yes sikhi is a continuation of dharam. Unfortunately, many sikhs these days lack dharam, regardless of how "religious" they are!

hmm here's something interesting i found: 'Sofi [Teetotallers] Soom [Misers, i.e. Soom + Sofi means 'coward'] will not be kept in the Khalsa Panth. The Panth has been created for desire of horrendous deeds [war]. Then the Guru [Gobind Singh] said these words: "Make a cauldron of Sukha. I desire an intoxicant, which gives great bliss. Of all intoxicants cannabis is best because even Shiva used it. It helps with certainty to focus the mind on Sat Guru's feet. It calms the worries of the mind. It gives peace to the heart. Make Sukha for destroying suffering. Khalsa consumes it with black pepper. It makes the body hungry and strong [sukha is a powerful protein drink]. It takes away the suffering of all." Then were made great cauldrons of Sukha. Some Singhs drank once while others had second helpings. Then coming near the Guru, focusing their minds on the Guru, they shouted 'Mara Bakara' [Death chant] 'Plunder Delhi and Lahore'. They strike 'nughdas' of cannabis [ball of Sukha residue] at the heads of their enemies. They read verses and nurture the holy name. At mid day they consume Sukha, bathe and be happy. Sitting together they comb their hair. Unravelling their turbans, they bind them on firmly. In a high voice they sing the scriptures. Others listen so as love increases in the heart [for the Guru]. Binding on weapons they get ready. Coming near the Guru they please him. They are beautifully adorned with sword and long hair. They [Akali Nihang Singhs] always desire a battle. When this new tradition [of Khalsa] came into being, seeing this, the Hindus and Muslims were astounded. They [singhs] have good traditions and their conduct is all-good. They have a good dress - they wear breaches. Dressed in weapons and good clothes they look good. For enemies they are a terror but the minds of friends they win over. Jagat jooth [taboo food of the world, i.e. tobacco] they don't go near. Seeing it they greatly curse it. Such was the Khalsa Panth.' ('Siri Gurpartap Suraj Granth', Edited by Bhai Vir Singh, Vol.12, Pa.5066-5067)

I have read about some stories in Charitropakhyan where intoxicnats are used before sex. Also I know people use bhang for meditation, I have read that Shiva Ji used bhang for meditation. Also N3O Singh ji, which intoxicants were offered to Guru Nanak Dev Ji by Mughal (was it Babbar?) , did they include bhang, or was it just wine?

GurFateh, is it ok if I get someone to edit out the adverts and upload it to youtube?

LOL what a joke.

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2660...&topic=5737 This episode will be airing on Discovery Knowledge (Channel 522) on Wednesday 10th September at 6:00pm - repeated on the 11th at 8:00am and also at 1:00pm In this offbeat look at the history and science of different weapons from around the world, Mike explores the cultural context and demonstrates the use of a weapon. He then challenges his co-host, Chad, to improve upon it using modern manufacturing techniques and materials. CHAKRAM: In India I met the Akali Nihangs, a nomadic sect of Sikh warriors, from whom I learned various techniques for throwing the chakram – a razor edged steel battle quoit – both on foot and from horses and elephants! Although it was my first experience with the chakram I managed to throw one 40 yards with no trouble at all. The chakram has an airfoil cross section and you can see it working - it really does fly. And it is surprising how quickly one can become accurate with it at shorter ranges. Nidar Singh, an expert in Indian martial arts, showed me many different techniques for chucking the 'chakkar', as the chakram is more commonly known in the Punjab. The tajini method of spinning it on your index finger is the most well known but there are other methods, such as bowling it underarm as you approach an enemy, throwing it on the move or the more powerful diagonal throws from left to right and right to left. As well as the different types of throw, there are many different types of chakram - from the standard ones around 9 -10 inches in diameter to small bracelet sized ones worn on the forearm and flicked at an enemy's face at close quarters with an action similar to flicking a deck of cards. At the other end of the scale are the large chakrams of two feet diameter, which are worn around the neck. Nidar showed me a technique for dploying these from the second or third ranks behind the front line when engaged in hand to hand fighting - they are thrown almost vertically to descend on the heads of the enemy's front line. I also travelled to Patiala where I met the brothers Harinder and Mobinder Singh who showed me how to make a chakram in a traditional forge. http://www.mikeloades.co.uk/cms/index.php?...6&Itemid=43

The term Guru Ravidass can definetly be used for those who were his followers. The term Guru is not limited to the ten Gurus. Its just, Ravidass isn;t part of the same Guru lineage of gurgaddi as Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Remember, Guru Nanak was also known as pir and so was Guru Gobind Singh. This doesn't mean that only they can be pir and noone else, same goes with Guru.

I like multi-culturalism, but not all sikhs seem too, some don;t like people who follow culture like me

Why not just the jathedar of Buddha Dal? lol

satsriakaal and hello namaste salam these other places don't follow dharma?

I think the problem is we have reduced sikhi to a tribalisitic religion, whilst we could use sikhi to spread dharma, where things like converting to SOMEthing for benefit of spirituality would become unimportant.

I heard Guru Hargobind Sahib ji also had a jester I saw less of " I find jokes at the expense of God, Guru and the Khalsa sickening. " and more of what history truly is, and is hidden by modern sikh organisations, the way of telling it differs between people. Maybe it is more sarcasm than jokes?

wearing tall dumalla made singhs look like giants when enemies were looking from far away.

not any raagmala rejecting sikhi thats for sure hehe

lol hahaha joka
