If an Amritdhari cuts his here then he/she is Patit of apostate.That person is also refred to sirgum and as per sgpce code we are told to not to stay with such person. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=8519
Das can say that if possible we can let him have rebaptised or at least he should be motivated to be converted to other faith and we can respect him/her as God is in him/her but we can NOT consider that person Sikh at all. |

| | | | | | | Re: i dont kNow ,, ur opinion needed...!!! True many times children under pressure from parents become amritdaari but later dont follow it n become patit. Well have no idea , the world for our kids is becoming too insecure, now age kids think that what they do is right, n feel parents try to obstruct their privacy or their thinking n thus more n more of our children r going ahead cutting their beards or hair Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=8519

yes there is a way out. mutual respect must be developed.
once sikhi is presented in a truly unique and free manner - true to its principles rather than customary rituals, punjabi culture saving self from views of society.
when we portary sikhi in it's true light the youth will naturally guided to what is right (they are actually very clever and good)
if what is right and true is mixed with tradion and customs - this is wrong and the youth will pick the faults very clearly and easily.
we must address this raise our game - put things in context. others we can't blame them for losing their religion - the religon is already lost.
case of the blind leading the blind.

Person is not cutting heir for vanity or for convenience. Khalsa has SwaRoop, sikhi is also in the heart. Belief comes from inside, outside appearance supports it. Lot of medications has narcotics and alcohol in it. We do not think twice about it. Body is gift and abode of Waheguru we need to preserve it. What about surgery? Does one become patit after surgery and they are not Sikhs anymore? |

Amrit dhari's cutting other singhs/kuars hair, example: a amritdhari owned hair salon.
I've heard of this before, any opinions???? |
