Are Sikhs Descendant Of Hindu God Ramchander ?
VanHelsingh replied to panthicunity's topic in GURBANI | SAKHIAN | HISTORY
I have no issue with believing any of that, it's just post-80s a lot of Sikhs, understandably, don't want to be associated with Hinduism and that bleeds over into hate at times, including hate for possibly history and lineage that might be true. -
I think most reasonable, fair-minded Sikhs on this site would say gays can lead the lifestyle they feel they must lead (even if most Sikhs disagree with it) but as long as it doesn't mean the Anand Karaj is affected. I can respect that to be honest. I guess it gets into weird territory when there's a gay Sikh who really feels strongly about Sikhi; that's when it becomes strange for all involved.
-
Spot-on Veer Ji. The parents are more concerned with gossip from familiy and friends than acknowledging the fact that a non-Sikh is willing to embrace Sikhi; that's a pretty huge deal. As long as the guy behaves himself and conducts himself properly with his partner, that's a huge victory in my eyes not only for the couple but for Sikhi as well. Although lets be honest, the girl "converting" to Sikhi when the guy himself is out drinking or partying is hardly going to be that much of a big deal. BUT if the fella is clean-living and a regular attendee of the Gurdwara and does Naam Simran then only good can come from that IMO.

Funny thing is I never asked which was the "best", as was attributed to me earlier; I asked whether Waheguru listens to the wishes or even takes care of people of other religions (or even non-believers)? :biggrin2: The above post from Jonny Ji is all that was needed.
-
It's a genuine question, because if we believe Waheguru created everyone (not just Sikhs) then surely He must at least be keeping a passing interest in the rest of the world who aren't Sikh? :biggrin2:
-
Does Waheguru listen to you even if you're not a Sikh (Gursikh)? A friend asked me this a few days ago and I honestly didn't know what to say, lol.

A Rebuttal For A Diabolical Troll.
VanHelsingh replied to 13Mirch's topic in GURBANI | SAKHIAN | HISTORY
Alright, lets not go that far. -
Not sure about Birmingham, but in central England and bits of the north I guess, there's a propensity amongst those Sikhs getting high-flying careers and young families to move into exclusive surburbs mostly populated by similarly well-to-do White people. Okay, so nobody is saying stay in the ghetto, but at least don't cut yourself off from everyone else and then stop coming to the Gurughar, etc., and start to raise kids that haven't got a clue about their religion and culture, and actually baulk at anything Sikh. That's just messed up. Yet our lot love doing it, in England at least.
-
Fair point. The fact is that when our lot get good careers and some cash in the bank the first thing they do is move away from fellow Sikhs and almost cut themselves off from their own community, as if they're too good for the "pendus" around them. When you do that, you're easy picking for vultures.

Somebody who has the gumption to call a 16 year old child being abused from pillar to post (whatever the reason), a "hoe" I think tells us exactly where this disgusting man's sympathies lie. I think he's been fed something in the kheer he ate when he probably went around to wish one of them 'Eid Mubarak' a few years ago. Not a clue.
-
Give it a rest. "Technically an adult at 16". I wonder if you would've seen any technicalities if she was related to you. You're embarassing yourself, and the suggestion that because Sikhs had "got to her" first as if that somehow makes her culpable for what the Islamics did to her, just shows how much you're willing to bend over backwards to defend the Muslims. I always thought you were a good sort, but you seriously need to get your priorities in order. There's a huge difference between a university-going Sikh girl dating and making herself avaliable to Muslim guys (not saying I agree with that too). Then there's this; an emotionally damaged, clearly unstable and suicidal, vulnerable SIXTEEN YEAR-OLD taken advantage of and used like a _____ for the pleasure of these men. The fact that people seem to be blurring the line - and in some cases, not even noticing the line exists - is absolutely disgusting.
-
Don't worry sis. Talk to your mum about it. If you'll forgive me your family seem a bit... insenstive, but you can't keep this bottled up or you'll end up doing something wrong you might regret it. Talk to them about it calmly.
-
Is it? Oops. Well like I said I do believe they were gifted with abilities we don't have, and I've always believed that since I was a kid. I think the danger lies in seeing Guru Sahibs as practitioners of miracles and "magic" and nothing more. Youngsters are attracted to that kind of thing a lot I've noticed.
-
The deeper I get into Sikhi the more I'm beginning to realise the Gurus could have had no powers as far as I'm concerned; the greatest power they had is what's contained in their Gurbani AND the way they chose to conduct themselves every single day they were with us in human form. You can't beat that. Although that's not to say they weren't capable of anything extradordinary, because they were, but what comfort is that to us?
-
She was clinically depressed. self-harming, and hooked on alcohol. Lord knows what caused her to get into this mental state. She wasn't thinking straight to make any sane decisions, and if that meant she thought having sex with random guys for money was normal, well you'd be surprised what depression does to a person. You have a daughter don't you, Singh? I hope you'll give her the same "You're 16... you're an adult, sort it out yourself", if she ever has the misfortune to come to you with a problem. So much bitterness and sarcasm... were you bullied as a child? You seem like someone with a Napoleon complex, always so unforgiving and angry at the world --- well, apart from your Islamic brethren, that is.
-
@ Legal Singh - Wow. A young girl messed out of her mind is a ho, but the Muslims guys that groomed and raped her are... nevermind. Wow.
-
So many girls of many backgrounds are vulnerable and they do a lot of shocking (to us) things, but when such kids are taken advantage of it angers me and breaks my heart. What kind of beasts could do this to someone so emotionally fragile?
-
I guess they'd have to be reincarnated until they were born into Sikh households, and then they'd obviously have to follow Gurmat. That's how discussions on this subject in the past have gone. I don't see a problem with it. It's when you start considering non-Sikhs as lower life-forms or impure; that's when you get in trouble imo.
-
I wasn't referring to preachers or granthis. I was referring to the babeh who set themselves up as mahapurash who supposedly heal people and help them onto the right path, but the only thing they heal are their own egos and bank accounts, and in the most plushest of surroundings. Don't know where you got it I was referring to parchaaraks.
-
You know you've found a good 'un when she says she'll convert to your religion without you even asking her. Of course as a responsible Sikh it must be made clear Sikhi is followed because of a devotion to the Path, and not because of love for a man.

Question For The Italian Sikhs Or Those Who Have Visited Italy
VanHelsingh replied to KH4L1$T4N1's topic in WHAT'S HAPPENING?
Wow, I was expecting a really deep question about Sikh immigrants, and Singh came out with a question about cheese! Fair play to that! :lol2: -
Some fair points. Don't have a problem with it to be honest. If they desire to be closer to Waheguru then why should anyone object?

Turbaned Sikh Men Take Their Fashion To The Streets
VanHelsingh replied to mrggg123's topic in WHAT'S HAPPENING?
On a related note, why do modern young men and their fashion look so... dainty, almost effeminate? The clothes don't help either. A rugged pair of jeans and a tshirt does the trick imo. As for the OP, I guess showing the Sikh image in a positive light is nothing to be sniffed at I guess. -
Goreh (mostly the working classes I guess) are getting really peed off with what they perceive as them being threatened and pushed around in their own country. I wouldn't be surprised if some extreme elements decided to fight back. Put it this way: If as Sikhs we were made to feel that way by a minority in a Sikh homeland, would our lot just sit by and twiddle their thumbs hoping this minority behave themselves? Of course, planting bombs and taking out innocent people is NEVER the right thing to do. Have street battles, tear-ups, etc., but don't start bombing places of worship.
