VJKK VJKF Is it ok for GurSikhs to be fat or unfit or unhealthy? Theres the argument that if you have an overweight Singh how is he expecting to defend himself should a battle or war arise tomorrow? Shouldnt Sikhs always be ready, mentaly and physically fit to rise to such situations? If youre unfit, how you expecting to run or walk miles if need be...? You might walk it but if ure attacked on the way and ure out of breath, then u wont be fit enough to defend ureself or worse, someone else.

How should exorcism be carried out in Sikhi? We've all seen it in movies where the person is possessed and is very hard to control. Is there any reference in Sikh history on Exorcism, if not how are some ways the spirit could be taken out?

WGJKK WGJKF Sangat ji, I am wondering about newspapers and other publishers/painters printing pictures of all the TEN guru Sahib even it is prohibted in SIKHISM Why AkalTakhat not taking action against such things. People trash newspapers which usually have picturs of Guru Sahib. If people can't think straight then why not Jathedar issue a strict hukamnama from Akal Takhat about not printing Guru Maharaj's picture in any form so that we don't do dishonour intentionally or unintentionally. Bhull Chuke Muaaf Kaarni as am very disturbed by this and I seek Waheguru ji's mercy. Please raise your voice against printing pictures of Guru Sahib and impose basic principle of si…

How many people here have tried to or helped in cretaing awareness in USA or any other country about the IDENTITY OF SIKHS and SIKHISM Especially for American Borns: how many of them have given power point presentations or video movies presentations, be it in their high schools or Universities. I think rarely, and it is very important especially at HIGH SCHOOLS rather than UNIVERSITIES... because half of the americans don't go above HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION. I think making awareness this way is far more effective than to SUE them.... what do you guys think??????

I know its late, but if anyone could tell me some key things to point out to my class tommorrow about Sikhism it would be highly helpful. The speech itself is like 2 mins, so not too much. This is what I have so far: Talk about the 5 evils (kaam krodh lobh moh hankar) Dont eat meat/drink wine/intoxicants Wake up early and do naam jap Help those that you can always always give 10% to the community (usually g/ws) Honest work life Never stop learning (fill your vessel with knowledge) Dont eat excessive food. If it helps in any way we're reading Siddartha, Which is about a Hindu i believe. I'm doing this speech (as is another Hindu girl) on my religion to shed light…
