Waheguru Ji!
I hope with this post I can find some kind of solace with fellow Singhs and Singhneea!
Since April of this year I decided to keep my Kesh, my dad is a keshdhari Singh however cuts his dhari. I come from a moderately religious family, however everyone's drinks and eats meat within my family. So anyway I decided too keep my Kesh however continued I cut my dhari a I did before. In July I went to Punjab for a holiday by myself and visited numerous Guru Ghar and decided to also keep my dhari, a point to note is that I listen to loads of Kirtan and diwans I also do a lot of jaapand path. When I returned home my family told me to cut my beard saying that I look too old, so instinctively I listens to them and cut it. A few weeks ago undecided to keep my beard again as I beleive that there is no point me doing all this jaap and listen to all our ithiaas if I am not going to act upon it. Since then I have been ridiculed by my parents and my brother. constantly I hear "gyaniJi" as now they call me this. Sayin I will not get a job etc!
I have explained To them that it is my choice and that I feel it is the right time or me but try still disagree!
Please help!
