Donating Blood

I wanted to get the sangat's opinion on Blood Donation. I have been actively donating blood for the past 3 years, so that it can be used in hospitals etc. I go every 6 months at various clinics, and donate blood. The nurses say I have very healthy blood and urge me to come out every time. Please guide me, and help me understand if there is anything wrong or anti-gurmat with what I am doing. Out of the countless bad karams I do, I find this, one small way to redeem myself. But I won't do it at the sake of violating gurmat. Please do not turn this into a debate. The whole needle/sucham issue is what I would like to clear up. If more information is needed, please ask.

Have a good day.

first of all, I suggest to you to choose a better username because this could be the main reason why no one is replying to you. its ok if u want to hide behind a fake I.d., but a one that sounds ridiculously terrible such as urs shud not b used becuz no one will take u seriously.

secondly, there's nothing wrong with donating the blood. it's just all based on personal choice. I personally wouldn't because I don't like needles becuz it hurts like no tomorrow! im scared of needles

really funny name lol

veer ji, this is common for many Gursikhs.

In West Yorkshire, the NHS bring a blood donation bus to local gurdwaras and most of the sangat donate blood.

In addition, many Gursikhs are registered on the organ donation register.

When the soul leaves the body, the body is just a vessel. If it is of value to any other human being, then that is seva.

I'm sorry I chose such a ridiculous name. I couldn't think of anything better. I will not post again using this account. However, thank you for answering my question.
