Ang 718 Line 13 Raag Todee: Bhagat Namdev

ਕਉਨ ਕੋ ਕਲੰਕੁ ਰਹਿਓ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮੁ ਲੇਤ ਹੀ ॥

Koun Ko Kalank Rehiou Raam Naam Laeth Hee ||

कउन को कलंकु रहिओ राम नामु लेत ही ॥

Whose blemishes remain, when one chants the Lord's Name?

ਪਤਿਤ ਪਵਿਤ ਭਏ ਰਾਮੁ ਕਹਤ ਹੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Pathith Pavith Bheae Raam Kehath Hee ||1|| Rehaao ||

पतित पवित भए रामु कहत ही ॥१॥ रहाउ ॥

Sinners become pure, chanting the Lord's Name. ||1||Pause||

VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH

Taksal Maryada prescribes some (if you take your Kirpan off and such), so some may be doing so through those guidelines.

Others are taking what elders have done previously and continuing them.

Others do what they must to get over the guilt of what they have done.

Others, when they are unable to reconcile with the guilt, go to the Punj Pyare (even though the action did not warrant it) and have their guilt resolved by Guru Sahib.

Ultimately, unless it was given to you as a Rehat, you are doing what you need to do to get closure. Sant Jarnail Singh is documented as doing an entire Sehaj Paath because a Gutka Sahib fell at his feet while he was asleep (not his fault, but who knows how Guru Sahib's play works). Sant Gurbachan Singh insisted that the Punj Pyare assemble and give him a tankah when he was separated from his Kirpan for a mere instance while showering (which he was - think 5 Japji Sahib Paaths).

It is love for the Guru and a form of apology. Not everyone apologizes the same and unless prescribed, it is what the individual is able to do to apologize. Simple Ardaas, extra Bani, seva, Simran - Gursikhs will engage in this with extra effort to make their Husban Lord forgive them.

    • 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.
