[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 114674, member: 35"] Quantonium ji Yes - a new thread would be advantageous. Let me just correct a few points and then you can decide if you want to start a new thread. :) They are the 5 "beloved" not the 5 beautiful ones. The Panj Piaaree who are a sangat's (local gurdwara) representatives of the 5 original followers of Guru Gobind Singh, who stood up when he asked "for 5 heads." Bravely they entered a tent to give their heads - and the metaphor means to love the Guru so much that one would lay down one's life and surrender ones' ego for the Guru. The Panj Piaaree of any sangat today are chosen for their pure lives and pious characters, because they are the individuals within a community who lead spiritually and advise those in anguish. They are also the ones who decide on how to discipline any sangat member who confesses to have broken any aspect of the Sikh Reyhat Maryada - the code of conduct for living a Sikh life. [URL="http://www.sikh-history.com/sikhhist/institutes/ppiare.html"] Panj Piare and Panchayat[/URL] You can see we need a new thread.... The other point of clarification has to do with whether one must take amritth to be a Sikh. That is not an easy question to answer. In some parts of Sikhism the answer is an unqualified YES. No amrithh, you are no more than a friend of the Guru. The Akaali Kirtan Jatha or AKJ would say that. Others would say that one is born a Sikh and only discover it later (3HO). There are other points of view in the middle. It is a complicated question, and one that overlaps with political definitions within India as well. According to the Sikh Rehat Maryada a Sikh is ,,, [COLOR=DarkGreen] Any human being who faithfully believes in: • One Immortal Being • Ten Gurus, from Guru Nanak Dev to Guru Gobind Singh • The Guru Granth Sahib • The utterances and teachings of the ten Gurus • The baptism bequeathed by the tenth Guru, and who does not owe allegiance to any other religion, is a Sikh. [/COLOR] The Sikh Rehat Maryada makes the assumption that any human being who blieves in points 1 through 4 will then also believe in amritth and actively plan to become baptized. [URL="http://www.sgpc.net/sikhism/sikh-dharma-manual.html"]Sikh Rehat Maryada - Sikh Dharma Manual [/URL] So we could use another thread for that discussion. Please begin those threads. We would love to hear from you. :up: [/QUOTE]
