Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.

I am a 53 yr old man living in America. I studied Sikhism many years ago but now wish to convert. I wish to receive email advice on how practice Sikhism. I am also a martial arts instructor with 33 years of experience. Please see www.creativefightingconcepts.com.

I would really enjoy having emails about how I can do more to become a Sikh. I am now Kesh and do get up early in the morning to meditate and pray.

I live in Tennessee with my wife and two children. I teach Bruce Lee's art of Jeet Kune Do, Filipino Martial Arts, and Muay Thai Kickboxing. If someone wanted to learn these arts, I would teach them for free in exchange for teaching me how to become Sikh. I would also like to learn how to speak Punjabi.

I just wish to learn more about Sikhism so someday soon I may go to the Gurdwara and become Khalsa. The only Temple close by is two hours away from where I live.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please email me at: tnjkd@yahoo.com

Thank you ultimate paapi.

If you want to come to my house for a couple of weeks to train for free, you could teach my family and I how to live as Sikhs!

What a great vacation for all of us!

The True Guru is the Giver of the Naam; His Treasure is perfect and overflowing.

Rick we are all sikhs (Students) as we are constantly learning. To become a sikh of the Guru you have to accept Guru Granth Sahib jee to be your Guru. Once you do that the next step is to learn from your Guru and practise what your Guru teaches you.

If you need to speak to our Guru regarding a certain topic then you can do that by searching for it here.

Each day sikhs receive a hukam ( command ) from the Guru. Then as a sikh you try your best to follow Guru's Hukam. Thats all there is to being a sikh. Follow your Guru which gets you closer to God.

A better place to ask for help regarding learning more about sikhi or getting someone to meet up with you and help you out is sikhnet.

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
