'''[[Turban]]''' is closely associated with [[Sikhism]]. Sikhism is the only religion in the world in which wearing a [[turban]] is mandatory. Vast majority of people who wear turbans in the Western countries are [[Sikh]]s. The Sikh ''pagdi'' (ਪਗੜੀ)(turban) is also called ''dastaar'' (ਦਸਤਾਰ), which is a more respectful word in [[Punjabi]] for the turban. Sikh's are famous for their distinctive turbans. The turban represents respectability, and is a sign of nobility. [[Guru Gobind Singh]] gave all of his [[Sikh]]s turbans to recognize the the high moral status that the [[Khalsa]] has to adhere to.  '''[[Turban| Continued.....]]'''

We should not increase our burden of karmas by eating higher life forms. There is karmic value in every kind of thing we use in this world. The air we consume, the water we use, we have to pay for.

The light of the sun or moon is also not free...and this green grass is also to be paid for - nothing is free. Everything has a Karmic value.

Depending on the "Jun" (life-form), there is a price to be paid. Lower life forms have a lower price to pay. Fruits and plants have a lower spiritual price than animal life forms. So why take the higher burden?

We now refer to this sensitivity with new and fancy words like "our green foot print", "environmentally friendly", "eco-friendly", etc. However, all these words narrow down to a way of life that does the least damage to the world.

If you are to construct a house, you don't make it using gold or silver or jewels. If you can, you make the house of stone - Stone is very strong and cheap. So, why don't you make your own house with stone and brick instead of gold? This body is like a house. .....More
