too for same reason). Unquote The main sect of Sikhism, which allows meat eating, is Nihang Singh. They sacrifice the animal ritualistically too and a Sikh is only permitted to eat that. No other commercial meat, Halal/Kosher or otherwise, can be consumed by a Sikh. Jhatka maryada is not even mentioned in this so-called SRM document. Another major flaw. Quote They only referred to Sikh Rehet Maryada. And this is at a historical Gurdwara. Unquote Many historical Gurudwaras, especially in Punjab, are under SGPC control and the so-called SRM has been enforced there. If Nihangs or Nirmalay had control over Gurudwaras, then the RM would have been different. It all depends upon, who is in power. A heretic, like Dhunda has spoken at Gurudwara Bangla Sahib (historic temple). Does that make him right? Massa Ranghar (who consumed Alcohol and made prostitutes dance) had control over Golden temple. Does that make him right? Quote Interestingly they also said its prohibited to follow ANY sects (when they were mentioning sects which have been excommunicated like nirankaris etc). Unquote Sant Nirankari cult has been excommunicated from the Panth, not the Nirankari sect. DDT, Nanaksar, Nihangs Sewapanthis, etc, have never been excommunicated by the Panth. Sects were blessed by Satguru jee themselves. Tenth master gave a boon to Baba Kanahiya jee Maharaj (founder of Sewapanthi) that he will make a new sect. Panth is the tree and the sects are like the branches of it. If one says, that Satguru jee made a Panth, but no sects - it is similar to saying that God made the tree, but did not make it's branches, fruits, flowers, etc. Even if some fools get together and ex-communicate DDT or Nanaksar, Sikh religion (made by God) will still flourish. Quote They said follow SRM and SGGSJ only. So there... I am BOUND following SRM and no other RM as that's what Panj Pyaras specifically stated when I took Amrit!!! Unquote The so-called SRM has major flaws. Therefore, a person who completely agrees with all the points in that document, is not a Sikh. Panth's ultimate authority is Gurbani (which includes SSGGSJ, SDGSJ, etc) Bhul chul maaf

God willing, you will have a great happy married life. It would have been great if you had taken Amrit from Pyaray, not associated with the so-called SRM, but something is better than nothing. You have taken Khanday da amrit prepared by five Gursikh males (who might all have very high spiritual levels) and Daas is guessing that they must have read all 5 complete prescribed Gurbanis (2 from SSGGSJ and 3 from SDGSJ), while preparing the Amrit. If you keep moving ahead in your spiritual journey, by doing plenty of naam simran, Satguru jee will show you the right path. Even Daas first took Amrit from Pyaray, associated with the so-called SRM. There are some anit-Gurmat (against Sikh principles) statements made in this thread. They will be addressed in a separate topic. Bhul chuk maaf

Another tuk which seems to have sexual imagery and hence can be easily misinterpreted by a fool. ਅਨਦੁ ਕਰਹੁ ਮਿਲਿ ਸੁੰਦਰ ਨਾਰੀ ॥ Literally it means - enjoy with beautiful women. Bhul chuk maaf

Bro, you mean the DDT RM? Bhul chuk maaf

Sri Alahniyan Sahib jee is a Gurbani, which is read during Antim Sanskar ceremony. It starts on Ang 578 (Raag Wadhans). First tuk is as follows: ਧੰਨੁ ਸਿਰੰਦਾ ਸਚਾ ਪਾਤਿਸਾਹੁ ਜਿਨਿ ਜਗੁ ਧੰਧੈ ਲਾਇਆ ॥ Blessed is the Creator, the True King, who has linked the whole world to its tasks. In addition to that, Sri Kirtan Sohela Sahib jee is also read. Bro, you can also read the Antim Sanskar Maryada (DDT). It might provide more details. Bhul chuk maaf

The below is from the life story of Srimaan 108 Sant Gyani Kirpal Singh jee (previous head of Amritsari Taksal). Quote The students soon realized how difficult Dasam Granth was. Not only was its language very difficult but the metaphors and allegories were so intertwined that it amazed them at the genius of Guru Gobind Singh who in a relatively short span of his life, a major portion which he spent fighting battles and starting the Khalsa brotherhood, could compose such exquisite poetry also. Unquote [1] [1] - Life Stories of Great Sikh Saints Sangat jee - Just imagine - Students, who most likely, would have learned the exegesis of SSGGSJ, studied works of Bhai Gurdas jee, etc, are finding it difficult to understand SDGSJ. This clearly illustrates the amount of knowledge required to understand SDGSJ. Bhul chuk maaf

Another piece of evidence which proves that Baba Kanahiya jee took Guru Dheekheya. Quote Bhai Ji (referring to Baba Kanahiya jee) went forward and placed his head at His lotus feet, paying his obeisance. Maharaj Ji's (ninth master) divine vision instantly electrified him, and he felt he had found his beloved. Maharaj Ji initiated Bhai Ji and gave him Gurmantar, and explained him the methods of Naam Simaran and explained Rehat.

Bro, are you looking for a teeka in English or Punjabi? Bhul chuk maaf

Bro, there is no doubt that Rajputs are brave and fought valiantly in the past. There are Sikhs of Rajput descent too, who were famous warriors of the tenth master. One cannot compare a religion (Sikhs) with a race (Rajputs). Btw, not all Sikhs are of peasant background. Bhul chuk maaf

Bro, you are normal. By just having a beard and hair, one does not become abnormal. If you keep thinking that you are abnormal, that it might result in an inferiority complex, which will be a hindrance for you. Remember, half the battle is won in the mind. Are you facing any specific problems, while swimming and diving? You can wear a Patka, instead of a Turban and tie your beard. You can also buy a full body swimming suit. Bhul chuk maaf

Daas won't be surprised, if it is Satkirin (not 100% certain, if it is her or not) . A scholar once told me that some women do engage in secret (Gupt) activities. This is another pertinent reason, Satguru jee recited the bani of Sri Charitropakhain Sahib jee. Once a person understands this Gurbani, it is very hard for that person to become a victim of wily women. Dhan Dhan Dhan Sri Dasam Granth Sahib jee Maharaj. Bhul chuk maaf
