I was reading the Sikh Rehat Maryada and the defination of a Sikh is:

The Definition of Sikh

Article I

Any human being who faithfully believes in

(i) One Immortal Being,

(ii) Ten Nanaks, from Guru Nanak Dev to Guru Gobind Singh,

(iii) The Satigur,

(iv) The utterances and teachings of the ten Nanaks and

(v) the Baptism bequeathed by the tenth Nanak, and who does not owe allegiance to any other faith, is a Sikh.

The fifth point is a Sikh must take the baptism Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji started and now from the punj parias

would that exclude alot of Udasi Nirmala and Sewapanthi Sadhus who say they are Sikh but don't take Amrit.

I don't understand how a Udasi or Nirmala sikh can claim to be a Sikh if he doesn't follow the Hukam of Guru Gobind Sahib by not taking amrit.

I know that alot of Sadhus in puratan times didn't take Amrit, but are they not going against Guru Gobind Sahib Ji's Order.

well they aren't helping Sikhi and they are turning us back to hinduism and many Udasi deras have idols of hindu gods and there teaching is more connected with hinduism then sikhi and udasi consider Guru Granth Sahib as the fifth Veda.

Also when Namdhari and Radaswami consider themselves to be sikh you agree.

Guru Sahib kicked there sons and other sects during there time out of the panth for going against there order.

Please answer this question:

So how can these sikhs consider themselves as sikh yet they don't get baptism and its the Hukam Of the 10th Guru.

do we know how many sects and subsects Do Christians , Muslims or buddists have ?

even jainis( a very smaall faith numberwise ) have not less than 50 subsects .

many amongst themselves ( within their faith) do not see eye to eye)

but nothing stops them from being muslims , jaini or christian . then why bother anyone

if he is convinced his belief is the correct one ? lets us follow the right path shown to us

by the great gurus

thanks WJKK WJKF

bro, read sikh history, and you will see.

Your post just gloats of ignorance.

Udasi, Nihangs,Nirmalas and Sewa-Panthis have been and will be part of Sikh Panth forever.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
