So I woke up today at 2 am and went to get some juice. When I went to go get the juice, I swallowed some meat that I had stuck in my teeth or something. It was really tiny. So should I go to the gurdwara?

I will first and foremost suggest brush and floss regularly.

If you are going to go to the Gurdwara follow simple level of cleanliness like going to school, meeting your girlfriend, etc.

Sat Sri Akal.

Sat Shri Akal Ji
See Gurjit Ji first of all being a Sadhak you should not consume it as satwik food is very excellent for Dhyan .If you are going to Gurudwara you should definately wash your mouth properly . Because meat has so unpleasent smell which only vegeterian can feel . So by your smell other persons mind may deviate which is very very bad no need to say . Considering Guru Ji to be symbol of Guru Granth Sahib Ji he will also not like it . So avoid and go clean in terms of alcohol and non veg atleast .

Your body is made up of meat. What will you do with that?

It makes no difference whatso ever. It's all about how you feel about it.

There are no rules about eating meat and going to the Gurudwara. It will not make you less spiritual.

Please can we stop such whem.

It makes no difference what you eat before you go Gurudwara.

There is no smell from meat.

I would agree that people should not consume alcohol before going Gurudwara, as you will have difficulty in understand what is being said.

Re: Can I Go to the Gurdwara after Eating a Tiny Bit of Meat?

there is a reason for not eating meat before going to the gurdwara and it is as much spiritual as it is scientific. Meat take a lot of time and energy to digest. As such if you have a stomach full of meat before going to the gurudwara you will feel lethargic/ lazy and tired when sitting and trying to meditate or concentrate. So you should only avoid meat before you go to the gurudwara or pray at home if you have the intention to concentrate and meditate.

For some people not eating meat impedes their attention as they suffer from anaemia or B12 deficiency which stops them functioning normally. We are all different so what works for some will not for others. Everyone has to find what works for them

Re: Can I Go to the Gurdwara after Eating a Tiny Bit of Meat?

When Guru nanka ji went on and on in such a LONG shabad about..we are born of meat - word used is Clear and unequivocal MAAS - we are made of meat..we marry meat, and when that meat dies we marry another meat, we have a tongue of MEAT ...(...and that same tongue is used to recite Naam !!!)...means Guru Ji is all for getting OUT of the RUT we all were placed in by the previous religious authirites....so lets follwo Gurbani and Guru Ji and get out of the RUT. Leave this issue BEHIND US where it really belongs..NOT at the forefront of our daily lives.

The last time I was on a Tapoban Forum somebody was very disturbed when during a typical AKJ Kirtan session, in the darbar sahib he accidentally swallowed a mosquito...and THAT tiny piece of "meat" cuased this person no end of distress..all the pleasure of the kirtan disappeared and he had to return home..and was contemplating PESH before the PANJ. So YES as Findingmyway has said ...we are all different...lets all be individuals and find our own way.

Anyone who knows me will know I am not a Christian! But seeing it is Easter, I thought I would answer the question with a quote from their Scripture! This is an edited version from Matthew 15:1-18:

"Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said, "Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat."
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=35220

Jesus replies:

"And he called the people to him and said to them, "Hear and understand: it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person." Then the disciples came and said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?" He answered, "Are you also still without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is expelled? But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person."
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=35220

So, just a long-winded way of saying what Randip Ji has posted already!
