Can you explain this context?
My apologies but I don't know where Rom is used and because of this, don't know how that would make a difference.
I have read bits and pieces of the SGGS, but I am really a "newborn" when it comes to how much I've managed to read so far (having only really delved...
Interesting. I'm glad to see someone who isn't so caught up in dogma to insist if you dare cut your hair you're no longer a valid Sikh. Refreshing.
Well, I certainly know groups who are polyamorous by choice. And often it works well for them. However that is VERY different from hidden...
True.
Some of what you say is totally true, but it's entirely possible to have sex, casual sex, and avoid being high risk for STD's. Similarly, being married does NOT guarantee no STD's, as that is partly based on the faithfulness of your PARTNER, and im sûre we mostly know a lot of people just...
I think you need to step back and ask yourself a few questions.
First. Why was he lying to you? Maybe you know the answer, but here it is: he was lying to you because he was fearful of exactly the type of reaction you're seeming to propose: cut off finances. Cut him out of the family.
His...
I have long wondered...
What is the difference between having hair coming out (at the root) when you're *brushing* it, as some DOES invariably pull out, and waxing or threading.
I mean obviously yes there's a more conscious "pattern" sought by threading for example. But at the end of the day...
I'm not sure what you mean at all.
It was a punjabi Christian church. A Sikh woman came and I felt like all they did was try and tell her that the only way not to go to hell is to accept Jesus Christ as her saviour. This is a common premise in Christianity, so it's not like it is fully...
I find people start off by saying Sikhi is a way of life. And then the rules start.
You must keep your hair.
You must not have sex outside of marriage.
You must bow down before ਸ੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਜੀ.
You must not drink.
And it goes on and on with one "sikh" dissing another for what they do...
i sat in a church one night recently, for a Christmas service. It's the Punjabi service.
A lady wearing a tidy black dastaar sat down next to me.
For a while I half listened while 3 of the evangelical Christians bombarded her with their beliefs about how Jesus Christ will save you. I am sure...
One thing for sure. If there is a conscious creator, or we are part of the dream of a master pupeteer, then I personally can't view him or her as conscious (ie cognitive), AND omnipotent and yet also all loving. The 3 don't intersect as far as I'm concerned.
If I were to view a single entity...
Yeah I'm totally fine with hybrids of many things especially if I think it makes sense. I just don't know enough about 3HO honestly to know what is what right now, because I have been unable to attend anything by them. One of my friends teaches a yoga gong class at a 3HO place and I often would...
Personally my biggest problem with 3HO is nothing to do with how it might change or tries to change Sikhi. I view change as necessary particularly when dealing with a religion that is so deeply tied to Indian culture (female foeticide for example, casteism still being very prevalent etc.) and is...
I can fathom the idea of a god, if one exists, being powerful the way I can envision the power of Mother Nature. In that sense, I would say I am more someone who would identify with a goddess rather than a god, but really who cares if one is male or female at the end of the day.
I think it's...
I know for sure in Khalsa schools in bc girls and women are encouraged to do kirtan, chor sewa, many other things that you see more men do in gurdwarey. And while I haven't seen a lot of women doing chor sewa in my local gurdwara I have seen a handful. Haven't seen much kirtan tho. :(
But I saw...
