  1. Wear a dastar when you are ready to carry its weight and recognize that your head is no longer yours, but it is Guru Sahibs. I am sick of people wearing dastars but still engaging in other stupid activities, it just brings shame to the name of Sikhi and Guru Sahib. I'm in no way saying you will do that, but make sure that when you take this step, it's from your heart and you have the desire to do it, otherwise it's just a false ritual (e.g. if you wear it to impress others or something). Dastar is extremely important in Sikhi - it's a symbol of our sovereignty and should be respected to the highest degree. I feel Gursikhs are slightly incomplete without a Dastar, so eventually, everyone should wear it or should at least have a joora on top of their head. But I also feel that whoever wears it should understand its significance and realize what they're representing.

  2. This is HORRIBLE news! The Panth needs to get together and do something about this. I wonder if the R4G campaign knows about this. The SGPC is simply milking money by doing this - they clearly don't care about the likely beadbi of thousands of saroops. There are so many people that do major Beadbi to Guru Sahib's Suroops, even keeping alcohol and meat in the same place, not putting Maharaj on a proper Manji, not following proper maryada or even washing their hands properly! This is a slap in the face for Sikhs, that we're letting this happen.

    Please circulate this through e-mail everyone, maybe if awareness spreads, something can get done.

  3. I think moderators should watch for people posting irrelevant things to the topic being discussed, and starting personal threats. I know people are entitled to their own opinion, but they should at least get warnings if they are instigating more conflict/hatred/swearing.

  4. "In 1985, the meditation team made a video of monks drying cold, wet sheets with body heat. They also documented monks spending a winter night on a rocky ledge 15,000 feet high in the Himalayas. The sleep-out took place in February on the night of the winter full moon when temperatures reached zero degrees F. Wearing only woolen or cotton shawls, the monks promptly fell asleep on the rocky ledge, They did not huddle together and the video shows no evidence of shivering. They slept until dawn then walked back to their monastery. "

    Wow.
