  1. This is NOT true information and has been verified with the Sevadars at the school. They have never allowed any interfaith marriage at the school, and have no such wedding booked for this weekend. If you have any doubt come down and see for yourself. Clearly your WikiLeaks aren't working correctly..
  2. Both methods are parvaan. Doing loudly first and listening to it will increase your concentration, otherwise there is danger of you start doing it with repetation, but because you know it, you won't necessarily listen to it, but just complete it for the sake of doing it in auto-mode. With regards to the granthi, you should have asked him, whats the need for eating food everyday? Once you have eaten it once, you know what it tastes like. In the same way gurbani is the food for our soul. Doing nitnem everyday is required to constantly remind our forgetfull mind of gurus message and feeds the soul. prabh baanee sabadh subhaakhiaa || The Word of God's Bani, and His Shabad, are the best utterances. gaavahu sunahu parrahu nith bhaaee gur poorai thoo raakhiaa || rehaao || So constantly sing them, listen to them, and read them, O Siblings of Destiny, and the Perfect Guru shall save you. ||Pause||

  4. Baba Ji was in Singh Sabha Derby on Sunday. He did katha and veechar Live on Sangat TV from there and was then present in the Q&A session which they have from 4-5.30pm. I suppose people might start saying now that he has gone all "missionary" because he was meeting with AKJ UK reps there.. lol
  5. Then the maryada should be changed to say jhatka is allowed, because at the moment it only says kuttha, which is defined as killing in SGGS which the jot of 10 gurus. Plus other quotes I have shown you also lead one to believe that one shouldn't kill for pleasure of your rasna.. Unless u think SGGS is different from guru Gobind Singh?
  6. How many maryadas did guru Gobind Singh administer? More than one? Where has guru sahib said this? I've shown you where SGGS talks against
  7. Then should Guru gobind singh have had 2 separate amrit snachars? one for the khalsa and one for Nihangs? Bit silly don't you think?
  8. Isn't it the case that evenry sikh should aspire to be a sant-siphai (saint-solider) so why would there be one rule for one and another for someone else? Guru Gobind Singh created the khalsa in order to make one type of sikh. Yes - there are different jathebanids etc, which ultimately shoudn't be the case, but it's absurd to say that one type of sikh can eat meat and another can't. At the end of the day meat is meat whether you jhatka it, halaal it, kuttha it... and IMHO there is no referece to pro-meat in SGGS ji, see my earlier post.
  9. An interesting reply I came across in regards to this issue: ਕੁਠਾ (kut(h)aa) To my knowledge the Akal Takhat Rehat marayada neither mentions the word halal or jhatka. It uses the word Kuttha (ਕੁਠਾ ). Now if we look at how this word is used in the context of Gurbani in Guru Granth Sahib ji: ਇਕੁ ਨਿਰੰਜਨੁ ਰਵਿ ਰਹਿਆ ਭਾਉ ਦੁਯਾ ਕੁਠਾ || (p. 321) eik nira(n)jan rav rehiaa bhaao dhuyaa kut(h)aa|| The One Immaculate Lord is pervading everywhere; He destroys the love of duality. ਤਿਸ ਦਾ ਕੁਠਾ ਹੋਵੈ ਸੇਖੁ || (p.956) this dhaa kut(h)aa hovai saekh || If the Shaykh is killed with that ਕਾਢਿ ਕੁਠਾਰੁ ਪਿਤ ਬਾਤ ਹੰਤਾ ਅਉਖਧੁ ਹਰਿ ਕੋ ਨਾਉ ||੧|| ਰਹਾਉ || (p.714) kaadt kut(h)aar pith baath ha(n)thaa aoukhadhh har ko naao ||1|| rehaao || The Name of the Lord is the medicine; it is like an axe, which destroys the diseases caused by anger and egotism. ||1||Pause|| It is clearly evident from these references the the word Kuttha (ਕੁਠਾ ) is used to describe killing or destroying. It doesn’t make any reference to the method used. Therefore it should be taken that any form of meat is forbidden by sikhs as defined in the Sikh Rehat Marayda. It is up to us if we want to continue twisting the meaning for our means. Other Quotes in Gurbani There are numerous references in the SGGS, in simple daily language for any common man that does not need a Harvard trained professor to explain, which indicate that the preferred diet is vegetarian food for a Sikh. Some of these are as follows : 1. Asankh Gal Vadh Hatianh Kamaih. Japji, p.4 Countless cut-throats and ruthless killers. 2. Baid Pareh Mukh Mithi Bani, Jian Kuhat Na Sanghe Parani. Fifth Guru, p.201 With his mouth, he recites the Vedas in sweet musical measures, and yet he does not hesitate to take the lives of others. 