To my knowledge of Sikhism, Hindu and Jain prasad is just as forbidden as halal and kosher meat, however, many Sikhs fail to assert this when talking about forbidden foods in Sikhism. Why is this?

Ek Oankar Wahiguru Ji Ki Fateh
Brother Carmel!
It is in holy Bible that offering made to idols eaten by beliver are sins.
But in Islam and Sikhism both utilising 'the plunder' of idolators wealth is OK.
In Sikhs this may not be done by force but by logic.
Das gives you an example,'In Delhi,we carry out Nagar Kirtan(Procession on streets).Often Hindus offer us offering or Prasad made to idols(as per there ritual without offering food before to gods and using it for human is a sin). Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=1150
We do not belive in the existance of divinity in Idols.Even if eat it,it is not a sin.Had idol real then its leftover eaten by us be sin. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=1150
Yet we do a good thing.Before eating Prasad given by Hindus,We do Ardas(Prayer) to our Lord,God of gods Akal,The eternal,Then we touch the food by Hand(pan) of Mercy(Kripa) of God.This is called Kirpan(ie Sword like is the symbol of it hand of power's ultimate source ie God) Bheta(meeting or touching).
Our God does not 'eat' food but 'tuouches' it via Kirpan. It is mere symbol of our gettting donation/Prasad from God.Who are we to offer anything to the one who gives us all.
In Old Testment something similar is written,Maybe in Palslms or By David ,Das is sorry as he does not rember it exactly where it is in Holy Bible.  |

Gurfateh Ji,
Dear Brother, Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=1150
Das has got your point.
Thats was das trying to convey. To offer offering to an idol as per Sikhism is not good.But even if some athiest turns beliver(even in idol) Sikh must welcome it.As per Christian holy men,Pagenism is a step towrads faith(The summit in USA in which Vevekananda went was orgainised by Christians with this thing in mind).
So to belive in idol for Sikhism is better then not at all beliving.
So if some one gives a Prasad offered to an idol to a Sikh.If Sikh eats it,He/She still remains a Sikh. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=1150
Sikhism is too storng to be Broken ,at least for an idol,Sikhs are sons and doughter of idol braker Guru Gobind Singh. |
