thats how bad it is i mean first off all like everyones said he shouldn't be going there anyway but the thing is he honestly thinks its absolutely fine and so do his parents that they're making a case out of it. Why is he wearing a turban or even more so how and why has he kept his kes with habits and parents like that. If only he was able to attain satsangat he'd still have a chance...

My Lord, even extremism has its' limits.

Just because the man trims his beard and was going with his boyz to have a beer he shouldn't receive a apology from the bar owner? That's ridiculous. The man is at least wearing a turban, and trying to represent as much as he can. Too bad not everyone can be like you lot people, jeez. Now I know why people think Sikhs are becoming to extreme now-a-days. How are you supposed to encourage people to come back into Sikhi if all you do is find faults in the people, logically think about it and tell me? rolleyes.gif

Its not about extremism.. Trust me..I have far too many limitations myself to even call myself a proper sikh. But it is about representing something. How would you feel if you see a turban wearing guy walking out of a strip club. Would you have the same reaction if this guy was turned away from a strip club?

Its hard when you tell someone that you are not suppossed to drink, and the reply comes back that they used to study with a turbaned sikh that used to love his beers. You see where I am getting at...

All of us have faced similar questions, so you know what I am talking about. The turban represents the most visible aspect of our religion. It doesn't matter whether you are trimmed, short, tall etc. You will be spotted no matter where you are because of your turban. So, our actions should be a bit more careful when we are wearing a turban.

Reppin as much as he can?

Wearing our Father's crown in a bar is not reppin anything positive.

1=Sava lakh doesn't only mean you can beat up sava lakh. It also means you represent sava lakh. And I'm sure he's not the only dastaradhari that goes to pubs etc.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
