Tamara Marie Rebiffé replied to Tamara Marie Rebiffé's discussion Wanting to start wearing a turban"Thank you Akaljeet. You are right. I need to make a decision and not turn back"
Akaljeet Singh replied to Tamara Marie Rebiffé's discussion Wanting to start wearing a turban"Sat sri akaal Tamara,
My experience is that you must stand 100% behind the decision to do this (otherwise it does not work and you will put off the turban after some negative reactions from others I think).
Sometimes you have to explain…"
Harpreet Singh Nanda replied to Tamara Marie Rebiffé's discussion Wanting to start wearing a turban"It is important that we go deep in our own religion and understand things e.g. lighting diyas in mandir, candles in church and ringing bells etc. is of no use but to understand what it actually signifies.
If you look from top all religions look…"
Harpreet Singh Nanda posted a discussionI have a question
My question is suppose I have a lecture on Monday and I slept on time to wake up early morning to attend my lecture. But due to my laziness I didn't wake up on time for my lecture and missed it.So, the question is this my laziness or babaji's will due to reasons which are unknown to human beings? Your ans will be appreciated n thnx in advance :)Waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fatehSee More
Tamara Marie Rebiffé posted a discussionWanting to start wearing a turban
I am an unbaptised Sikh. My parents are still unable to recognize my decision to convert to Sikhism from Christianity, and I'm tired of waiting for their approval. I worry it will never come. I am a light skinned, blonde haired and blue eyed woman, and I would like to wear the turban. I bought a white one over a week ago. I am concerned about how my parents will react when they see me wearing one. (For the record, I am 21 years old and I have been living on my own for two years, so I know this…See More
Tamara Marie Rebiffé replied to Jasnoor the Sikh's discussion Unbaptized Sikhs"I have not yet been baptised either. The closest gurdwara to me is about a 20-25 minute bus ride, and although I don't speak Punjabi, I have not heard anyone say that there is a certain about of time needed to spend at a gurdwara. I go when…"

Sat Sri Akal Dear Sangat Ji,
It's amazing how quickly time flies by. I still remember that snowy evening when idea of creating community for New Sikhs came to my mind. It was my birthday and I was waiting for my dearest to come back home who were stuck in heavy snowfall.
So it wasn't bad idea after all. Since the launch 30.000 people visited NTS. It had 127.000 page views from 120 countries. Although at some point, I was considering closing it down because I could not keep up (I'm a mom and working full time) but how can I just abandon it now?
So now I have bigger plans for it even if it means I’ll have less sleep.
Do you think we need New To Sikhi? Leave me a comment here.
Yours truly, Danka

Once Guru Nanak happened to visit Hardwar town.
There he saw some people throwing handfuls of water from river Ganges, towards
the sun in the east. They believed that by this ritual they could offer water to their
dead elders in the next world.
Guru Nanak went into the river and started throwing water towards the west.
As those people saw the Guru acting strange, they forgot their ritual.
They flocked to the Guru and laughed at his funny action. They…

It is a long story, but about a year I was given an addictive medication by my doctor at the time. I did not know it was addictive until I suddenly stopped taking it. I want t make clear that in my past I have done wrong things, but I am not a drug addict at all at this point in my life. I have ecomevery ill from this medication and have to keep taking it so that I can taper off of it slowly. The effects of this are both physically and psychologically painful. I pray every night for things…
Continue Maintaning my practices without the Gurudwara
Posted by Savera on January 22, 2012 at 18:30 2 Comments 0 Likes
It can be extremely challenging at times. There are no Gurudwaras around me so I don't have the option of forming any connections with other Sikhs in my day to day life. I know I'm not the only one with this issue. The things that help me a lot are just continuing to read the SGGS and nitnem. I find myself watching a lot of videos online about Sikhi and the history of Sikhs. I play the radio stations on Sikhnet a lot and try to converse with ther Sikhs online as much as possible. Hopefully…
