I'm a 18 yr old guy living in Delhi. I have kept my beard n hair. but now a days i feel sad to see around me sikhs with trimmed beard. my background is from rural punjab n there the condition is more bad.

sikhism is NOT dying. Nowadays religion is shown via the outside--the religious outerwear. Inside the mind is a different situation. I cut my hair BUT the love i have for sikhism and God inside me is..inevitable. There could be completely different religious thinking on the inside than the outside. Plus with your comment on sikhs being attractive to girls..that should not be the priority! the only priority should be loving and being one with God, not worrying about lust..

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA ATE WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH !!!

Dear Everyone! Sikhism will never be a dying religion on the contrary it is growing and is a religion of supreme courage and sacrifice which has been the main agenda for it being created by the Tenth Master Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj, the situation that sikhs are trimming their beards and cutting their hair are of trivial concern as SIKHI will be everlasting in the blood.In foreign countries like US, Canada, UK and other nations the love and respect for Sikhism is increasing as their is much awareness of sikhism. The real need of hour is spread more awareness about the history and findings will come out that a Sikh shows true test of character and spirit throughout his life and this cannot be equated by a person of any other religion. Creation of Khalsa solely does not involve sikhism as it was evolved quite prior in 1469 at the birth of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji who is the first Guru of Sikhs and continuing the legacy till Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji who is the supreme God of Sikhs. For the love of Khalsa Panth always say " WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA ATE WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH !!!" as this magical line will join all the sikhs in the world. This religion is undying, immortal and supreme in every manner as compared to any other religion. It is not the end but just the beginning. Do reach me at [email protected] if you feel the way a true Sikh feels.

The answer is No. Keeping kesh doesn't make anyone a Sikh. Otherwise, Guru Sahibs would not have blessed us with Sri Guru Granth Sahib (SGGS). A person is a Sikh if he or she follows SGGS and realise God everywhere and in everyone.

Kesh are part of human being like other body parts. If people like me do cut the kesh, we are simply not complete human beings. The uniform is necessary to be in disciplined but it's not sufficient. One has to study hard to get the degree.

Sikhism cannot die as a true religious person is a Sikh regardless of the culture, race or way of living. Keep spreading the message of SGGS and teach everyone it's meanings.
