[QUOTE="a lost sikh, post: 12857, member: 1615"] I am not saying we should be changing anything in what makes us Sikh as was set out by the Guru. Our youth are not running away from having the physical appearance of a Sikh, they are running away because that seems to be the most important think lately and not what is inside. We are showing our children that it is important to look a certain way to be accepted, and that our inner being comes second. I think having the ban will be saying that unless you look the part you do not belong in the Gurdwara and that is not right. The Gurdwara is a place for everyone regardless of race religion or gender to come and pray. I myself am not a Puran Sikh but when I took my vows they were (and are) the most important and sacred thing I have ever done. I think given the option I would never have wanted to be marred in any other way. A part of me was joined with God and my husband in a way that could not happen in any other way. Until you have experienced a oness with God in the Gurdwara you have no idea the peace that comes over a person. Like I said I am not Sikh in your terms but I have experienced something with God that proves to me that I can be just as close and accepted by our Guru as someone who is a Gursikh and there is nothing that anyone can say that can prove otherwise. [I][U]We need to grow up and not feel the need to show that any choice our kids make are prefectly correct...admit it, our kids do wrong, lets not make them think their choices are completely correct. We need to tell them, and show them, that certain choices are NOT on the lines of Sikhi. We should not change Sikhi just because the youth follow a trend that changes rapidly. Nor am I telling you to completely excommunicate your child.[/U][/I] I completely agree with your statement here, parents need to teach their children right from wrong. I also believe that once we have taught them that they need to choose to be a Sikh. Once they make that choice they will follow that path of the Guru, if you tell them that they must they, in most cases, will not follow from the inside out but from the outside and potentially from within. In short I am not saying change the ideals and the path that we are to follow. All I am saying is the ban will keep people from coming to the Gurdwara and if they are not coming they are not given the chance to be a part of the sangaat where they will have the chance to experience that oness with our Guru. I believe that our vow to our Guru is from within our hearts and not by the way we look. Not to say that it is not important to follow the "features" as set out but God is in our hearts. A shepherd would not let a lost sheep wonder about aimlessly, he would try to bring it to where the rest of his sheep are so that it will not stray again. [/QUOTE]
