Alexandra turned Uttrang logs on to promote Sikh religion, culture

Kala Chana is a favourite food of the Nihangs who are famous for having eternal stamina and Chardikala (risen spirit ). In Nihang langars (read community kitchens) you will often see Kala Chana being served. Nihangnis, Raaginis and those who meditate wear a 'true' chunni made from 100 per cent cotton. With posts on issues like these dated July 19 and 17, respectively on www.nihangni.com, Alexandra Aitken, the daughter of former British cabinet minister Jonathan Aitken, who had hit the headlines a couple of years back after she married a Nihang Sikh, Inderjot Singh from Punjab and embraced Sikhism, is now on a roll to immerse herself fully in the Sikh way of living.

Alexandra, who now goes by the name of Uttrang Kaur Khalsa is writing articles on an vast range of topics from health to meditation to the Sikh way of living on websites www.soundlotus.com and more recently on www.nihangni.com .

From invoking the 30th hukamnama of the 52 hukamnamas of Guru Gobind Singh where the Sikh guru had underlined the importance of weaponary and horses to listing the immune boosting powers acquired by Nihangs by washing their hands with Ritha (soap nuts), Uttrang is spreading the Sikh principles and Punjabi way of living on the virtual world.

Once known as a party girl frequenting the most happening parties in London and Los Angeles, Uttrang is a diametrically opposite person now.

"I heard it takes 1,000 silk worms to die to make a silk Chunni. Its better karma to love all creatures, including silk worms," she wrote in her Nihangni notes on July 17 while underling the importance of a cotton chunni, where she said, "Cotton on your head is very cooling and calming for the mind. "

"There may be an exact measurement the Guru gave for a chunni. Chunnis should be long enough to completely cover a woman from head to the bottom of her ribcage. Mine measures 2.5 m on the long side," she writes. The marriage of Alexandra Aitken with Inderjot Singh attracted the attention of the international media. In the follow up stories, there were reports of how Inderjot, who too reportedly liked to party, became a Nihang Sikh. Some later reports also suggested that Alexandra was no more living with Inderjot, which was denied by Alexandra's sister Victoria who said she remained in touch with her sister and that her sister's marriage was fine.

    • 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.
