No, Sikhs are not Hindus (whatever the hell a Hindu is): we do not wear threads; we do not worship stones; we do not believe in castes nor is the Brahmin regarded as being superior to any other person; while the devtas exist and may be respected by puratan sampardayas like the Udasis and the Nirmalay, Sikhs do not worship them as they are considered to be subject to maya.

Dasam Granth is pretty clear, as veer Matheen ji has shown, that all of these devtay were overcome with haumai and began to consider themselves Akal Purakh when they were sent as messengers to spread Dharma (righteousness) and ecxhort worship of Waheguru.

the entire world is born from sikhs. period.

nobody is ever born with out hair on their head or hair on their face. god created sikhs first. then if cut that hair, and keep a bodhi, ur known as a hindu, if u keep ur beard and only trim moustouch, ur known as a muslim. but if u stay the way maharaj created u, people will call u a sardar. nobody is ever born hindu, or born muslim.

Sikhi is based on anything/anyone religious. If youre religious and have any of the five vices then you cant truly be religious, simple as that.

Sikhi refers to hindus, muslims, christians, jews, buddists, Jains etc etc to help them out in their own religions also.

As a Sikh we worship Ik Oankar and anyone that believes in Allah/Ram/Yahwey/Vaheguru is speaking of the same "one God" no matter what name you call Vaheguru.

Its appaling to hear a Christian say Sikhs go and worship "your God" or Muslims trying to monopolize and saying Allah is "their God" (like God is "theirs" and not everyones)

We are the manifestation of God.

God is us and God is God

Hinduism allows you to make your own way, whether being a yogi or a follower of a certain diety etc..... SO if you are a Sikh and try to attempt to make your own version of Sikhi is like being a hindu, matha teking to pictures is hinduish, performing arti with candles etc is straight up hindu, matha teking to Guru Sahib and not following the teachings is hinduish, having a weird way of matha tek and then walk three steps backwards and blindly doing this shows the person does matha tek as a "clever" way to not follow Sikhi and thinking merely matha tek is good enough devotional worship. Devoting your life to Gurmat Sikhi is devotional worship, Doing Kirtan is devotional worship, but matha teking/getting prashad/then eating langar and going home is not devotional worship and ends up being a pointless ritual if you do not gradually develop Sikh tenents in your mind as well as your life. SO when people do this and never develop a Sikh way of waking at Amritvela Naam Jap/minimum Sat Bania/Sunmukhi to Gurmukh then Im not suprized when other religions or other cultures say those people act like hindus.

sad but true

Do also read Parasprasna by Kapur Singh to understand the REAL differences between Sikhism and Hinduism ,apart from the rituals you just mentioned . A thorough read of Puran Singh's The Spirit Born People always refreshes the mind too as to the uniqueness of Sikhism .

if u pm me ill post em to u , if not u can try sikh missionary society ,southall ,UK , fone number 02085741902-ask to talk to gyani rajinder singh . or even from singh bros ,amritsar . Puran Singh's books like 'spirit of the sikh , or 'the spirit born people', etc etc etc ''' are a very important read for young inspired Sikhs . i have distributed them even to loads of non sikhs and white ppl in UK . One white american woman doing her phd in oxford university, UK was so touched that she left all her buddhism nd new age stuff and is on the road to Sikhism, even visits this site to download keeretan n simran tracks .

    • 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.
