kara is a bakhshish given to a sikh by guru sahib WITH amrit.

withtout amrit, kara isn't really a kara, its just a bangle. just like without amrit, one can wear a daggar but after amrit the dagger is transformed into a kirpan.

bhul chuk maaf.

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH

To Guru Ji's Sipahi:

http://www.damdamitaksal.com/lit_basicsfivek.htm

quote from tha link:

The following five K's are the mark of Sikhi.These five can never be parted from the body. Kara, Kirpan, Kashera, Kangha, recognise these as four of them.The fifth is Kesh, without which the other four are useless. There are also four H's which must be avoided. Understand this without any doubt, no lies have been told. Hukka, taking tobacco (including any other type of intoxicants). Hajamat, removing of hair. Halalo, eating meat. Haram, adultery (sexual relationships outside of marriage). These are the four H's. Dyeing of beards (including any other body hair), and the wearing of mehndi (including other types of make up) are strictly forbidden. (Sri Dasam Granth)

What is wrong with eating meat? Besides, taksal is just a sect in Sikhism. There are groups in Sikhism that believe in eating meat and doing drugs (refer to the Nihangs)

At least you are wearing one of the 5 k's. LOL.gif

I think it is important so I can distinguish between people from Sikh backgrounds and those not. I know people will say some people (you know who) wear karay to pull some dumb girls but generally it it is quite accurate to tell if someone is an upna or not.

Plus it is some form of connection to Sikhism.

True.

I don't have kesh, neither do I wear a kara. If I do wear one, I would be acting like I'm a religious Sikh, but that's just in my opinion, I wouldn't disagree with someone who wears one with no kesh, as long as they don't abuse it.

Lets turn it around, how about a Sikh who keeps kesh but with no kara?

Lets really turn it around. How about a Sikh with 5 kakkars and no morals i.e. the whole of the S.G.P.C and the Akali Dal?

I've got something that I've been thinking about that I would like to share with with the brothers and sisters. i was thinking, just hypothetically, that I wouldn't make my child grow their hair and be kesh dhari until I knew they could fight real good and were morally upright. Someone once told me that an amritdhari who can't really fight like a hardcore warrior should be made to take his kakkars off because they are frauds and nothing like the people they are trying to imitate.

What do the sangat think of this point?

I know about Bhai Joga, but still he was an exception to enforce a point about compassion being important for a Singh.

I read in Bachitar Natak that Guru Gobind after his first few battles threw the people who refused to fight out of Anandpur and rewarded the ones that did.

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
