[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 1669, member: 189"] [b]Rehatnamas can and have been changed[/b] Waheguru Ji ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh. The Rehatnamas are essentially "documents" penned by writers close to Guru Ji and NOT personally written by Guru Ji or signed by Guru Ji. The authors wrote "codes of conduct" as they understood them...that is why there are many contradictions among the various rehatnamas. Rehatnamas are NOT GURBANI. Hence they can be changed, amended by the Collective GURU KHALSA PANTH. This process was once done in the 1930's when the SIKH REHAT MARYADA was formulated by WORLD WIDE discussion/participation of the Guru Khlasa panth...and the Draft of this SRM was Published by the Akal Takhat/SGPC. This Draft is being used in most Gurdwaras and Khalsa Schools throuh out the world. Unfortunately some "memebers" of the Drafting Committee left the discussions after they proved unable to convince the others of their personal views - these views were on MEAT eating and Raagmala. The dissenting Group wanted to BAN ALL MEAT - and Ban the reading of Raagmala as "not Gurbani". The Drafting Commitee decided to 1. make Reading Raagmala elective - those who want to read it can do so and those who dont want can stop the Bhog at MUNDAWANI. On the MEAT question it was decided that Sikhism /GURMATT doesnt BAN meat..ONLY KUTTHA which is halal Meat that is SACRIFICIAL meat ( this includes sacrificial meat of Hindu Devis/devtas/mandirs as well as the more common Muslim halal.) This SRM was moulded from all the Rehatnamas prevalent in the times...and those that needed change were discarded or amended.. The important thing to remeber is that ONLY Dhur Ki bani "GURBANI" inside the GURU GRANTH SAHIB JEE is not subject to any changes/amendments/edition. Not even the Guru Khalsa Panth which co-shares GURGADHI with Guru Granth sahib jee can change the Gurbani. This si because GURBANI is timeless ....as Akal purakh from whence it came _ Dhur Ki bani ayee jin saglee chint mitayee...Bani Guru , GURU hai Bani. Thus any changes in the rehatnmas must be consistent with GURBANI - Gurbani dee KASWATTI te. There can be no single code of conduct that CONTRADICTS what gurbani says. Jarnail Singh [/QUOTE]
