How can they even think that if our Guru started a tradition , it can be questioned or challenged?

I think there is a danger we are losing sight of the deeper significance of marriage and focusing instead on mere cultural issues, i.e. who stands where.

What you term 'tradition' was, some might argue, the cultural norm in Hindu society and still is so again, I do think its a mistake to be too hung on the pheripheral issue when what really matters is the union with god.

So while it is true that our current Sikh marriage ceremony is carrying on with Hindu vedic practices am I also right in thinking that our current ceremony is actually something that was started and popularised by the enemy Nirankari movement and subsequently adopted by the Singh Sabha movement ?

People these days wanna experiment their own ideas into the Gurmat traditions and teachings and when someone raises an issue on that , they will say that this is their life and they can do whatever they want.

In 1579 Guru Arjan Dev ji maharaj had the honour to start his grehsti life with Anand Karaj maryada with Mata Ganga ji. Guru Arjan Dev ji led the laavan and Mata ji followed him. Then later on our other Gurus and great Sikhs of history followed the same traditions as well.

But these days, people are more intellectual. They talk about male female equality. They forget that Guru Nanak dev ji was the first Sikh to raise his voice against women inequality. How can they even think that if our Guru started a tradition , it can be questioned or challenged?

May Guru Sahib forgive us for our such acts and bless with the wisdom to accept His thoughts.

Absolutely correct. Problem with people today is they think they know more than Guru Jee. Guru Jee gave us a Maryadha to implement in our daily lives, yet some so called intellectual people think this Guru given system is imperfect, so they use their own manmat to "improve" it. And sadly they do it all for Vakhava not for some spiritual gain, because nothing spiritual can be gained from manmat.

And these two were completely ignorant. I don't even blame them as much as the Granthi of the Gurdwara whose advice they sought before embarking on this path of Manmat. That Granthi knows Maryada, yet for some reason only known to him he misguided these two and their families.

I already gave you an answer on this topic. Did you miss it on the second page of this thread? What part of the SIkh marriage ceremony is taken from the Hindu vedic practices? This is total rubbish.

    • 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.
