The Sachkhand Express heading for Amritsar is just pulling out and emotions are running high. About six Sikh men stand on the platform with folded hands, seeing the passengers off. Each member of the group takes turns to chant the Sikh mantra. And every passenger on the chugging train responds—from the old, bald, smiling saffron-clad sadhvi to the weary-looking middle-aged Maharashtrian couple. The …

Gur Fateh! I would like to start a topic on the broad subject of the Devi or Goddess in world spiritual and religious traditions. This discussion is intended to expand to cover the role of the Divine Mother, historically in all traditions, an examination of the inter-relationship with femininity, art, culture, politics and such like and finally the impact of this today. Some my ask the relevance of such a discussion on a Sikh Forum, however, if we consider that in the Sri Guru, frequent references are made to Vaheguru as both female and male [Har Ji Pita, Har Ji Mata –Anand Sahib M3] and other times purely as female, and even more so in the Sri Dasam Granth [Kirpa ka…

hi i was reading my english translated guru granth sahib and i saw it had phrases like: : Without the Guru, the disease is not cured, and the pain of egotism is not removed. By Guru’s Grace, He dwells in the mind, and one remains immersed in His Name. Through the Word of the Guru’s Shabad, the Lord is found; without the Shabad, people wander, deceived by doubt if we should only worship god then why does it mension guru a lot? someone help out

VAAHEGUROO JEE KA KHALSA...VAAHEGUROO JEE KEE FATEH!! Veero/Bhaio, SikhSangat means the world to me, the amount of inspiration and understanding I have gained from your discussions/posts..I can't even describe, it's like sangat (that's far away I know) but always near at heart. The essence of SikhSangat.com (and any 'sangat') from my understanding it of course to bring people closer to the sweet lotus feet of Guroo Jee, and to be 'lifted from the fog'. I've been reading many posts of late, especially in relation to Sikhawareness and also on 'nangs', I do understand the need to discuss these issues. I really am happy that some critical points came out of these discus…

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! I was wonderin why out of all the countries in the world where Sikhs live, America is the only one which does not allow us to join the armed forces or police etc. I know that Canada does, UK does, India does but If America allows us to become whatever they want us to be then why do we have to fight to defend the country that we live in? :T: It makes me mad because America is supposed to be "The Land of Opportunity" @ forgive me if i said something wrong....

back then was waaaay different. ppl didn’t attend higher education or have much to do after the age of like… 13, lol. you’d have 13 year olds boys and girls that know how to do kethi, cook entire meals, etc nowadays even 22 year olds are extremely immature and can be sheltered. the average person doesn’t know how to do anything except their 9-5 which they are probably half arsing as well. -
Yeah Dhadi and Kaweshria are known for joking around now and then. -
Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
