Why do most Sikhs that eat meat not eat beef?

Thanks for writing all this out on Uggardanti.

Any fair reading of Uggardanti (taking into all the lines, not just the "... dharam Hindu ..." line) will reveal a mindset antagonistic towards both "Hindu" and Islamic paths, seeing Khalsa as the highest path.

Yeah, Guru Ji invokes Bhagauti/Shakti as being the one residing over the Panth.

This forum does not allow meat eating nor encourage meat favoring or supporting in any form. Topic will get closed if replies continue  on meat diet.

can the forum become more panthic and encourage less pro-jathebandi views?

Please show more respect for rehit. Also Akal Takht maryada does not have an anti-meat stance, can this forum not comply with Akal Takht maryada?

Since the forum is called "SIKHSANGAT", why not respect the views of sangat? Sangat represents Guru, not just individuals.

it is really important for us to control hunkaar and not fall into haumai trishna as sikhs.

The Sikhs during the 1700s were not politically correct like today's Sikhs who say all religions are equal. They knew that Khalsa Dharm was far superior to the other two traditions. That also reflects their geo political worldview. They never compromised by being lumped under the Islamic empires of the Mughals or later the Afghans and neither did they want to be in a subordinate position under the large Maratha empire. Instead they struggled to create their own Raaj independent of the Hindus and Muslims.

‘The chief work of the Seva Panthis is this: to serve the living spirit and not to worship stones, to provide food for all beings in free, the the communal kitchen as service, and to make havens for cows, cattle etc. To do all such religious deeds.’ 
(Baba Karm Das, transcript of recording, 06-03-2001)

Yeah, I think the entire reason that the Sikhs of that old times (even of new) suffered all the pains that they did is exactly because they did consider Sikhism to be superior to other paths. If, as some of our weak brothers say, the other paths are exactly the same, and you get exactly  the same results by following them, then why in the world would you bother to be a Sikh, and be flayed alive, impaled, beheaded, boiled, burned, or otherwise tortured and killed. And even if that didn't happen to you, if things remained peaceful, you have to follow rehit and do amrit vela. 

If all paths are exactly  equal, then why not just sleep in?

But we don't follow the what the Sikhs of the 1700s did.. We follow sggs.. 

And also the sikh panth has always been very diverse and pluralistic.. I don't understand why you need to homogenise? 

There were Muslims in guru sahibs court who whilst not khalsa were still sikh?

I believe bani in sggs ji addresses why Sikhs don't believe to be superior as such

    • 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.
