Should we ban hides from Dholkees from which Kirtan is played?
Should we ban hides from Tablas from which accompanies shabad?
Should we ban hides from a multitude of other uses including shoes, belts, "gatray" etc?
What make plastic purer than hide? What makes one more acceptable than the other?

Guru Fateh.
Good questions.
Allow me to add a couple more.
How about Chor- the fly whisk- that is used to whisk off imaginary flies or other bugs and then matha teked with every pretentious motion?
Shall we have them made from fake platinum blonde hair?
What kind of hide was used as a water carrier by Bhai Ghanayihah when he quenched the thirst of both- friends and foes?

I think those pics of sants on lion skins were a later invention. The earliest paintings of the Guru's do not show them sitting on lion skins. I have a big collection of Guru Nanak paintings from the Persian period and that is not part of the composition. This, I think, is a 19th Century addition that came with the breakdown of Sikhi traditions during the period of British imperialism. | | The following members appreciate Narayanjot Kaur Ji for the above message. | |

I could go on ad infinitum.
They also hunted animals. They used this as a means of training their warriors and also feeding people. I think you need to read more history. Ours is a culture of Sant Siphahi, not of Vaisno-Brahmisim. A Warrior and Saint tradition that involved hunting, fighting and killing. Our religion is being polluted too much by Vaishno influences being brought in by the Jatt/Tarkhan Sant/Dera/Jatha traditions in Punjab which are distorting Sikhi.
My question is not only related to this notion of purity to do with animal hides, but one in general, regarding this purity notion of food too. Why must an Amridhari only eat from an Amritdhari etc?
We are regressing to Vaishno-Brahmisim. |
