Sat Nam jee,

Its great to know that you respect Sikhs who maintain their identy and have high regard for those who gave up their lives for the religion.

Triming hair in no way makes it healty!! hair goes for its roots and not its tips so triming slpit ends is of no use. Wash you hair regularlyand use good quality porducts to ensure the well being for you hair.

Some rehit maryada's alow people to eat meat that this jhatka meat( personaly i do not liek this idea, i have been a veg. since birth i never like meat! and i am very healty i play sport to for proteins i eat dal, cheese drink milk eat chocolates). As for altering you appearence, on the main forrum there had been a discussion not to long ago about this topic. Putting on a little make up or bleaching facial hair to look more presntable is perfectly alright. Guru jee gave us the Kanga and the bana to look neat a presntable.

I have some articles which talk about the imprtance of kesh and the appearence.
if you are intrested in reading them please email me([email protected]) and i'll pass them to u , they are in pdf format and quite long so i have not pasted them here.

As for Amrit, guru jee will signal to you when is the correct time. I took it when i was a 8 yr old kid but after 2 odd yrs i lost intrest, when i hit puberty, i had even started having an ocassional drink but last yr when i was helping ou tat the Gurudawara sahib, i started doing paath again and now i wear all my 5 K's and i plan to be take amrit again before Viskahi next yr..

Dont worry to much about what people have to say..as long as you are a good person at heart God will be with you.

Guru Rakaha
