it is not suitable for paranoid sikhs.

it is ok for other sikhs. Its more of a tradition, so human beings that have rakhri as a tradition celebrate it. But not all human beings have this as a tradition, therefore I would say not all sikhs have it either :)

gur fateh ji !

wat do u mean by paranoid sikhs and other sikhs??

kindly explain :)

can anyone tell me if festival Rakhri is a festival of sikhs or not. Thanks in advance

no, rakhri is not a festival of Sikhs, it was a hindu tradition even before our Guru ji's time.

here's how i see it. when a woman ties rakhri on her brother's wrist, she is asking for his protection. this implies that she is not able to protect herself. it's degrading to women. Guru ji taught that we are the equals of men and do not need their protection.

if a girl feels like she needs her brother's protection, she can go for it, but if she is Khalsa, she should be able to protect herself.

if you like the bonding between sister and brother, why not give a gutka or a kadha, maybe a nice kirpan. give something compatible with sikhi instead. the idea of brother/sister bonding is wonderful, but it's not necessary to degrade women in the process. :)

and before the singhs jump in, yes, i'm a feminist. deal with it. Guru ji gave us a dastaar and kirpan for a reason, and it's not so we can hide behind any man! :gatka-singhni:

:D

totally agree^^^.

we got women like mata sahib kaur who is at the top of the chain when it comes to shastr vidiya. along with mai bhago. they create a perfect example for our singhnia today. most people dont know this but baba ji told me whenever maharaj went into the battlefield, mata sahib kaur used to leave her body and go to the maedan as well. mata sahib kaur fought in a lot of major battles. but only in atma form, not in body form. but atma form is where all the power comes from anyway.

dhan dhan mata sahib kaur ji, sab thaee hoye sahaye

      Child marriage questions

      By BhForce · Posted

      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.

      Starched Turbans - Topi Or Not Topi

      By BhForce · Posted

      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.

      Starched Turbans - Topi Or Not Topi

      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.

      Kissing in public

      By BhForce · Posted

      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.
