We also offer Kacherey hand made from a Chardi Kala Singh in Amritsar at www.SikhiStore.com, All of them are £5.95 each Review of our Kachera by about.com can be seen: http://sikhism.about.com/od/Sikh-Clothing/fr/Sikhistore-Knee-Length-Kachera-Review.htm

I think if you want the correct Gurmat answer then think about our Guru Sahibs, think about Sri Guru Gobind Singh Jee. They have blessed us with this Sikhi Saroop and by donning these we are like representatives/ ambassadors for Sikhi and we should try to act as such. If you could see Guru Jee going to such an event/place then you should also be fine to go. If you could not see Guru Jee going to such an event/place, then don't go. The mere fact you are asking, shows you think inside already that it is not right to go.

We need to try and educate the youth about how amazing Sikhi is, a lot of them just do not know! And if traditional methods haven't pulled them in then we need to try something new. SikhiToTheMax for example made a huge difference. Others have started great projects like Vismaad producing Animated Films in English like Sahibzade. So lots of things can help. Came across a very interesting read yesterday though over at: http://sikhanonymous.wordpress.com. They talk a lot of sense and talk about things that we can actually achieve, like how a Gurdwara experience should be. Managing to implement even just that would change things sooo much, see that particular post at: http://sikhanonymous.wordpress.com/2012/05/18/the-gurudwara-experience-spring-cleaning-part-3/ ------------------------------------------------------- Web: www.SikhiStore.com Twitter: www.twitter.com/SikhiStore Facebook: www.facebook.com/SikhiStoreUK

Came across this website and agree something needs to be done about a lot of our Gurdwaras. Take a look at their website at: http://sikhanonymous.wordpress.com/ But here is just a little part that was on the website that really affected me. Imagine if Gurdwaras were like their vision.... Vaheguru!! ------------------------------------------------------- Web: www.SikhiStore.com Twitter: www.twitter.com/SikhiStore Facebook: www.facebook.com/SikhiStoreUK

Our Kakaar including Kirpan are a gift from Sri Guru Gobind Singh Jee and should be kept with care. So regarding your Kirpan, I think a few scratches are no big deal but you should try and clean it regularly to stop it from rusting. This is a good way about it. Get yourself an empty fairy bottle or something similar. Fill it with about 2 inches of citric acid and fill the rest to the top with 50% fairy and 50% water. Give it a good shake before you use it and this will work wonders cleaning your Sarbloh items like your Sri Sahib. You only need a little bit each time so this will last you ages. For regular cleaning, a kitchen sponge will be fine, for more rusted items, you may need to soak the items and some fine steel wool works well. We've actually had a few questions come through on SikhiStore taking care of Sarbloh items like Kirpans and Bata etc so we should be putting up some more detailed information on our website soon about how to clean and take care of these items. ------------------------------------------------------- Web: www.SikhiStore.com Twitter: www.twitter.com/SikhiStore Facebook: www.facebook.com/SikhiStoreUK

Updated to show this weeks deal. Don't miss out!

Vaheguru Jee Ka Khalsa, Vaheguru Jee Kee Fateh... Starting this week we will be having a deal of the week where we will offer the Sangat a discount on SikhiStore items. We'll be posting updates here to keep the Sangat informed. This Weeks Deal Of The Week: 20% of our Black Mal Mal Turbans! (Updated: 15th May)

Womens/Singhni Choley have slightly more of a shape to the upper body requiring shoulder, chest and waist measurements when ordering whereas a Mens/Singhs Chola only requires shoulder and chest measurements. Womens/Singhni Choley also come with a pyjamee as standard whereas with Mens/Singhs Chola a pyjama or pyjamee is optional. If your looking to order, we sell them at: http://www.sikhistore.com/products/clothing/

Woah... Never knew that

We also do Nihang and Taksali Choley @ www.sikhistore.com/products/clothing/

Surprised that nobody seems to be talking about this, looks like it should be some really good coverage for us: The Story of The Turban - Showing on BBC One, Thursday 12th April @ 11.20pm In September 2011, Sikhs from all over Britain gathered in Parliament Square to protest. The focus of their concern was the turban. Since the terrorist attacks of the 21st century Sikhs believe their turbans have singled them out for discrimination. In a case of mistaken identity the Sikhs claim they've been wrongly regarded as religious terrorists and subjected to increased airport security searches. This documentary traces the history of the turban in the Sikh religion, from its roots in Moghul India, through the battlefields of Europe, to the fight for British Sikhs to wear it without fear. It reveals that the turban is a crucial symbol of the Sikh faith - one that Sikhs will even risk their lives for.

I think that maybe everything is not as black and white as you think. I can mention a bit regarding Bhai Gurmukh Singh Jee (Head Granthi of Akal Takht). The same video and description on Youtube mentions Bhai Gurmukh Singh Jee offering Bibi Kamaldeep Kaur a mansion and asking her to take a website down. When Bhai Gurmukh Singh Jee along with Akal Takht Jathedaar Jee went to see Bhai Balwant Singh Jee Rajoana, he asked them to build Bibi Kamaldeep Kaur a house as she sold hers to help pay pay his legal fees. Bhai Gurmukh Singh thought as Bibi Kamaldeep Kaur had done such a great deed, rather than just build her another normal house, they would build her a mansion (big nice house) instead. Regarding the website, we have recordings from just a couple of days ago where Bhai Gurmukh Singh Jee was on stage and during his Katha, told the Sangat about the website, read out its address and asked Sangat to go onto it. Why would they do this if they wanted it offline? Just a warning - some things mentioned by Bibi Kamaldeep Kaur or wriiten in that video description that are 'supposed' to have happened just don't add up.

Vaheguru Jee Ka Khalsa, Vaheguru Jee Kee Fateh... Bhai Sahib Bhai Balwant Singh Jee asked for Sikhs to proudly hoist the kesri Nishaan Sahib at their houses. Beanti to the Sangat from us is if you have managed to pa-kaa Bhai Sahibs bachan then please post your photos here, add them to facebook and tag SikhiStoreUK in them or email them to us at: NishaanSahib@SikhiStore.com and the idea is that a collection of these photos will be handed over to Bhai Sahib, or his family who can take them in to show Bhai Sahib. Thanks, SikhiStore

According to my telephone call to HM Revenue and Customs (who inspect items coming and going from the UK) and later confirmed by email: So someone may send it but whether you recieve it in the UK is another matter. HM Revenue and Customs were quite clear on the telephone that anything over 50cms (around 20 inches) would be seized upon entering the UK and would only be released if documentation evidencing why an exception.should be granted is supplied and accepted. Also note, customs tax and VAT are payable by the recepient, not by the sender.

VJKK VJKF MrKhalsa007... We mentioned earlier in this topic also but we are unable to sell Kirpans bigger than 20 inches as the UK does not allow importing of curved blades bigger than this size. Sorry.

By beanti from fellow Gursikhs here and by email, we stopped selling Sarbloh Rust Free Bata and have now just added: Sarbloh Bata Sarbloh Cup Sarbloh Thalee and we already had Sarbloh Spoon

Lots of new products added including: Sarbloh Bata Sarbloh Cup Sarbloh Thalee Rubia Black Dastaar Rubia Navy Blue Dastaar Lohis And much much more... with some more bits to come later too.
