BhagatSingh Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 I don't know what to make of this video. I know in Guru Granth Sahib, Kabir ji says not to drink alcohol and not to eat meat. That's the rule I stick to. However Nihangs have different traditions as they do perform jhatka to eat meat, and they also consume bhang. My question is - Are Nihangs allowed to drink alcohol or is it really forbidden? What are the earliest sources of this rehit? Earliest written accounts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chatanga1 Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 There is ONE part in ONE rehtnama that says a Sikh may take "madra" to calm his nerves before battle otherwise it is to be totally avoided. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Xylitol Posted July 18, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 I spoke to a WW2 vet once who told me that he had immense respect for Sikhs b/c they never drank, while all the other soldier would drink a great deal of liqour to calm themselves before battle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
