Sikhi And Astrology, Horoscopes, Future Reading?


Recommended Posts

I've heard from sikh paracharaks horoscopes, babas all this hocus pocus it utter nonsense. But do we have historical sources to justify it's wrong or gurbani or rehat? If so can people post some?

We can see in history the gurus predicted events, gave future events, Guru nanak's forehead was read by a pandit predicting his greatness. We can see many great sikh figures today have kundalanis done were hindu pandits are birth predict the childs life, including number of partners, they can predict if the person will divorce, how many children they will have, some predict the gender of their children (bare in mind this father in question is still a baby at the time of prediction), they predict occupation, degrees (numbers of it), where they would live, what numbers, dates, gem stones, metals are lucky and unlucky, what foods might be lucky or unlucky. They predict career path, some can be vague some not so vague. There are such predictions in place such as of udham singhs and bhagat singhs, however it could be with those it was faked after the events.

We see people going to mullahs, sheikhs, pirs and fakir babas to predict future and change the events of the future, in sikh history and amongst present sikhs. But guru ji took a rigid stance against these blind rituals where is the backing of the history, bani and so forth?

Hmm Ofcourse every parent wants his or her child to have a good future and for this very reason I was given a gem stone. This was when I was not an Amritdhari but was looking forward to it. Well it didn't go well. We can choose to have faith in Guru or in a gem stone.

In Islam it is a shirk to have faith in anything else but One God. According to them if you commit murder then you'll be forgiven but shirk is not forgiven.

Hope Guru Sahib gives everyone the strength to have complete faith in Him

Are you saying that you want evidence to point at the underlying core principles of sikhi such as belief in superstition, omens,auspicous dates, horoscopes, astrology, pandit consultation, wearing naghs and all that rubbish to be proven as NOT being Gurmat ?? :stupidme:

I'm not sure where or on what issue you are finding doubts and discrepancies, but you should probably first try to understand what HUKAM really means and what Guru Nanakji explains about it near the beginning of Japji sahib.

I hope that your doubts get addressed before we lose another Sikh to babay shabey and clairvoyants :nono: :omg: !!

    • Definitely the Guru Sahibs would be a heavier Scriptures to handle. Dasam Granth is more towards Bir Rass, Guru Gobind Singh showed his Greatness (of course, they would never say this) by separating his own Baania.  And the BIGGEST test of all?? Do we try and read Dasam Granth, Understand n show respect like we do to SGGS? Or... Do we QUESTION it? Guru Gobind Singh Ji is testing us. 
    • My wife will be going for an MRI scan next week but her Kara won’t physically come off.  Is there any way the mri scan can be done with the Kara still on?  The alternative is we will have to try to saw it off before the scan.  
    • was researching this and came back to this thread. Also found an older thread:    
    • Net pay after taxes. If you don't agree, think about this: If you were a trader and started off in China with silk that cost 100 rupees and came to India, and you had to pay total 800 rupees taxes at every small kingdom along the way, and then sold your goods for 1000 rupees, you'd have 100 rupees left, right? If your daswandh is on the gross, that's 100 rupees, meaning you have nothing left. Obviously, you owe only 10% of 100, not 10% of 1000. No, it's 10% before bills and other expenses. These expenses are not your expenses to earn money. They are consumption. If you are a business owner, you take out all expenses, including rent, shop electricity, cost of goods sold, advertising, and government taxes. Whatever is left is your profit and you owe 10% of that.  If you are an employee, you are also entitled to deduct the cost of earning money. That would be government taxes. Everything else is consumption.    
    • No, bro, it's simply not true that no one talks about Simran. Where did you hear that? Swingdon? The entire Sikh world talks about doing Simran, whether it's Maskeen ji, Giani Pinderpal Singh, Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi, or Sants. So what are you talking about? Agreed. Agreed. Well, if every bani were exactly the same, then why would Guru ji even write anything after writing Japji Sahib? We should all enjoy all the banis. No, Gurbani tells you to do Simran, but it's not just "the manual". Gurbani itself also has cleansing powers. I'm not saying not to do Simran. Do it. But Gurbani is not merely "the manual". Reading and singing Gurbani is spiritually helpful: ਪ੍ਰਭ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਭਾਖਿਆ ॥  ਗਾਵਹੁ ਸੁਣਹੁ ਪੜਹੁ ਨਿਤ ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੈ ਤੂ ਰਾਖਿਆ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The Lord's Bani and the words are the best utterances. Ever sing hear and recite them, O brother and the Perfect Guru shall save thee. Pause. p611 Here Guru ji shows the importance of both Bani and Naam: ਆਇਓ ਸੁਨਨ ਪੜਨ ਕਉ ਬਾਣੀ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿ ਲਗਹਿ ਅਨ ਲਾਲਚਿ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਪਰਾਣੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The mortal has come to hear and utter Bani. Forgetting the Name thou attached thyself to other desires. Vain is thy life, O mortal. Pause. p1219 Are there any house manuals that say to read and sing the house manual?
