Quick question: what about Sikh girls? I mean, I think it is a bigger problem for Sikh girls to keep their hair (including hair on their legs, face etc..) than it is for Sikh boys. Why do we have this big double standard in the Sikh community?

On a side note;

Also girls don't get face hair...the only hair apart from pubic is on the bottom of their lower legs and lower arms (the latter one is hardly visible) therefore they only get hair in 2 places..everywhere else the hair is not visible in the slightest...

Guys however I think get pubic hair but also hair on chest, arms, hands (girls don't get it in these places at all!)

*looks at the kes on her hands*

I never knew that. I could be more explicit, but it's offtopic. I remember a topic from a few years ago which had a picture of proud_to_be_singhni's toe. Goodtimes.

Sitargirl, not every girl has been programmed by God to look like you :wub: .

sitargirl: I know an amritdhari girl (I think she is amritdhari) has hair on her chin. Anyway, I bought this point out because I always see and hear how boys get criticize for cutting their kes while you rarely see & hear girls get any blame at all. So I can see where the guy (creator of this thread) is coming from with this issue. He makes a good point.

B4ND4 & his bed buddy (Akirtghan): The guy who created this topic pointed this double standard issue out. I just find it funny how no one here mention anything about his comment on that.

well thanks for showing me YET AGAIN, what maturity level is your thinking at :awesome what you call a "double standard" is only in your head, or maybe perhaps in the 1% of sikhs around you. trust me, there are others that treat men and women equally, OMG a shocker for you i guess rolleyes.gif

the more you post, the more i realize why singhs dont like you, and i dont blame em man tongue.gif

thanks a ton for your replies. pretty long stuff I m writng here but I hope u will really go through it.

I really respect what you just said. But its like why? I mean whole heartedly I agree with you that even a thought like this is shameful, and that is the only reason I am unable to talk to gursikh elders about this. But like in real world I dont know but I am really attracted to fantasies. and with hair as I went deep see diving last week I have to do a lot of problems. I could never do swimming way back at school because the hair do get wet and you have to take a head wash. now the kindof problems which come are different. The day the results of auditions were to come for the drama club at our college, the most senior guy comes to me and tells me that we wont be able to offer you main roles because you dont represent the character even though your acting is good, and you can be a part of the production team. My girl friend does not want to hang out with me. And if u think I want to cut hair for her alone then I have dumped her for that. And its like as much as we want to cover this fact but the girls really dont want to be out with us. Sikh girls marry sikh boys only because of parent pressure. and I know lustful life is not what Guru Ji would have guided but then I am really young and I do want to enjoy my life a lot more! I mean seriously this is isnt any offense to anything GuruJi might have told but like I do a lot of path and dont understand even a single word. Then I ask my mom why do sikhs do so much part when they dont understand the gurbani. She said that is the path of sikhi. But is it correct. I knew its not. So I read a 'satik' to understand the meaning of whats been written. and Gurbani Ji repeatedly only said to give importance to molarity, be humble, remember God, God is the ultimate. But cant we just keep religion as something that guides us. That takes us closer to God. and lust and everything is designed by God himself. Why shouldnt my life be of a humble person whose objective is to help others, be nice and polite, thank God for everything he does to us, but at the same time enjoy my life to the fullest. I mean I have tried doing path. I have been to Gurudwaras for long hours meditating but dont know. I am a really enterprising person as I see myself and I just cant help things anymore. I want fun in life.

Please Rehelp[ :wub: ]

Thank u so much!!!

    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
