Revision history [back]

Recently my friend had this fb status asking if sikhs were allowed to eat meat many people disagreed and so did I because i understand that your not allowed to eat meat unless its the matter of your survival in which case you have to do Jhatak(not sure if i spelt it right sorry if i did) but he kept on saying that the Akal takht is our supreme body and they said that were allowed to eat meat and im curious because from what i know Guru Hargobind Sahib said that were should stay away from meat and flesh so why does he keep bringing Akal takht into this im very confused
