Waheguru ji ka khalsa Waheguru ji ki fathe

I am a amritdhari and i have some question.
first i want to ask u something abt kachera i read here that a girl can wear also an boxer short as kashera. is it realy right?and does rehat maryada allow it ? its realy a problem while a gal get her periods and if u want to wear jeans sometimes kasheria creats problems.

My second question is, is a sikh allow to marry a non sikh? in reha maryada there is written that a sikh have to marry only a sikh. Can u plz clear this.

my third question is that we dont see the gurus as prophets we see them more than just a prophet so the question is what is the difference between guru and prophet?

my forth question is wut does sikhism say abt homo sexual people. As we now sikhi doesnt go against the discilpine of natur ... and that means god has only made mam and woman. so its against the natur to be homosexual isnt it ? isnt it the influence of surrounding and our own will ?

thanks a lot , u guys are realy doing a great job

Guru Fathe


P.S. my english isnt good sry if it was difficult to understand wut i meant

Sat nam. Answer to most of your questions are already on this site. Search (1) rehit maryada or kachera; (2)Sikh and non-Sikhs marry, search marriage section and then non-Sikh; (4) search homosexual or gay. Use the search bar on the site for these.
(3) Prophets were just that. They prophesied and foretold and also taught. Our Gurus were enlightened beings just like Moses, Abraham and Jesus the Christ, but they were teachers and showing us how to be Sikhs and householders. Only prophecy I can think of that we take note of today is 10th Guru saying 960 million we shall be. But in the end the difference is semantical. Both prophets and Gurus taught and lived their lives as examples of spiritually enlightened beings.
