Sikhism The Oldest Religion !


Recommended Posts

I have heard many people saying that Sikhism came into being in 1469 when Guru Nanak Dev Jee took birth. But I feel we need to do veechar of this tukk :

Satgur mera sada sada, na avai na jaye ||

oh abinaasi purakh hai sab mehi rahiya samaye ||

This clearly states that Satgur is SADAA SADAA (present throughout the 4 juggaas).

In kaliyug, Satguru decided to come to this world via body in order to teach mortals via actions and to give Gurbani to humanity. But Satguru was present before kaliyug as well. It was Satguru who saved the honour of Draupadi via krishna and it was Satguru who saved the bhagats prahalad and dhruu.

a good point, we must try to remember that Sikhi is the refined form of the many ancient Dharmic paths, which as you say have spanned across the ages.

these all hold the value of contemplating Waheguru, Ram, Hari, Govind, and the countless other names of God, and re-immersing your soul with the primal energy

however some people take this fact out of context, and claim that it means that Sikhi is not distinct and is just hinduism

Sikhi is a distinct path, it is the path set out by Sri Guru Granth Sahib, it is the path to cleanse one's self of past sins, and re-immerse your soul with Waheguru

Totally agree with you on that one, you have put it very nicely.

We should remember that the essence of everything is Sat (Truth). This is the origin of all religion. Throughtout the ages, people have slowly lost sight of this.

Sikhi is taking us back to Sat, which is Waheguru.

This is NOT what I meant. The people of previous yuggs did have higher moral and ethics but they were still under the noose of maya. They were more sato-gunni than kaliyugi people but even the sato gunn is an attribute of Maya. The religions they followed were false and were unable to remove the chains of Maya. However, there were some who meditated on one God and performed good actions. These people were very few and they were saved by Satguru. The honour of draupadi was saved by Satguru Nanak. (its mentioned in bhattaan de svaiye in Guru Granth Sahib Jee).

V in Vaheguru is not for Vaheguru. its for Vasudev,

Vasudev, Hari, Ram, Gobind.

satguru is also used for god at many places in gurubani and there were many gurus in before guru nanak sahib ... guru sikh parampara was there even before sikhism started ... sant kabir bhagat namdeev etc were called as satgurus by their sikh sangat ...

    • 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.
