@e p Buddhism doesn't teach vegetarianism either. I dunno where you learned it from. And I've read vedas(hindu scripture) i don't see very specific order to be vegetarians. I always had one question what is the line of what to eat? Because plants dont talk or scream its okay? Plants are living beings too. They produce young kids too they communicate throrough electrical signals just like animals. Where's the line of what to eat?

[@rajk9989]

@@gursheeshsingh9138 see if you think about it, plants do not have nerves, a brain, etc... therefore do not feel pain. Also, when you are eating an animal you are killing more plants. Because they feed plants & use a lot of land to raise the animals when humans could directly be eating the plants instead. So much damage is done to earth & the animals for meat, hence being vegetarian or vegan is the best.

[@mutaherali9759]

Milk & its products are not veg. Water has fishes. Whatever you eat comes out as waste daily which is not veg. Humans are not born out of vegetables. Even plants have life. Sikhs eat chicken, Mutton, Goat & lamb meat. Sikhism is not perfect. They all drink, smoke, womanizing's & eat without any restrictions have seen everything myself in their daily lives. All evils can be seen in Sikhism.

[@jarmaljitsinghsandhu4038]

actual answer is given starting at 3:15 , when you meditate the diet will change automatically , infact you wont even feel hungry any more , you just need to eat like you are just trying yo keep your body parts running. Its an amazing feeling.

I FEEL SARDAR GURMUSTAK SINGH JI IS VERY CLEAR ABOUT THE MESSAGE GURU SAHIB GIVEN US REGARDING HOW A SIKH SHOULD LIVE HIS/HER LIFE.

[@bobbobby9056]

I recently watched a video by a Sikh gentleman from KZbin channel basics of Sikhism, he said in one of the main teaching given to Sikhs is compassion towards all. I think it's almost (is) impossible to be compassionate when killing an animal. We don't kill other humans and say it was the right thing to do, so why is it any different with an animal. No animal wants to die, every animal is conscious about their need to live, so taking away a life is not being compassionate. So with that logic Sikhs must choose a vegetarian diet if they want to follow Sikhism.

[@devathpp123]

+bob bobby no religion says its sinful to be a vegitarian. If you are a vegitarian, good for you , if not, try being vegitarian for a few months, If you dont like it, you can always start again.

When did I say it's sinful to be vegetarian? I'm actually saying that I understand that Sikh want their followers to be vegetarian, which I think for lots of reasons.

Abu Amanah A SIKH IS ONLY ALLOWED TO FOLLOW THE TEACHING FROM SRI GURU GRANT SHAHIB (SGGS) Sikhism isn't Islam were you people follow the Quran, hadiths and sunnahs. One Muslim will tell me it's just the Quran you follow others will say differently. Let me make it perfectly clear, ONLY teachings in the Sri Guru Grant Shaib is acceptable any thing else is sacrilegious. I find it highly offensive as a Muslim you are teaching others false information. But that's what you people do, you constantly want to find faults and prove that your religion is perfect but the problem is your mohamad was one of the most sinful men on this planet. He would rape women that he would enslave after winning wars. He would kiss boys penises, he had many, many wives, he married a little girl at 6 then raped her at 9. So please don't teach others of their religion, teach people how awful and sickening Islam is. Thank you.

[@bobbobby9056]

Ok then so I must believe the following... - Muhammad’s marriage to 6yr old Aisha-(Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 58, Number 234 and 236). - Aisha cleans Muhammad’s semen stains-(Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 4, Number 229-233), - Muhammad fondling Aisha during her ‘Menses’- (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 6, Number 298-300, Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 1, Number 0270) - Muhammad liked to have intercourse with Aisha and his other wives when they were menstruating (Sahih Muslim, Book 003, Number 0577-0579), - He also loved to recite the Quran when his wives were in Menses while lying between their legs!-(Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 6, Number 296), (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 93, Number 639) - Muhammad married his adopted Son’s wife called ‘Zaynab’ after lusting for her and then banned Adoption in Islam- (Surah 33:37,Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 60, Number 305, Sahih Muslim, Book 008, Number 3330, Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 93, Number 516,The History of Al-Tabari: The Victory of Islam, translated by Michael Fishbein, 1997], Volume VIII, pp. 2-3) - Muhammad having sex with his dead Aunt in the Grave-( “Kanz Al Umal” (The Treasure of the Workers, by Ali Ibn Husam Aldin, commonly known as Al-Mutaki Al-Hindi. He based his book on the hadiths and sayings listed in “Al-Jami Al-Saghir,” written by Jalal ul-Din Al-Suyuti.) - ‘I (Muhammad) put on her my shirt that she may wear the clothes of heaven, and I slept with her in her coffin (grave) that I may lessen the pressure of the grave. She was the best of Allah’s creatures to me after Abu Talib’… The prophet was referring to Fatima , the mother of Ali. “The Arabic word used here for slept is “Id’tajat,” and literally means “lay down” with her. It is often used to mean, “Lay down to have sex.” - Muhammad and the Quran sanctioned sex with your wives and ‘married’ slave girls-(Quran - 70:22-30, 23:5,6, 4:24, 33:50), - Muhammad speaks of sex with Slave Girls- (Sahih Bukhari - Volume 3, #432, Volume 9, #506, Volume 5, #637, Sahih Muslim, Volume 2, #3371) - Muhammad disagreed with ‘coitus interruptus’ with slave girls- he supported RAPE. - Muhammad forces a 17 yr old Jewish girl called Safiyyah to marry him and rapes her on the same day her husband and family are killed in the battle of Khaibar (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 59, Number 522, Volume 1, Book 8, Number 367). - Al Tabari reported in his (‘The History of al-Tabari: The Victory of Islam’, Translated by Michael Fishbein) that even some of Muhammad’s wives and companions were shocked that he forced Safiyyah to marry him after beheading her husband, brother and father.

