Stay with the Question

""What is the purpose of my life?" This very question enlivens the human values in our system, in our self. But don't be in a hurry to find out an answer to this question. Be with the question. The question itself is like a tool by which you can become more deep within yourself. "

-Sri Sri Ravishankar

Interesting thing- Subramaniam swamy on Sonia smuggling.

Its somewhere stated that Russians depositied 5 billion dollors in Rahul gandhi's account in Swiss Bank.

Its not caste but color discrimination that exists in west. Blacks V/s Asians v/s Whites.

There is groupism there also. Some areas are dominated by asians like Edison in US, Southall in UK etc.

Some areas are dominated by blacks. Thats the way it goes.

Hindu word----

Although I don't agree with each and every word. Please you can disagree.

I will reply one by one. One member says that why didn't Ambedkar chose Sikhism instead of Buddhism.

One valid reason is that some sikhs still practice caste(sorry its true guys), ignoring the nanak's teachings and spirit of sikhism.

Still I hear that Honor killings in Punjab(though less cases than rest of north and haryana). Honor killings mean that they want daughters to marry in clans. That stupid Gotra stuff.

He even thought about Islam but he saw the muslims of Larkana in pak who were treated like garbage by elite punj muslims(the ruling class in pak).

So he thought that only Buddhism is free from caste.

But in Sri Lanka the Chamar(pardon my using this hateful word) Buddhists are still treated with contempt.

So Hypocrisy is everywhere.

rest I will reply tomorrow, today extremely tired. Pls excuse.

Its true that after Asoka converted to Buddhism majority of hindus converted to Buddhism, But afterwards they were reconverted into hinduism forcibly saying that Buddhism preaches non violence and peace and lacks the warrior instinct.

Only nations to the northeast of India+Myanmaar+tibet+Sri Lanka were spared.

Those in North west were taken care by Mughals. You can still see the Buddhist style houses(like in Ladakh) in NWFP.

Interesting post. Hindus themselves don't consider Rahul Gandhi a hindu. Even once Uma Bharti said stupidly rahul's marriage will determine his loyalty.

they consider him a beef eating christian.

Not just the buddhists but also the jains were massacred. Infact the Tirupati shrine was earlier a Jain shrine demolished by cholas.

Do you agree with Rahul Baba that भगवा आतंकवाद Saffron Terror हिन्दू आतंकवाद Hindu Terrorism Poses a Great threat to the nation????

Give your views freely. Thanks in advance.

Hi moderators,

Pls delete this thread. I don't think its relevant.

Not just in abroad but also in India. Thanks for reply sir.

Hai frnds,

being such a huge nation we don't often get to know the beauty of other cultures. I recommend all to read the work of this tamil saint which is still revered by one and all.

Whoever reads it praises it.

I don't know whether its available in Punjabi but english version of the book is there.

Thiru means Shri and Kural means words/shabds.

After you read the book, you will thank me for generations for recommending such a wonderful work of a great saint.

I'm really amazed. So easily one can misunderstand what I'm saying. I never told that in Dubai there is ban on turban.

The 14 odd men who are on death row in Saudi Arab are sardars. Not one sports a Turban.

Why do some amrithdhari sikhs prefer to become mona sikh. I can understand those who go to gulf for work since its radical islamic union.

I find it very strange since abroad people fight lawsuits to protect their distinct identity(Turban).

Why such phenomenon in India then....?

Pls some member throw some light on this?

Its also possible that Hemant Karkare phoned Digvijaya from some other number, that is why call records are not showing he talked to him.

I believe that Hemant karkare talked to Digvijaya.

Sir Hemant karkare knows the system. He knows phones are tapped, He might have confided his views to trustworthy people securely.

I believe he did receive threats from hindu extremists but he was killed by kasab and co.

Here is another hate group. Actually first I was tricked in the sense that it was created to condemn such acts then I saw the comments. Please report this page.

Please don't take any drastic step. Just think about your parents. Marks and grades are not everything frnd.

Keep your spirits high.

Take good care of yourself.

Hi frnds,

I got an interesting website which has Guru Granth Sahib online.

http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.gurbani?Action=Page&Param=1

With Warm Regards,

P.S. (I hope this is the suitable place to post this thread. Pls forgive me if its otherwise. This is just my first thread. I'm a newbie.)

If we look at the the teachings of Sikhi, why do we always focus on Caste, Guru ji says 'Manas ki jatt sab eko pachan' This relates to all of humanity as one, so why do we then differentiate between nationalities, cultures etc.

To me this quote is about treating all with respect, regardless of their background/identity.

We need to try and seperate some aspects of culture from religion. If we focus on religion, then in reality there is not much discrimination on so called caste. Anyone can go to any Gurdwara and pay their respects to Guru Granth Sahib as well as partake in Sangat and listen to Kirtan, bani etc. When taking Amrit, you are not asked about your identity, i.e. so called caste', i could go on.

So the concept of caste has been eradicted in terms of religion. Even if you go to a so called 'Ramghari' Gurdwara. no body stops you from partcipating in the Sangat and listening to bani.

'Caste' is a western concept that was used by the British to divide the people of India. It is cultural and as mentioned in an earlier post, Jats are a tribe and so what is wrong with anyone identifying themselves with their ancestoral identity. As long their main identity is as a Sikh first. What Sikhi teaches is that all are equal there is no hiearchy, it does not say that you may deny your history from a cultural view, as long as you treat all other Humans with respect.

I have two doubts:-

1. Why is Sikhism silent about Janms theory. Like in hinduism its 7 Births/janms and in islam its 1 birth. Even though 7 janms cannot be scientifically proven.

2. Why do sikhs practice caste along with hindus in India and Pak? This is evident from honour killings that are taking place in Punjab. I'm not trying to say that only hindus practice caste system, parsis, muslims, christians do so also. Isn't it that the Dashmesh condemned it(caste system). Practicing cast ism is directly in contravention/contradiction with the teachings of gurus.

Appreciate it if someone clears these doubts with getting PERSONAL.
