When Amrit Sanchar is done in Gurdwaras the acting PANJ PIARAS advise the Amrit Dharies that, inter alia, they will not eat meat. In Sikh Gur Maryada (Book of Sikh Ethics) it is nowhere mentioned MEAT is taboo. In Guru Arjan Sahib's Langar meat was served. It was only dispensed with at the request of Pandit scholars from Varanasi who were on deputation to study Sikhism closely. Since they were taking their meals from the Guru Ka Lnagar they had requested Guru Ji to not serve meat in the Langar as they were Vegetarians. The Guru accepted their request and stopped preparing meat and serving in the Langar.