[@gursheeshsingh9138]

I've been thinking alot about this as well. I mean vegetables, plants have life too. They communicate woth each other using electrical signals just as mammals or fishes, so why eating them is right? I think it is a circle of life. We crush thousands of ants while walking on the streets everyday, how many of us mourn on that? And about what guru gobind singh said, go through the history and you'd know when he went to madaho das' home who became banda singh bahadur later, guru gobind singh jhatka goats there. And i mean Guru Nanak dev ji ate a deer in kurkshetra, there he recited the shabad" mas mas kr moorakh chagde, gyan dhyan nhi jaane" i.e. fools fight crying out meat meat but none of them understand knowledge and meditation. I mean even if you look around, I still wonder why plants are allowed to be cut , boiled and eaten just because they don't scream? It that the stopping line? Many people might laugh and be like what I'm talking about plants being cut and feeling pain. But As God created everything and plants are living beings too. Seeds that we eat are like kids of the plant. That plant produces to keep its family going just as humans and animals have kids. Why eating plants is right not eggs? Can please help me out with this delimma?

[@allencrider]

Guruka Singh was right about my experience -- not long after I began my spiritual path, I gave up meat and had no cravings or regrets. Not eating meat is just a higher turn of the spiral. If a person forces themselves to be vegetarian -- to satisfy religious laws -- before they're ready they may have a difficult time not having meat.

[@Amar7605]

I believe that Gurumustuk makes a very valuable point: many of us have detached ourselves from the process of making food that we're not aware where the food comes from and how it was made. I am a meat-eating Sikh myself, and no matter what your diet is we should be aware of where our food is coming from. Food is the fuel that drives the engine which is our bodies. From now on I am going to be more aware of where my food comes from.

I agree with the discussion. People will always invent their own excuses to eat meat or smoke, even though they are prohibited from doing so.

[@ninasaggu6643]

Waheguru made us a omnivore in order to survive. If He wanted us not to eat meat, then why did He make us in a way where we need meat?

[@TheTurbanatore]

Nina Saggu We dont NEED meat...

[@rajanwasu5428]

of all the lives on earth human life is most precious....we should be vegetarian bcoz god has given us brain to judge what we do n surely no point of killing some just to eat n not to survive...we eat flesh for taste n not for survival...

[@rahulbhartiya9728]

+rajan wasu exactly what you saying is right there is lots of thing to eat rather than animal. I just want to say that those who eating animal just think your self on the place of animal who's going to killed to feed human. simple

[@YaoEspirito]

+Nina Saggu Sister, it is the kirpa of Waheguru that we were designed in a way that we are able to extract nutrients from many sources in times of want or desperation. But surely as children of the most Merciful, we ought to likewise show forth mercy. There is absolutely no need for us to eat meat; I've been vegetarian for 34 years and I'm in excellent health. Waheguru.

[@KheglenAnn]

He didn't made us omnivore, he made us vegetarian and then the flood happened and humanity had to survive and turned into carnivore, witch make us omnivore today. This is said in quite all religions, even Native Americans (my husband is Ojibway) talk about these floods who changed us. Now its time to be kind and compasisonate, it is not such a sacrifice to leave meat, if we aren't even able to do this in order to stop all this suffering how can we pretend to be worthy of Waheguru ?

[@mikesheth77]

Guru Nanak allowed meat eating. Some one bugged him Mas Mas! Means meat! He replied Mas Mas kya kare! Mas kha!

[@historyishis-story4250]

I don't agree with the first thing he said. I stopped eating meat/fish over 10 years ago and it wasn't because I stopped wanting the taste of it, but simply because I came to the self-realisation that I didn't want to kill animals.

