I have a question. . Why do u see white sikhs always wearing white only but punjabi Sikhs dont wear all white all the time they wear many bright colours. At the gurdwara I have only seen the priests wear all white and no one else especially not the women?? But white sikhs always in all white clothes

@jasmine_moonlight or maybe she fell in love with Sikhi itself...

@jasmine_moonlight colour doesn't matters in sikhism, this was there choice to wear White colour Keski or anyother. But point to be concern they are more attached to Sikhism then our punjabi boys at least they respect Sikhi

Vaheguroo ji, not really sure why Japjeet bhenji adopted Sikhi, but I'm sure she loves being a sikh, especially now she is practicing.. Sikhi is growing rapidly, because people love being spiritual.. It makes sense to every human being. Spirituality has the answers to the suffering mind.. How can we avoid and not love being Sikhs.. Japjeet bhenji is also a practicing doctor. Professional Sikhs is always nice to see. @jasmine_moonlight

Like veer @hpsingh09 said.. Colour is not really of significance in Sikhi.. There are 4 colours we tend to wear and they are, saffron (yellowey/orange, blue, white and black.. Green and pinky/red are usually stayed away from, simply because green is very closely linked to Islam and pinky/red to Hinduism.. So we let other faiths be... Most practicing Sikhs try to remain simple in their life style, ie clothes, food, etc.. This usually keeps the mind focussed on naam and less on materialistic things.. Helps keeps us detached from materialism.. The white Sikhs usually wear all white, because white is a very pure, spiritual, loving colour.. And it's more a uniform they've adopted, which Is a good discipline to have.. Punjabi Sikhs also wear white but not religiously.. They tend to go for the more blue of the Nihangs, more the warrior race. However this does not make them less spiritual.. Usually when we come to the gurdwara, it's best coming simple and not flashing too many bright colours, as the mind (eyes) catch on very quickly and mind is broken away from naam or teachings.. Simplicity will always come through the love of naam changing the way we think.. Everything else becomes less important when we fall in love with God.. On the other hand we can have everything in the world, as long as we remain detached from it and it doesn't break us away from the main focus of naam meditation.. All I can say is keep taking steps, keep meditating and Guru sahib himself will spiritually guide you. If we didn't have Sikhi, we would mentally die.. It's the only substance that guides us to be joyous, peaceful and loving in this dark world.. @jasmine_moonlight

@sikhi_game0flove I'm a white american, and when I go to my local Gurudwara, many ask me who I'm with or what brings me there (asking if I'm there with or for a man). I tell them guru ji's kirpa brought me there. I'm head over heels in love with our gurus and with sikhi. many of us that find sikhi (not born into it) have been living this way all our lives,..we just never knew it had a name. one of the foundations of sikhi is equality among all, and I've been welcomed with open arms into the local sikh community. Sikhi is so, so beautiful. we are all needed to spread guru ji's teachings, if we want to live in a better world. For anyone struggling (or NOT struggling), please visit @basicsofsikhi YouTube channel. it's helped me find the love of my life (Sikhi) without being locked out by language. #wjkkwjkf ๐

Wow @kara_kara1234, the write up above was beautiful to read. It explains Sikhi in a nutshell :).. So glad you have found the True Guru.. Keep going dear sister and inspire many more on this beautiful path.. Aah thankyou for the kind words bhenji.. Je de vadyaaee ta teree vadyaaee (all praise goes to our Guru, if he didn't take pity on us, we would never be in the position to do Seva).. He lifts us out of the dirt and sits us amongst diamonds.. Vjkk vjkf dear sister ๐
