Re: Blessing /Ardaas for KaraI personally prefer an iron kara, but that's just me.If it looks like a kara, smells like a kara, has the meaning of a kara to the wearer but a magnet won't stick, it is a kara. I think Sikhi is primarily about love and service and devotion. Some rules are necessary, but getting bogged down with rules, to me, is silly. Who am I to decide for someone else? If someone tells me it's a kara, I won't argue with them. Leave that to the jathedars; I'd really rather be doing sewa or simran or something.
