Nihang Rehat

[caveman]

,

To be a Sikh, one must observe five rahits of wearing five Sikh symbols beginning with 'K': Kachh, Karha, Kirpan, Kangha, and Keski.

(Those Sikhs not believing in keski have wrongfully broken the word Keski in this couplet into two words, Kes and Ki, indicating it to mean "the rahit of keshas.")

Oh please. Have you read the rest of his Rehat Nama? don't want to start a keski debate, but what about all the other Rehat Namas that state Kesh and not Keski? Or Sri Dasam Granth and Sarbloh Granth?

Harvey: Do you have Aarti-Aarta in Gurmukhi?

I do, I think freed paji uploaded them on a topic ill try to find the topiC if i cant i shall post the pictures up from the gutka

AKAAAAAL SAT SRI AKAAAAAAL

[chatanga]

im not sure about this, but i feel that arta is added to arti, to make it masculine. i have heard Nihang Singhs say benti-benta as well. anyone have any ideas on this?

Don't think so - it comes in Bani as well. Bhagat Dhanna says "Gopal Tera Aarta". Other shabads have "Aarti". So they call it Aarti-aarta or most of the time, just Aarti.

[Laadli Fauj]

lol, i really dont think it should matter

there's no official title in bani when for arti, its a compilationf banis, so calling it aarta shouldn't hurt right?

[wjkk wjkf]

Just another thing id like to point out lol. I started translating this Rehat with my mum lol and i coul;dnt find it on the english version on here, but it says that when doing Rehraas you must also do Aarti aswell

Its mentioned in point no. 9

"Shami - Sodar Rehraas --Aarti Aarta parhe ja suney. Saaun samey kirtan sohila da path kar ardas kar bisraam karey"

Aarti is a collection of beautiful shabads and one shud try to sing arti daily.

I dont know much about artaa. May be some nihung veer can tell about arta. I guess it must be contaning Dasam Bani.

This nihang rehit is so good and complete. Why do the nihangs are not considered to be a part of mainstream sikhs ? People have a feeling that Nihangs have created their own maryadas and rehits and are not part of mainstream. What are the points of contradiction between mainstream sikhs and Nihangs (other than shaheedi degh) ?????

By mainstream you mean popular, what is popular isn’t always what is right and what is true. Ultimately it is better to attempt full heartedly genuinely something and fail and understand that awareness in failure is a strength to success. Rather than the pretence, grind and repetition of falsehood practice. Fundamentally the former may utter just one “Vaheguru” and be free from this mentality whilst the latter continues on the rodent wheel of life, amusingly obvious sadly unproductive. Truth is what you want in its most beautiful ugly form.

In order to understand this contention between these two schools of thought we must first understand what constitutes 'mainstream Sikhism' and the fact is that the Akali Nihang Singh Khalsa is the purataan maryada established by Guru Gobind Singh and practised in fullness through the Misal period and Maharaja Ranjit Singh's reign and which continues to flourish unpolluted in the present day in Dal Panth.

This is the original unblemished Khalsa Sikhism. What you have termed mainstream Sikhism has it's genesis in the Neo-Sikh movement which began with the malech-influenced Teja Singh Bhasauria Panch Khalsa Diwan in the late 1800's before being fully established with the SGPC'S inauguration in 1922. Thus it is the SGPC'S British-influenced rehit which has supplanted the original purataan maryada as being 'mainstream Sikhsim' as they sought to create a more modern version of rehit thereby purging whatever elements pained their Victorian/Christian consciences, they were puritans, zealots and revisionists as well as traitors and they have inaugurated their false maryada as the real because Nihangs Singhs have no interest in writing historical monographs and such.

And so quite to the contrary to what you so innocently stated, it is the mainstream Sikhs who have made up their own maryada and the Nihangs who possess the original guru-ordained maryada. Only this fact has escaped the biased revisionist historians of the second and false Singh Sabha.

The souce of the contention you have outlined above stems from the fact that Nihang Singhs do not recognize the authority of the British-nurtured SGPC or their minions and so recognize only the temporal authority of the Panth Jathedar which is a guru-ordained institution.

The bones of contention that many mainstream Sikhs have with the true maryada (sukhnidhan, chatka) are really inconsequential when we consider the fact that Nihang maryada only recognizes these things as traditions proscribed for those interested in practising them, they are guru-ordained traditions that must be respected though nobody is coerced into carrying them out. It is up to the individual Nihang if he wants to practise these things and many do not, indeed there have been many brahmgyani Nihangs who have abstained from these practises even though in the Guru and Misal periods they were commonplace.

Thanks for this post. Does Budha Dal recognize the supremacy of Sri Akal Takht. They got problem with SGPC, but do Nihangs respect the hukamnamas of Sri Akal Takht ???
