I forgot to add one thing. Guru Amardas Jee established twenty two Manjees for Parchar. Among them, Bibian used to do Parchar on behalf of Guru Amardas Jee.by Mohkam Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
I'm sorry Bhai Sahib, I will be going a little bit off topic. Over a period of time, I have realised that if we explain Gurmat Asools to Manmukhs in 'their' terminology, it results in disastrous understanding. As we can see, the words 'equality', 'tolerance', etc. have been so overused in Sikhi that people think it is perfectly okay for a Sharaabi clean shaven person to have an Anand Karajby Mohkam Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Doing Kirtan using a Pothi Sahib itself is not recommended. This is a different topic altogether, which has been discussed several times over and over. Soojhvaan Gursikhs have always upheld the Maryada of doing Kanthagar Kirtan (Kirtan from memory). At Darbar Sahib, Kirtan is being done this way ever since the time of Sri Guru Ram Das Jee. So using mobile phone, iPad, tablet, laptop, etc. is oby Mohkam Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Waheguru Jee Ka Khalsa Waheguru Jee Kee Fateh! Extremely happy that you are back. A big tight (cyber) naam hug from daas!by Mohkam Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
The following is this Daas' personal observation. Some Gursikhs may not agree with it. It is not directed towards anyone in particular. At AKJ Samagams, Gursikhs try their utmost to maintain Maryada in Kirtan Seva, Langar Seva etc. i.e., allowing only those Gursikhs to do Seva who are in good standing as far as their Jeevan and Rehat is concerned. The same Gursikhs, when holding Samagams at tby Mohkam Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Hanjee. Only Panj Kakaar Dhaaranee Gursikhs are allowed to do kirtan at AKJ Samagams. The above video is not of an AKJ Samagam.by Mohkam Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
What this Daas understands is that 'Alap Ahaar' and 'Thoda Khana' is subject to one's lifestyle. If one works as a labourer, it is obvious that he will be eating 20 parshadaas a day! Whereas if one's work requires sitting all day on a computer, his eating requirements will be considerably less. It is just that one should eat as required, otherwise : ਫਿਟੁ ਇਟੇਹਾ ਜੀਵby Mohkam Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Quotethats the modern way thinking of neo sikhism about bhamanwad, there is no such thing as bhamanwad In 'Gurbani Rehatnama', Jathedar Bhai Ram Singh Ji has quoted Gurbani panktis to justify the fact that certain parts of rehatnamas are doctored, which are not in line with Gurmat. The same way he has justified Rehats which are in line with Gurmat. If Gurmat Vichardhara (obviously based on Guby Mohkam Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Let us not deviate from the topic. sherrsinghaz ji, All Sikh scholars agree that almost all rehatnamas (with the exception of Bhai Nand Lal Jee's rehatnama) are doctored with Brahmanvaad practices. In the 1980s, Jathedaar Bhai Ram Singh Ji had written 'Gurbani Rehatnama', towards the end of which, he discusses those parts which are not in accordance with Gurmat Vichardhara.

QuotePyaarae Veerjee, could you please explain the difference between Sikhi's ideas of equality of genders and the Western concept of Feminism, Jee? It would be very interesting to find out! smiling smiley Some discussion has already been done on this topic.

QuoteIt is evident throughout history that there have been many feminists and there was not a single human who started the feminist ideals. Even our Guroo Saahibaan are considered feminists as they vigorously supported women's rights. That's all there is to it. Advocating for women's rights on the basis that both men and women are equal. I do not understand what is so hard to grasp about that conby Mohkam Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Quotethere is no place in puratan rehatnama's where its mentioned a bibi should tie dastar , let alone she could take amrit . even sant jarnail singh ji believes in women should not be in panj pyaare . also singhni or sikhni or kaur was never used in literature pre Singh Sabha Movement the word used was "khastrani" the term feminism is flawed in it self the literature of feminism , of thby Mohkam Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Quoteabsurd, its upto bibiji, to tie dumala /scarf or a chunni . no such restriction that she must tie dummala only This reply, itself, is totally absurd! A pankti from Bhai Nand Lal Jee's Rehatnama has already been quoted above. Moreover, Guru Sahib has given Keski as a Kakaar to the Khalsa. Are you trying to challenge Guru Gobind Singh Ji's hukam!?by Mohkam Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
As far as using vinegar is concerned, Gursikhs who keep Bibek do not use it. If the question is being asked about 'spirit vinegar' being used in some bazaar/factory made food item, then the food item itself is not okay to consume as it is not made by Gursikhs.by Mohkam Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Bhai Nand Lal Jee's Rehatnama specifically says : Kangha Dono Waqt Kar, Paag Chunai Kar Bandhaee || In light of the above Rehat, it is compulsory for all Gursikhs (Singhs and Bibis) to tie a dastar. The question should rather be, "Being a Gursikh Bibi, why don't you tie a dumalla?"by Mohkam Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

QuoteBecause in modern clocks, date changes at midnight (12:00 am) which means first Pehar should be of 12 to 3 for any given date. I beg to differ from Bhai Sahib Jasjit Singh Ji about when the first pehar starts. Before the advent of the modern 24 hour clock, sunrise was considered to be the start of the day, i.e., 6 AM (theoretically). Actual time varies with season. Therefore, 6 AM - 9 AM iby Mohkam Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
