[QUOTE="Sherab, post: 69963, member: 4661"] Akaali ji, the head council members may not. but soem of the sikhs who drink and go to pub PROBABLY follow SGPC.. all the AKJ and DamDami Taksaal folks i see, seem pretty rooted in rehit. Sikh80, I have read SGPC maryada many times. Damdami taksaal maryada, which is one of the Takhats says: hu`kw, hjwmq, hlwlo, hrwm ] ( AsPokt sYÍXy) Hukka Smoking tobacco, and all other intoxicants. Hajamat Cutting, plucking, surgically removing, dying/bleaching hair. Defacing body by piercing or tattooing. Halalo Eating meat, fish and eggs. Haram Adultery and sexual relationships outside of marriage. kuTw hu`kw, crs qmwkU [ gWjw topI qwVI KwkU ]30] ien kI Er n kbhU dyKy [ rhqvMq jo isMG ibsyKy ] "Meat, all forms of intoxicants (including tobacco, ganja/cannabis and alcohol), wearing of hats and doing the pretense of rubbing soil on the body. A Singh with excellent rehat doesn’t associate with people who are engrossed in these sinful habits." (Rehatnama Bhai Desa Singh Jee, 148) also: ===================================================== 3. Halaal – Eating meat, fish and eggs The eating of meat is strictly forbidden in the house of the Guru. It is a cardinal sin to eat any type of meat whether it be Kutha or meat killed in any other fashion and it makes one a traitor to the Guru. In Sri Guru Granth Sahib there is no place where permission to eat meat is given, on the contrary it is condemned consistently and continually. A person that kills an animal and eats it, will be reborn in that life form and have to experience being killed and eaten. kbIr KUbu Kwnw KIcrI jw mih AMimRqu lonu ] hyrw rotI kwrny glw ktwvY kaunu ] 188] "Kabeer, the eating of lentils(masoor) and rice is excellent, In which there is Amrit in the form of salt. Who would cut his own throat, to have meat with his chappati?" (SGGSJ Ang 1374) The Khalsa is a warrior, not being a Vaishnoo (those who do not kill any other living beings), but at the same time the Khalsa is not a butcher who kills for meat. Guru Jee used to go hunting to free souls from the cycle of births and deaths. We do not have the power to become Mukt (liberated) ourselves from the cycle of births and deaths let alone liberate others.

How can the mind of those who eat meat, drink blood and suck bones become pure?" (SGGSJ Ang 140) Qazi! If your clothes have become impure due to bloodstains then how can your mind stay pure after eating a chicken which is so large and full of blood. Eating meat just to satisfy your taste buds is strictly forbidden. Vaheguru has created 36 types of vegetarian food for you to consume, by eating meat your intellect becomes like that of an animal.
