Wearing kirpan without being amritdhari

Waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh I have been practicing sikhi for a while now, I do nitnim everyday and I do naam simran as well everyday. I am still living at home with my parents who do not approve of me taking amrit and I have chosen to respect them on this until I move out and find my own place. In the meantime however, I have been living the life of an amritdhari essentially and this includes wearing a kirpan and I feel as though if they don't wish me to actually take amrit I can at least do as much as I can to be prepared when I do finally take it. I recently saw some posts on here that suggest that you can't wear a kirpan without being an amritdhari …

iam not proud to admit this but i feel like i am strongly biased against muslims and hindus. I always am suspicious of them and generally when they are suffering i am indifferent to it. the reason is tht i have had bad experiences in my life with these 2 communities and i know not all are bad but i still have suspiciousn and find myself discriminating against them

When should Amrit be taken?
by Guest Guest- 1 reply

Waheguru Ji Ki Khalsa. Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh I’m planning to are Amrit and I was womdering how long I should wait to take Amrit. Currently I have learned to read Gurmukhi and I do all my 7 banis. I am also practicing to tie a dastar. My hair is only 7 inches and I use a hair extension to make it longer, are hair extensions are allowed in Sikhi? I have not started to practice wearing my 5 Ks yet. I do not eat meat or eggs. Also, does a Amrit Sanchar have to happen on vaisakhi or any day? If it can happen on any day how would you sign up for it or what would you do?

Gursikhs can only eat food made by other Gursikhs? 1 2

Waheguru Ji Ki Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh Im 13 years old and I’m planning to take Amrit. I’m trying to gain as music information about Sikhi as possible. I heard that Amritdhari Sikhs can only eat food made by other Amritdhari Sikhs. Is this true? If it is then this follows the Brahmin way of eating food. Guru Nanak Dec Ji taught us that everyone is equal. Also do Amritdhari Sikhs have to eat from a steel or iron plate?

amritdhari and presentable

waheguru jio I'm female who has taken amrit recently and feel very fortunate to have done so. Before I was amritdhari, I used to remove some facial hair and was always complemented for my clear/glowing skin. In no means do I want to remove any hair, but instead want to know how I can look after my face without removing hair but make sure my face is still glowing that any hair on my face is neat for example, how to i look after unplucked eyebrow hair .. I've stopped bleaching my upperlip after a few months of amrit and that has changed my face a little too. My main motive is to look presentable as a mid aged sikh woman without drifting away from my si…

Waheguru ji ka khalsa Waheguru ji ki fathe I once went for a massage, but did not realise it wasn't an authentic place until later. ——- deleted——— I Am confused whether this is considered as par istree da sang or not. Whether I should confess to panj pyare and take amrit again? I took hukamnama To clear my doubt Ang 595 Sorath m 1 ghar 1 Man haali kirsanni karnni saram paanni tan khet. Please let me know your views. Because there is a amrit sanchar happening tomorrow in the nearby gurudwara.

I have a family member suffering from mental health problems for over 3 years. Started with anxiety and led to depression and now other health problems. Over 3 years of counselling and various doctors who can’t figure out any underlying cause or solution that works. Everything suggested provides no relief or temporary relief if any. Basically we are lost.

—— and Lust?
by Guest Unknown Sikh- 4 replies
- 969 views
So allow me to introduce my self (anonymously) I am a 16 year old boy. In Sikhism Lust is considered a sin. But I have been confused. People say ——- is wrong because of Lust. Lust is a sin because it takes your mind away from God, basically it makes you forget about God. And that is why it is considered a sin. And that is why I don’t ————-. But, I am confused because if Lust is considered a sin because it makes you forget about God, then isn’t technically anything that makes you forget God a sin? For example When I play video games, I tend to forget about God, but not permanently, I forget about God while playing video games, but playing video games isn’t a sin. But Lust …

Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it. -
Yeah, that's one possibility. Another I initially thought is that it's a Muslim trying to gather info. But then, you might ask, how does he know about Sikh textual sources. Well, you'd be surprised at their resourcefulness. A final possibility is he's a weak Sikh who was asked a question by a non-Sikh and now he's suddenly feverishly wondering where it's "written" that you can't marry a young child. To the latter, I would say, you're looking in the wrong spot. Gurbani isn't a 1428 page rulebook, like Leviticus or the Vedas: ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਪੁੰਨ ਪਾਪ ਬੀਚਾਰਦੇ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ The Simritis and Shastras discriminate between charity and sin, but know not the essence of the Real Thing. Without the Guru, they know not the essence of the Reality, know not the essence of the Reality. Anand Sahib.

back then was waaaay different. ppl didn’t attend higher education or have much to do after the age of like… 13, lol. you’d have 13 year olds boys and girls that know how to do kethi, cook entire meals, etc nowadays even 22 year olds are extremely immature and can be sheltered. the average person doesn’t know how to do anything except their 9-5 which they are probably half arsing as well.
