  • While Sikh theology and code of conduct is not supposed to approve of superstitions, in practice some times some Sikhs have been observed to persist with some superstitious practices, including even some of those followed with influence of other communities. For example sneezing before important event is considered inauspicious, and certain days of the week are considered taboo for washing of the hair. Newlyweds are welcomed by an oil pouring ritual. Sightings of a bird called 'Baaj' (variously translated as hawk/falcon/eagle) are considered auspicious. One of the points of the Sikh Rehat Maryada states that a single soul or entity existed in ten Gurus. Aartis are performed on certain occasions at certain places while rehat maryada does not prescribe the same. A substantial amount of milk is used to wash floor of the Golden Temple. The Sikh diaspora is seen to compromise or oppose safety and security measures of various institutions of countries to maintain their hair-related practices. (en)
