But eating meat likie many other veg food can induce Kama or lust(Last line is opinon of Das(vijaydeep Singh))But for Har working people it is easyly digestable thing.

Re: Sikh and No-Vegiterian Food
Incorrect!
Bhai Kabir ji mentions in a shabad that anyone eating Fish/eggs/meat or takes alcohol is forbidden.
I'll find the shabad if need be.

Re: Sikh and No-Vegiterian Food
Would you adam n eve it!
Why is it that EVERY meat eater mentions this particular shabad! We can dress it up how ever we want but the fact remains that we should not consume meat. Akal takhat along with SPGC go by 'pleasing the people' rather than following Gurmat!
BTW that Shabad was uttered by Gurji for the benefit of the Pandits who at that time (and to this day) with their 'holy than thou' attitudes because they didn't eat meat!
P.S Sikh history also consists of sikhs in times of battle, had to resort to cannibalism (eating their own flesh) When do we bring that into practice?
Anyway the sikh panth has a million and one things far more relevant to worry about i.e the the budhe who don't give up the seats to allow the young of today to take control. They think they will be sitting on the 'kursi' 50 years to come kamle! :}--}:

Just in case your one of those people who claim 'But Bhagat Kabir isn't a Guru' here we have a shabad by Guru Arjan Dev Ji
Guru Arjan Dev Ji says, Pg 201
Bed PaRai mukh meeTee BaNee, Jeean kuhat na sangai praaNee.
sangai=ashamed kuhat-kill praaNee-humans Jeean-living beings After reading the entire shabad, this line depicts, that the so called learned, saintly people read the sweet hymns of the Veds using their mouths, however they do not hesitate(feel ashamed) to kill animals.

Re: Sikh and No-Vegiterian Food
All this "Meat Issue" thingy is a Haooa created by the NEW PANDITS in Sikhi Garb...those Holier than Thou types of "amrtidharees"..who BEHAVE EXACTLY like the Pandits and Mullahs mentioend in Gurbani.
FACT NO. 1..when in SRI RAAG GURU NANAK JI..our Founder begins to MENTION things to AVOID.... Guur Ji LISTS down NINE things....and "meat" is LAST in Guru Ji's LIST. These NINE Pleasures listed are UNDUE....LOVE of GOLD, Silver, Beautiful Women, Silken Clothes, Horses and Elepjhants to ride etc etc. The EMPHASIS is on "UNDUE" or EXCESSIVE...and the meat eating is mentioend LAST and that also IF UNDUE and EXCESSIVE emphsiis is put on it so that its consumpion causes ones bodfy and mann to suffer.
OF ALL the Sants Babas Pakhandis and kathawachaks i have heard lamenting about MEAT...not one dares say anythign about Gold silver, women and such... ???Wonder why ??
FACT No. 2... When the SIDDHS in Sidh Gost question Guru Ji on various Subjects..GURU JI ANSWERS all questions. But when the Siddhs and Yogis declare that they EAT Vegetables, roots and nuts ONLY...GURU JI POINTEDLY IGNORES that question/declaration as IF He never even HEARD IT. IF "meat" is That big an ISSUE surely This was a Perfect opportunity to GURU JI to set things at REST and answer this Yogis question... ever wonder WHY GURU JI answered ALL questions EXCEPT this meat one ??
FACT No. 3 is the Complete Shabad Maas Maas katr MOORAKH Jhaggrrey...could anythingelse be clearer ??
FACT no. 4. Kabir';s shabads are addrssed to MUSLIMS... and is about SACRIFICE of the Halal Haj festival durign which the Muslim World Slaughters innocent chickens goats cows etc for SACRIFICE/HALLAL. Kabir asks if Killing a chicken for sacrifice is Hallal ?? who is going to answer it ?? Nothinfg about slaughtering a chicken for FOOD .
FACT No. 5.... DIET is NEVER a big thing in GURMATT. Eat whatever fits your HEALTH - physical and mental..IF too much "chickens" hurts your health..so can a load of Carrots...USE your own God given BRAIN. too much rice leads to SCURVY !! and too much carrots can lead to beta carotene posioning....the will you BLAME Kabir for saying Khoob Khanna kheechrree ??

