Shivbrahmin ji
Welcome to the Forum !
I think it should not be of any trouble if you wear brazlet Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=18287
Hindu believer is no diffrent from Sikh beliver after all we are longing to unite with same one God .
In india infact many hindu do wear such brazlet and is more of a sign of mutual understanding and brotherhood between sikh and hindu

Forgive my ignorance, but about what item are we speaking? I live in The United States and may know it by a different name or spelling. |

Damo_singh ji
The word is bracelet -- kara. The steel bracelet that we wear. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=18287
And shivabrahmin ji - welcome - I have a similar question, not exactly the same. I have always wondered whether baptized Sikhs (amritdhari) are offended when Sikhs who are not baptized wear any of the 5 k's (bracelet, hair, turban, wooden comb and cotton underpants). Can never get a straight answer to this question. So I understand you point. |

The straight answer is no.Majority of turbanned keshdhari sikhs are non amritdhari so how
could they feel offended.Similarly a lot of hindu's in india also wear kara.Yes there are narrow minded amritdhari sikhs who could feel offended but we can't make each and everybody happy. |

Communication is difficult when speaking face to face and I often find myself misunderstood on forums. I have studied spirituality most of my adult life. I mentioned to aad0002 that the only Mantra I knew was the Gayatri and she thought that I meant that I was still chanting it. Fortunately, I have since learned the Mool Mantra. I was fairly certain that the subject was kara; however, the spelling threw me as I am sure my attempts at Gurmukhi would those of you who are literate in Gurmukhi. I have also found that there are certain words that I spell as they would be spelled in the UK which is slightly different than here in the USA. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=18287Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=18287
Anyway, glad to here that the wearing of the kara is not an offense to others as I do wear one and am not near being prepared for baptism.
Most of my knowledge of Hinduism comes from the www.himalayanacademy.com/ - email course. I wish there were such a course for sikhi.
