[QUOTE="Ozarks, post: 104851, member: 8851"] [COLOR=Black]Antonia Ji, Thank you for your response. I guess more information [I]is[/I] needed. I am very new. I have a "BBC Religion & Ethics" website level of knowledge. Maybe a bit more, but just a bit. From some of what I have been reading (various online sites such as here) I was drawn to it in interest (I like to know things in general), but was a bit afraid it would be a bit... I find myself lacking a word for it. A little hard (new words/different language[/COLOR][COLOR=Black]/pronunciation[/COLOR][COLOR=Black]) and customs that I am not sure of (dancing on the edge of faux pas)[/COLOR]. The following I may be wrong about, so please let me know if I am. I have read about the 2 major "divisions" of Sikhs. That being the Khalsa and the Sahajdhari. The Khalsa is the hardcore side. The Saint Soldiers. The Sahajdhari are those who follow the Gurus teachings, but are not required to be as strict to some of the rules (customs?) and not required to keep all 5 Ks. (Though many keep several,.) Per Wiki: "Sahajdhari Sikhs do not need to keep the Five Ks because they have not been baptized - the five Ks [I]only[/I] applies to baptized Sikhs. However, if a Sahajdhari wants to keep some or all of the five Ks they can. Indeed, most Sahajdhari keep at least one of the five Ks e.g. [I]kara[/I]. Most Sahajdhari Sikhs keep the [I]kara[/I] as one of their five Ks." I read a little of the writings of Dr Kanwar Ranvir Singh ([url=http://www.sikhwomen.com/sikhism/comparative_articles.htm]Sikhism. Comparative Articles By Dr. Kanvar Ranvir Singh[/url]) and became more interested. I thought about starting in on the Siri Guru Granth Sahib (am I suppose to put a "Ji" here?) but thought I should seek advice. I was very (can not stress that enough) moved over the death of Guru Tegh Bahadur and the story of the compassion of Bhai Kannaya to his enimies. I think I've listed a big chunk of what I know, or at least [I]think[/I] I know. I hope this is helpful. (p.s. is "Ji" pronouced "G" or "JI"- hard "I" ?) [/QUOTE]