Re: Sikh and No-Vegiterian Food
I myself am a carnivore, but i don't go around claiming you can 'eat meat' just to make myself feel better!
I know it's wrong but i'm saying Akal Purakh does not permit it! How can any religious preson condone the killing of another living thing (yes i'm aware even vegetables are living etc etc, but think logical)
Shabad uttered by Bhagat Farid Ji refers to 'those that live a cushy life' as in eat the best foods wear the best clothes and then prance about pretending to be 'where all that'
Many translations are available but it's down to each indivdual to how one perceives it, Correct?
Anyway i think the Line 'Maas maas kar murakh jaagre' speaks volumes, there will always be dispute over this!

if god does not permit killing of another living being then why god created

Are you an animal? If you want to argue about this we'll be here forever and a day.
A lion catches it's prey and consumes it RAW, Or does it get out the 'Patila' and make 'turkha' does it, please enlighten me?? :whisling:
Now how many rabbits, cows chcikens, have you seen eating MEAT? They are created to be herbivores! (you familiar with this term, well are you?)
Now if your going to compare yourself to a 'Lion' well i tell you what, you go and catch a deer, or whatever you fancy and eat it RAW[B/]
Gurbani states a fact, humans do not need flesh to exist!!!

Re: Sikh and No-Vegiterian Food
99% vegetarians drink milk and consider it sacred.is milk created for humans? do they directly drink it from teets of cows? if you are ready to drink it from cow then i am also ready to eat an animal raw.now you are
going to say that a cow is not killed for its milk.but many calves does.many cruelities are done on animals for producing milk they are injected with hormones to produce milk still humans drink milk and consider it sacred a clear case of hypocracy.if god does not like humans to kill animals for food does he like it?we humans steal milk from the calves
the fact is we humans are using animals for our
benefits whether it is meat,milk,or ploughing our fields
wool skins .i don't understand when people say that meat is wrong but castrating male calves and forcing
them to plough our fields or pull load is not wrong.the human civilisation existed on using animals for our benefits and doing cruelities on them.
if meat is wrong then drinking milk,honey ,using leather,wool ,silk ,using animals to pull or carry load is also wrong

Re: Sikh and No-Vegiterian Food
As for the Bhagat Kabir shabad, where the last line states something along the lines of If an animal can be killed, then why should you not have your head cut, I have this to say :
There is a time to live and a time to die. That is the way of nature. If you think about it, prolonged suffering is rare in nature. Our meat industry profits from the prolonged suffering of animals, people and the Earth, but that is not the only way. When a cow lives the life a cow ought to live, when its life and death are consistent with a beautiful world, then for me there is no ethical dilemma in killing that cow for food. Of course there is pain and fear when the cow is taken to the slaughter (and when the robin pulls up the worm, and when the wolves down the caribou, and when the hand uproots the weed), and that makes me sad. There is much to be sad about in life, but underneath the sadness is a joy that is dependent not on avoiding pain and maximizing pleasure, but on living rightly and well.
It would indeed be hypocritical of me to apply this to a cow and not to myself. To live with integrity as a killer of animals and plants, it is necessary for me in my own life to live rightly and well, even and especially when such decisions seem to jeopardize my comfort, security, and rational self-interest, even if, someday, to live rightly is to risk death. Not just for animals, but for me too, there is a time to live and a time to die. I'm saying: What is good enough for any living creature is good enough for me. Eating meat need not be an act of arrogant species-ism, but consistent with a humble submission to the tides of life and death.
Death != bad.

Re: Sikh and No-Vegiterian Food
Of course, i whole heartedly agree. I'm not here to argue just give my opinion on the matter just like you.
Although i do not agree that the cow is 'holy' that is Hindu thought and i have no interest in this whatsoever.
I've seen a few Amritdhari sikhs who wear leather, and furnish there house with leather furniture, this is wrong.
Do as you please, as long as it causes no harm to others that's my philosophy!!

Re: Sikh and No-Vegiterian Food

Das has read the Sabad of Sant Kabeer Sahib JI,
It talks that if person does ritualism apparntly holy and lives luxurious life full of comferts of sensual pleausres,it all perhaps whole so called holy and acts with life goes to drain ie person is reborn.
If being a Sikh we still live in concept of sin and good deeds then we are yet to be a Sikh.
All acts of us are in control of Akal.Akal is as much as in meat as in veg(Kya Maas Kya Saak) as we read in Var in Malar.
Again as per tradition of old Sampradyas meat along with many other veg itmes are not allowed as they do not let us do Nam Abhyas correcly specaily if we are not working hard.
das can direct you to sikhmarg.com where book by Respected S. Gurbax Singh Ji Kala Afghana is online.
But das feels sorry when he makes fun of Mahapurushs of DDT or AKJ.
Say if we take the litral menaing of going to Rasatal or in ground or pit or neither by eating meat(there it is writtan fish with cannbis or alachohal) then if das does not eat it either after death ashes of das will go in soil.
Soil may have reamins of animals which are later acting as manure and making vegtraian food for us.We can not run away from the ways of Akal as Jains want to do.
uinlike defying the existance of God and trying to do good ourselves as Jains do we need to surrender ourselves to Akal.
