It is not about being super strict.Just take the case of meat.There is no evidence in Sikhism That it was vegetarian Religion .Yet from past 100 years it is moving crazily towards vegetarianism.So people are even imposing new restrictions in the name of sikhism |

| | | | | Re: I thought Amritdari's could not marry out of Sikhi? Nowhere in the SRM that I can find is marriage betwen a nonSikh and any sort of Sikh forbidden.. It is forbidden by the Gurmat Reht Maryada, followed, I believe by Damdami Taksal. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/love-and-marriage/31698-i-thought-amritdaris-could-not-marry.html
It certainly is not a very good idea for Sikhs and nonSikhjs to marry, imo and it is very difficult to keep the Khalsa vows if married to someone who is not Amritdhari. I believe it would be necessary to forgo physical marital relations, at least that is my understanding. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=31698
In the SRM definition of a Sikh, it does state that a Sikh cannot owe allegiance to any other religion.
This is my understanding. There is argument and disagreement. | | The following member appreciates Mai Harinder Kaur Ji for the above message. | |

Reached the place of Banda bairagi he ordered to slaughter his goats and asked to distribuite/eat meat of them to sikhs.So again there is no clear evidence here
Also Sikhs were Guerrilla fighters in 18th century and were well known for hunting as Guerrilla warriors need to hunt and kill

If in extreme conditions you need to eat meat then you go and kill it jatka style, but otherwise you can sustain your self on vegetables..... ? |
