K4ur Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 (For a girl) What if one of your parents do not allow you to take Amrit? Or get angry at the idea.... how is that person supposed to act? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowest of the low singhni Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 I'd try showing them gurbani and try to convince them about the importance of taking Amrit...I bet eventually if they didn't agree I'd probably sneak out to the amrit sanchar ceremony secretly anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherni-E-Punjab Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Dont worry about what your parents or friends say. Gurbani says all emotional bonds are finite and only your relationship with Satguru is eternal! 8) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Javanmard Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 Sometimes parents can be your worst ennemies when it comes to Sikhi. In Guru Gobind SIngh's rahitname there is explicit mention of amrit for women. But it's not khande di pahulbut kirpan da amrit. You can still get that one at Hazur Sahib which still has theoldest maryada of all. Maharaj comes first then your parents!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Punjabi Nationalist Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 (For a girl) What if one of your parents do not allow you to take Amrit? Or get angry at the idea.... how is that person supposed to act? Perhaps you should wait awhile until you are old enough for your parents not to be able to stop you from taking Amrit. There is no need to rush into anything, be patient, you will take Amrit eventually if that is what you want. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Javanmard Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 Dear Punjabi nationalist. I am sorry but parents have no say in terms of amrit. If a girl is old enough and intelligent enough to take her own decision then she should take it. I think that after 17 or 18 a young person (boy or girl) can make choices in life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friend, that was basically what i was pointing out. I have assumed that 'K4ur' is in her early teens, if im mistaken and she is older, than please accept my apologies. lalleshvari is right, once you're 18, you should be quite capable of making your own decisions in life, and are considered as an adult by law. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Javanmard Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 Yes, you're right. The problem is that in many Sikh families parents don't want girls to take amrit because they think the chances of her getting a husband afterwards could be ruined. How horrible. Then again it also has to do with the way how certain amritdhari girls have behaved i.e. adopting AKJ type of bana, behaving like boys etc... A lot girls are not even aware that there is a special amrit for women called kirpan da amrit mentioned in the Rahitname. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j kaur Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 vjkk vjkf hi I wondering if you could explain to me why there is this separate amrit for woman? if there is equality and ppl from different castes take amrit from the same bata then why is there a separate amrit for women? :? Sorry i'm still learning about sikhi and might have got everything wrong in which case I’m very sorry . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Javanmard Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 equal does not neceseraly mean the same. In clear language: Girls do not have a wali and boys do not have titties! we're different yet we are one! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowest of the low singhni Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 ..I think everyone knows the physical difference between boys and girls - thanks for the reminder.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Javanmard Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 you're welcome! I just did it because some people get the wrong impression that being an amritdhari girls means to wear a dastar etc... which is wrong because the rahitname clearly say that dastar is for men and chunni for women. Yet in times of war girls can wear turban but then again it was a different type of turban. LIke this one : check http://www.exoticindiaart.com/product/MB73/ it's a hunting turban for girls 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowest of the low singhni Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 er.. The Akal Takht rehtmaryada says that women are welcome to wear a turban. there's nothing on what style it needs to be etc. (Anyways you can start another thread on that topic if you want) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those big earrings of her are gonna get caught up in the bushes. Women should wear a turban. Rehat should be the same for both men and women.
