There is a growing trend amongst youth in the Sikh
community to get tattoos. More worrying is the number of Amritdharis
getting tattoos! Gurbani was to read, listen and sing... but now people
tattoo Gurbani on themselves!
From all the photos have seen, I am pretty
sure people making tattoos shave off the hair where they are going to
make the tattoo. Cutting kesh is the most offensive thing for anyone who
loves and respects Kalgidhar Patshah Ji, in fact its considered worse
than death! The irony then to get a Sikhi tattoo through dishonouring
the Kesh!
It is deepest of offensive to take a Gurbani Gutka to the
toilet yet people think its okay to use arms and hands tattooed with Gurbani to clean themselves when going to the toilet? Would anyone
drink alcohol or smoke next a Gutka? Well there are some with Gurbani
tattooed on their bodies who do that and don’t realise the seriousness
of what they are doing.
Does anyone really think the Chaar Sahibzaade
would have a tattoo? Would Kalgidhar Paatshah have a tattoo? The tattoos
Guru Ji talks about is writing Naam and Bani on your heart, mind and
thoughts, but where have we gone instead? Same Sikhi tattooed bodies can
be seen drinking, in the barbers, indulging in ghor manmat?
Brothers
and sisters, take claim to your Sikhi pride and use it to live and
breathe Sikhi! Lets wake up Amrit vela, read Nitnem, do Seva, keep our
Guru given identity and take Khande-Di-Pahul and become real Singhs and
Singhnian of Kalgidhar Paatshah!
Bhul chuk maafððŧ
Note: There are
some Gursikhs who have tattoos, but they are from their past life before
taking Amrit. Therefore not much can be done, however no excuse for
others ji.
