There Is No Such Thing As Sikhism

[UntitledSingh]

I know this is no big deal, but I am sick of our religion being referred to as Sikhism, that word doesnt sense. Our religion should be referred to as Khalsa.

Thats all

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ke Fateh

[Harmeet Singh]

I have said many times that Sikhi is not an "ism". many scholars who are writting should realize this along with ourselves. ism is a dangerous suffix that we chose to put ignorantly. isms are all theories not facts

we should always write sikhi or khalsa.

let me ask which feel powerful

"It is not easy to follow Sikhism"

"It is not easy to follow Sikhi"

on the same note....there is no 'ism' in this world. coz there cant be the plural of Religion. Religion is One and only One.

TRUE!!! ist all abt the KHALSA!!! :e:

[Long live the khalsa]

KHALSAAAA!!!!!!

[Ambrosia]

Actual Khalsa is very rare.

I dont know, but i prefer to leave that name to those who have become the dust of the feet... they are so humble. Leave it to those who are pure.

Sikh works because it means you are a learner. Thats the point. But if you become brahmgiani, then people can call you khalsa. But dont call yourself khalsa unless you are for sure you are perfect...(which the humble person would never say they are perfect... thats major ego) If you are not perfect, and are learning, and wanting to learn then call yourself sikh.

Leave Khalsa to the very rare...

I agree with you so much.. These days people have khalsa in their names. I think the same as you did, leave the khalsa to the brahmgiani. They are ones who are Khalsa.

Sikh is first step.. and everyone in this world is a sikh, we are all learners, and Guru ji is our teacher.. its just that the world is not aware of that there is acatually a religion.

So I wouldnt call this religion Khalsa, its become such a common word people use it all the time, without knowing its true depth.

I am not talking about what you call yourself, I am referring to the name of our religion, which is Khalsa, not "Sikhism".

For an example, the Muslim religion is called Islam, not "Muslimism" lol

bro if we call it khalsa then that means monas and non amritdharis in general wouldnt come under it, and cos Khalsa means the pure ones, would that mean ppl who keep strict rehit and all?

Thats very not good idea.
