Help! My Wife Wants to Raise Our Kids to Be Nudists.

Our son is now 6 years old and my daughter is 3. My children are being raised in the nude, the same way my wife was raised. They get home from school and their clothes come off.

He was martyred mercilessly in front of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji it was done so that 9th Guru may change his decision and convert to Islam but he never did neither his followers Bhai Mati Das Ji,Bhai Dyala Ji,Bhai Sati Das Ji so Aurangzeb couldn't convert Kashmiri Pandits either as they started a revolt against these fanatics and this supreme sacrifice willingly lead to enthusiasm among weak and oppressed ones. Pandit Kirpa Dutt a Saraswat Brahman was a Kashmiri Pandit too who became Kirpa Singh Dutt and later sacrificed himself in Final Battle of Chamkaur for 10th Sikh Guru. Another Kashmiri pandit Gangu (Ganga Ram Kaul father of Raj kaul) was also a Kashmiri Pandit he came at time of 9th Sikh guru b
