Revision history [back]

This is the most interesting question i have ever come across in the Q&A section of the Sikhnet.

You haven't clarified whether you are a Sikh woman or a non-Sikh woman. The reason, if you are a non-Sikh woman then obviously you won't be following the Rehat or the Sikh Code of Conduct. There are sizable Sindhi speaking Hindus in India and in Pakistan who do respect Guru Granth Sahib Ji, they do keep the physical presence of Guru Granth Sahib Ji in their homes too without following the Rehat.

But if you are a Sikh woman then it is expected from you that you follow the basic tenets of Sikhism. In fact, you need to decide for yourself whether you would like to keep the Guru in your home or not.

Now, the issue before you is for the sake of acting you have to shave, tomorrow you might be compelled to take alcohol since you would be mingling with those kind of people where smoking, and drinking is not considered bad. In such high societies even having sex before marriage or outside marriage is considered to be perfectly okay.

So, on the one side you have all the pleasures of life to enjoy and on the other side is the Guru who demands strict Code of Conduct to be followed. But having said, i don't mean at all that you move the Guru to the Gurdwara. It's totally up-to you to decide what needs to be done. I am neither in favor that you keep the Guru in your home nor am i against keeping the Guru. You ought to listen to your own CONSCIENCE.
