raju veerai ..

do u go to the gym ?

do u play any sports related activity ?

do u do any chores at home ? i dont eat a lot of that stuff you listed .. maybe cheese the most .. but thats every other day or three..

even if i do little activity .. i know singhs who just sitting in sangat also stink like never before ..

i know in the past this wasnt such an issue .. but this is the new world bro .. ppl will get reli annoyed if u smell .. and im one of them .. but i am aware that i probably smell worse than anyone else .. :)

No, i'm not a gymmer or anything. I do some light exercises in the morning and that's all. But I do eat lot of red-meat and I have had people tell me, whenever I don't shower, that I could smell better etc.

But those days where I had none of the stuff that I mentioned above. I haven't heard any adverse remarks about how I smell etc. Moreover I have decided to keep my armpit hair trimmed because it seems to help. Don't like to shave the armpits though because I'm worried about ingrown hair.

Vive la france !!

Definately.. Without body spray remember you are disturbing others. If you think you stinks and can't control it then make sure to use deodrant for others sake ! I guess deodrant comes under category of body spray ?

First of all use of alcohol is banned in our religion but that is if u intentionally use it for nasha and using perfume is notever requierd to be banned... so dont mix it up with alcohol..... in this way u wont be able to eat medicines also whch contains animals bones, alcohol and wat not....

Also u have given a one example from gurbani... but that is that i dont need anything to get my guru.... but gurbani also writes the saf suthra rakho apne aap nu.... and also take care of others... so applying perfume or deos is one step in keeping urself clean and avoiding other peoples botheration....

Deodorant is neccesary. We have to put it on or we will smell and people won't feel good with us. Puttin an excessive amount of perfume is not goo. It is just wasting money and not all people feel good about the smells of perfume or cologne. Use Deodorant but it is ok to use perfume/cologne. It is not neccesarry if you have deodorant.

    • Yeah, that's one possibility. Another I initially thought is that it's a Muslim trying to gather info. But then, you might ask, how does he know about Sikh textual sources. Well, you'd be surprised at their resourcefulness. A final possibility is he's a weak Sikh who was asked a question by a non-Sikh and now he's suddenly feverishly wondering where it's "written" that you can't marry a young child. To the latter, I would say, you're looking in the wrong spot. Gurbani isn't a 1428 page rulebook, like Leviticus or the Vedas: ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਪੁੰਨ ਪਾਪ ਬੀਚਾਰਦੇ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ The Simritis and Shastras discriminate between charity and sin, but know not the essence of the Real Thing. Without the Guru, they know not the essence of the Reality, know not the essence of the Reality. Anand Sahib.
    • You're confusing two different things: One is merely adding starch to a turban to get a certain feel to the fabric. The other is tying your turban once and taking it off like a hat. It is this that people have a problem with. What's wrong with it is that Rehit says to tie your turban afresh every time. If you ask, "Where is that written?", it's written in Bhai Nand Lal ji's Rehitnama. @ipledgeblue didn't just make it up. Umm, no, bro. We're not evangelical Christians like President George W Bush of the US claiming to "talk to God" who told him to invade Iraq. "Speaking to him directly" basically ends up being doing whatever you feel like with the excuse that Guru ji told you to do it. If you still want to take your turban off like a hat, feel free to do so, but don't claim that it's Rehit.
    • You don't need to wear either a pag or dumalla in the gym. You can simply wear a meter or 1.5m small turban (gol pagg or round turban). It doesn't come off.
    • The reason you don't see anything wrong with it is because like a fish in water, you grew up in Western culture and imbibed it fully. It's very difficult to for parents to inculcate traditional culture while in the West. The reason there is a problem is because a kiss between a man and wife is a sexual act (I didn't say it's coitus, but it's still sexual.) By contrast a kiss between a mother and a child, for example, is not sexual. And in our culture, sexual acts are not allowed in public. Goras do allow it. And that's also the reason they have gay pride parades now with people walking around naked with children in attendance and so forth.
