lol! i mean oi! that otta order!

i understand what ur saying- its just that its hard. Also i was unsure because i have seen girls who have taken amrit who have done their eye brows so i wasn't 100% sure if it was not allowed. And you weren't harsh- i respect ur opinion! i know its not about looks and its about guruji but as a young person its really hard not to think about what u look like- i guess its something we have to overcome!

yeah i we R even!

ur weren't harsh, i respect ur opinion. Its just that people are more open about dastars in english culture, like my brother wears one as does my dad any people who are english respect them for that. However for girls there is alot more question asking as its not well known that girls too arent allowed to remove hair. Also the reason why i was unsure was coz i know girls who have taken amrit and still do remove hair from their eye brows!

personally learning panjabi is the key to keeping Sikhi in a household- it makes u understand ur culture, and most importantly helps u read Gurbani! i was lucky enough to be blessed with a family full of punjabi speaking people and close relaties who teach punjabi at GCSE level! i got my punjabi GSCE when i was 13!

i'm gona rephrase my question as basically it made me seem un aware of the five k's. In todays society it is very hard for sikh women as removal of hair is forbidden in the sikh religion which clashes with the western view of women having bushy eye brows and hair on their legs as disgusting. My friend is Amrit tari n basically she went to a waterpark in spain as part of a school trip. She didnt go in to the water while all her friends did. When she came back and told me i felt sooo sorry for her. So do you think hair removal is justified in England for a Sikh woman. I can guess that i'm prbably going to get replies such as sikhism promotes equality and if a man can't cut his beard than why should a woman be allowed to and also that hair removal is against sikhi. But i just want peoples opinions on the matter.

its is a nice story! i shows the struggles that sikh women go through in a western society

that happened to me once- i was at the gurudwara and this ragi was playing- you might know him as Rangila- and i just kept singing and there was this sweet smell coming from somewhere and the kirtan was soo peaceful and just touched you inside that my eyes started welling up with tears! i felt so at peace and content!

"british sikhs get waay 2 much freedom" well i disagree- freedom has nothing to do with it, its people who abuse the trust of there parents who end up like that. And yes it indian culture that treats gals an guys differently- not sikhi!

Is eyebrow plucking allowed in Sikhism?

Is eye brow plucking allowed in sikhism? I just want to hear peoples opinions on the matter!

in some southall gurudwaras there have been complaints that too many certain types of people are coming just to eat langar- do you see that as wrong? just asking everyone opinions on the matter personally i dont feel anyone has the right to judge but what do you think?

i duno if this directly relates to ur point- but there is a new culture in britain- the culture of british asians i'm a youth and have kept my hair as my parents have made me understand from when i was 3 what was scarificed so sikhs can keep there hair. When other kids were reading stories about winnie the pooh i was being read stories about our guru's but as i grew up i came into contact with a new culture at skool where kids do stuff behind there parents backs n go out with guys who there parents wud dissaprove of- but i wud never do that as my parents trust me and i wud never betray there trust. In my opinion this new view towards sikhi depends on how u react to your surroundings- if you decide to change your view on sikhi or keep to the one that you have thats your own choice- at the end of the day if a youth enjoys sikhi and believes in god then thats fine Religion should be something you enjoy - so if the new generation believe and worship god in there own way and there happy thats wot counts i guess and as long as they themselves and waheguru know that they havent commited any sins then who am i to judge? what i've written above is probably not very clear but i hope you understand what i'm trying to say!

wen it originally started the railroad builders from india did the seva!

my Grandad help set up that gurudwara! our family was invited to the 100th anniversary of the gurudwara's opening!

a question Guru Nanak Dev Ji removed the thread stating that it could get dirty and was worthless. Then why do Sikhs celebrate Rakhri by tying a thread around there brother asking for protection. Firstly it makes Women seem weak and secondly the thread is worthless. That jus my opinion!

i have thought it over and i dont c y i have 2 hold back my social life due to people gossiping and judging me- as long as i myself and waheguru know that i havent commited a sin then why shoud anyone else have a problem with it? thats the problem of our society and culture not mine! i went to a skool prom recently n den went london afterwards and i came bk at 2'oclock! its the latest i've cum bk home eva. Yeah der were fools who drunk, gals n guys who were together but i had fun with my friends! i neva did anything stupid n i had fun! my parents knew who i was with, where we were n yeah there r sum bibi's who said i shudnt b allowed but my parents trusted me and in return i'm gonna respect that trust and not do anything stupid. going clubbing- yeah it does clash i admit and there r stories of sikh gals being targeted but as long as you stay with friends who u trust and with crowds, stay in control n not drink plus hav a fun time i dunt c how u can go rong.

personally i feel that as an sikh youth member i am likely to go clubbing when i'm older- but i know i wunt do anything that isnt right. i have faith in myself. At the moment many of my friends drink, many smoke n do drugs etc but i am not tempted in the slightest coz i see what state there in afterwards and my parents have taught me right from wrong and showed me the way Guru Ji has told us to live. to me thats a blessing because i have a gift many dont. I can read panjabi and do kirtan and i like doing it. I do it out of choice not because i am forced in to it!
