Hi , just before i proceed i want to say thank you for the seva that you are doing for us youth.

I wrote in here before about my worry about hair (i had quite alot of hair) and since then i have been to the doctors and he has treated me with a hormone pill. It's been almost a year now and theres not much difference, im thinking its probably hereditory! Thats what the doctor thinks also. This really upsets me, because it means i will always have it! Since ages hair on my face and everywhere has been my only problem and being amritari now i cant even remove it. It depresses me alot. I dont have low self esteem usually but having this hair has been afecting me for years. Im realy torn with what to do. God has made others girls with not much hair, why did he give me so much. i should be coming off the pill now aswell because i cant have it all my life due to side effects.

Please reply to this! I know its so sad that i think about it all the time. I know i have nice features but the hair ruins them on my face. I wish i didnt have so much hair. Ive tried doing more parth and simran but to no avail, its on my mind everytime i look in the mirror. I hate it! I tried bleaching, but dont like it because the hairs still there. Please help, it really bothers me! I know other girls have beards and stuff and i should be happy about that i dont, but i have hair where noone does, its basically everywhere. There isnt a part on my body where there isnt hair. Please what can i do. Is it wrong to do ardaas to god to not wanting so much of it. I wouldn't mind if it wasnt so long and noticable, so im not asking god to completely remove it. Please help! please respond, ive tried writing other messages but they not been up on this board or responded to. please respond.

Kiran,

I am going to answer you as a yogi. According to yogic science there is no purpose to the hair on the woman's face, except the eye brows. Therefore, there is nothing wrong about having hair on the face removed. As Sikhs we do things because they have a purpose. There is purpose for the eyebrows, the legs, under the arms, etc...but not the face of a woman. So, that is my yogic perspective. Do what you feel is best for your consciousness and life. Every woman has the right to feel beautiful. Most women around shave their legs, but I really believe the reason for not, so I put up with harry legs. I do bleach them in the summer and that helps a lot...when I want to wear a bathing suit in public. I hope this helps you. Blessings. GTKK
