In this [[Shabad]] on page 929, the Guru says that all his necklaces, hair-ties, decorations and adornments (ie. make-up) are singing the glorious praises of the Lord so obviously it is not wrong to decorate oneself as long as you accept and wear them with God in your mind. | |||

Did Guru Nanak Dev Ji told us Sikh people to believe in the Sect of Sikhism? or is it really the sikh people themself who did created it?
| ਜਾਣਹ ਜੋਤਿ ਨ ਪੂਛਹ ਜਾਤੀ ਆਗੈ ਜਾਤਿ ਨ ਹੇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ |
| Jĝṇhu joṯ na pūcẖẖahu jĝṯī ĝgai jĝṯ na hė. ॥1॥ rahĝo. |
| Recognize the Lord's Light within all, and do not consider social class or status; there are no classes or castes in the world hereafter. ॥1॥Pause॥ |
| ਖਤਰੀ ਬਰਾਹਮਣ ਸੂਦ ਵੈਸ ਉਪਦੇਸ ਚਹ ਵਰਨਾ ਕਉ ਸਾਝਾ ॥ |
| Kẖaṯrī barĝhmaṇ sūḝ vais upḝės cẖahu varnĝ kao sĝjẖĝ. |
| The four castes - the Kh'shaatriyas, Brahmins, Soodras and Vaishyas -are equal in respect to the teachings. |
| ਬਰਹਮਨ ਬੈਸ ਸੂਦ ਅਰ ਖਯਯਤਰੀ ਡੋਮ ਚੰਡਾਰ ਮਲੇਛ ਮਨ ਸੋਇ ॥ ਹੋਇ ਪਨੀਤ ਭਗਵੰਤ ਭਜਨ ਤੇ ਆਪ ਤਾਰਿ ਤਾਰੇ ਕਲ ਦੋਇ ॥੧॥ |
| Barahman bais sūḝ ar kẖayṯarī dom cẖandĝr malėcẖẖ man soė. Hoė punīṯ bẖagvanṯ bẖajan ṯė ĝp ṯĝr ṯĝrė kul ḝoė. ॥1॥ |
| Whether he is a Brahmin, a Vaishya, a Soodra, or a Kh'shaatriya; whether he is a poet, an outcaste, or a filthy-minded person, he becomes pure, by meditating on the Lord God. He saves himself, and the families of both his parents. ॥1॥ |
Guru ji told us that we are all equal but we have not listened properly. There are no sects in Guru Nanak's Sikhi! Hari Singhtalk 01:54, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Sikhism Tattoos and Earrings
Can Sikh guys use Earrings after being baptized as a Sikh? i don't think personally that would be a major sin to have earrings in both ears.. And are Tattoos allowed in Sikhism?
A: When one becomes possessed by these things then it becomes a wrong but if you do it so that it makes you comfortable with God then it is OK. read the article - Guru Granth Sahib on adornment for a more detailed analysis. If while wearing these decorations or decorating oneself - you connect better with God then go ahead but if it brings ego or makes you "full of yourself" then it is wrong. If you can remember God better with these things then great do it but if it takes you away from God then don't do it. Regards, Hari Singhtalk 23:29, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
can we Sikh male and females shave our hairs on our body ?
When a sikh male or female do take Amritdhari is it a must thing to grow the hairs around your body. And if not then please explain why?!
A: Strictly all Amritdhari Sikhs have to keep their long hair called kesh uncut. All Amritdharis MUST keep long head hair and all adult male must also have full beard. Matters to do with fine facial hair and armpits for women is debatable as I do not believe that these short hair can be called Kesh. The hukam refers to Kesh which is long hair and not facial or short hair.
REASON: The long head hair and beard are a clear symbol of a Sikh - Its the uniform stipulated by the hukam of Guru Gobind Singh.
Exceptions can be made for medical or health reasons. If it is impossible to operate without shaving the long hair on the head for all Sikhs or beard for men; then do ardas and allow the hair to be removed but grow it back as soon as possible as a sign to respect for the Guru. These days, most ops can be done without removing the hair. Always check with the medical staff.
Are Sikhism against singing and dancing?
I was wondering if singing and dance in sikhism are forbidden because those things in my opinion are meaningless! and if not why?
