Sangat ji, Yesterday my upper thigh was bleeding and a band aid wouldn't stick on the wound. So, I took a towel paper and used it as a gauze. To hold it down, I took medical tape and taped around my leg to hold the gauze in place. Later on that night, when I went to remove the tape. I lost some hair where the tape was. Would I need to be pesh in front of the 5 pyare or is asking maharaaj for forgiveness through ardaas enough because I didn't see any other option at the time?

You havent committed any sort of offence. Calm down. No need to pesh or to ask for forgiveness.

Peshi is not a joke.

Go when you think you have commited a big mistake or Kurehit.

The fact that what you done was not intentional guru sahib will not be crazy at you. Just chill.

The puratan shaheeds used to get cut by Swords etc. You think the hair didn't get cut when they were getting shaheed?

VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH

Sikh Rehat Maryada:

The under mentioned four transgressions (tabooed practices) must be avoided: 1. Dishonoring the hair; 2. Eating the meat of an animal slaughtered the Muslim way; 3. Cohabiting with a person other than one’s spouse; 4. Using tobacco. In the event of the commission of any of these transgressions, the transgressor must get rebaptised. If a transgression is committed unintentionally and unknowingly, the transgressor shall not be liable to punishment.

However, if your mind is not at ease after reading this, doing Ardaas, reading Gurbani, doing seva etc., then you can go to the Punj Pyare and that should resolve any lingering anguish.

One Jatha in particular is fond of going pesh at the drop of a hat. Sikhi is a logical path, no need to get stuck in dubidha or bharam over small issues. Thinking like this all the time would drive people crazy!!

Sangat ji, thank you very much. It is very comforting hearing it from your fellow sikh brothers and sisters. I was feeling guilty over the last couple of days and due to support from loving sangat maharaj has allowed me to get over the issue. Through this issue I have learned that one can actually give up really fast. But they shouldn't.

Our satguru is sri Guru Granth Sahib, and our guru in front of Guru Granth Sahib is the panj pyare. In order for the panj pyare to be accepted as guru they must follow word for word 'gurmat' given in SGGS. I have looked, but been unable to find any tuk, shabad, salok that requires Sikhs to to do "peshi" in front of the panj pyare after they have taken Amrit. If your panj pyare, who gave you Amrit, require this, they are not following gurmat and therefore, and logically speaking are not panj pyare, because they spread their own mat rather than spreading the guru's mat. Sikhs' lives are being ruined in doubt, bharam, worries and anxieties of things that do not register in gurbani as being any type of misconduct. As long as you follow the Guru Granth Sahibs teachings no one should ever be able to make a fool of you. If you have any question stop using message boards and go directly to the source - Guru Granth Sahib - and ask your question. The question: some hair was taken off of your thigh due to a medical need. Do you need to do peshi? Search the gurbani and you'll find the answer is NO.
