You may have been following the interesting series - Around The World In 80 Faiths.

This week on Friday BBC2 9.00pm the presenter finally gets to the Indian Subcontinent and he will do Sikhism.

From the small clip from last week he is at Amritsar seeing how the langar is being made.

Lets just hope he does a good piece on us.

I think the episodes get put on to BBC iPlayer soon afterwards so can be caught on the net.

The guy who presents is an anglican priest but he is very open minded and sympathetic to all faiths and tries to find positives in all the faiths he looks at.

He did a series a while ago about faiths, went to the Kumbh mela and met up with a Hindu Sadhu. The Sadhu invited him to his ashram and when the presenter goes into this room where the Sadhue is sat .............. there is a huge picture of Darbar Sahib behind him, awesome.

Can't wait. So far it's been fascinating. Didn't watch the one about America though.

Hope he does us justice. Seems pretty fair minded from what I've seen up till now.

Just watched it on iplayer. Nice person.

But a shame that he said the belief in karma /reincarnation is the same as in hinduism as it is not.

Since Sikhs do not worship pictures or items/idols, its also a shame that there was an area where kirpans and pic of guru jee was set up as a shrine.!!

i think wat he sed was that they have a belief in karma and reincarnations just as hindu do but didnt say it was they same.

he also sed quite clearly that the sikhs were showing the same respect for the shaster that wer looked over by a pic of guru ji. he didnt say anything about sikhs worshipping pictures or idols. i thought in a shorrt amount of time he done a good job.

the singh that explained service to humanity is a way of showing devotion to god smashed it.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
