No Sikh that claims love for Sikhism and the Dasam Pitta will as much as think of celebrating festivals that belong to other religions, especially in the month of December!!! Our Pitta Ji sacrificed everything for us starting with the Pancham Patshah, Ninth Patshah and then his own immediate family! We can never repay them for the sacrifices they have made for us, the least we can do is, become amritdary and lead our lives according to their Principles instead of arguing whether we should or should not celebrate Christmas which has no connection to Sikhism anyways!! I told my colleagues too, so I don't give or receive any Xmas cards!! It is best to be truthful!

We are suppose to feel grateful and not UNGRATEFUL.

I suppose we all have to take steps to observe this historical event full of spiritual importance. I stopped celebrating when I became a Sikh. My Sikh identity is due to these great many sacrifices made by the Gurus and, I am forever grateful to them.

Hypothetical question.

Let's say Congress had accepted the Anandpur Resolution. How does this alter history?

You mean everything happened for no reason at all? So many lives were lost because the Congress was playing hide and seek with the sikhs? One minute she liked Babba ji and the next she did what she did. That silly old she-crow!! What's happened has happened and it cannot be erased from our minds or history books. So many people have already died, this line of questioning cannot bring them all back now.

If Indra, Shiva, Krishna, Vishnu could not obtain liberation by themselves. Then how can anyone that follows their system or slight variations of their systems obtain liberation? None of the leaders of these schools of thoughts obtained liberation by their teachings. All struggled and succumbed to their ego. Gurbani very clearly declares when someone obtains liberation.

Today liberation for the missionary Sikh is to live happily and die ignorant of the world beyond this world; happy wife, happy life. Some believe going to heaven is liberation. Some believe "conquering" the mind is liberation; only those who have accepted Shabad Guru can conquer. Saying goes, never let history repeat itself. Yet the "most" spiritually wise are constantly repeating history. Parmahansa Yogananda says, Kriya yoga is the most effective, easiest, and scientific method to reach infinite (liberation). Guru Sahib says leave these empty practices behind and attach yourself to the Shabad Guru.

What is maha Samadhi? The devta and devis preformed many miraculous acts, yet never were they classified as maha samadhi by the Gurus. Gursikhs travel to many dimensions and no one says they are in maha samadhi. Gursikhs laugh and don't pay attention to such lowly acts. There is one Guru and one God; both are the same. So where is this talk about his (Parmahansa Yogananda) Guru? Indra had a Guru called the mind and he failed. What does this mean. Indra made up a Guru that his mind could believe in and followed this Guru's teachings. Parmahansa Yogananda Guru was no different than Indra's. Its very much like the 4 year old kid with the imaginary friend. The friend loves the kid, plays with him, listens to him and agrees with him all the time. There might be a little disagreement for adding excitement, but its the perfect setup for failure. Anyone who deviates from Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji's teaches does not have anything close to maha samadhi or know the concept of liberation or know how to get there. Anyone who says Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji is only for Sikhs is ignorant of how Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji speaks to every human being regardless of which religion or no religion they believe in or follow.

Bahut khoob ji.

well you have grounds for racism dispute here in Uk because Sikhs are like Jews they are defined as a race, so yes the Beeb have broken racism laws

What are the 'racism laws' if any? Do you think passing laws can cleanse people's hearts and minds? No amount of laws can achieve this ever. What people feel about other races is deeply rooted in their hearts and minds and laws never state that from now on hating other races or religions deep within your hearts and minds will be construed as unlawful behavior and therefore liable for prosecution.

well you have grounds for racism dispute here in Uk because Sikhs are like Jews they are defined as a race, so yes the Beeb have broken racism la

There is another type of racism which is not so overt, how would you prove it?

CORRECTION :-

THE TITLE SHOULD READ " SEXUAL ASSAULT" AND NOT "ABUSE"

I am not sure if that is different! Confusing!!

"Mr Justice Kirubakaran said: ‘When child sex abuse is universal and many innocent children are becoming victims, the fight against child abuse has to be fought with the cooperation of all countries by unified action.’ Robinson has said the allegations are without foundation but his lawyers have so far failed to have the case dismissed."
