[QUOTE="Randip Singh, post: 200033, member: 1323"] Ok lets say for one minute that we are going to talk about meat/vegetarianism, I was convinced many years ago that vegetarianism was the way. Then I discovered that lacto-vegetarianism (what a lot of Sikhs practice) was hypocritical. So I tried veganism. That made me incredibly ill. So much so I got anaemic and found it function on a day to day. ...but I knew lacto-vegetarianism was hypocritical (vis a vis eggs). I therefore started to research Sikh History. I knew our Guru's were intellectuals first and used logic and reason in their arguments. I discovered the following. 1) Guru Nanak definitely encountered and ate meat. 2) Meat was part of langaar up until the second Guru , but it was removed because of objections by Vaishnavs ad lanaagr should be open to all. Plus Muslims wanted meat prepared with their rights. Hidu's would not eat the meat of the mlecchaa or kuttha. 3) Bhai Gurdas (who kept excellent records of the Guru's activities) described the Guru's as avid hunters (Particularly HarGobind) and eating meat. 4) Hukamanama's supposedly written by Guru HarGobind condeming meat turning out to be false and contracdiciting Guru Gobind Singh's verified Hukamanama advising Sikh's to stay away from Kuttha. 5) The ONLY time we have a disagreement over diet amongst Sikhs over meat and vegetarianism is when Bandha Bahadhur causes a rift and sstates everyone should be a vegetarian. This causes a split amongst Bandhahi Sikhs and Khalsa Sikh's. 6) We also have the distortion's of Vaishnavite groups such as Nirmala's and Udasis's trying to advocate vegetarianism....and passs off their beliefs as Sikhi (we have groups such as AKJ etc that descended from that school of thought) 7) Then in the late 19th century Sikh ranks are swelled by Vaishnavite converts who pass off their vegetarian lifestyles as part of Sikhism. 8) Then we have groups like DDT being taken over why the staunchly vegetarian Bhindrawala groups (again influenced by Nirmala's and Udasis). 9) Then we have Radhaoswami's etc, clearly Vashnavite groups at the heart of teh SGPC now. That brings us to today. Analysing history, one see's a clear pattern of infiltration and distortion of Bani to suit certain agenda's. The meat eaters on the large have stayed quiet and not say much, it is the Vaishnavites I would say have had an agenda. I find this disturbing, as Vaishnavism and their own ideals do not fit in with Sikhism. So what you see is a bigger issue emerging than just diet. It's about the very core thinking of Sikhism. The very basis of the Sikh thought process is being eroded. We are being turned into bearded Brahmins, more concerened about purety and appearance than about action and consequence. [/QUOTE]