- No, singing and dancing are great traditions of Punjab which are encouraged and supported by Sikhi. The Guru tells us:
| ਹਉ ਵਾਰੀ ਜੀਉ ਵਾਰੀ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮਿ ਸਹਾਵਣਿਆ ॥ ਗਰਮਖਿ ਗਾਵੈ ਗਰਮਖਿ ਨਾਚੈ ਹਰਿ ਸੇਤੀ ਚਿਤ ਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ हउ वारी जीउ वारी हरि हरि नामि सढ़हावणिआ ॥ गढ़रमढ़खि गावै गढ़रमढ़खि नाचै हरि सेती चितढ़ लावणिआ ॥१॥ रहाउ ॥ |
| Hao vĝrī jīo vĝrī har har nĝm suhĝvaṇiĝ. Gurmukẖ gĝvai gurmukẖ nĝcẖai har sėṯī cẖiṯ lĝvaṇiĝ. ॥1॥ rahĝo. |
| I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to those who look beautiful in the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. The Gurmukhs sing, the Gurmukhs dance, and focus their consciousness on the Lord. ((1)(Pause)) |
Singing and dancing are great to lift ones mood and bring brightness into the mind; they also provide great exercise and are very beneficial for the circulation of blood in the body. However, when you sing and dance, remember that only by the Hukam of God are you enjoying all these wonderful activities. Keep your focus on the Almighty.
They are not meaningless if you do them with the correct frame of mind. Like many things in the world, you can use an activity for the benefit of man or to destroy them. Just like a murderer uses the knife wrongly to kill others, a surgeon uses his knife to save lives. Similarly, some use singing and dance to promote lust or sensual gratification while other use it to promote a community spirit and well-being of people.
can Sikhs colour their hairs?
I was wondering can Sikhs do colour their hairs?
A. The Guru tells us that decorating the body will not bring any lasting peace or happiness. However, on the other hand the scripture say that
| ਸਭਿ ਕਾਮ ਪੂਰੇ ਮਿਲਿ ਹਜੂਰੇ ਹਰਿ ਚਰਣ ਸੇਵਕਿ ਸੇਵਿਆ ॥ ਹਾਰ ਡੋਰ ਸੀਗਾਰ ਸਭਿ ਰਸ ਗਣ ਗਾਉ ਅਲਖ ਅਭੇਵਿਆ ॥ |
| Sabẖ kĝm pūrė mil hajūrė har cẖaraṇ sėvak sėviĝ. Hĝr dor sīgĝr sabẖ ras guṇ gĝo alakẖ abẖėviĝ. |
| All my desires have been fulfilled, meeting the Lord face-to-face; I am His servant, I serve at His feet. My necklaces, hair-ties, all decorations and adornments, are singing the Glorious Praises of the unseen, mysterious Lord. |
In this Shabad on page 929, the Guru says that all his necklaces, hair-ties, decorations and adornments (ie. make-up) are singing the glorious praises of the Lord so obviously it is not wrong to decorate oneself as long as you accept and wear them with God in your mind.
If you think that by colouring your hair you will be happy - forget it, that will never happen. But if it makes you feel more comfortable and you can still focus on God, then do it.
conversion to Sikhism
If your family are Muslims and you have studied the sikhism faith in about 2 years are you SAHAJDHARI or do you have to take the Amrit?..but you do follow your all principles.. which are needed as an good Sikh but you also got long hairs on your head. Can you still be a SAHAJDHARI? or do you have to .. take Amritdhari to become an good sikh?
Islam and Sikhism got alot of reltative but the differences are that Sikhism is a Punjabi religion and Islam is an Arabic religion their might be more differences.. but im just sorted it here!
is it true that SAHAJDHARI Sikhs cannot use Singh name ?
Is it true that SAHAJDHARI Sikh cannot use the Singh name as their last name or middel name?
Sahajdhari Sikhs
The reason of Sikhs should grow their hairs are because it would show more clear that your an Sikh.
But now days many Sikhs lives all over tha world and many Sikhs are popular in the Bhangra Sahajdhari are still Sikhs wether they deciding to keep their hairs unshorn.. your still a Sikh when you got a big symbol of Kara and your name tells a lot also..
I think we live in a modren world before in 50s people didn't know which religion other people do practice but now in 2008 people do know.. even im an SAHAJDHARI sikh with long hairs on tha head.. and with a kara.. i do use kaccha kara and.. kirpan but still without my turban people know i'm Sikh..
It's not a REAL REAL GUNNAH OR YOU WOULD BE PUNISHMENT .. for not growing your hairs.. but it just show you which religion do you practice.. but in my opinion if a person askin your name they would know your Sikh and if you got a Kara!
