Summary of Question: | I Accidentally Ate Kutha Meat |
Category: | Sikh Practices |
Date Posted: | Wednesday, 2/14/2007 1:26 AM MST |
2 years ago .. someone offered me a samosa which looked as if it was vegetarian, and then i ate the samosa, it turned out to be non-veg.
again the same thing happened after 2-3 weeks..the same problem... the meat in all cases was halal .. as it was in middle eastern country.
after that i had myself eaten it ... for 2 weeks, but then god made me realise that it is wrong to eat it.. and i stopped eating this non-veg food.
now after 2 years i feel that this must have been a kurahit...
i dont know what should i do? i feel terrible and i feel that a great mistake has been happened. should i retake amrit?
in the middle east there is no amrit sanchaar and travellig outside the country is really hard .. for me, really hard at this time, but there is a gurudwara here, should i request 5 amritdhari singhs to get up and administer me amrit one more time.
i need u r advice.

-------------Sat nam. The answer to this question is yours to make, not mine. SGPC says amritdhari Sikhs should not eat kutha meat. But, you did not knowingly eat the kutha meat. This is an unintentional mistake. Rehit is about consciousness in all we do and say. If you feel in your heart Guru wants you to retake Amrit, then by all means, do so.
By the way, another option entirely is to eat only as a vegetarian. I've learned that I always have to ask to make sure what I'm eating when I'm out and about is truly vegetarian. Then you don't get into the halal business at all. Guru ang sang,
