  1. A Sikh is a learner, someone who believes in the teachings of the Guru's. I know a lot of members may bash on me for saying this, but you can become a Sikh internally. No one has the right to tell you that you aren't a Sikh if you haven't taken Amrit. Your Sikhism is a direct connection between you and Guru Sahib and no one from the Sangat (congregation) can tell you otherwise. Only you know how much you strive to become a true Sikh. Therefore, you have to decide how you want to become a Sikh. Bhai Gurdas Ji writes:

    "He is true Sikh who surrenders before the Guru and bows his head;

    Who puts his mind and forehead on the feet of Guru;

    Who holding dear to his heart the teachings of the Guru expels ego from his self;

    Who loves the will of Lord and has attained equipoise by becoming Guru-oriented, gurmukh;

    Who by merging his consciousness in the Word has acted according to the divine Will (hukam).

    He (the true Sikh) as the result of his love and fear of holy congregation attains his own self (atma).

    He remains stuck to the lotus feet of the Guru like the black bee.

    Getting enveloped in this delight he goes on quaffing the nectar.

    Blessed is the mother of such a person. Only his coming to this world is fruitful."

  2. Just because soo many people look up to Sant Ji doesn't mean that we consider Sant Ji our prophet. We also look up to Baba Deep Singh Ji right? And we also look up to soo many mahan shaheeds as Bhai Taru Singh Ji... But no one accuses us of considering them our 11th Guru. Then why are we accused of considering Sant Ji our 11th Guru? Its all politics to malign Sant Ji's name.

    Very fortunate and blessed is that Gurmukh who chants the Naam; it shall bring all slanderers and wicked enemies to fall at his feet.

  3. They just totally contradicted themselves. Even if Sikhs aren't facing persecution then what is the soo called Indian Government doing against farmer suicide? Sikhs are coming here for better economic opportunities, then who's fault is it? Sikhs cannot enjoy the right every human has. Their economy sucks, their government sucks, and their law enforcement sucks, what do you expect from them then? India claims to be the next superpower then why is their economy going down the drain? Why is Punjab full of illegal drugs and illict activities? Its easy to blame the Sikhs who are 'illegal immigrants' but they cannot deny the fact that India is doing nothing for us and thats why we want to come to America.

  4. The only reason it would be wrong is because then the couple do not practice the same religion. It will be hard on their end and their children. How will they raise their children? But then again this all depends on the couple. My great mamaji married a Muslim girl around the partition and he was a great Gursikh and she supported his views.

    Bakki Bhul Chuk Maaf... I dont know a lot about this but just stating an example I know of.

  5. Pyare Only Five and Singh599 - I am the first one to correct people who muddy the waters about Sikhi and our Great Heritage but if we keep on being TOO strict and judgmental with not only our youngsters but also ousiders we will only consume ourselves. It is only by making mistakes people find knowledge but if we smack others down who do not realise they are wrong then it will only be us three left at the Gurdwara.

    Veerji I totally understand what your saying. When I was watching the video and listening to the lyrics I didnt find anything wrong with it. The only thing that made me and many other's irritated was the one Bibi who was wearing revealing clothes and dancing. The song in itself is alright because Waheguru isn't just for Sikhs, jaisi karni vaisi bharni, who are we to judge but the video sends a wrong vibe to youth.

  6. BhenJi I don't think there's anything wrong with the engagement ring as long as you know in ur heart the purpose for it. No one knows whats in your heart therefore we cannot judge you just because your wearing an engagement ring. So just wear a small simple ring if you really have no other choice and as long as you dont get too attached to it, it's fine.

  7. Guru Hargobind (1595-1644)

    • Transformed the Sikhs by introducing martial arts and weapons for the defense of the masses.
    • Guru Hargobind put on two swords - one signifying miri (secular power) and other piri (spiritual power).
    • Built the Akal Takht in 1608 at Amritsar in Punjab.
    • He was imprisoned in the fort of Gwaliar for one year. When he was released he insisted that his 52 fellow prisoners, who were Rajput kings, should also be set free. To mark this occasion the Sikhs celebrate Diwali (bandi chod divas).
    • Fought four battles with the Mughal rulers which were forcing people to become Muslims.

    MY FRIEND YOU MUST HAVE GOT YOUR ANSWER

    one of the famous Guru's marked and celebrated hindu festival than how can u expect others to strictly follow sikhism

    (most of the scholars say that sikhism is a one single religion its neither a mixture of hinduism nor islam)

    when you have permission to celebrate diwali from one of our guru's then visiting temples and doing Idol worship is a minor thing..

    this was the answer 4 ur 2nd question

    and abotu the 1st question its thinking of people which creates caste God or Religion is not the reason behind it..

    :)

    peace

    I KINDLY REQUEST THE ADMIN PLEASE DO NOT DELETE THIS POST THIS IS MY 5 TH ATTEMPT U HAVE ALREADY DELETED 4 POST OF MINE

    AND I ALSO REQUEST THE MEMBERS DO NOT REPORT MY POST IF U THINK ITS THE MATTER OF FAITH THEN COME AND HAVE A DEBATE

    CZ I PREFER CHALLENGE NOT MOVE BACK

    :)

    PATIENCE AND REPENTENCE GOD IS ENOUGH FOR US

    LOL your statement didnt make any sense. We Sikhs don't celebrate Bandi Chor Diwas in celebration of Ram. You yourself stated the purpose for why we celebrate Diwali and yet you are criticizing it. You just totally contradicted yourself!
