Re: Beard to be kept tied or fully open
No one has replied to this question. I agree with you. Societal norms influence our behavior. Particularly the Indians, they view flowing beard as you stated, as someone who was sick, a priest or a very old person. But here in America flowing beard is viewed as just another style, but a style mostly...

Re: saakhi of waheguru ji's meher
Could it be this saakhi? "Here is an illustration, how the simple Sikhs understand the phenomenon of Purab karam. A lady could not conceive any child. One day she held the rein of Guru Ji's horse and requested Guru Ji to bless her so she has a child. Guru Ji could see past present and future just as...

Re: Sikhism Today! - will we survive??? (UNMODERATED)
Let us ask this question instead: "Lions today - will we survive?" Who is asking? Are we the lions? Is a donkey covered with Lion's skin a Lion? In other words, do we understand what Sikhi is? If not then, can we understand the answer to above question? Clearly, we need to examine ourselves. Just th...

Re: Do we listen to the Bhagat as much as the Guru?
Questions arise until a novice realizes that gurbani needs to be read in the light of a bhagat's own religion and daily routine, but the message in each verse of Guru Granth Sahib is equally important for all. For example: "Fareed, O faithless dog, this is not a good way of life. You never come to t...

Re: Wedding Ceremony
No one wants to respond? Here are a few issues. 1. 'Sikh' is not a race. "White" is a race. There can be white black or brown Sikhs. 2. Sikhi does not coerce anyone to "accept" it or to convert just for the wedding. But most Sikhs will obviously, and for good reasons, frown upon and may even refuse ...

Re: Gold Kara
A steel kara made of real (magnetic) iron is required. This is also called a 'sarabloh' kara. Other metals are just jewellery. As Gurmail has said, jewellery is personal choice. There is no limit on how many one is allowed to wear. In my experience, an iron Kara of moderate thickness does not rust (...

Metaphor and Reality, Part III: Letter & Spirit #57
Metaphor and Reality, Part III: Letter & Spirit #57 YUKTANAND SINGH Continued....... Guru Nanak says in Japji: “Sing and listen (to gurbani) with longing in the heart” [GGS:2.6]. When we do this, then the emotion hidden in gurbani can be ignited within our own heart and bear its fruit some day. An i...

Metaphor and Reality, Part II: Letter & Spirit #56
Metaphor and Reality, Part II: Letter & Spirit #56 YUKTANAND SINGH Continued … One day, Sant Naranjan Singh ji said to us, “A certain ‘dhuni’ (melody) runs through the entire bani. Guru Sahib has called it naam”. He also used to say that the secret of gurbani is revealed to us only when we are menta...

Metaphor and Reality: Letter & Spirit #55
Metaphor and Reality: Letter & Spirit #55 YUKTANAND SINGH Bhagat Ravidas sang, “When you were a mountain then I was a peacock; when you were the moon then I became the partridge in love with you, the moon.” [GGS:658.17] Why did Bhagat Ravidas say this? Was it logically sound? Absolute reality must n...
