Sanatan Sikhi Will End Sikhi

[satpunga singh]

Sanatan Sikhi is the true Sikhi, but not as how most simple minded folk understand it to be.. For those of you who do not know what Sanatan is, look it up.

But for the lazy people who will not bother to research beyond their mobile phone contacts list or this primitive forum, heres a simplified version.

Sanatan means beyond time - timeless. it is Aadh Dharam. Aadh, being beyond time. Sikhi Dharam is beyond time. This makes it SANATAN.

Instead of being scared of things that you dont understand, why dont you try and find out what lies beneath, rather than failing to see under the veil of ignorance that has shrouded people's eyes.

You aren't entirely correct. Sanatana was one of Bhramas 4 sons. The word later took the meaning 'eternal' in Sanskrit but is generally used to refer to Hinduism, which is where people get confused. It's not really used to mean 'eternal' any more, and for this reason the Buddha Dal Jathedars had to make a statement saying that Sikhi is not related to Sanatan Mat.

Sikhi is Sikhi, there is no need to add prefixes or suffixes. While you aren't wrong to say that Sikhi is eternal, adding 'sanatan' is as strange as someone saying they follow 'eternal Sikhi' but not 'Sikhi'...... Guru Sahib clearly defined Sikhi, and we should make the effort of finding out what Guru Ji said in their own words rather than blindly following any ustad etc.

The words 'Sanatan Sikhi' are not used by Guru Sahib even once. I don't think they appear in any puratan granth either.

There are some people these days who use the term to describe traditional Sikhi, to separate it from the modern SGPC stuff. That is wrong, Guru Ji gave us Sikhi. Let the neo Sikhs change the name of what they follow, but the original is and always will be just 'Sikhi'.

Guru Rakha.

Lets not knock it before we understand it lol.

Lets diffrentiate between Sanatan Sikhi and todays Sanatan. Two distinct things. Lets show milk as milk and water as water.

I do not knock the term traditional Sikhi. But a non sikh today would be forgiven for thinking that Snatan just means a person who listens to Dub, smokes weed, and sticks fingers at people from moving golf cars. Is this what the topic starter means? I fully understand what you mean.

you need to be careful with ambiguous terms like 'sanatan'. i've heard of different versions of so called sanatan sikhi. nihangs, for example, don't believe in the nonsensical version of sikhi that niddar singh claims is sanatan. nor does niddar's ideas of appropriate practices in sikh dharm represent ANY samprada's viewpoints on what is appropriate.
