I am 14-years old and I have been corresponding with an inmate who lives at the Central Khalsa Orphanage in Amritsar by snail mail for the past year and he asked me if I could come as an exchange student to India and stay at the orphanage as a long-term guest for free. I am not sure if this is a good idea or not.

I will be careful as per you age. If you have any relative then you can go with them. I highly recommend someone must accompany you. I have been to that place many times. Are you directly writing to the boarding student there or someone from the office?

The orphanage director said I can stay as a guest during my term as an exchange student but I would have to refrain cutting my hair even and wear dastar even though I am not a Sikh

I hope this orphanage is being regularly audited and visited by undercover inspectors. A lot of <banned word filter activated> has happened in orphanages which should be monikered carefully.

This is highly respected orphanage and has a great history behind it. Chief Khalsa Diwan society organization is the one who runs this center. 90%+ above boarding students are handicaps - Blind, deaf etc. Shaheed Udham Singh was once resident of this orphanage. 

Sounds excellent. They still need regular inspecting though, it only takes one bad egg to change something. Kids homes should be the most highly inspected premises on earth I believe.

theres no way i would send a 14 yr old alone to india.  

if you must go, take one of your parents with you and stay in a reputable hotel (book online before going).  don't stay in the school.  just visit for a week or something, and take your parent with you each time you visit.  thats enough.  

and don't be naive.  the place is full of conmen.  have a polite veneer but don't trust anyone.

i don't see what you will get by being an exchange student there.

    • 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.
