Why Women are not given the Seva of the Punj Piare?


When Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji asked for a head from the Sangat, he did not state whether he wanted a Mans head or a woman's head. 5 men sacrificed their heads, and became known as Singhs. They were called the Punj Piare (the 5 beloved ones); they were given the duty of giving Amrit to the sangat. Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji himself took Amrit from 5 Singhs. The form of the 5 beloved ones is Singhs. Because no women stood up, no Kaur was given a place in the 5 beloved ones. Therefore the gift of giving Amrit was given to Singhs, this is not discrimination. If a women stood up, off course she would have been given a place in the 5 beloved ones, but a women never. This topic is that simple. This cannot be changed; there is no point in debating this topic.
