Aad Ji..BAJJAR KUREHIT is a major infarction....
one of FOUR...
1. Dishonouring the KESH
2. Consumption of TOBACCO and other dugs/intoxicants
3. Consumption of Halal Meat
4.SEX OUTSIDE MARRIAGE
ANY one or combination..makes one an APOSTATE..requiring appearance before the PANJ, confession, and the Panj will then dish out a Penance..like so many Japji sahib paaths/community service/ etc...and then READMINISTER Khandey dee Pahul once more to readmit the apostate. He she will not be publicly humiliated/made known.
If the following were good enough for the Gurus to contribute to the Guru Granth Sahib, then why do Sikhs take such a strong stance against hair cutters? :
Kabir, Namdev, Ravidas, Sheikh Farid, Trilochan, Dhanna, Beni, Sheikh Bhikan, Jaidev, Surdas, Parmanand, Pipa, Ramanand
Sadhna: 1 hymn
A butcher by profession, Bhagat Sadhana was born in Sind. His piety and meditation of God elevated him to saintly status. He was condemned by Brahmins and on a false charge was arrested and buried alive.
Sain: 1 hymn Bhagat Sain
was a barber of the royal court of Raja Ram, king of Rewa. He was a follower of Bhagat Ramanand and Bhagat Kabir.
The Bhatts
Kal, Kalsahar, Tal, Jalap, Jal, Kirat, Sal, Bhal, Nal, Bhikha, Jalan, Das, Gayand, Sewak, Mathura, Bal, Harbans
Personally I would agree with a more basic definition of a Sikh - one who strives for God. I agree that in the greater scheme of things prostitution is WRONG and if one is searching for God, one would abandon this, in the same way that cutting the hair is about physical appearance and changing onself from the way we are made... but for goodness sake... who is to say what is in a person's heart? Why is their SUCH A BIG emphasis on APPEARANCE?
One can appear like the holiest person in the world, and still have a DIRTY HEART!
