Tobacco Promotion in Dasam Granth

ਬੀਰੀ ਚਬਾਤ ਕਛੂ ਮੁਸਕਾਤ ਬੰਧੇ ਗਜਗਾਹ ਤੁਰੰਗ ਨਚਾਯੋ। ਸਯਾਮ ਭਨੈ ਮਹਿ ਲੋਕ ਕੀ ਮਾਨਹੁ ਮਾਨਨਿ ਕੋ ਮਨੁ ਮੋਹਨੁ ਆਯੋ। ੩੨। {ਚਰਿਤਰ ੧੦੯, ੪.੪, ੩੭}
Biri Chbaat Kashoo Muskaat Bundhay Gajgah Turung Nachaayo| Shyaam Bhnai Maahe Loak Kee Maanhu Maanan Ko Mun Mohan Aayo| 32|
She chews on betel leaves with tobacco and smiles. She makes her decorated horse dance. Shyam says, it appears as if she has come to amaze all of the women of our land. 32.

So now it is amazing, acceptable and beautiful to chew betel leaves which contain tobacco? Dasam Granth promoters won't stop until every Sikh is a drug addict. Shyam is also identifying himself as the poet. How do writings of poet SHyam become those of 10th Nanak? Dasam Granth promoters are the biggest liars on the planet.

The Khalsa Fauj: Tobacco Promotion in Dasam Granth


Dear Brother God Bless you.

The following Chartripakhyan deals with a female lady on covert operations in order to kill another lady.

Tobbaco was discovered in South America by Europeans and it came to India during Moghul time, Jehangir also once banned it.

While beetal is used in India since long and only during the Muslim period tobacco is added to it.
When Bappa Raval was to take on invaders from Arabia , he took beetal, which as per Hindus, means taking the responsibility. The proverb in Hindi for that is “beerha uthaya”. At this times European or Muslims were not in India as a rulers not Europeans have discovered the tobacco.
Term beetal is used in Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji by the devotees who were there before the tobacco came to India and by Gurus, by whose times tobacco as reached India.

So as per you the following quotes from Shri Guru Granth Sahib also encourage tobacco ? Das hope this is not the part of hidden agenda for the covert attack on Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

Above are the Bhai Kahan Singh Ji of Nabha’s definition of betel as per his Mahan Kosh, he did not add any tobacco to betel at all.
Further to it, we find that betel with lime and katha(bark of Khair/accia katchu) is used in it, as Katha is reddening agent. In past often female and rarely males used to use this a present day lipstick. So as in the said Charitropakhyan, Poet, who is God only, telling the usage of this old time lipstick, for making self attractive by a covert agent, who later kills the target, who gets attracted to this agent. So it is rather the story of death of the immoral lady(who had killed her husband due to jealously towards his second wife), who gets entrapped into the plan of covert operative due to lust and dies of poison effecting after skin contact.
Brother has only taken verse 32, while verse 13 and 14 also talk of Pan and Tambol. While verse 3 talks of taking responsibility as picking up of Birha. Lastly at the time of Sassi Punnu, Tobacco did not reach in India.
So after the quotes of betel in Shri Guru Granth Sahib, Answer is needed from the brother.
So does Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji promote tobacco ? and are the supporter of the same as liars ?

You need to take your argument with Harmanjit Singh (The Khalsa Fauj) over to his blog. Here is the link
The Khalsa Fauj

We do not run an operation at SPN the way they do at sikhawareness and sikhsangat -- two sites that permit the badmouthing of other forums and web-based sites when individuals have an axe to grind. So please do not post anything more along these lines.

Thank you
