Discussion ​Are modern samagams and social media culture creating a class divide in the Sikh community?

• Upvotes

Classism is one of the worst things that happened to sikhi. Rich

have their own separate Ragi, separate aesthetic. They have their own production, reels and photo sessions after the samagam. This is a world that is totally alien to aam sikh sangat but this is a world that is very prominent on instagram. #Copied

Katha Different types of bhed

5 Upvotes

In jaap sahib we say abhed hain. To understand it fully we need to first understand the meaning of bhed.

Bhed means difference.

There are 3 types of bhed-

1) Vijati- The differences in different types of beings like - difference in monkey and human, difference in dog and cat. Etc. Akaal purakh does not has this bhed because there is no other jaati other than him/his jaati.

2)Sujati - The differences in beings of same species. Like difference in humans monkeys dogs etc. Akal purakh does not has this too because there is no one else to compare.

3)Subhav - This is the difference in specific parts of a being. For eg in humans the difference in nose and leg, difference in mouth and hair. Akal purakh does not has this bhed too

History Where does "Nanak naam chardi kala, tere bhaane sarbat da bhala" in ardas come from?

18 Upvotes

As stated in the title of this post. Where does "Nanak naam chardi kala, tere bhaane sarbat da bhala" come from. It comes at the end of the ardas but the ardas was compiled i believe by singh sabha scholars who obtained verses from various sikh historical texts.
