I get what ur saying sis, I get the exact same problems at home...i just try as best as i can to ignore it and dont let it ocme between me and my siblings...me being the eldest of 4. It can be hard but Papi Ji ias right parents expect you to lead as best as you can; sometimes they do or say things withouth thinking but dont think abut it too much, do some simran or listen to some kirtan or if you're really vexed...punch a pillow? lol

I cant remember where i found this but, it really inspired me! Proud to be Sikh!!!! INSPIRE N BE INSPIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PROUD TO BE A SIKH! Who is a Sikh u ask well... I am a Sikh! I am born and brought up in this country. The turban and unshorn hair are part of the Sikh uniform. No one believes me. They think I am part of the Taliban. They think I am an Arab. They think I am supporting terrorism. I keep telling everybody: "No! I am a Sikh! Sikhs are not members of the Taliban. Sikhs are not Muslims. Sikhs are not Arabs." "Are you part of Islam" people ask? "Are you an offshoot of Hinduism" others say. "I have never heard of Sikhs" says another. I am not a Hindu, nor am I a Muslim. My body and breath of life belong to Allah - to Raam - the God of both. Waheguru Sikhs are a distinct people. Sikhs are a distinct nation. Sikhi is a distinct religion of peace, love and equality for whole humanity. Sikhs worship the One Supreme Truth, the One Ocean of Mercy, the One Creator Lord. Sikhs do not keep fasts, go to pilgrimages or pray to idols. Sikhs follow three principles of constantly remembering the Lord, living and working honestly, and sharing with others. Racists say "Get the rag off your head!" Ignorant people say: "Why do wear that hat?" Misguided Sikhs say, "Turban or no Turban what does it matter. Sikhs should move with the times and learn to integrate with society." "I think you are mistaken", I say. "My turban is not a hat. My turban is not a mere piece of cloth. My turban is a gift which I cannot discard." The Khalsa is my distinct image. Within the Khalsa I reside.(Guru Gobind Singh Ji) I explain, "My turban is a crown blessed upon my head by my Father, Guru Gobind Singh Ji." "My turban is a crown of grace, dignity and honour." "My turban is a crown which protects my head, keeps my hair tidy and is the image of my Father." "Its backward to keep your hair!" says one person. "What is the point of cutting your nails and keeping your hair" says the cunning person. "There is no significance in today?s world of unshorn hair," says the Sikh who has been led astray. The Naam, the Power of the Lord?s Name, is the Inner-knower of my heart. The Naam is so useful to me. The Lord's Name permeates each and every hair of mine. The Perfect True Guru has given me this gift. Defending my identity and religion I say: "You are mistaken dear friend". "My hair is not useless. My hair is a gift, a tool, and a technology bestowed upon by body by the Creator Lord. Each and every hair on my body has a practical and spiritual function. Each and every hair on my body is like electric wires, which vibrate and pick up spiritual energy. Each and every hair on my body vibrates the energy, the power and spiritual force of meditating on the Lord. The hair on top of my head protects my skull and brain. The hair above my eyes prevents sweat and water going into my eyes. The hair on my body insulates my body, keeping me warm in the cold, and cool in the heat. The hair under my armpits prevents friction and irritation when moving my arms. My nails are dead material, which are cut to be hygienic, or they would snap off by themselves gradually. My nails are cut to be clean and tidy, and my hair is combed twice daily to remove dead hair to be tidy. My nails are not part of the Sikh uniform. "I see! That is amazing" says one person. "Fair enough, I am sorry" says the cunning person. "We have beautiful religion, a great gift given to us and we are so lucky to be blessed with such a technology and honour" says the Sikh who was led astray. Dont hide your faith and identity. Share it with the world. Dont be ashamed of who you truly are, walk with your head held high. Remember brothers and sisters your image is the manifestation of Guru Gobind Singh Singh Ji & Mata Sahib Kaur. Be inspired and inspire others :D P.s. congrats to u veerji, I'm sure you have made the best decision of your life! :D

^^^Birthday was 5 days ago!^^^

^^also got confused at to whether I am a singh or kaur^^ :D

^^Has posted 221 posts since joining in July 2006^^

LOL: good point, but their religion on paper is Hindu! lol

^^can be confusing^ or I'm just stupid

Yeh but sometimes that sorta distorts the truth...i.e. when you say Indian you could mean Muslims and I'm pretty sure that Muslims weren't killing eachother in this massacre...I think a heck of a lot of the evidence points towards Hindus here and during the anti-sikh pogroms.

I'm afraid it's a fact of life that these kinda things are related to Sikhi in some way...so we should deal with it and not turn the other cheak...These things happen and they can decide yours, mine and everyone's future in Sikhi...Look at whats goin on in the UK, Muslim women are having trouble with wearing the niqab, what makes you think that tomorrow they won't turn around and say, "What's the point in a turban and long hair? Doesnt help you in any way" Its the same in almost everything.

:awesome

Very true

^^May b in mississaguga because...^^

^^Canadian Duno yet got 18 months to decide lol- before I go Uni! at the moment it looks like Ontario..Missisauga?

So can we rename the thread in case of 'confusion' lol...I wore blue today :D

^^^from Malaysia...I have Looooads of family over there! so kool over there!

Guys you are fighting here for colors of the turban, why dont u post something which tells the sikhs who have cut there hair so that they can come to right track. Almost 75% of the sikhs have cut there hair in USA and Canada alone and have gone it drugs, have become mafia agents drug dealers. If you want to do something, then do something which can bring back these sikhs which have chosen to cut there hair, even though they come to the Gurudwara but are not ashamed also. Not only that there are sikh girls who dont want to marry a gursikh guy but prefer a clean shaven. I am sorry to take you off the track but think isnt this a situation these days. I am sure you will know someone as a friend who has done this way, why cant we take an initiative to explain them the value of being a sikh for which our Gurus have sacrificed like no other religion i the world. Start a drive in your local gurudwara, sit down and and talk to the people who you see has cut there hair. Then I will say yes you have done something. Bhul Chuk Maff :D Amen to that...can we close this thread now cos its just pointless being here lol

^^^Has a forum which I still havent visited yet...but will do! P.S Canada here I come people!
