"As far cooking and keeping house is concerned there is no sikh way in these things at all."
Sure there is: keep house with an extra room for Guru, keep house in such a way as to wake up at 3 a.m., and as for cooking... there's a thread here called "fools who wrangle over flesh" that says there IS a sikh way to cook, or at any rate, a non-sikh way to cook.
Culture, frankly, is everything you do in your lifestyle, and if as amarsanghera says: "sikhi is your inner belief set which influences your lifestyle," then all that you do will flow from your belief set into your life, into your culture! Perhaps this is a difficulty of semantics.
kds ji, i must clarify: is it technically ok to worship with shabads in, say, reggae? provided the music is respectful to the material? Is it valid worship to sing kirtan in, say, english? This is only a part of my question. It's been busy in my corner, i hope i'm not rushing, and i do mean to ask a good solid question real soon. In the mean time...
I discovered that on Nov 24 we were celebrating "Guru Nanak Dev ji Prakash Utsav". But the place where i found it (You were Blocked) only discussed the dear Guru, without telling me what a Prakash Utsav is. Let me be clear: i love that particular site, it's very informative, but i find that many writers/webmasters take a lot for granted.
NOTE - not throwing stones at anybody!
This is the sort of thing that leaves me a little confused, feeling that if i don't know the language, i can't share the festivity.
