Chanting the Lord‟s Name, under Guru‟s Instructions, who has not gone to heaven?” P718 “They may be shown the way, but only a few go there. Without the karma of good actions, heaven is not attained.” P952 “What is hell, and what is heaven? The Saints reject them both. I have no obligation to either of them, by the Grace of my Guru.” P969

[@tarjd6796]

@@Randomhandlename Your original argument had nothing to do with proving whether the translations youve listed were wrong. Your original argument was that you believed the verses and passages in the SGGS were contradictory (anyone reading this can search for your original comments in this video). For example in your original comment you mistakenly claimed that the SGGS first promoted the kingdom of heaven in one verse and then rejected it in other verses. In the case of your previous comment I attempt to clear up your misrepresentation as follows. You provided 4 passages that mention the word heaven, in which case you've automatically assumed that the SGGS is talking the literal interpretation of Heave as an abode or a place - the kingdom of Heaven? This defintion of heaven in the literal sense as it being a physical place is typically adopted by those who practice one of the Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Judaism or Islam). The concept of heaven being a heavenly place/abode/kingdom that you visit when you die isn't the defintiion adopted by Dharmic religions (like Sikhism). In Sikhism theres no belief in an afterlife that is heaven or hell that interpreted as a literal place your spirit visits - this is an abrahmic concept popularised by Christianity (the Biblical defintion) and Islam. The Saints of Sikhism reject this notion of Heaven and Hell as a physical concept that you visit beyond death, which is meant to be captured by verse P969 that you presented earlier. Where the word "Heaven" is utilised throughout the passages of the SGGS the meaning takes a completely different interpretation from what you belive or hold it to be due to your own religious ideologies or general beliefs. The mistake you've made is to force your interpretation or ideology of Heaven like a template on to the verses practised by Sikhism, which sadly doesnt fit. The interpretation of heaven according to Sikhism as representated by the first 3 verses you've listed isn't to denote a physical place that one goes to after death, but is the transendence of ones physical and mental being (think of it as an out of body experience) to a higher plane (closer to god), which happens while you are still alive purely through meditation by chanting gods name (Prayer of Naamdev). The Heaven interpreted by the SGGS isn't referring to the place visited beyond the afterlife (interpreted by Abrahamic religions) but is interpreted to mean an internal state of bliss, delight and peace that can be attained by any human being purely by chanting gods name, the inner spirit is moved closer to god through deliberate and sustained chanting and prayer on the name of god. This is a concept that I can image will be hard for you to understand or even acccept, especially if you measure heaven as phsyical abode that is inaccessible to the "non-believers" after death (a typically Christian or Islamic concept that is far removed from Sikhism, Hinduism or Buddhism). What you've done is cherry picked verses from the SGGS that make it strongly suggest that its referring to the heavenly abode beyond afterlife, which is false and a clear example of your misinterpretation of the verses. And this is the mistake you've made and continue to make with all the other pointers you've cherry picked - instead of reading the whole text (from start to finish - something you will never do) you've selectivley targeted verses and quotes from passages to help support your argument becuase you're fully aware that you can skew the actual interpretation this way since it will lack context as you have forced out the bigger picture(to put it another way you're deliberately missing the trees for the forest) Here are additional passages in the SGGS that strongly support and demonstrate the concept of heaven practiced in Sikhism that I just described to you above (Guru Arjan Dev.SGGS:1078) "Myriads of heavens do not equal the Lord's Name." (Guru Arjan Dev.SGGS:890) "Heaven is where the Naam is chanted. All bliss comes, when one obtains the Blessed Vision of the Lord" (SGGS:337) "Don't wish for a home in heaven, and don't be afraid to live in hell. Whatever will be will be, so don't get your hopes up in your mind." (Guru Arjan Dev.SGGS:251) "They do not seek wealth, and they do not desire paradise. They are immersed in the deep love of their Beloved, and the dust of the feet of the Holy."

Well, this is just one of the deadly martial arts of India. Come to the South and see the ancient martial art form KALARI PAYATTU, which combines Yoga, meditation and combat. They use a variety of combat styles- bare hands, sticks, daggers, swords, & Urumis or serpentine swords. But the most deadly tactics involve mind only. These are NOKKU MARMAM, which involves immobilizing or even killing the opponent by fixing gaze upon them. And CHOONDU MARMAM, which does the same by pointing your index finger, directing mind energy at them. Kalari Payattu also involves an elaborate system of medical practices, which identifies the pulse points in a body and applies medicine to those spots to cure diseases. Oil massages meant to make the body flexible, cure wounds and ailments sustained during martial arts practice and free the body of diseases ensuring overall health, is also part of Kalari Chikitsa or Kalari Therapy. It is believed that the Buddhist monk Bodhidharman, took this system of combat- meditation- medicine to other countries, where he propagated Buddhism, paving the way for the evolution of fighting systems like Karate and Shaolin. Kerala's traditional ballads, the THEKKAN PATTUKAL & VADAKKAN PATTUKAL are full of stories of men and women proficient in this ancient martial art form. And yes, the British outlawed this martial art, which drove it underground and then re emerged and regained popularity after independence.

