Well from what Daas remembers we could never like what guests say; regardless on whether we agreed with them or not? Is this some new feature for the latest update?

I remember that too, hope, it's one off.

Hello,

I am coming here for honest opinions. I feel the members of my gurdwara would feel uncomfortable speaking openly about this subject, and I don't wish to make them uncomfortable as I haven't been studying long.

I am a 25 year old white American who is very interested in Sikhi. I have only recently begun my path of discovery, and would want to spend an absolute minimum of one year (probably longer) meditating, reading gurbani, doing seva, and properly understanding Sikh philosophy before concerning myself with the five K's. However, I do feel I will eventually get to the point of sufficient devotion to feel comfortable identifying myself as Sikh, and would begin to explore wearing the turban. I will reevaluate at that time, and discuss the issue earnestly with members of the gurdwara, but I would like to hear anonymous opinions about this now.

I just can't help but feel it might be seen as silly, rude, or offensive for a white person to wear a turban. I know at the end of the day, my relationship with the guru is what is most important, but the communities opinion is something to consider. I also want to simply be prepared for the reactions I might receive.

How do you view a white person wearing a turban (regardless of how sihki says you should feel)? How do you think the Indian community at large views this matter?

Finally, what are your opinions on keeping kesh, but not wearing a turban? I feel this may be an appropriate intermediate point, but I don't wish to offend. I know the head should be covered, but anything other than the turban looks too sloppy for an adult at work to wear. Kesh tied in a joora also looks sloppy, yes, but I feel a sloppy head covering conveys a worse image than uncovered kesh. This is only my opinion, however, and I admit I could easily be wrong.

Thank you for your time and opinions. Feel free to speak openly, any negative feelings are completely understandable to me.

Sikhs are very open minded people. I have no problems.

Daas is wondering that to, when did guests get the ability for people to like their content?

I don't really know the answer. It seems they like or agree with his or her comment.

You might be married to the wrong person.

Jealous or what? Not so sure how you got so many *likes* though.

They are always.

"I would say one in three applicants from Punjab would have used some form of deception and up to 80 per cent for those from Hyderabad," said Mr Sekhri. "The unlicensed agents they use do anything from arranging fake documents, providing fraudulent funding and even an imposter service."

Badal behind cherrakhani.

It is a good theory because people can do paath and forget about their troubles instead of doing nasha to forget their troubles. This is happening in punjab, people doing lots of nasha instead of going to gurdvara sahibs. If only they did paath they will not go towards nasha. 

If they leave they will loose their houses for ever.

I think 'pbibbi2' has his/her point of view. If you look around, most Sikhs are not educated, those specially who make the committees.  Even I can't understand what this man said in his theory even if I hold a degree in sciences from Punjab. 

Has anyone watched this video and what do you think of this man? It is really very upsetting.

What can be done as well with growing number of sceptics and agnostics an atheists how can they apply sikhi in there lives without believing in god

Alot of atheists enjoy meditating could this be a way to connect with them

AN BIGGER QUESTION WHAT IS DRIVING PEOPLE AWAY FROM SIKHI

Cause i have encountered people who dont really go to the gurdwara cause they think its boring or think sikhi is just a religion of rituals

Though they should know sikhi is about empowerment an not rituals but the way alot of gurdwaras are run it is easy to see where they get that idea from

Take them to the gurdwarra regularly.

You can ask your parents to buy their groceries where they don't sell halal meats. Are you a strict vegetarian? It is off putting, isn't it?

I like all of them.

Why would anyone be interested in looking at the statue of such a horrid man?  He is not all that good looking really!

unless we try to think about it , no one will be able to keep track ...I mean so Far this year there have been over 80 incidents of beadbhi of Gurbani Saroops and gutkey  and not one seriously investigated case 

Why don't they take their responsibilities seriously anymore?

Has anyone read the whole of Sri Sarabloh Granth on this forum?

this is what is making people think what's going on

It's very annoying when we don't know what's happening anymore.

What was the point of it?
