[QUOTE="Hukum Kaur, post: 12550, member: 1503"] [b]Re: Sikh women and dastaars????[/b] I am happy to have found this thread, I would like to share an interesting personal experience regarding Sikh women and turbans: Just last Sunday I went to Gurdwara in Oslo, for I am traveling now. I got there at 9:00 am and did my Seva and bowed to the Guru. When I got up, a woman with a head scarf came out to me and she said, "I have been praying every morning for 15 years to be strong enough to wear what you are wearing" And she looked up at my white cloth turban, tied the way the women do. This shocked me and I told her, 'you are strong enough!' Gurdwara started at 11:00 and the left side of the room filled with women and the right side filled with men. Almost every man, in his turban. I the only woman, out of one hundred people, who wore a turban. Their were many Karas (some women had them on the right wrist and this confused me) and many head scarfs. I did not attempt to inquire during Kirtan, and all of the people were Indian so I wasn't sure who spoke English. Now, I am back in the country side by the fjords of Norway visiting my mother who does not 'allow' ANY religious symbols, head dress included. We debate about this a lot and agree to disagree. She Says if you need to show it then you are causing conflict and don't really have it within you. I say, it is an expression of my spirit and it effects my consciousness and reminds me of who I really am. I believe in expressing God consciousness and not letting the ignorance of people effect my actions, for it is between God and me. Me and God are One. So God is indifferent to what I wear, but favors what draws me closer to Him. My head dress protects my consciousness, the way a shawl protects one's heart center. Not everyone can understand the level of sensitivity that comes with the awakening to the unseen, so they see a statement that they don't understand and defiance is put up. It is like a vegetarian who gets lectured by an omnivore for not eating meat as he/she peacefully and quietly chews. I hope to inspire others to be pure, and I pray that I cause as little conflict as possible. However, the conflict the turban has caused between my mother and I has 'forced' us to open up and talk about real issues. However I am not as strong as the woman at the temple thought. I do not wear a turban out here, and I don't know if I will when I go to London for 2 weeks. Any advise on what to do in London? Only good can come out actions that have God as their intent and I hold my head the highest when it is wrapped. However I am tempted to just blend in and be introvert except in action. Any words SPN Sangat? Thank you for listening, Sat Naam Wahe Guru ...once again, excuse spelling... [/QUOTE]
