Superior Religion

[Guest peacemaker]

Religion is for protestant gora stuff, for me sikhi is not religion.

Although I agree with you, about sikhi not being a religion, I have a problem with the words "protestant gora stuff". That doesn't seem very fair to say at all. Let's pick our words carefully, so we don't offend others.

Beautiful by Guru Arjan Dev Ji.

I read so many discussions on SikhSangat on how to do this or that.

Some say this is the right way to do things or that is.

All that matters is the Name of God.

All other practices are irrelevant.

ok , I said it this way to point out at the tribalistic and dangerous religion concept the goray introduced to sikhs and hindus during British Raj. For me its roots are in protestanism. But I might have been able to term it better, not sure lol
