What's that thing?" Pointing and staring at my kirpan, hanging neatly in its gatra.
"The taxi drivers with turbans and beards? Yeah, I know them. We call them ragheads."

Hardly an auspicious first impression of my substitiute caregiver this morning. Shaimaa, my usual caregiver had to miss today, so the agency sent a substitute, an older lady named Mae from an East Asian country..

I heard her knocking my doorabout a half hour before she was...

Dear All,
I am a British Sikh recently married to a non-Sikh. We were turned away from two temples before finally being accepted by a Gurdwara to be married.
During the time of being turned away I wrote a letter to one of the Gurdwaras to express my feelings about Sikhism and Interfaith marriages. I would like to share that correspondence so that it might help others in a similar situation and also so that it might give rise to debate, after all we are Sikhs (learners).
See...

Not A Word of English

Implementing is good,...

Introducing Myself

Posted 24-Mar-2011 at 07:21 AM by KEKaur

Hello,

I am a student who is about to graduate from college this coming June.

I feel that I need some spiritual guidance, and I have been seeking the religion which is right for me. So far, everything I've read about the Sikh religion fits with my way of thinking and the reality that I observe in the world.

When I was young I had a daycare provider who was a sikh-- her name is Joy Cash, and I believe I may have learned some habits and ways of thinking...
