Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

Thanks to everyone for posting their advice, I am becoming convinced that Keski is a Kakkar for women, I really have strong views regarding equality of women, and I guess by not implementing the same rules, I am contradicting myself in a way.

It's just very hard to wear one in the environment I'm in, plus it doesn't help when there is no support from family whatsoever. My parents were against me taking Amrit and that was a struggle, I know we should not worry about others opinions, but sometimes when you feel low because of the way outsiders treat you, it's nice to have support and love from home.

Belive me, I know what you are talking about. I'm mexican and live in a city called Xalapa, and here nobody, and I mean NOBODY wears a turban except me. I wear it since 1994.

I was born as a catholic and when my mother knew that I wanted to change my whole way of living, including religion, she asked me to leave home ohmy.gif

For a moment I got panic, but I decided to leave and told her my decission. She didn't let me go.

Now she and my catholic family respects me a lot. Let me tell you, none here know about sikhs, no sangat here, no gurdwara. I just have my nitnem, my tapes and of course, internet.

Every day I have to hear people yelling at me "bin ladin", "aladdin", "kaliman" (a super hero that wears a turban), and so many nick names. I'm used to it and just ignore them.

In that way, it would be easy if I just cut my h

air and take of my turban, nobody would yell at me, nobody would notice my beliefs. BUT I wont cut it or take my sikhi off.

Consider this things, are there any sangat around? a Gurdwara maybe? do you see more turbans in your place or near it? if you answer yes to any of this questions then YOU ARE SO LUCKY!!

Keep up!

Cherdi Kala!

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
