Conversion To Sikhism ?

[RevengOfTheSikh]

WJKK WJKF,

I am doing some research. Does Sangat Ji have any experience/ know of 'non Sikhs' converting to Sikhism ?

I am not talking about the H2O/ Harbhajan Singh Yogi type movements.

I am interested where 'non Sikhs' have become Sikhs because of their Sikh partner ?

Also, I am eager to understand specifically if you know of any muslims who have become Sikhs -their reasons/ how, why, etc ?

YES. I WAS WICCAN FOR 10 YEARS; THEN BY GUR PRASADH, I DISCOVERED SIKHISM ON MY OWN IN EARLY MAY, 2008 AND I CONVERTED TO SIKHISM ON MAY 11, 2008. I AM A NIGERIAN(YORUBA)-AMERICAN SIKH.

OH YES, AND IN ADDITION TO MY EARLIER ABOVE REPLY; I NEED TO ADD THAT I DID NOT CONVERT TO SIKHISM BECAUSE OF A PARTNER; IN FACT, I HAVE NEVER BEEN MARRIED AS OF YET AND I AM STILL SINGLE; IN FACT I DON'T EVEN HAVE A GIRLFRIEND AS OF YET; I CONVERTED TO SIKHISM BECAUSE SIKHISM IS THE ULTIMATE RELIGION OF THE TRUTH AND PERFECTION; AND IN THE ARENA OF SPIRITUALITY I AM NOT VYING FOR 2ND PLACE SO THAT I AM MOST DEFINITELY A SIKH BY GUR PRASADH, THAT IS OUR LORD PREBH VAHEGURU'S GRACE. :vaheguru: :1singh1: :nishaan_sahib_right: NEVERTHELESS, RELIGIOUS DIVERSITY, AS WELL AS DIVERSITY IN ALL OTHER THINGS, ARE ALL CREATIONS OF THE LORD PREBH VAHEGURU, SO THAT THE UNIQUENESS OF EACH THING WILL BE REALISED, THEREBY MAKING ALL OF PREBH'S CREATIONS UNIQUE AND GIVING CLEAR INDICATION AND REVELATION THAT OUR LORD PREBH VAHEGURU HIM/HER/ITSELF IS UNIQUE BY HIS/HER/ITS OWN NATURE. AS SUCH NATURALLY IN TRUTH, ALL RELIGIONS ARE EXALTED BY LORD VAHEGURU AS THE LORD VAHEGURU SEES FIT; AND THE SIKH GURBANI CONFIRMS IT. BOLE, SO NIHAL! SAT SRI AKAL! VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH!

ITS OKAY. I AM ATTRACTED TO SIKHISM BECAUSE OF THE PERFECTION OF ITS HOLY SCRIPTURE; THE PERFECTION OF ITS GURBANI AND GURMAT, SO THAT THE SIKH LITERALLY EXISTS IN THE TRUTH (a.k.a. GOD): THE TRUTH OF THE GOD GIVEN NAAM WITHIN ONES MIND AND SOUL AND THE TRUTH OF THE GOD GIVEN KESH ON ONES HEAD AND BODY. IF ONE DOES NOT LIVE THIS TRUTH, HOW CAN THEY HAVE RESPECT FOR GOD? THE RELIGION OF WICCA IS A VERY GOOD RELIGION; BUT THE EMPHASIS IN WICCA IS "DO WHAT THOU WILL, ERE YE HARM NONE;" IN OTHER WORDS DO WHATEVER YOU WANT, AS LONG AS YOU HARM NO OTHER LIVING THING AND WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT WICCANS CAN HAVE LONG HAIR OR CUT HAIR; AS LONG AS THEY HARM NO ONE ELSE, IT DOESN'T MATTER. BUT THEN THIS IS ALSO A FORM OF IGNORANCE, FOR OUR LORD PREBH VAHEGURU INSTILLED BEAUTY IN HIS (HER) CREATION FOR A REASON AND TO CUT ONES HAIR IS AN EFFACEMENT OF SUCH GOD GIVEN BEAUTY AND RESPECT; CUTTING ONES HAIR IS A LITERAL DEVIATION FROM THE SANCTITY OF A GOD (TRUE) GIVEN FORM AND APPEARANCE AND CUTTING ONES HAIR IS A CORRUPTION OF THE HUMAN BODY WHICH IS ALSO A TEMPLE OF GOD. NOW YOU UNDERSTAND WHY EVEN SATGURU JESUS, WHO PREDATED THE SIKH GURUS, ALSO DID NOT REMOVE BODY HAIR. ALL OTHER LIVING THINGS ARE ALSO TEMPLES OF GOD AND THEY DO NOT REMOVE HAIR FROM THEIR BODIES; THEY MAINTAIN THE SANCTITY AND RESPECT OF THEIR TRUE (THAT WHICH IS GOD GIVEN IS GODLY) FORM AND APPEARANCE AND SO WE MUST, AND SO WE WILL. SIKHISM IS THE WORSHIP OF THE ULTIMATE TRUTH (GOD); THEREFORE TO REMOVE ANY HAIR FROM THE BODY WHATSOEVER IS A CORRUPTION OF THIS TRUTH AND IS AS SUCH ABSOLUTELY UN-SIKHI. IT IS FOR REASONS SUCH AS THESE FOR EXAMPLE THAT SETS SIKHISM FAR ABOVE WICCA AND ALL OTHER RELIGIONS. :1singh1: VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH! THE YORUBA, IGBO, AND HAUSA ARE THE THREE MAJORITY ETHNICITIES OF NIGERIA. THEY ARE ETHNICALLY AND CULTURALLY DIFFERENT. THEIR ETHNIC LANGUAGES ARE DIFFERENT AND THEIR SOCIETIES ARE ALSO DIFFERENT. ALSO, I HAVE SEEN SOMEWHERE ONLINE THAT A HINDU MISSIONARY SOCIETY IN NIGERIA HAS ALREADY CONVERTED SOME NIGERIANS TO HINDUISM. NOW IF THE HINDUS CAN DO IT, SO CAN WE THE SIKH. VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH! :nishaan_sahib_right: :kaur: :sunsingh:

Thanks loads for your detailed reply veerjee. interesting post. would you consider writing a book / blog sharing your previous experiances and explaining the lead up to you choosing the path of Sikhi?... just a thought.... also, i thought i would make 1 little tiny point which im sure you already know... Sikhi is not a missionary faith. We believe in spreading awareness about Satguroo but more then spreading the faith, Gurbanee focuses on self improvement. But yea, its great meeting you and i hope you contribute loads to this board

One of my close relatives married a muslim woman.

She converted to Sikism and is just like any member of the family now.
