Maintaining the Legacy of the Sikh Way of Life
Maintaining the Legacy of the Sikh Way of Life
Abstract
Within the Sikh Community, people frequently ask me how to raise their children to live exemplary lives like my daughter Snatam and my son Rishi, or some of my other children.
For many Sikhs, as is true for just about every other religion, there is little or no connection to the Rasa of the Dharma. One consequence of this, besides all too frequently leading lives that are bereft of meaning, is wide spread substance abuse within the community all around the world.
Inducing guilt or shame is not at all useful in addressing these issues, nor is expecting one’s children to lead Dharmic lives, while not being an inspiring example by living such lives. I will discuss these issues and pose solutions; putting forward what is possible and achievable.
