[QUOTE="Mai Harinder Kaur, post: 159190, member: 3558"] [b]Re: To celebrate or not?[/b] Lion Prince Jatinder ji, I have been stewing over things you have written for a while now and I really feel the need to break the rules I have set for myself and demand, er, ask politely, for your honest response. You talk about this Kshatriya dharam stuff a lot. My understanding is that caste and varna have no place in Sikhi. Those of us who are Amritdhari explicitly renounce those and they have vanished forever from our lives. My dharam is that of a Khalsa sant-sipahi. I fulfill that very imperfectly, of course, but I do try. "Kshatria dharam" has no place in my life. Before you say that I might as well be a brahmin, permit me to present my credentials: I am an Amritdhari Sikh, an aspiring Khalsa. In addition to that which is required of all Khalsa, I have sacrificed a husband, a son, two daughters and two brothers to Guru Khalsa Panth in one blow. I also nearly achieved shaheedi myself, but my destiny is different and I am still here, living in this body. I also dispatched at least one and possibly more of the enemies of the Sikh Kaum to hell. I have authored a blog, [URL="http://roadtokhalistan.blogspot.com/"]The Road To Khalistan[/URL], which has the details of the above events, writing about them at a time when I could find no personal accounts written in English. I continued writing the blog as a place to attempt to build up the Panth by writing of current Sikh issues in ways that I hoped would help unite and strengthen the Sikh Kaum. Specifically, I have advocated for an independent Sikh homeland and the cessation of the murder of our daughters. I have recently retired after my second husband's death, to give me the opportunity to regroup and regain some physical health. I will not speak of sewa I have performed. That is private and better left unsaid. I neither hunt nor eat meat, although I do not condemn those who do. If no other nourishment were available, I would see nothing wrong in sustaining my physical life by meat. My shastars have no tilak of blood, and they have served me and the Panth well. I am not boasting or trying to raise myself up. These are just the simple facts of my life. This is what I have given to the Panth. I now ask you to please present your credentials. What have you given to the Panth that gives you the authority to tell other Sikhs, including myself, that we "might as well be brahmins." [/QUOTE]
