One point that attracted me is the definition Of Sikh as per 'Rehat Maryada' .The definition is unambiguously clear.
However, I would like to be enlightened as to the sikhs who are not 'puran' [in Bana] , especially do not keep the hair as prescribed in the definition above, would not be included under the deinition Of a sikh. It is of interest to me as I belong to the category and may be someone else is also. Is there any relaxation in the conditions if one cannot keep hair for reasons.
[I do not have the statistics but as per rough estimates there would be around 30-40% of sikhs that fall under this category.] |
dear luv4u
this article is about 3 year old and i don' think the person who posted this article is active on this site.
as far as your question is concerned anybody who
beleives in gurgaddi of guru nanak to guru granth sahib is sikh.we all are at different stages of spirituality.no other person has right to judge other whether the person is a sikh or not.if you are trying to follow on the path of guru's then you are a sikh.
