a bit off topic - how does this relate to certain foods being rajoguni, satoguni and tamoguni? I've heard that satoguni foods are good for keeping your munn shant....but don't know which foods fall in which category

The old days were good - having met some of the early singhs e.g. Inder Singh Gill & Tara Singh Dogra, I can confirm this. The situation today is different - There are hardly any Singhs (young or old) with untrimmed Dhara or with interest in Sikhi.

Tourists often mistake African members of the Akorino sect of Christians with Sikhs due to their turbans - there are no African Sikhs to speak of in Kenya - the employees at Makindu Gurudwara are required to cover their heads and many choose to do this with starch pughs.

I know loads of ex-East Africa Sikhs get nostalgic but the truth of what is happening to our community here hurts....

3HO are here? i haven't seen them yet.....as for the 'Sikhs' here - they def not doing great on dharmik level.....no parchar to speak of, at least not in Nairobi

Hemp protein is widely available in UK health food shops - has anyone on here tried it? (it's non-intoxicating btw)

the following recipe reminds me of something I saw in India!

from www.yaoh.co.uk:

Hemp Seed Milk

Perhaps the biggest gift the hemp plant has for mankind lies within the seed. Anyone can access the full nutritional impact of the hemp seed by following this simple recipe:

* Take some organic fresh hemp seed and soak for 24 hours in distilled water with a few organic almonds.

* Drain, rinse and blend in a blender with a little distilled water.

* Strain through a cloth or sieve.
