[QUOTE="aristotle, post: 193788, member: 11816"] Sandhu Ji, As I see most of your frustration stems from the hard-fastedness of the Akhand Kirtani Jatha. AKJ does not equal Sikhi or the Sikh Panth. The AKJ stipulates some conditions which are additonal to the Sikh Rehat Maryada, and that is entirely up to them, but they are not binding on Sikhs who do not follow the AKJ way-of-life. SRM should be our only guiding light. According to the Sikh Rehat Maryada, a faithful isn't deprived of his right to partake Amrit if the spouse is unwilling to accompany him in this ceremony. In fact, it is a very personal choice, and requires personal commitment. AKJ may have their wierd rules, but that is not the Sikh Rehat Maryada. No one can deprive you of something the Guru himself had made you worthy. Same with me... Bingo! On the contrary, [i]bana[/i] is as important as the [i] bani[/i]. In fact, Guru Maharaj himself ordained the Sikhs to sport the Kakaars, that was the bani of the Guru. If someone wants to cherry pick however, I'm no one to judge. But, Sikhi certainly does nor encourage this kind of cherry picking. That you are willing to let go the idea of partaking Amrit because of the simple reproach of an old man hints me that maybe you weren't keen on it in the first place. If I were you, and I were serious about getting Amrit, I would have tried to find a Sikh Gurdwara or fellowship who follow the Sikh Rehat Maryada and obtain the Amrit, or atleast try to do so. Giving up in a fatigued manner at the first minor roadblock are not the signs of a serious player. You want to be a Sikh 'not from the face' or 'not only from the face'? As I see, both have a sea-difference of meaning. As you have called them 'pakhandi' and 'akhauti' yourself, I fail to see why you are cross over what they think about your position in the faith. A word of caution however, if you are equating the Kakaars and Amrit ceremony with the 'pakhand' of these Babas and self-proclaimed sects, you may be completely mistaken. Godspeed on the path of the Guru. Stay blessed always. [/QUOTE]
