White Black Sikhs Converts

Has anyone ever met a Sikh other than a Indian Sikhs, such as a Black or White Sikh?

Anyone got any pictures of these Sikh converts!?

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

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 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?

Excellent, where are you from my friend ?

And how did these White Sikhs become familiar with Sikhi. You may not be able to answer this question though!

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.
