[QUOTE="Harkiran Kaur, post: 197869, member: 18224"] Might I ask what part of Canada? I was not born into Sikhi either... I am in Halifax... My journey into Sikhi started about 10 years ago, I had always been spiritual but when I came across a copy of the Guru Granth Sahib Ji, I read and everything just clicked. Since then, I have been reading a lot. Three years ago, I contacted the local gurdwara... and made the step to start attending. I have been regularly attending for the last 3 years. I have been to India once, and I am going back again this fall, and will do Amrit when I am there. Right now, I have adopted the 5 k's (minus kirpan until I do Amrit), and I also tie a dastar all the time (which I worked up to bit by bit) the only time I can't tie it yet is at work because I am in the military and only Sikh men are allowed to have turbans in uniform (and I am fighting that with with help of World Sikh Organization Canada as we speak). But I worked up to where I am bit by bit, so that it wasn't a huge change all at once. Do little things over time and they become part of you and easy to keep up. I would have found it much more difficult to put on all the kakkars, tie a turban and do Amrit all at once right from the beginning. First of all, I would have failed my commitments made during the amrit sanchar... and the kakkars would have last very short time... I came to Sikhi not through 3HO / Kundalini yoga. Yoga btw is not a part of the Sikh faith. However, there is no harm in doing it for fitness etc. Kundalini yoga is not that common in India actually. It's practiced mainly by 3HO gora (white) Sikhs in New Mexico, US. Though it has spread in North America. But the vast majority of Punjabi / Indian Sikhs do not associate yoga with the Sikh faith at all. My suggestions (from experience) are take things slowly... don't jump in head first. Start by going regularly to the local gurdwara where you are, and do some seva there (help serve, or make rotis or do dishes etc). Get to know the sangat locally... they will be very supportive of you. (an Ashram btw is a Hindu temple isn't it?) Start doing paath (prayers... start with Japji Sahib) each day. Don't lose your identity though either... keep in mind that Punjabi culture, though deeply embedded in the Sikh faith, is separate from the actual religion. You don't have to assimilate the entire Punjabi culture to be Sikh. [/QUOTE]
