Preaching

[singhni84]

You don't have to be a "professional" preacher to spread the message of Sikhi. Sikhs who carry themselves as true Gursikhs do parchaar of the faith simply through their appearance, their words and their actions. There are lots of different ways to do parchaar as well, not necessarily going out on a conscious mission to tell people through words about Sikhism or knocking on doors to pass out literature.

Mostly because we believe its not our right to force others to believe what we believe. This means that we don't find its important to force others, like other faiths seem to do, and so we don't preach to others unless we are asked.

Its humble. :lol:

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.
