  1. Khalsa Ji The doubts regarding the authenticity or teachings of SGGS Ji are due to the fact when someone has not yet attained "Naam Rass" {sweet taste of Gurbani}. Gursikhi is not only about the after life. Gursikhi is about attaining the ultimate pleasure in this life. As humans we all yearn for pleasure but the sad fact is that we run after temporary and torment inducing pleasures. When a person acquires Naam Rass {taste of Gurbani} , all other pleasures seem futile. To question everything is human nature , but faith can move mountains. Associating with faithless cynics will be the cause of ruin. Associating with Gursikhs will lead to bliss.

  4. ma(n)dhaa kisai n aakheeai parr akhar eaeho bujheeai || Do not call anyone bad; read these words, and understand. moorakhai naal n lujheeai ||19|| Don't argue with fools. ||19|| And sir sir rijak sa(n)baahae t(h)aakur kaahae man bho kariaa ||2|| For each and every person, our Lord and Master provides sustenance. Why are you so afraid, O mind? ||2|| You can never eradicate racism, people that laugh and point at us are usually in groups on people, and want to show off to their mates that they are "hard", just ignore these people. If however a person is alone and is racist, then be brave and correct them. They will never expect you to do it. And why beat them up, it will only create more hate for us. Just keep the gurbani posted above in your mind :waheguru:

  5. HOUSTON we have a problem! With the exception of a few brave warriors here who understand, it is alarming what the majority of young Sikh males think about this incident! I just finished speaking in another thread how every Sikh should be ready to fight physically. I have been in my share of street fights and numerous near fights…in so many cases; standing my ground fearlessly and CALMLY, dispelled the situation. I have a healthy itching urge to see if my martial arts play is still relevant; but I know not to act on that urge for my ego. This example is sad! The response here as “sikhs” is sadder! Were we all raised by gorillas? Are we village goondas that we can’t recognize true courage? That is not an example of Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s sikhi whatsoever!! Kudos to the poster for at least feeling bad and knowing what he did was sadistic. He’s feeling bad because he was the one in the best position to know he did something wrong. A few things wrong actually. From his description, he seems to be almost out of character, the steroids possibly altered his thinking to increase aggression. Regardless he describes himself as out of control, simply not acceptable. No respectable martial art teaches one to hurt someone beyond what is necessary. If a person is head-stomping someone it should be a life or death situation. Otherwise a person needs to check themselves in to rehab or jail or both. That would in most cases be criminal assault at a minimum. It’s interesting the poster’s title is provocation. Maybe the guilt is also associated with a concern for an active police investigation as the victims could be brain injured or worse. The law does generally make sense in that a response to a provocation should be measured and not over the top. I’ve also been on the receiving end of racism on the street and a Sikh stands up to the racism and in the heat of the moment is prepared to fight. However a saint soldier never dehumanizes an enemy…that is not a Sikh way to fight. The person may be a racist in that moment, but it is a person that needs our assistance, perhaps after getting a beating, ONLY if necessary and to the extent necessary, but still needs our assistance. Even in the requirement to kill as a last resort, there was respect and love in gold-tipped arrows. Contemplate the enemy on the ground and head stomping v. Bhai Khanaiya’s approach. We call ourselves a warrior kaum, yet fail to distinguish goonda testosterone from Sikh courage!

  7. lol.. i hear this literally EVERYDAY!!! it makes me laugh how belittle we make our Guru Sahibs. If all other means fails, it is righteous to raise the sword. Would Sache Patasha, dhan Sri Guru Gobind singh ji maharaj unleash the sacred sri sahib and not come back with blood??? When all other means fail, it is righteous to Kill!!!! STOPPPPPPP using this Gurbani in silly tiny day to day rubbish scenarios!!! u see a kid at school get in a push-shove and dopey singhs tell him off and say it was wrong, maharaaj said only fight when its the last resort!! LOL Seriously, these submissive wanna be buddhists have belittled and misquoted our Gurbani. Cherry pick and choose those quotes and scenarios to make our kids into a bunch of whimps. Respect Gurbani!!! - Quote properly, give a balanced view, Do not pick just one Sakhis to justify one way or another. Yes Maharaaj took down the empire with a pen, but also killed and trained singhs to kill. Also why do our dopey parchaaraks even say we should follow the actions of Guru Sahibs? Guru Sahib stopped huge rocks, Maharaaj allowed their whole family to become Shaheed - if we want to start copying our Guru sahibs then copy everything. Otherwise just follow Gurbani and Maharaajs hukkamanas. That's what Maharaaj gave to the Sikhs to follow. Who the hell are we? Guru Sahib were nirankaar themselves.

  9. Dont worry, if you live in the UK or USA your taxes will be used to prop up the shambolic government of Pakistan who in turn will ignore things like this. Rather than Afghanistan, America should have attacked Pakistan.

  10. As a Pakistani, I would like to clarify that this incident was an isolated one. This group is primarily an intra-faith missionary group. They have been taking over mosques from other Muslim sects so this was not done because Pakistani Muslims hate Sikhs. They are mainstream to a certain extent but they do not hold power and it is not state policy to suppress the Sikhs, as it is in India. It is a common misconception among Sikhs that Muslims want to proselytize Sikhs and convert them. Nothing can be further from the truth. Our founders had regarded Sikhs as neither Hindu or Muslim. They asked Sikhs to opt with Pakistan and offered them an autonomous region where Sikh laws as in the time of Ranjit Singh could be established. Pakistan is the only country in the world that has made the Sikh marriage certificate, a distinct document and part of law.