3. Khak Noor Kardang Aalam Dhuniah, Aasman Jimi Darkhat Aab Paydaas Khuday. Bandhe Chasm Didang Fanay, Dhunia Murdar Khurdhani Gaafal Havai. Gaibaan Hehvaan Haram Kustani Moorrdar Bhakoraih. Fifth Guru, p.723 The Lord infused His Light into the dust, and created the world, the universe. The sky, the earth, the trees, and the water - all are the Creation of the Lord. O human being, whatever you can see with your eyes, shall perish. The world eats dead carcasses, living by neglect and greed. Like a goblin, or a beast, they kill and eat the forbidden carcasses of meat. So control your urges, or else you will be seized by the Lord, and thrown into the tortures of hell. Your benefactors, presents, companions, courts, lands and homes - when Azraa-eel, the Messenger of Death seizes you, what good will these be to you then? 4. Jiih Badhuh Soh Dharam Kar Thappoh Adharam Kahoh Kath Bhai, Appaas Ko Munivar Kar Thappoh Ka Koh Kohho Kasaiy. Kabir, p.1103 You kill living beings, and call it a righteous action. Tell me, brother, what would you call an unrighteous action? You call yourself the most excellent sage; then whom would you call a butcher? 5. Rojah Dharre Manaveh Alloh Suadhat Jiih Sangareh. Kabir, p. 483 You keep your fasts to please Allah, while you kill other beings for tasteful pleasure. 6. Joh Sabh Meih Ek Khuday Kahat Ho Toh Kioh Murghi Mareh. Kabir, p.1350 You say that the One Lord is in all, so why do you kill chickens? 7. Kabir Bhang Machli Surra Paan Joh Joh Parani Khain, Thirth Varrat Naim Kiyah Teh Sabhe Rasathel Jainh. Kabir, p.1377 Kabeer, those mortals who consume marijuana, fish and win - no matter what pilgrimages, fasts and rituals they follow, they will all be wasted. 8. Jeh Ratt Lageh Kaperah Jama Hoi Palleet, Joh Ratt Pivanh Mansa Tin Kioh Nirmal Chheet. First Guru, p.140 If one’s clothes are stained with blood, the garment becomes polluted. Those humans who drink the blood—how can their consciousness be pure? 9. Kabir Khuub Khana Khichhri Jah mein Amrit Lone, Herra Rotti karney Ghala Katave Kaun. Kabir, p.1374 Kabeer, the dinner of beans and rice is excellent, if it is flavored with salt, Who would get his throat cut, to have meat with his bread? 10. Brahman Naave, JihaGhay. First Guru, P.662 The Brahmin kills for the purpose of sacrifice and then takes cleansing baths. 11. Bagga Bagge Kapare Thirth Manj Vassan. Ghut Ghut Jihan Khavney Bagge Na Kahihan. First Guru, p. 729. The herons in their white feathers dwell in the sacred shrines of pilgrimage. They tear apart and eat the living beings, and so they are not called white 13. Maha Kasab Shurri Satt Pahi. Karanhaar Prabhu Hirdey Vuutha. Fifth Guru, p.898. The great butcher throws away his knife when the Creator Lord God abides in the heart 14. Hinsa Toh Mann Te Nahi Shutti Jih Dya Nahi Palli. Parmanand, p.1253. Cruelty has not left your mind; you have not cherished kindness for other living beings. 15. Lahore Sehar, Jehar Kehar Savaa Pehar. First Guru, pp. 1412. In city of Lahore, painfully animals are slaughtered early morning.
  10. Just because one committee member says one thing doesn't make it the real reason. It could be his personal opinion.. Some people just need to chill and see the bigger picture..
  11. That's what it was all about.. A picture.. And then wen they were begining to look stupid, they turned it into, it not about the pic, but the principle that the Sangat should be consulted before taking major decisions.. Lol, seriously, if they did that for everything, they would waste a lot of time asking 10,000 members. Plus the reality is that they didn't remove the pic altogether, they displayed it in the library, as they had been told it was a health and safety issue as it was blocking the glass elevator.. Some people just need to find something better to do on a Friday evening, than protest about silly things. Suppose the Sangat sitting there reciting jaap wasn't a a whole waste of time tho.. Anyway, the comittee have now agreed to put it back up in the main foyer, but in different place due to the health and safety issue, but apparently some protestors still aint happy, they want it back in the same place... True warriors..
  12. We are not worshipers of pictures but gurshabad. Plus if they are going to put up th picture somewhere else what does it matter.. Over inflated egos is the problem, nothing else.. 300 people don't make up the whole Sangat.. I can bring 600 people to support the committee, then which is considered as Sangat..?Yes comittee shoul ask Sangat before taking important decisions, but moving a pictures ain't one of them IMO