I respect your choices and views. You have your own logic/excuse to eat meat.

[@swarnjeetSingh]

Amazing reply, precise and clear

[@comet193]

It's individual choice to be vegetarian or not to be. Being one of them doesn't make you less or more Sikh.

[@jagdeepkaur5039]

Yes this very true with bani practice. We know only what be should eat or what should not eat.

[@seanhutchinson5867]

The trouble is for me in my belief the collective soul/energy of life exists in everything even plants and vegetables, so we all need to feed from this energy wether its plant or animal. Everything in the universe feeds from something else. So you is anyone to say what i can or cant eat?

[@navjotsingh-qk9gl]

Waheguru jio... If you don't mind can you please read and understand ang no:1289&1290 of guru granth sahib ji written by guru nanak dev ji...Read it wisely and without being biased..You will get your answers about this topic..

[@pavanSingh-ts5ym]

Sikhism is totally neutral on eating meat, one does not get closer to God by being a vegetarian nor if he consumes meat. The focus is on controlling the five vices, being truthful, honest, remembering God, earning honestly, and giving back to the less fortunate. I recommend reading about Guru Nanakji’s travel to Kurukshetra and his discussion with the Pandeys. Page 1289-15 from Guru Granth Sahib (Maas Maas Kar Moorakh) explains further.

[@JK-jm6kd]

Definitely im vegetarian from birth n now in my 40s more vegan. N im so thankful to my mum for making my diet meat free.

[@MegaWavesof_888]

My body not able to handle chicken turkey goat sheep goat fish and milk .. not able to digest .plz how do I get my b. 12 and iron .I'm also anamic. I will happily go vegan for my spirit journey.plz can someone help me.tks

[@izhaarbir]

Also, halal simply means "that which is permissible/acceptable". For example, in the phrase: "Chu kar az hama heelte dargujasht, Halal ast burden ba shamsheer daste." (often cited about righteous to raise the sword as last means against an oppressor), notice the word "halal" here. Clearly "halal" is not meaning "muslim way of killing an animal". "Halal ast" simply means "is acceptable/permissible".

[@kazuza9]

great answers, would like to see more videos about sikhism to learn more, what i have learned so far is great about this belief. love it , thx

[@gurdas]

3 things.. 1 - You are saying that you have never killed anything or used a dead animal for anything at all? (leather, tabla playing, etc) 2 - I never knew the goal of life was to live the longest you possibly can. 3 - Guru Nanak roasted a deer at kurkushetra, please see Bhai Vir Singh's book Guru Nanak Chamatkar.

[@jnanashakti6036]

Doing what you should do in the moment is a dangerous space. And truthfully, we should all be vegan to exclude the suffering of other beings as far as possible and practicable. Veganism is aligned with Sikhi. Vegetarianism used to be, but now milk causes so much death and suffering with the dairy industry. It's awful.

[@lEnigmaComplex]

@chaksheba Humankind has made the decision, for survival or whatever reasons, to eat meat, so are teeth have evolved, this is why we have canines. "Lucas argues that the mechanical process of chewing, combined with the physical properties of foods in the diet, will drive tooth, jaw, and body size, particularly in human evolution." So we have canine teeth because of evolution. If we over the years ate vegetarian we might not have had canines. I'm neither here nor there I'm just saying

[@thepeterson7]

I am vegetarian; this is my personal choice. And I usually don't weigh in, but....I found it interesting that the man on the left did not want to impose his viewpoints/beliefs on any individuals, stating it is a personal choice. But the man on the right jumped on the opportunity (aka, soapbox) to impose his viewpoint/opinion. He could learn something from the man on the right.

[@OnkarSingh-dl5jy]

i think intentional killings can't be justified by natural cycle. Lot of human loss also happening daily but that doesn't justify that there is no harm in killings. All gurudwaras offer vegetarian foods. Most of the Gursikhs are vegetarians. Some justify by using word Jhatka, but most(not all) of them take intoxicants/alcohol also. We can understand better, if we are treated like we behave with living beings. Guru ji has instructed us to do Naam Kamai instead of Paap/Hatiya kamayee.

[@Dude10659]

Tajbit1 , Guru Granth in Context means God avenges those who plead for there lives and are slaughtered by a more sentient being that could've spared their life - but chose to take it! Guru Granth in Context means, If a animal wishes not to die, and or its loved ones mourn its death at any point before or after they themselves die, God Guru takes it personally, God sheds a tear , and that seals your Doom my friend! A sub-space Vibe reports your evil deed, animal is like a baby you kill innocent

[@freepagan]

@adamisking666 Not exactly. But even if it were true, there are things that can be admired about Sikhism as a separate religious tradition. I like it.

