Creating An Inspiration Book About Sikhi

[SunSingh]

There have been threads on numerous forums documenting the reasons why people came into the Sikh dharm. It would be great to make these very inspirational stories into a pdf file for distribution.

However, one thing is that these threads do not solely contain inspiriational accounts of how people were graced by the Guru. They also have debates. For example, People say I learned that Naam Dhrir is the only way to do simran so I went to go get Amrit chuk from akj. Others say I learned you don't need to so I went to DDt. People also debate keski, Raagmala, and sometimes other things are debated.

Needless to say, the inspirational value of such a thread (although still amazing) is somewhat reduced by the bickering.

It also creates confusion for people interested in taking Amrit. I have been told by some people who were interested in taking Amrit that they were hesitant to do so b/c they did not know who was right. They felt uncertain and were even turned off from taking Amrit !!

So, I know this may be contentious, but what do sangat think of putting together all sangat's experiences on what brought them into Sikhi, but editing it to remove these charged debates which only serve to reduce the parchaar value of such an amazing collection of true stories? Such a book could be used for parchaar inline with the belief of any jathabandi.

btw, I'm not discussing removing them from forum threads, just from a future pdf book that may be created. I'm really interested in hearing people's opinions on this very important topic.

bump - am I to assume people think this is a good way to go?

Yes its very good.

To inspire people to adopt Sikhi without letting them hesitate due to controversy issues in Sikhi.

Is that what you mean?

If yes, then its an excellent idea.

Well I guess we should make a sperate thread, where people tell how they got into sikhi. I personnaly will look for other stories on the net, correct grammar and spelling mistakes and send to you. Is that fine?
