[QUOTE="Amardeep Singh 1000, post: 216623, member: 22021"] [B]I know the Gurdwara very well. Yes, but that is not the point. Many Jathas can use that Gurudwara with their respective dogmatic rituals about Amrit Sanchar. This particular one you took with is against SRM and they do not follow it. What do you think about it?[/B] In an answer to one of Ishna's comments I wrote down what were the rules they told us to follow. They did not tell us to follow either them or anyone/thing but SGGSJ, and their rules seemed to be very benign and common-sensical, so they did not seem to be violating any rules of Sikhi. What do I think about it? I really don't know. It was a very powerful experience for me, and subsequently I have felt much closer to God, but as I haven't yet read the entire RM. [B]I will request the ADMIN to locate it and post it. [/B] Thank you. [B]I understand your sentiment but that is the fact, otherwise, SRM is useless.[/B] I really don't know what to say in response to that. [B]Well, yes and no. They told you not to eat meat although it is permitted by the SRM.[/B] I have read that some lineages (my word, I don't remember the exact word I read, it was very long time ago) insist on vegetarianism whilst others allow meat eating. [B]As I have quoted one side from the SGGS where eating meat is not an issue, would you be kind enough to quote Gurbani that says it is forbidden to eat meat with the page reference? Thanks[/B] I can't at this moment, as I never wrote down any lines. But it is my understanding that whilst Gurbani doesn't prohibit meat eating the ideal is to not needlessly harm another being. [B]Is this oratory more preferred by you even if it goes against what SRM instructs every Sikh in written words?[/B] Well, you are indicating something that is contrary to what for me was a powerful experience and a lifestyle which has brought me a lot of fulfillment, and was under the belief that I had taken amrit appropriately. Like I said, I have not yet read the entire RM, so I am not yet able to make a fully informed opinion. Obviously, I have a lot of reading to do. [B]No comment because the above does not jive with Sikhi. There is no lineage of any kind in Sikhi.[/B] Lineage was my word, not the word used in the source I was reading, which I cannot provide to you because I didn't write it down, and I read it close to 9 years ago. [B]My bad. To me, you gave the impression you knew the contents of SRM before taking Amrit, which is a must for the perspective Amritdhari to realise what one is getting into.[/B] No, I hadn't. All I knew before doing it were the basics of Sikhi, that I would be prohibited from cutting my kesh, taking tobacco or intoxicants, having sex other than my wife, and eating ritually killed meat, as well as I would be obligated to say simran and Nitnem every day and protect vulnerable people and help the needy.
