Why does an SPN moderator target me and my comments for ridicule on this thread? And how is that inviting an open and welcome discussion forum respecting different ideas and beliefs? Did I indicate a desire to discuss on this thread with such materialistically inane comments such as: "Hair beats the VHS or Analog systems as it is Multi Directional?" And on another thread you even accuse me of having the capability of erasing the Sikh religion, which could be construed as acknowledging my danger to Sikhism, and even a code phrase for having me targeted by extremist fanatics. I would ask why an SPN moderator feels it appropriate to target me for such public ostracism and ridicule? I thought personal attacks were off limits. I receive warnings, infractions, deletions, accusations, etc because I object to such commentary. Yet you, as moderator encourage and actively promote the very things you accuse me of... personal attacks. What you are doing is a personal attack. What I am doing is objecting repeatedly to personal attacks, and attacks against another person's beliefs or religion. For this I get deletions and infractions. I am not on a thread accusing you of being a threat to the survival of Sikhism, or calling you out by name as having beliefs worthy of ridicule. What would be the point of sharing such beliefs on such a hostile forum? Since you don't believe in any spiritual or yogic purpose of hair, why do you keep it? If all you can do is mock this purpose of hair why not just encourage all Sikhs to cut and shave since there is no meaningful purpose but only mockery to be received by such practice?

The Western scientists have no respect or regard for indigenous teachings, yoga included. It doesn't mean there is no validity to indigenous teachings, yoga included. It only underscores the profound hatred and mockery of indigenous teachings in the eyes of the wasichu (spiritually disconnected) people who have no respect for spiritual science which is not known to Western materialist science.

How sad that modern Sikhs imitate the same disrespect, intolerance and mockery of Western educational systems which despise all indigenous cultures, including people of Indic nationality. It is self-hatred. Too bad you don't even see it. At least someone like Deepak Chopra is able to blend Western science with Indic indigenous spiritual traditions in a positive and affirming way which upbuilds the entire Indic and even indigenous communities.



ALL nationalism and movements of dignity against colonial racism and cultural self-despising is necessarily a spiritual movement. Even education, if it becomes a tool for degrading a person's culture is an evil thing. So why do we praise so highly the destructive colonial Western teachings which for hundreds of years have divided, denied, and despised the indigenous people of the earth? Who could laugh at such self-mockery? It is shameful.

ਗਿਆਨੁ ਧਿਆਨੁ ਧੁਨਿ ਜਾਣੀਐ ਅਕਥੁ ਕਹਾਵੈ ਸੋਇ ॥
giaan dhhiaan dhhun jaaneeai akathh kehaavai soe ||
Know that from the vibration of the Word, we obtain spiritual wisdom and meditation. Through it, we speak the Unspoken.
~Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji p. 59

Hair holds vibration, and in this respect is likened to a kind of antenna, because it carries the vibration of the spoken Gurmantra, Shabad-Naam, and hence opens subtle energies within the brain and alters brain chemistry to affect consciousness itself. Such is the teachings as Sas Giras Pranayama Simran Naam Abhiyaas is traceable to Siddha Nath yoga and writings about seed (beej) mantra vibration in Shaivism, which is also the root teaching of Surat Shab'd Yoga. Vibrating the Naam of the Lord with your entire body, placing your surti on the Naam and in deep dhyaan is a practice of yoga which purifies the mind itself and opens Fourth state of consciousness where the ability to perceive God is possible.

3-15 Emission (of consciousness) is the way of nature and so
what is not external is seen as external.
3-16 Attention to the seed.
3-17 Seated one sinks effortlessly into the lake (of consciousness).
3-18 The measure of consciousness fashions the world.
3-19 As (limited) knowledge is transcended, birth is transcended.
3-20 Maheshvari and other mothers (sources) of beings
reside in the sound elements.
3-21 The fourth (state of consciousness) should be used to
oil the (other) three (states of consciousness).
3-22 Absorbed (in his nature), one must penetrate (the phonemes)
with one's mind.
3-23 The lower plane arises in the center (of the phoneme).
3-24 A balanced breathing leads to a balanced vision.
3-25 What was destroyed rises again by the joining of perceptions
with the objects of experience.
3-26 He becomes like Shiva.
3-27 The activity of the body is the vow.
3-28 The recitation of the mantras is the discourse.
3-29 Self-knowledge is the boon.
3-30 He who is established is the means and knowledge.
3-31 The universe is teh aggregate of his powers.
