Got to love armchair psychology. I never met every person on the planet and asked them what their ambitions are so I can't say that for sure. However that does seem to be general creed that has helped humanity advance. This thread isn't a Sikhism thread but rather a thread about...

You can't "cleanse" the DNA of our ancestors. It doesn't exactly work that way. 1/200th of the human population has a common ancestor in Genghis Khan (man had many wives) and although most of those people don't behave like him they can never "cleanse" their genetic information in such a fashion...

Thanks for the clarification. However the same train of thought still holds true. I am not a Sikh so I don't value hair in that kind of sense (or at all). It wasn't your ancestors fault that you didn't make good decisions when you were younger. It was your fault. Just like if I screw up. I...

You will allow Mai to respond? When did she need your permission to reply to a post? Also you do realize that I no longer associate myself with Sikhism? Therefore I have no desire to become a "warrior saint". Why do I want to shave my head bald? It's just something I'm curious to try. Where...

I don't think most religions are against anyone making money. Religious leaders are sometimes the richest people (Mega Church Pastors, The Catholic Church, Dalai Lama, etc). However there may be a problem if your occupation goes against a key tenet of your religion. There may be a problem...

But she is correct in most cases. If you take a clear look at Sikh-Born Punjabis you see that clean shaven men and women are clearly preferred over people that keep the 5Ks. She's just the product of the system and what people prefer. The later of which is probably a mixture of what the global...

Thanks for the greetings!

Thanks for the welcome.

Ah... didn't think about the offspring. I was just thinking about the actual person being forced and not beyond that.

You would be surprised at how fast a minority group can turn around and oppress another group once they become a majority (Puritans in the Mass. Bay Colony for example). Too late... Expect a Death Star attack by next week. =)

I never quite understood the drive of some to convert others into their religion by hook or crook. Yes it will add another number towards the ranks of that religion but it would be a hollow number that has no real meaning. -------------------------------------- For example: Let's say that...

I'm just warming up Mr. Sinner You are in a minority opinion so expect to get some sort of heat coming your way. I'm in the minority opinion on here (non-Sikh) as well but I fully know that I will a lot of opposition.

I am not a new member but since I'm coming back since over a year I thought I would make this post to get myself reacquainted with the community at SPN.

Re: I am interested in Sikhi and acquiring the 5 k's. I'm not a lawyer but you two probably aren't legally married if you don't have am marriage license of some sort. But ultimately the true answer to the question of whether or not you two are married or not comes from within your own hearts...

What is worship? Doing something that makes one reflect upon either a higher power or some sort of spiritual essence. What is idol worship? When a worshiper project's his/her reflection onto a inanimate object or a non-human living creature (snakes, cows, trees, etc)...
