[QUOTE="Mai Harinder Kaur, post: 123821, member: 3558"] I was just reading "[B]Amritdhari: A Topic Looking for a Good Title"[B] [FONT=Century Gothic][SIZE=2]and thinking about commenting there. I guess I'll comment here, though, as it's more current. My opinion, not written in stone. I can't see for the life of me why anyone not either Amritdhari or working toward it would want to be a Sikh. Becoming an aspiring Khalsa is really just a second step on this journey. To begin with the 5 kakkars. I think anyone who doesn't look like a Sikh is missing a huge part of the Sikh experience. I would encourage women to tie turban partly for this reason. (There are others.) For 20 years, I threw my kakkars away, wanting to escape from being a Sikh. It didn't work, but it was a sad time of being apart. I did not always hold this opinion. For several years after our marriage, Mani was Amritdhari and we both lived the Khalsa lifestyle, but I balked at taking this step. Only after I was blessed with Amrit did I understand that there is more to this whole Khalsa thing than living according to certain rules, including the study of Gurbani and Naam-jap and such. Our already strong marriage became even stronger and happier. I think the main burden of being an aspiring Khalsa are the militant nonAmritdhari Sikhs. I do not know what their problem is. Amrit is open to any Sikh willing to accept it. We are not an exclusive society. Any Sikh willing to live as a Khalsa is welcome. We are all learners. I'm tired. Perhaps I'll write more later. I have much more to say. [/SIZE][/FONT][/B] [/B] [/QUOTE]
