Need Help Converting To Sikhism

[RickC]

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

there are many sikhs who you could get in touch with, ill PM you with some details. There are many people who have just started following sikhi, so maybe if you try to get in touch with them then you will find it will help you more than learning over the net.

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!

RickC uncle ji? :e:

maybe you could present some of your questions to the sangat on this board and they can help you with your queries.

I do have one question for you..what are you seeking? or What do you want from "earn" from the sikh faith so to speak :wub:

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.
