No one's raging, I  just called you out on your nonsense. You've not even bothered learning Gurmukhi but you seem to take it on yourself to lecture others about it. You accused others to taking things out of contexts but you've never even bothered reading the context. You harp on about Nindaks but you're in the same boat being a huge hypocrite. Feel free to lecture others about free thinking after you have the tools to do it, A child isn't going to lecture a professor on the differential calculus without having actually mastered the concepts himself (no this isn't an analogy for you and I, its an example). Free thinking my <banned word filter activated>, by that absurd logic even non-sikhs with no Gurbani knowledge can "free think" about Sikhi and start who knows bastardising concepts. 

Maybe learn the texts before coming on here to lecture others about what's right and what's wrong.

As usual rather than address the fundamental contradiction the poster made and how the position is antithetical to sikhi in the most obvious ways you would rather just attack me.

Not attacking you Sukh, but it does seem monumentally crazy that you haven't tried to seriously interact with Gurmukhi texts including historical ones. When you do, you'll probably find that a lot of concepts that you thought were Sikh, actually aren't. And that a lot of our puratan ancestors didn't exactly act like you might think they would according to your current thinking. 

Until you do, people will say stuff like the above to you (and not without justification). 

You're at an advantage if you come from a Panjabi background in that the syntax and even some of the vocabulary won't be a million miles from what you already know. A lot of it will involve simply swapping modern Panjabi lexicon with their older forms.

I did address your points but the fact that you've yet to engage properly with the very core of Sikhi and then have the audacity to come here and lecture others just shows you as a person are ignorant and/or arrogant to what you think you know.

This is the Sheikh Farid thread all over again, you asked for proof, got it and then went off to throw a fit over the fact you were wrong, @dallysingh101 has put it in better words than I. Maybe study the texts before trying to even comment on Sikh Philosophy.

You did not address any of the issues.. You made no comment on the actual topic. 

What is your opinion that Sikhs should not attend or visit other places of worship or reverence.

How does this proposition remotely reflect the alignment to Sikh principles? 

So please provide me with a learned response drawing upon your studies of Sikh philosophy

I have studied Sikh philosophy for over 30 years and in particular the mool mantar for over 25 years.. 

I have a opinion and I am open to someone providing me with a academic intelligent response to challenge it and provide me with a reason to modify it 

I provided a explanation of my own reasoning behind my position so people should challenge the logic

Visiting Religious sites is fine, but going there and bashing your head against the stones and proclaiming the certain deity of that temple is lord is really contrary to Gurmat.

If you read what I wrote I answered why this proposition reflects Sikhi, further more I even referred to an entire bani speaking about worshipping Devtas. Now if you had bothered to read that you'd have noticed that, rather than screaming that about "not actually commenting on the topic" . In fact I did it in layman's terms with the minimal amount of my own words while utilising Gurbani.

Dude you made a start which is the most important thing. Now go dig little bit deeper. See where it takes you. Don't make this about other people's opinions by all means, but put in the work yourself and get better informed. These are serious times we live in, there is falseness all around, do yourself a big favour, and don't fall to misapprehensions due to lack of effort. Because these days when a brother or sister falls in one way or another, it hurts the panth deeply. 

Go deeper in your journey. That's advice for all of us I guess, not least myself. 

Guys, lately although I've kept up my simran (but reduced the time), I've gone slack as crap on reading nitnem bani and haven't done it in ages.

Yes but the original post referred to going to mandir full stop.. I challenged that idea.. You attacked me on something I did not speak about.. 

I agree that doing murti puja.. 

So actually it seems like we agree..

OP is clearly referring to sikhs who WORSHIP there. I also challenged the the fact that you claimed OP was taking quotes out of context. Which he was not.

without learning Gurmukhi? That's not studying, that's toe dipping. If you want the truth behind anything go to the source. You need to start fresh my friend.

    • 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.
