Disrespect of Gurbani By Sikhs In leicester

Leicester town has Ik-onkar signs all over the road for vaisakhi celebrations.

Types of Disrespect that can happen due to this action:

We would not leave a Gutka Sahib out side in the rain to get wet, so why do we allow the Ik-onkar outside where it is wet and cold, is there any difference between Ik-onkaar and other Banis.

A Bird can shit on the sign, how humiliating is that?

When people that smoke walk past the smoke is going over the sign. Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s Horse didn’t even go to a tobacco field.

Anti Sikh People can vandalise the Sign, therefore break an Ang of Guru Ji. Have we forgotten the Sakhi on how the Taksal was started? Damdami Taksal the university of Sikhi was started when a Singh used to read bani wrong accidentally, once Guru Gobind Singh Ji heard it and said to him when you are changing the meaning by mistake you are hurting my limbs.

Basic code of Conduct

Fundamental Rehat Maryada - Mandatory Sikh code of conduct!

During the Amrit ceremony the 5 beloved ones in brief explain the mandatory code of conduct:

They tell you the Gurmantar is WAHEGURU- This is to be repeated in meditation (simran). The gurmantar purifies the soul and mind and helps ones soul join back with the supreme soul. The recitation of the gurmantar burns sins and gets rid of ego.

They tell you the Mool Mantar:

Ek-o-unkar: There is only one god- the creator of everything.

Sat Naam: Gods Name is true (everything else is false and tempory)

Karta Purakh: the doer of all that is manifest

Nir Bhau: god is without fear

Nir Vair: God is without hate

Akal Moorat: God is timeless and without form

Ajuni: God is beyond birth and death

Saibhann: god is self existent

Gur pasaad: God is realized by the true guru’s grace

Jap: Meditate on gods name

Aad sach: God was true in the timeless beginning

Jugaad sach: true when ages began

Hai bhi sach: true now

Nanak hosi bhi sach: Nanak says god will evermore be true

They tell you the mandatory daily prayers which are know as NITNEM:

At Amrit vela (early morning before sunrise) the Panj Baneeya are to be recited (these are the same prayers recited when preparing Amrit), jap ji sahib, jaap sahib, tavparsad svaye, choupai sahib and anand sahib.

In the evening at approx 5.30pm (sunset), Rehras Sahib is to be recited and ardass is to be done standing up.

Before going to Sleep, Kirtan sohila is to be recited.

They explain the cardinal sins to you, if a member of the khalsa commits any of these they need to get re-baptized to seek Guru Ji’s blessings.

The usage of drugs for intoxication: the Guru’s encouraged healthy activity and a healthy lifestyle which keeps the body in good condition. Drugs make one lose their sense and weakens the body and creates mental diseases. However Sikhs are allowed to take narcotics for medicational purposes.

The eating of meat, this includes all flesh, like fish eggs and any animal fats. Guru Har rai ji opened up hospitals for injured animals. Murdering of gods creatures, cruelty towards animals and other humans is forbidden in Sikhism. All creatures have a natural instinct to remain alive; killing of animas for food is a barbaric crime and against gods will.

Adultery: A Sikh is not allowed to have sexual relations out of marriage. A Sikh must have morals and commit in a marriage ceremony in front of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji before having a sexual relation with anyone. Marriage is a moralful and respectfulway of showing dignity.

Unshorn hair: A Sikh believes that the lord is a perfect creator and created hair for a purpose, so for a Sikh cutting their hair is devil like.

Before Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji left earth, he explained to the Sikhs just as the light of Guru Nanak dev Ji was passed on to the next Guru like a candle lighting another candle, in the same way he passed on the light to Sri Guru Granth sahib Ji who is our eternal Guru. He also recited the following Dohra (verse):

“Agya bhai akal ki tabhi chalayo panth

Sab Sikhan ko hukam hai Guru manyo granth

Guru granth ji manyo pragat guran ki deh

Jo prabh ko millbo chahe khoj shabad meylay

Raj karaga khalsa aqi rahei na koe

Khwar hoe sabh mélange bache saran jo hoeey”

Translation:

“Under the orders of the immortal being, the Panth was created

All Sikhs are to accept the Granth as their Guru

Consider the Guru Granth as the embodiment of the Gurus

Those whom want to meet god can find god through the Guru’s hymns

The khalsa shall rule, and its opponents shall be no more

Those separated shall reunite only the devotees shall be saved.”

There are a lot of fake Gurus who claim to be the Guru of the Sikhs, but a true khalsa believes and bows only to Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.
