I'm having a very weird case of Deja Vu. Sitting in langar hall and then Google looking for the same painting and this thread was first thing I found with my google search lol. Has been almost 3 years on dot and still haven't found it.

Anyone? The Singh is resting under a tree and appears to be listening to classical music.

Does anyone know which painting I'm talking about? I've been trying to find it for some reason. Would appreciate if anyone could post it here.

No, I don't know which painting you are referring to. Besides, how do you know he was listening to classical music? Did the painting have a date and signature of the artist at the bottom? Can you describe the style, ambience, colours, mood, light, movement and general impression of this famous work of art a bit more? Was this painting trying to communicate a message of some kind to its viewers? What kind of feelings, if any, did the painting evoke within you? Was the Nihang Singh old, young, slim or fat? Did he look mysterious or enigmatic in any way? Did he appear charismatic in his countenance? Was it a very leafy, tall, fruit-bearing tree or was it just an ordinary tree? Did the tree look august in its appearance, as though it had been standing there for years and years? Was he sitting with a radio next to him with headphones on which made you think he was listening to classical music? Can you remember the make of the radio and the headphones so we can ascertain the exact date of this famous work? Let's assume for one minute that he was in fact listening to classical music, then the question arises, who was he listening to? Was he listening to Bach, Chopin, Vivaldi or just Mozart? Did the painting give you any hint as to the time of the day or not? Was this Nihang Singh sitting alone, did he have company or was he surrounded by many people but all strangers? Did he have a far away look in his eyes, as though he is day-dreaming? Were you able to see any birds' nests anywhere on the branches of this tree? If so,, what kind of birds were flying around, can you remember? Does the painting depict clear blue sky, sky with rainbow, sky with small grey clouds or just plain boring sky painted in one brush stroke with the sun missing altogether? I am totally puzzled as to which painting you are referring to? I wonder if it really exists?

    • 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.
