Who Is A Sikh

[harryss]

I was reading the Sikh Rehat Maryada and the defination of a Sikh is:

The Definition of Sikh

Article I

Any human being who faithfully believes in

(i) One Immortal Being,

(ii) Ten Nanaks, from Guru Nanak Dev to Guru Gobind Singh,

(iii) The Satigur,

(iv) The utterances and teachings of the ten Nanaks and

(v) the Baptism bequeathed by the tenth Nanak, and who does not owe allegiance to any other faith, is a Sikh.

The fifth point is a Sikh must take the baptism Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji started and now from the punj parias

would that exclude alot of Udasi Nirmala and Sewapanthi Sadhus who say they are Sikh but don't take Amrit.

I don't understand how a Udasi or Nirmala sikh can claim to be a Sikh if he doesn't follow the Hukam of Guru Gobind Sahib by not taking amrit.

I know that alot of Sadhus in puratan times didn't take Amrit, but are they not going against Guru Gobind Sahib Ji's Order.

Whhy you are worried about them ? worry about yourself

[harryss]

well they aren't helping Sikhi and they are turning us back to hinduism and many Udasi deras have idols of hindu gods and there teaching is more connected with hinduism then sikhi and udasi consider Guru Granth Sahib as the fifth Veda.

Also when Namdhari and Radaswami consider themselves to be sikh you agree.

Guru Sahib kicked there sons and other sects during there time out of the panth for going against there order.

Please answer this question:

So how can these sikhs consider themselves as sikh yet they don't get baptism and its the Hukam Of the 10th Guru.

do we know how many sects and subsects Do Christians , Muslims or buddists have ?

even jainis( a very smaall faith numberwise ) have not less than 50 subsects .

many amongst themselves ( within their faith) do not see eye to eye)

but nothing stops them from being muslims , jaini or christian . then why bother anyone

if he is convinced his belief is the correct one ? lets us follow the right path shown to us

by the great gurus

bro, read sikh history, and you will see.

Your post just gloats of ignorance.

Udasi, Nihangs,Nirmalas and Sewa-Panthis have been and will be part of Sikh Panth forever.
