No offence but i find this topic inappropriate and contrary to the spirit of Guru Nanak Dev. It makes no difference what ethnic/cultural background a person comes from. Religion is the only thing which does not exist within the boundaries of countries, races, cultures etc it transcends all of these.

At my Gurdwara there is an entire family of 'White Sikhs'. Sikhism is a religion intended for all human-kind. It is not an exclusive 'club' for Punjabis.

I'm actually facinated how people can turn to a religion which they have no knowldge about,

I dunno how you can even say that... Of course they know about the religion or why else would they convert?

At one stage in your family line your ancestors converted to Sikhism. Didnt they know what they were adopting as their spiritual guide?

Regards,

Sat Sri Akal:

Actually, people who embraced Sikhism (Amritdhari) know more about it than most of the people born into the Sikh religion.

When young, I had a chance to meet Satjeevan Singh Khalsa, who I believe is now a judge in New York. He described how he was introduced to Sikhism, how he started to keep his Kesh, cut them, felt very odd without them and started to keep them again. His knowledge about Sikhism was deep, and his approach to talking to kids about Sikhism was great and down to earth, partially because he had excellent speaking skills and spoke from a very practical level.

He also spoke at a Gurudwara which my dad had gone to, and there, he started out by saying "If Guru Nanak Sahib was around today, do you know what he would do? He would go onto the internet to spread his message." Very interesting speech and my dad was impressed by how far-sighted his vision was.

This is one example. Unfortunately, I have had the unfortunate expreience of also seeing two Caucaisan Sikhs on a TV court show trying to fight a case against each other. So you also have the not-so-good.

End conclusion: Must see each as an individual. They are like any other Sikh (Amritdhari) in that they believe in the same things, they follow the same guidelines and their objective is the same.

    • Hi All, I havent been on this forum for a while but I thought id give it a try again as it helped me through some rough times earlier in my life. I wanted to seek for guidance on sikhi and marriage ... I noticed a post earlier on sanjog etc. and it got me thinking about my own life and marriage. For context, I have been married 3 years and things are not working out. When we met, I looked in to sanjog alot and it felt like it was written. However, as these years have gone by its become apparent that we no longer align with each other and our marriage is struggling. We dont seem to understand each other and things have fallen apart. We are at a stage now where separation/divorce is looking like the best option. Neither of us are happy and whilst we have tried to work things through in many different ways, after 3 years we have drifted away. What are the sikh views on this? is it written if we decide that we no longer serve each other? or is that a sin and should I continue to work at it? my issue at the moment is that it is draining me. I feel withdrawn from everything due to things going on between us including sikhi and going to the gurdwara.  Breaks my heart to even be writing this but I do think if we are both not happy and cant see a way of being happy then what is the point in continuing? Or should I be continuing and is it paap if we dont honour our laavan? if that is the case, what does sikhi say about marriage? how do I continue knowing everyday I feel the way I do?   Thanks
