[QUOTE="tony, post: 98329, member: 2152"] Dear All Thank you Virinder ji and Dalbirk ji for telling me what they are intended to do, Dalbirk ji your explanation of hair is the best I've heard and makes a lot of sense. Not sure that a face with a flowing beard looks more radiant though but I'll leave that to personal opion and not dispute it. You mentioned co-habitating with some one other than your spouse being an Apostate, what is an Apostate please. Pk70 ji No one is critising or mocking those who carry them, I'm only asking why so that I and others can get a better understanding of them, If one doesnt ask why then one wears them in blind faith. If Guru Nanak ji didnt question others believes he would have had a thread round is neck and Sikhism wouldnt excist. I am asking so as to learn. You stated the Kirpan is a symbol of power is that appropriate to Sikhism. May I also take it that with your statement that Sikhs should have arms suitable to todays times that you think Sikhs should swop there Kirpan for a Magnum. I have no problem in wearing the five K's just want to no why they are there. Gyani ji You have stated that many use Gurbani and twist it to justify the need not to wear them, however I have noticed that on the subject of hair it is the other way round, many quotes are twisted to say that you must have them, constant one liners to show hair is mentioned but they are taken out of context, many have gone to extraordinary lenghts to show this. I accept it is a personal choice to wear/ not to wear them and havent witnessed any one trying to persuade any one to follow any chosen path either way. I am very happy to see anyone win the right to wear them as this is a victory for freedom. As the SGGS doesnt mention them, How else is a person supposed to find out why we have them. I have only asked for someone to point me in the right direction to where the Hukam is that states it, Yet as to date no one has all I get is that its from the tenth Nanak ji but no one can or has said where I might find it. Your are right and I do not disagree that Guru ji said that the SGGS was to be the final Guru ji and that all a Sikh needs to know is in it, As this hukam isnt then the question must arise as to why. I'm not having ago at any body just asking thats all, not hot under the collar just a simple question that no one has answered yet. Antonia ji I agree with you that its something you do when your ready and hopefully this thread might help me towards doing it, The thing is that when I first started reading about Sikhism ten years ago, I read that the five items that Guru ji gave the Panj pyar wheren't the five K's as is today, it said that they where five different types of weapons, a short dagger, the kirpan, a spear, a bow and arrow and a rifle, which if you where making an army would make more sense, and that the Khalsa where told not to cut their hair at that time as it would have been seen as a sign of convertion to islam, just a rebel thing to show the mogul rulers that they wouldnt conform.
