Preaching


Recommended Posts

Fateh jee to all. I was curious again after hearing it from someone (another question sorry) that why don't Sikhs preach Sikhism?

I'm sorry ji... Please excuse my naivety.. I'm not sure about the rest of the sangat but I think I may not be completely understanding your question.. Could you explain it in a little more detail.. It would be greatly appreciated.. Thank you ji..

we do have preachers but mostly they are limited to the confines of gurudwaras. sikhs dont go out of their way to convince someone that sikhi is the path for them. thats the beauty of sikhi, live and let live. :TH:

Just a few preachers from India.

Gianni Takhur Singh Ji

Bhai Pinderpal Singh ji

Gianni Maskeen Ji

Sant Baba Ishar Singh Ji

I think all the major Kathkaars are from India. I think the problem with sikhi parchaar is that its in the confinement of the punjabis. I mean its mostly done in punjabi and in gurdwaras. I think sikhi is the path for everyone, not just punjabis. Think about it, we had one Singh who dared to go outside the Punjabis and preach to Goray and look what happened. We have converts all over the world. We need more preachers speaking the language of the local ppl and spreading sikhi to everyone around the world. Naturally you will get converts because anyone can see what a jewel this panth is, we just need to introduce ppl to sikhi. I'm not saying stop doing parchaar in punjabi or forget punjabi. I'm saying we need to start branching out to everyone. Also we need to stop paying people to do kirtan and katha. It should be done by those who really love it and live it. Otherwise people who don't really believe in it start preaching for the money and to travel. :TH:

Oh and as for sikhi being the fifth largest religion, are we including non-practicing people in this stat. I think we are. Because the amount of amritdharis i see in india and around the world, I doubt we are the fifth largest by just including amritdharis.

    • 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!!
