I was looking through the archieves of sikhnet and found this post!

"My second cousin got married to a white guy recently. Her grandfather (my father's uncle) is a staunch baptized Sikh. The white boy had to become Sikh to marry her. They got married in a Gurudwara."

Does anyone know any case where a non-sikh became a sikh in order to marry a Sikh?

Yes, I know of many muslims who do this also. They do it mostly because otherwise the ceremonial Nikah or marriage cannot be perfomed .

I'm sure thats why they do it in most religions or I guess they know !!!

They both have to be muslim to do muslim ceremony. SO, mostly because of partner but not religion. My brother-in-law is muslim but married

a hindu girl & she had to become muslim 1st to do Nikah - there was a lot of fighting going on but it dosen't make sense cause my mother-in-law

is hindu herself but she converted to islam & really follows it. She & my father-in-law was forcing their son to convert his fiance to Islam .

But, I have a aunt who married a punjabi - Hari Singh & he did it out of his heart - he really follows Islam. I love Sikh religion & am @ the

Gurudwara all the time so I was questioning him & he lives in NewZealand so it's hard to really talk. He said we would have to sit down &

debate - which is what I want. I want to ask him why he converted from Sikh to Islam - we're from Fiji so we're very modernized & all sorts of

religion there so we're very open & loving - YEAH, they fall in love no matter what religion.

Whatever the reason may be, conversion to Sikhi should be a matter of truly realising the beauty and power of Sikhism. Sikhism is not a numbers game but a game of love with Gurujee. The power of being a Sikh should be that you are so inspiring and magical as a Sikh that people in your life are magnetically drawn to Sikhism through you. Its not about needing to debate and argue ,its about a Sikhi jeewan(life and lifestyle) and mindset that is tremendously attractive to people who come within your radar.

when you love someone so much that you are ready to spend your life with that person but then you want to convert the other person to your system of belief and then marry the person, does this make the person complete? or does it completes your love? these persons are not true lovers....if true lovers even exist.

      Concept of Sin

      By BhForce · Posted

      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

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      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.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      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!!

      Is suraj parkash right? is it a reliable source of info?

      By BhForce · Posted

      Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