[@BowlerTheHatGuy]

This interview looks like it was recorded on Zoom LOL

[@Jesse-B]

We as humans evolved eating meat, some say that's what gave us the large brain other apes don't have. As my father would say, "everything in moderation". I eat a small amount of either beef, lamb, chicken or fish, surrounded by various vegetables, on a daily basis. I am 66 years old, ideal weight for height (80 kilos on 185 cm frame), and enjoy what I consider "perfect health". Additionally, I married a young woman when I was 53 years old and have since sired two fine intelligent children, currently aged 6 and 8, we are spiritually in tune with life and each other. I can see no co-relation between consumption of meat and physical or spiritual health or lack of it. I implore people to look inside themselves for enlightenment, rather than shifting blame to certain foods for somehow altering your spirituality... well maybe except for McDonalds 😋 I understand concerns about animal welfare, but after having watched a pack of African Hunting Dogs eating an antelope alive, it occurred to me that humans methods of slaughter are indeed reasonably humane.

Because it's much easier, the lions and tigers and big animals like these would go extinct in a month if everyone decided not to eat the "innocent animals" and would only kill the strong ones. That would do some weird things to the populations of the other species too. Maybe create a big imbalance?

@Zaankanter That is exactly what I say. Eat what makes you feel good - vegetables or meat or anything else. But please DO NOT bring religion or gurus or prophets or scriptures to justify your choice. Simply say "I eat what I wish to".

[@razaa09]

@MrPunjabi108 it does not matter, how you categorize them? Starfish are well known for their powers of regeneration just plants can regrow fruit; and saying that you would only eat things which do not move i sjust silly because there are no ethic bases behind it.

[@paulbrar8981]

Come on, huge difference between halal and non-halal meat, plus Gurbani says it’s foolish to argue about what we can eat. Hukkah is easy to know it is tobacco and smoking, Nihungs take weed, some, not all. No paap and pun in normal sense, real paap is duality, ego and hurting others hearts for no reason, as it is a dream/play but Gurbani helps guide so do not take anyone’s word and go read Gurbani and Shabads relaying to this and take a Hukamnana if still confused. Finally, Rehit as per Gurbani is important, Maryada not sure.

'Maas Maas kar Moorakh Jhagdey..' end of discussion. GGS is not a diet chart. Whatever one thinks he can eat it. ਕਿਆ ਖਾਧੈ ਕਿਆ ਪੈਧੈ ਹੋਇ ॥What good is food, and what good are clothes, ਜਾ ਮਨਿ ਨਾਹੀ ਸਚਾ ਸੋਇ ॥ if the True Lord does not abide within the mind? ਕਿਆ ਮੇਵਾ ਕਿਆ ਘਿਉ ਗੁੜੁ ਮਿਠਾ ਕਿਆ ਮੈਦਾ ਕਿਆ ਮਾਸੁ ॥What good are fruits, what good is ghee, sweet jaggery, what good is flour, and what good is meat? ਕਿਆ ਕਪੜੁ ਕਿਆ ਸੇਜ ਸੁਖਾਲੀ ਕੀਜਹਿ ਭੋਗ ਬਿਲਾਸ ॥ What good are clothes, and what good is a soft bed, to enjoy pleasures and sensual delights? ਕਿਆ ਲਸਕਰ ਕਿਆ ਨੇਬ ਖਵਾਸੀ ਆਵੈ ਮਹਲੀ ਵਾਸੁ ॥ What good is an army, and what good are soldiers, servants and mansions to live in? ਨਾਨਕ ਸਚੇ ਨਾਮ ਵਿਣੁ ਸਭੇ ਟੋਲ ਵਿਣਾਸੁ ॥੨॥ O Nanak, without the True Name, all this paraphernalia shall disappear. ||2|| Meat is included in eating items which means its eatable

[@rpsach]

maas maas kar,,,, it basically suggests that vegetarianism does not come through discussion. It is futile to fight over it.As a person moves on divine path, this comes automatically. Compassion and love is not taught, it comes as spiritual inspiration. Regarding rest of the verse, central meaning is real Anand is in true Name and not in things we think are pleasurable,,, which include meat,, and other Bhog etc( they are destined to perish,,vinaas). This verse has nothing to do with eating meat.

Can i eat eggs for gym purpose plz tell

[@LightOfDivine1]

If you try to kill a animal it fights to stay alive, it protest's against your violence! Animals have babies they love who depend on them, most animals enjoy life more then most humans. Guru Nanak said if you claim to see the Light of God, well it plays in all Beings, so why do you kill a Hen. Hen is symbol of what meat eaters consider a unworthy low animal, so Guru Nanak is holding up the Honor of a Hen as a Noble Being, to say God's Light plays in all Animals. Plus Vegetarians live Longer!
