  1. Om and On(g) are the same thing. The pronunciation of Om differs amongst different schools of thought with some stating it is pronounced the same as On(g). That's to not say Om and Ik Onkaar are the same thing, of course Guru Sahib has made this distinction; the Ik is what sets it apart.

    Also just as On(g) does not have only one arth, neither does Om.

    All I'm stating is that the On(g) part of Onkaar is the same as Om, they are one and the same and this is accepted in traditional Sikhi. But it's no surprise people and stupid "preachers" find this hard to digest with their revisionist nonsense and Hinduphobia.

    On(g)/Om is written differently depending on the script, obviously we use Gurmukhi and it's not exactly a bombshell that the Gurmukhi one looks very similar to some of the other scripts...because it's the same thing.

    - Taken from a Sikh text written in Devanagri which says "Ik Onkaar Satgur Prasad". If On(g) and Om were not the same, then the translator wouldn't have gone to the trouble of writing it this way, instead he would have written Ik Onkaar in Gurmukhi.

    - Taken from a commercial product, for reference. "Omkaar/On(g)kaar" in Devanagri script.

    - Taken from a Puratan Pothi Sahib, again illustrating On(g) and Om are in fact the same thing; with Brahma Ji, Vishnu Ji, and Shiv Ji depicted in the On(g) and Akaal Purkh depicted in the Ik. This is artistic representation before anybody shouts "there is no image of Akaal Purkh blah blah". People were not so anti-imagery or anti-art back in the day.

  2. BBC news at 10 oddly didn't mention him, maybe I missed it that part if they did although it was a short report. They also actually said "mostly of Pakistani heritage" more than once, they seemed to make that very clear.

    Interesting they've not singled him out. Well yet anyway.

    "beta".  Rather when her dad asks "how is everything?" and I reply "good" , her father says "it should be good only" . as if we're trying to pounce one her with discrimination and zulm once she's here.

    Show her this song (or put as your whatsapp status or bhatever the naujawani does these days), and say ਤੈਨੂੰ ਤਾਂ ਰੰਗ ਭਾਗ ਲੱਗੇ ਆਹ ਕੁੜੀਏ! She should get the message.

     

     

     

    Absolutely epic classic Punjabi song btw.

  4. I do wonder what the response would be like if the OP said he was supposed to be attending a funeral as opposed to a birthday at the Mandir. Would there still be backlash?

    Not like he's asking whether he can attend regularly lol. Nor is there any obligation to take part in the service on any occasion. For something like this, most if not all of the programme will be Bhajan/Kirtan anyway.

    No need to act as if he's been asked to do Narial da Daan. :notalk:

    4. makes hindus happy that they are weakening sikhi

    Lol most aam Hindus in the west do not have this mindset. There is a mutual respect for the most part.

    Why don't we eat egg? When I'm in a situation where I need to tell someone I can't eat a cake or biscuits etc because they have egg in them and that I don't eat meat they usually turn around and say egg isn't meat!   So why don't we eat egg? From my experience apart from Hindus no one else understands and get confused about me not  being allowed to eat egg  

    You generally are allowed. Many Sikhs do eat eggs even if they are vegetarian. Nihangs, who are well known for consuming Jhatka, do not even classify eggs in the same category as meat.

    Obviously this is all subjective, and a matter of opinion. I personally believe there is nothing wrong with eating them.

    A lot of the justifications for and against are absolutely ridiculous. You'll be extremely hard pressed to find a Sikh who can make a decent argument on dietary rulings without being biased, having an agenda, or misusing Gurbani etc.

  6. Recently I have been pondering over this a lot...why isn't Mata Ji mentioned in the Ardaas? Almost all the key figures in the Panth throughout history and currently are mentioned either directly or indirectly, but oddly enough the Mother of the Panth has no mention. Not only that but Mata Ji has generally been sidelined and treated as a background figure up until recently where there has been (somewhat) more awareness of Her status, which in actual fact is a very exalted status; Mata Sahib Devan Ji is the Puran Sargun Saroop of Adi Shakti.

    Why isn't She talked about more? Why do we not do Ardaas to Her? Why is She not remembered or invoked on a daily basis? Aside from a brief mention on Baisakhi there is nothing.

    The Mother of the Sikh Panth, of the Khalsa, Jagat Mata, is Adi Shakti Herself. We are blessed. And we as a Panth need to take it upon ourselves to pay homage to Her, and give Her the utmost respect and reverence.

    Mata Ji is Ang Sang Sahai...

  7. I think the Star of David thing was a bit of fun lol @genie and I don't think they would use something which could be interpreted as something as obvious as you are stating. 

    More likely the star was a target i.e. Sant Ji or Akaal Takht, and the blue being the colour of the Sikhs...hence Blue Star. Also speculation of course.

    Sometimes these codenames don't mean phack all..they may have a vague or very obscure meaning.

    All this being said, I rate Israel or moreso the determination of the Jewish people.
