Should've got pregnant after Anand Karaj? ....

It is also our culture, we are killing our own daughters. Parents want that one golden child, a boy who will inherit the jameen. Many poor families can't deal with dowry, preferring a boy over a girl. If a boy is born ladoos are given out, for a girl there is nothing. Its something like 893women to 1000men in Punjab. Sad state of affairs.

The sex ratio is supposed to be around 50:50. Around the world it is something like 51:49 women:men. The Sikh sex ratio is so bad. All regions of India have more men then women. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikhism_in_India#Sikh_population_by_each_Indian_state

But he's served his sentace in jail already. Why are they adding more?

Why not just drink full fat gold top milk from Jersey cows?

Felix Baumgartner. Would you do that?

Chuck Norris. You might ask "why?" :respect: :omgomg:

Is the damaka (explosion) a fart. Hagged himself.

No one has hugged me today.

Thought Dev was just a name added on for respect.

Who are you??/??/@??!?!?`' :omg:

Not all Hindus kept a beard and hair. Only sadhus and sants did. Normal people didn't. That's why you had kasais or barbars. The reason hair was kept is for a seperate identity so Sikhs could never hide in a crowd. So they could never shy away from their duty, and so people could recognise and Sikh and ask for help. Also hair helps with spirituality. When doing simran or meditation you will reach a stage where your hairs will vibrate with simran or rom simran. The rules given to us by the guru's is to reach this state of a sant.

What understanding does the fish have of the vastness of the ocean? What understanding does the sparrow have of the vastness of the sky? What understanding do we have of our limitless God? God is beyond science, He is is beyond our understanding. Guru Nanak Dev Ji says so repeatedly in Japji Sahib, there is no limit to Him. How can you apply scientific understanding to something that is beyond understanding? You cannot quantify God, you cannot analyze God, you cannot prove God. The night sky really inspires me. It makes me think. (Why I want to be a astrophysicist) Ever wondered why you feel that sense of awe? Perhaps you are in awe of God. God is all. Ik Oankaar. He is everything. We have him within us. The truth is always there, we just have to search for it. I will think about this as I fall asleep. Maybe I'll come up with something. :D

Thats how I was taught to say it.

Well, all humans are related. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrial_Eve But your clan mate is more closely related to you thn other people are.

We need to eat something. The Guru was sad because he broke the flower off for no reason other than being clumsy, even though the plant cannot feel anything, Guru Har Rai felt sad that he had damaged it. Bacteria are NOT animals. Bacteria is neither plant nor animal. Plants are in Kingdom Plantae. Animals are in Kingdom Animalia. In a five-kingdom classification system, bacteria are in Kingdom Monera. Bacteria are not plants mainly because bacteria are prokaryotic -- no nuclei or membrane-bound organelles inside their cells. Besides I've never seen a bacteria or plant pull its roots out and start running when I approach it. Have you? The musical instruments are supposed to be made of already dead animals? In India dead cows were put in a field for vultures to eat. The tanners would come and take the skin. I asked this question at the place I purchased my tabla and the owner said it was from animals that died a natural death. I am not sure about the survival bit. From katha I have heard Singhs survived off tree and bark while hiding out in forests and small amounts of cholay. I guess they didn't need food to sustain them. They just needed naam. I have asked myself the hair question. I think it is for spiritual reasons. All sants and holy men would keep their hair. Rom simran happens when hair vibrates to simran. Also the identity part. We are sants and soldiers so we have the hair and the weapons for it.

Let's take a look at Guru Har Rai Ji. As a young child Guru Sahib was running in the flower garden at Kiratpur Sahib. He was wearing a Chola (cloak). While running the cloak brushed passed some flowers, thus the flowers were damaged. Guru Hargobind ji explained: "Always walk and move with care. Look after and manage your cloak and ensurtre that it doesn't hurt or damage anything in its path. Guru Sahib promised his grandfather, that he would in the future be careful in his responsibilities towards man, animals and plants. This was just for a flower. What do you expect would happen if it was an animal? ਨਿਰਦਇਆ ਨਹੀ ਜੋਤਿ ਉਜਾਲਾ ॥ ਬੂਡਤ ਬੂਡੇ ਸਰਬ ਜੰਜਾਲਾ ॥੪॥ You have no compassion; the Lord’s Light does not shine in you. You are drowned, drowned in worldly entanglements.(4)

Whoever wants to eat meat let them eat it. Who doesn't let them eat it. All this does is cause issues and hatred between us. Once we are dead we will find out if meat is allowed or not.

Historical edict hand written by Guru Hargobind Ji. The Hukamnama clearly states: ਮਾਸ ਮਛੀ ਦੇ ਨੇੜੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਆਵਣਾ | “Do not come near (i.e. consume) meat and fish.” (Hukamnama of 6th Guru found at Sri Harimandir Sahib, Patna Sahib)

Humans also evolved to be lusty and make as many offspring as possible. Humans evolved to be greedy. Of course God made me this way so I can do as I like. Wrong. Sikhi teaches to rise above these animalistic things and be something higher. We could all use excuses of "god made me this way" to avoid/do things. A "sucha Sikh" is a true Sikh if that person follows all the Gurus instructions.

Definately have langar. I only eat at home, reshtidaars or at a gurdwara. I drank bottled water but it may have been tampered with. Try get water from shops that look trustworthy. DO NOT EAT FROM DHABAS OR BHAIYE WITH THEIR LITTLE WOODEN CARTS SELLING GOL GUPPE. These places will probably make you ill. Trust me, they made life a misery for me for a few days. Hazoor sahib is a great trip. We hired a minibus and slept/ate at gurdware on the way. Saw many gurdware and beautiful sights I would never have got the chance to see. Definately recomend it. Watch out for the machar (mosquito). Watch out for the ownerless kutte as well. Some don't like foreign people. Hopefully you have a great trip. :D

You can have Bowel problems or if your immune system attacks the lining of the stomach. Intrinsic factor is a substance that is secreted by the lining of the stomach and is needed for the absorption of vitamin B12 in the intestines. If the intrinsic factor isn't produced, vitamin B12 cannot be absorbed into the body properly. I personally have never seen anyone have b-12 defficiancy. There is plenty in milk and dairy products. You don't even need forified cereals. I think bacteria produce B-12 too. So it can get into plants and on food.

Stupid "Police" men. To Makkar- How about the innocent Sikhs who are beaten and are rotting away in the prisons of India? He isn't issuing statements for them.

Take some roti and daal. Or, if your feeling really adventurous try a mooli/cheese wala parotha.