Keralites are the true warriors with Kalari Payat, musket, cannon & navy. They are the unconquered people of India. Especially Travancore (1729 - 1949).

The only entity to conquer Kerala was the Indian Union in '49. All boys went into the Kalaris (Clan Training Areas) from age 6 & women handled the estates & inherited property because the men were in constant battle away from home. If not with foreigners, then Kalari would be fighting Kalari. They were the real samurais of India. Marthanda Varma Maharaj ki Jai! 🕉🇮🇳 (Tiny Sikh 'Empire lasted 50 years & was defeated & dissolved.

Martial arts are as much art as cold combat skills to a culture. Look at it through this lens. By practicing these advanced techniques and exerting maneouvers, it's a type of physical conditioning and establishing muscle memory for fluid usage during battle. Like katas in karate or tae kwon do, the techniques are meaningless without ALREADY knowing how to fight. No one in the UFC fights with pure theoretical technique according to the martial arts they trained in, for example. Furthermore, in this era, combat occured in short bursts of contact and withdrawl, on repeat. No formation could be in continuous hand-to-hand combat for more than a few minutes at a time due simply to fatigue and the need to regroup formations. By having your warriors be especially ferocious and agile, you could rely on each short window of opportunity to intimidate and outperform your opponents.

The British feared anything that gave people a sense of culture, as it was considered an impediment to establishing their own rule. They wanted a monopoly on political control. They banned music, language and native traditions in many places they went. Depicted well in the movie 'Braveheart' depicting the Scots fight with the English. Yes I realise Scotland was incorporated into the union eventually.

[@Dud-in9iu]

On a one-on-one battle the British may have feared this, but in a large scale or small unit level battle these guys would have been eaten alive by the British. The style of fighting takes a lot of skill and training, and would make you a force one-on-one, but this would be impossible to win a large scale battle due to the impossible amount of coordination it would take to make this effective for tens of thousands of troops to use together in unison. That is why the British were able to subdue the Indians and conquer their nation.

[@tarjd6796]

In the Sikh Empire the style was adopted by the Akalis, who funtioned alongside the Regular Sikh Infantry Army (known as the Fauj-I-Khas) using guerilla tactics in which a more precise (and somewhat brutal) version of the arts was employed by them in the battle field employed for more one-on-one skirmishes (the video demonstrates a severely watered down version of what was actually adopted by the practitioner/warrior in the battlefied). In terms of the inital Anglo-Sikh war the British were on the cusp of a monumnental defeat. I'd recommend you visit the channel "red coat: British military history" and watch the 1st and 2nd anglo-sikh War videos narrated by the historians on that channel. It was the Fauji-i-Kaus brigade (the Sikh Khalsa regular army, supported by elite forces) whose troop movements were modelled along european (Franco-Indian) lines that were feared by the British. Watch the videos to get additional insights in to how despite repeated sabotage (and act of treason) commited against the Sikhs camps during the 1st anglo Sikh War by the Sikh armies own two commanders (the dogra brothers, known as Tej and Lal singh) the Sikhs troops still managed to inflict a severe blow to the marching British contingent troops (the Sikh cannons were proven to be particularly effective in this offensive and overwhelmed the British cannons). The effectiveness of the Sikh offensive was so much so that the leading British General Gough instructed his men to begin burning all their military and administrative documents out of fears of them landing in Sikhs hands (General Gough foresaw an inevitable Sikh victory). What actually culminated in the British inflicting a decisive win in the end is when commander Lal Singh out of a matter of treachery purposefully divided the 40,000 strong sikh army into multiple contingents rather than instructing them to collectivley attack the British (this was premediated to benefit the British counter attack), and then laid a final command instructing the Sikhs troops to retreat back over the bridge spanning the Sutlej River (much to the confusion and suspicion of the Sikh generals and their officers). Both Lal and Tej Singh sabotaged the support legs of the bridge (prior to the armies crossing) causing the weight of the retreating Sikh infantry to collapse the bridge into the fast flowing river beneath them, drowning a large number of Sikh infantry in the process. This allowed the British troops to approach the banks of the Sutlej River unabated, where they safely picked off the remaining Sikh troops with concentrated fire aimed from their rifles at the drowning soldiers (this entire account is recorded in historically and recounted on the channel I mentioned earlier). If you want to know the reason for the treachery then I recommend watching their videos (in summary: the Dogras approached the British camp with a proposition to sabotage the Sikhs infantry mid-battle, allowing the Britsh to defeat the Sikh army - in return the Dogras requested the British award to install the Dogra's as rulers of the Land of Kashmir) It was treachery plain and simple - Outside of this treachery the British camps had no strategic or tactical ability to approach and defeat the Sikhs battalion in a up front battle (they were outnumbered and outgunned). This is all well documented (I'd recommend reading the book 'The Tartan Tuban: Alexander Gardner')
