Swans are revered in many religions and cultures, especially Hinduism. The Sanskrit word for swan is hamsa or hansa , and it is the vehicle of many deities like the goddess Saraswati. It is mentioned several times in the Vedic literature, and persons who have attained great spiritual capabilities are sometimes called Paramahamsa ("Great Swan") onby Tarun Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

this only partly answers my question - what is the sajha for committing a bujjer kurehit in dreams?by Tarun Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
I understand that Guru Gobind Singh Ji says that one ought not to even dream of a woman other than his wife in a dream, but what about other kurehits/dhils? If you have a dream in which you consumed maas, alcohol etc. is that to be considered equivalent of a bujjer kurehit? Does one need to take amrit again? or is this perhaps karmic debt getting paid at a lower price?by Tarun Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
1kaur ji, even the authenticity of the 52 hukamnamey has been questioned by many scholars also you mention the rehatnameys banning maas from turks - it is important to note that only turks were allowed to produce maas in mughal india, hindus were banned from doing so, so by saying to not eat maas from turks bans all maas at the time - we know for a fact that Guru Amardaas Ji was vegetarianby Tarun Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

ਤੂ ਦਾਤਾ ਦਾਤਾਰੁ ਤੇਰਾ ਦਿਤਾ ਖਾਵਣਾ ॥ i think this can refer to all foods in general including food, air, water etc.by Tarun Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
The argument i was making was that this type of reasoning (i.e. similar to Pascal's wager) is dangerous. Here's an example: Say i find a hukamnama whose authenticity is probably fake and its says people who eat mangos are condemned to hell, now no one knows for sure that this is really authentic or not, only Guru Sahib knows, but if there's a non-zero chance that i'll be condemned to hell (whiby Tarun Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Sorry I must've gotten my rehatnamey mixed up - explains why I couldn't find it in Bhai Desa Singh Ji's rehatnama either which is linked belowby Tarun Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
i think it can be found on the Sikhi to the Max website, will look for more concrete sources and let you know Bhai Sahib, although your views about the severity of the consequences of the line are well taken I don't personally think that the line of reasoning that is "it is safer to do X, so we should" is correct - I think this way the person always does things out of fear and not out of loveby Tarun Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
i think the right hand just symbolizes the dominant hand, thats why phrases like "right hand man" exist so if we give up even our dominant hand while making Guru Sahib the center we would hopefully give up our egoby Tarun Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
