I was reading one of the groups i have joined on facebook and surprised how some sikhs on that group amongst other indians, call Sachin Tendulak God. Well i follow cricket and believe in that sport, Sachin is a legend and has played very well. I just got into an arguement with those posting in that group as i told them that no human can be called God, esp someone who plays cricket. Fine respect him but you cant compare him or any other human to God.

I think this is the very big problem amongst most Indians. We give humans that respect such that many people take advantage of it. That is why we see many fake baba ji's out there who have made soo many followers.

Referring to sports-people as 'God' is more of a tongue-in-cheek sentiment, rather than a full blown belief that said person is the Almighty, lol.

Strictly speaking, I don't approve of it but people have their own ways of thinking and expressing themselves. Back when I was a kid, Southampton FC legend Matt Le Tissier was referred to as 'God' due to his almost supernatural skill with the ball. I don't think anyone actually believed he was God. Getting into petty squables with people who know no better just makes you appear like a religious lunatic who hasn't got a sense of humour.

I can't speak for God, but I'm guessing He isn't too bothered about it. :D

I agree with what you say apart from one point.

on le tissier, he was a decent player but compared to others in his age i.e. cantona etc. He was average.

Only saints fans called him maybe still today as there still sh!t, 'le god'. Also cant compare him to tendulkar hes a legend and not just for indians but all cricket fans.

@ gurdssingh - Yeah that's it. It was 'Le God' wasn't it? He was okay but I reckon the Southampton fans christened him 'Le God' more for a laugh, because he was a clearly talented player choosing to ply his trade for a small team. That was where the love for him originated. But sure there were other players who were a lot more accomplished than him. But this is hugely off-topic, so apologies.

@ Punjabiboyz - Well you know how Indians feel about cricket. Doesn't make it right but I suppose they have their reasons.

      Concept of Sin

      By MokhamSingh · Posted

      The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…

      Concept of Sin

      I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
