i believe that sikhism was a way of life just like the rastafari,

and then guru gobind started the Sikh "religion"

The RELIGION was started by the british, a way to explain what another believe of god (other then what they think is theres, foolishly not knowing god is only the same with a different name).

Guru Gobind Singh created the Khalsa, they purest of the pure a strict way of life.

Sikh comes from the word Sikhsha (Sanskrit word) a learner or disciple Guru Nanak Dev Ji chose this word for his students who wanted to discover the Satya (truth) about God Life Matter Universe etc

Guru Gobind Singh Ji finalised it by forming the Khalsa (the pure) Charna Amrit (Feet Baptism) was given to Sikhs upto the 9th Guru Guru Gobind Singh Ji changed it Khanda Da Amrit (Baptism of double edged sword) because he wanted the Universal Guru Granth Sahib Ji to be the Guru for Sikhs after him

he said all source of Gyaan (knowledge) will now only come from Guru Granth Sahib Ji and no more human Gurus

The Rehat Maryada (Code of Conduct) was given not as a burden but to fight all challenges by Kal Yug (King of Evil) This Maryada was so pious it is still envied by the Manmukhs (self willed people) and people have made short cuts to escape from it. In this Maryada of Kalgeedhar Patshah even swearing or bad mouthing is not allowed. And the Nitnem (daily prayers) were given as bridge to connect with God.

My definition of a Sikh:

Most people would say, "Your not a Sikh until you have taken Amrit". In some ways i agree but at the same time there are so many Amritdharri's out there but they dont have that love, that devotion, that faith like Gursikhs do. I agree that giving your head to Satguru Ji's is a huge step but then if you dont maintain that love within your self; who are you trying to kid?

A true Sikh loves his Guru.

A true Sikh sees' all Ten Masters within Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

A true Sikh never abandones Satguru Ji at Amritveylaa.

A true Sikh never forget's the Creator of all Creations.

A true Sikh continues to say Vaheguru's Name with every breath and morsel of Food.

A true Sikh will rise in the early portion of the morning, take bath and recite his Name.

A true Sikh will give his head to Guru Saahib such as did the five punj piyaarey.

A true Sikh will always remain in his home of Saach Kaand.

A true Sikh will learn Gurbani Kirtan.

A true Sikh will love Guru Saahib more than anyone in the whole world.

The Guru, the True Guru, is the treasure of the Lord's Name; how very fortunate are the Sikhs who share in this treasure of virtue.

a sikh means a follower .... a muslim is a sikh of hazzrat muhhamad ... a christen is a sikh of jesus .... in our granths word sikh is used to point not only the sangat of guru sahibs ... but also the sangat of ram rai ... dhirmal ... gorakhnath ... and even sangat of kabirji is told as sikhs of kabir ...

    • 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!!
