We Are All Sikh

[Guest dasguruka]

I would like to add that extreme Westernization is not the answer to perfecting Sikhism in an. This is like picking and choosing things so it fits your agenda of Sikhi.

Having a really good standard of living is not equal to practicing a religion and expecting fruitful gains in return. If that was the case then we would see religion prospering in Western countries. However, this is not the case. Atheism is actually the belief system that is popular in the West. This is a HUGE blunder in my opinion.

Sikhism, as I see it, begins with taking Amrit and keeping rehit. SIkhism welcomes everyone. Everyone religion welcomes people from all corners of the world. But at the same time all religions have ways where they initiate a person into religion.

Just because one person is well educated, raised in a western country, holds a respectable position in the community is not going to make him/her a better Sikh than a person who lives in the 3rd world country and earns less than 2 dollars a day. It is their Simran, Naam abhyaas, devotion to the Guru that is crucial.

As It says in Asa di Vaar, "jeta parrhea teta karreaa".

Bhul chuk maaf

Thats the problem with modern women. They just want to be to modern ie go down the night clubs dressed like tarts and get drunk. That is the UK culture.

This does not happen in Australia and most European countries. Unfortunately Many Sikhs have have been influenced by the white majority of the UK and are simply copying their behaviour of clubbing and boozing non stop.

Don't be naive Veer ji this is the attitude in Punjab through to UK to US to AUstralia ... it is the 'greener pastures' syndrome, they don't know what jewels of wisdom and true living they spurn to pick up the paste costume jewellery of a 'modern' life . The Freedom they crave is one without responsibilities to themselves, their families /friends, kaum anyone just 'AAASh Karo ji' and worry about tomorrow when you see it. It is not just Girls but First and Foremost our 'spoilt' menfolk...these girls are only making a case for acting like them just as Ms Harjit did above when she objected to going to functions because she wouldn't get served sharab too as if that is a mark of honour ... I feel sorry for her if living as long as she has she hasn't realised that is all 'koordh' nothingness, rubbish. The only thing a woman should be upset about is whether the SInghs deny her the rights that Guru ji gave her , to do sewa, simran, have amrit, lead the sangat in prayers. Waheguru eh saria 'ladies' nu sumat baksho.
